Battlefield

Roy watched the snipers load into their transport, but noticed one was missing. He found her by the cliffs where they had once found peace. Upon seeing her quaking form, he spoke her name.

"It wasn't a battle it was a massacre," she whispered, gesturing to the blood-covered battlefield below them.

He took that moment to comfort her, pulling her close he stroked her hair, "Shh, Shh," he cooed, hoping it had a calming effect, "You didn't do half of the damage I did. We live to make up for it. One day we will put an end to this."
