Time:
evening, November 1st , R.C. 71
Location:
Medical Tent, Rebel Army base
The Evening sunset sun
beamed threw the window of Celia's room. She sat up in her bed and
began to wipe the sleep from her eyes.
"Huh were could I be
now?" she said as she got up. She looked to her left and noticed
Lt. Johnson
slumped in a Chair, Sleeping.
As reached for her
clothes, she could hear the hustle and bustle of the soldiers
outside. She Dressed
in her garments and washed her face in the
bathroom sink, and began to head out of the tent.
She gave the base a
quick glance while taking a deep breath of the brisk air. She noticed
all of the people
hard to work, which was something much
different then back at home.
"Hey you, Girl" A distant voice called to her. She turned to find a young soldier was dashing to her
"ummm….yes?" she asked in response.
The Soldier grabbed her arm and attempted to pull her.
"this isn't a place
for Civilians ma'am!" he was shouting to her. She Struggled to
get out of his grip, but it
was futile because she was still weak
from her ordeal.
"let me go!" she shouted back at him.
At that moment, Lt. Johnson Came out of the tent.
He scolded the man
"What is this? Let her go Soldier, she is with me" he looked at
Celia. "looks like you
owe me again, young lady"
Celia Smiled "Thank you" She gently responded.
"Well what are we
doing standing here, lets get you something to eat!" he stated,
walking off and directing
her to follow. Celia staggered quickly
after him, in an attempt to keep up in her Heels.
Celia gave her
surroundings another glance, and puzzlingly asked, "So…were
exactly am I? This place Seems
like a military camp of some sort, but
I'm sure it isn't ZTNK."
Johnson Put his hands on his sides and let out a laugh "Well that's because this is a rebel Installation missy."
Celia scrunched her nose and gave a look of confusion. "the Rebels have a military? I didn't know."
As Johnson stopped
walking to shake hands with one of his Subordinates, Celia began to
give him a more
'through' inspection.
"So Lieutenant, who
is this pretty dame with you?" The man asked. Johnson turned and
looked at Celia, who
was still Embarrassingly staring at him.
"What exactly is your name, girly?" He asked her.
Celia snapped back into reality. "Oh! My name is Celia" She quickly responded.
The man smiled at her
and said "That's a nice name" he then said his goodbyes to
Johnson and continued off
to his destination.
"So its Celia huh?" Johnson asked. Celia Blushed as she looked down, attempting not to look in his face.
"Yes…..but…I
didn't catch your name.." she mumbled. Johnson stopped walking
and knelt down, so he
could see her eye-to-eye
"Its Steven Johnson…are you ok?" he asked concerningly.
The Disoriented princess looked at him and said "Yes…I'm fine Steven"
"Well then, lets head off to the mess hall! We don't want to miss all the food, now do we?"
Celia Shook her head in agreement.
Time:
8:30 PM
Location:
rebel HQ Mess hall
Johnson Guided Celia to
the Food trays and down the aisle. She was surprised on how sloppily
the food
was served, and decided not to eat nothing but salad.
"You ok Celia? You didn't grab much" He asked her as he payed the dinner fee.
"Yes, I'm just not too hungry." she responded wandering off.
Celia stood in the
middle of the mess hall, when Johnson Grabbed her and directed her to
the table were
Cho, Shinta and Enday Resided.
She sat down and grabbed a napkin to place on her lap. Cho looked at Celia with slight disgust and said,
" I see your little princess Decided to wake up, Lieutenant"
Johnson Glanced up from his plate and said "Yes, she woke up about an hour or so ago."
Shinta took some time
from eating his sandwich to say "Well at least she's polite and
not a snot-headed
brat who doesn't know how to take a breathe when
he's eating."
Enday, who was engulfed in his soup, paid no mind to Shinta's statement and continued on gobbling.
Celia, who was quietly
eating her salad, took a chance to assess her situation: Her father
might be dead,
and she doesn't have a way to contact home for a
rescue.
A tear came to here
eye. Enday noticed this and asked "so What sup with you? You
haven't said anything
since you sat here."
She looked up and
smiled, attempting to cover her emotions. "Oh nothing. I Just need
some more time to
take all of this in" She responded.
"Ah I see. That's ok wit me, I'm new here too so I'm not to comfortable." Enday said back.
Shinta jumped in "not
comfortable! Your sitting there sucking up your food like a freakin'
vacuum! that's
comfortable if you ask me"
Johnson Laughed.
Cho finished her plate, Wiped her hands, and stood up to leave.
"I'm done eating Lt. Johnson..I think I'm going to go to the showers then to bed." she said
Johnson looked at her
and said, " actually Cho I think you should take Celia with you.
she cant exactly stay
with me, and I'm sure another girl is
something this young lady needs right now."
Cho sighed in disbelief.
"Your not honestly serious are you?"
"Im very Serious Private Tsi." Johnson stated a matter-of-factly.
Cho just gave out a grunt as she and Celia walked off together to the living quarters.
Time: about 9:00PM
Location: Cho's room
Celia followed Cho into
the room. There were two beds Positioned near the window, and the
area were
Cho left her clothes to lay was neat and in order. Next to
Cho's bed was a picture of her and boy, who
looked to be slightly
older then her, but not by much
"you…probably want to take a shower, am I right?" Cho asked.
Celia put the picture down "oh yes please…but might I ask who this is?"
Cho came and took the picture from her hand
"nothing that concerns you." she snapped.
Celia felt attacked, so she took a few steps back "perhaps ill just take that shower now" she said.
Cho pointed her in the direction of the showers. Celia grabbed a towel from the closet .
She undressed quickly
so Cho wouldn't see her naked and placed her clothes on the bed and
headed to
the shower. Cho noticed something odd about Celia's
clothing, so she got up to take a look. Laying on her
Blue dress, was
a beautiful Hair piece. It was a pink flower with golden strings
dangling from it.
This is beautiful Cho thought. She then noticed something written on the Hairpieces center. "In God we place our faith"
Cho gasped as she dropped it on the bed.
"She is the princess of gallium!"
