Author Note: Ok, some people have said in reviews about the cannnon line and you knwo what? I READ THE HALO BOOKS! believe it or not, I know the cannon line. But as the reviewer also said this is fanFICTION. And I couldn't make this time line fit the halo story line. But I'm TRYING! And by the way, I'll clear up a few things.
1. Megan Parker left two years befoore John was recruited to be a Spartan.
2. Her father died on Reach BEFORE it fell to the covenant.
3. I Got a new key board as I said and it SUCKS! it double types ALOT and I'm typing in Wordpad so I don't have spell check.
On with the story!
Herecy
Dream
"Be careful." Shasic called as Star balanced across a beam far above the ground, she was around14 and wise enough to knwo falling was death to her human body.
She reached out for teh flag the Brutes had hidden for their game of capture the flag but at that moment her heart stopped and time froze.
As if in slow motion her fooot slipped from unedr her and she grabbed the flag, but it slid out from the rafters and left her falling in slow motion to the hard ground bellow.
Star ahd away when something basd was happening...To her time just slowed down when in reality she was just think much faster then most humans could ever imagine, let alone do.
She looked down and concentrated all her weight into her legs and swung them over her head, turning so she was on her feet iin mid air.
Star perpared herself for the great journey as a single salty ttear fell from her face...That was when she hit something hard and she felt her leg snap. She openned her eyes andd, though her vision was hazed in pain, saw Shasic getting up from where he had broken her fall.
He picked her up and carried her home, she fell asleep about halfway there.
In Reality
Star snapped awake and lunged at the blurred figure shaking her, only to see Master Chief's glistening armor reflect her punch. She stood and realized wuith asmall smile at herself that she had slept fully clothed and on the floor...The human bed was rough and scratchy compared to the covenant beds.
"I thought you might like to eat something." He said and she shook her haed no before standing, cracking her neck, and looking at the yellow armor that hid where his face should have been. "But I might ahve some milk..."
He nodded and lead her into a huge mess hall, where she looked at the hell jumpers and instead sat with the marines while John ran off after saying something about the Captain calling him.
Her sensative hearing picked up the end of a hell jumpers wods and she bristled,
"-those damn covenant SOBs arent nothing, why don't we just drop a bomb on them and BOOM! They're gone."
She stood as the very thought of it sent the sight of High Charity being bombed...and the covenant vanishing as the sand beneath their feet turned to glass. "Take it back."
"What? Do you LIKE the covenant?" The Hell Jumper asked with a laugh but with a tone mastered in Elite she growled, "I said take it back...Or I'll make you."
"Ooooooh. Scary..." The Hell Jumper said pretending to shiver. "What are you gonna do? Sick Master Chief on me?"
With that a blinding wave of anger smacked her fgull force nd before he knew what was happening she had yelled, "SHUT UP!" A few seconds later he was laying with four broken ribs, a concusion, and three missing teeth as she pinned him and hit him once more before Master Chief pulled her off of him.
"Megan!" He yelled and at her old name she snapped out of it..But it was weird to be called that still...as if he wwas talking to someone else.
Megan jerked out of his grip as a few Hell Jumpers went to get their companion, "He was-"
"I don't care if he was standing on hsi head with his thumb up his ass, you attacked a soldier."
"I didn't attack him, he was speaking-" She stopped mid sentance and choked down the word Herecy on her tongue. In the covenant she could have kkilled him for that...That aws the rule, if anyone speaks herecy kill them.
"It was what?" Master Chief asked dangerously.
"It was nothing! ok! Leave me alone." She said jerking away and darting with lightning speed from the mess hall. She stood in the viewing room looking out at the stars as she sighed before sitting down and whispering, "Acaadna...Shasic...Yappity...Karo and Koro..."
What star didn't know was that extremly far away, on the covennant holy city, Her adoptive fatheer and her friends were arguing with the council to come and ake her home...but that was her problem..
Where was her home?
