Day
~Ross City, Antarctica~
"I knew it! I bloody knew it! Last time I rely on that guy for information!" After planting the electric diffusing bombs Eden created I figured all I had to do was make my way out of there and I was home free. What I didn't plan on was the head of the Security branch coming in his office early from the scheduled meeting.
"Hey! Who are you?! What are you doing in here?! Your that Damn Night guy aren't you?" He yelled at me while attempting to pull out his knife strapped to his waist. Note I said attempting. He wasn't very successful because he was shaking more than pulling.
"I must seem awful scary to you yeah? Seeing as you can't even pull your knife out or to call for backup." I say smugly enjoying the way his eyes glance back and forth quickly while trying to think of a way to get out of this situation. Walking slowly towards him I twirled my dagger casually and give him a wicked grin.
"You know I once worked for someone with as much power as the President you work for. All that power and control really does get to them eventually. So tell me Mr. Dressen how does it feel being used and toyed with? Do you really have any power at all or are all your decisions passed once it's under the approval of the President?" I ask this last bit with scorn.
Face contorting in rage he looks at me and squints
"Where are your points? Why are the only one who doesn't have a scoring system and yet you have the language modifier chip?" Are all these Antarcticans hung up on this goddy point system?
"What is it with you guys are your point system?! Does it really matter if I have a low score or a high score? What prize do I get once I have reached the highest points? Do I get to become the President? You can continue on living your life as a caterpillar under the control of the wasp who stung you but let me tell you Mr. Dressen, I don't like the way this system works and I'll stop at nothing to make sure it gets taken down. So you can tell your precious President that Night is when all things come to an end and it's the last thing you see when you close your eyes. All your mistakes and decisions are shown to you and that's what I plan on doing. I am going to show everyone all the mistakes that the President is making and bring his little perfect world to an end." I said clenching my jaw in an attempt to keep my temper under control. I couldn't afford to do anything rash like that one time in the Capitol.
Sneering Dressen replied "You may think you can change the system Night but what can one man possibly do? Stir up a nation? Let alone someone as rebellious and thick skulled as you. Why I bet the reason why no one can see your score is because it's so low it doesn't even exist. So go scurry back to your rat hole and only come back out at night when all the rats do their dirty work. No ones going to side with someone who hides their face, at the end of the day you will have no one and that will be all your fault."
Suddenly I hear a explosion down below. Smirking I run to the window that I shattered getting in. Turning around I simply say
"That's my cue, make sure you check the tech support control center they may have a…minor setback for you to deal with. Oh and Dressen. I have far more followers than you'll ever know."
June
1637 Hours
Batalla sector, Los Angeles
Years have passed.
I know I should stop looking because every time I find something it only brings more pain. The source of all that pain?
Ollie.
My dog always ends up ripping one of my important projects and I have to start all over again.
"Ollie! What did you rip up now?! Seriously dog when did you start acting up and destroying my work?" Walking over to where Ollie is I see that he did indeed knock over one of my boxes that held important stuff, but this box in particular held some things that reminded me of my past and Day. Reaching around quickly I put everything back into the box and check to see if Ollie has anything in his mouth, luckily he doesn't.
When I get up to put the box a higher shelf my toe hits something under the end table. Reaching down I pull it out and find the microchip Eden gave to me before him and Day left to Antarctica ten years ago. At that time I was trying to balance my aching heart and the duties that I had to undertake as a Princeps-Elect after the war so I just shoved it in my pocket and when I got back I threw it along with other things that reminded me of Day into a box and put it in my closet.
Now all these years later I finally have the courage to see what it is Eden gave to me. Plugging it into my laptop I bring up the document and find that it's journal entries Day wrote during his last two weeks in the Republic after leaving the hospital.
March 17
The headaches have gotten better, they don't seem to happen quite so often anymore but whenever I try to remember something from the last year or two my brain feels like it completely shuts down. It's frustrating because I know I'm forgetting something important.
Someone important.
Eden is taking everything in stride its like he's a mama owl looking after her injured baby. I can't believe how much he's grown up, its like yesterday that he was building a water balloon contraption and killing our flowers instead of watering them. He was always brilliant with his hands. I'm sure he'll become a famous engineer and people will be screaming his name instead of mines.
The pills they have me take make me drowsy so I better stop writing for now.

Laughing to myself a little at Days description of Eden as a mama owl I continue scrolling down.
March 18
I've gotten some memories back. I remember running through the streets in the Republic and scaling walls to get into a hospital. I remember seeing a republic soldier out front and thinking he looked like someone who could be a natural leader. I think I was looking for medicine for my family to help with the disease Eden caught. I couldn't give up those goddy Republic rich people had enough medicine they could spare a few for my brother. But before I could remember any more one of the caretakers that has apparently been watching over us for a while walked in. Her names Lucy and she seems trustworthy.
Pausing my hands shake a little knowing he's talking about my brother Metias.
Through out all of this why does one name haunt me? Eden tells me stories of what went on during the last two years and as he tells them I can sort of see it in my head. Though when he comes to a certain name he looks at me out of the corner of his eye as if he's waiting for a reaction. June. That name haunts me even now, who is she, and what kind of relationship did we have that causes Eden and Tess to hesitate and search my eyes hopefully. June whoever you are you haunt me day and night. Even in my dreams I wake up gasping your name but I always forget my dreams as soon as I wake up.
~Daniel Wing
There are a few more entries but I can't read them just yet through my tears. Day. You dreamed of me?
I miss you so much. I said this before but I'll say it again
I love you, I love you, until the day we meet again I will hold you in my heart and protect you there. I wish you here Day.
Closing my laptop I make my way to the bathroom and wash my face. I have the sudden urge to go look for him, whether if its just online or through Tess I need to know what he's doing and if he's moved on and is living in happiness.
When I'm opening my door I get a call on my phone. Looking at the caller I.D I see that it's Anden calling. Frowning I answer it, Anden and I haven't that much contact in the few months since our breakup.
"Hello?" I say turning back around not knowing how long this will take.
"Hello June, I know its been a long time but I just received word from Antarctica about a problem that needs to be handled. Apparently there's a unknown vigilante known as Night running through their cities and causing havoc among the citizens. Just last night he broke into the Head of Security's office and planted some kind of bomb that stops all electric Devices and when they turned it back on the data was erased." Anden explains sounding serious but I could hear the undercurrent of amusement in his tone. Antarctica asked for our assistance before usually when they a situation handled that may cause major points to be taken away from there soldiers. This Night guy…the opposite of Day.
Could it be? No I'm just trying to grasp at straws he could be doing the opposite of what Day was trying to do an bring him down.
"I'll be more than happy to go on this mission if that's why you are calling." I tell Anden jumping at the chance to go to Antarctica and see how Days doing for myself.
"When do you need me to be ready to go?" I ask.
Chuckling Anden replies "The squadron I have ready will be departing tomorrow at 0600, think you'll be ready by then?"
"Yes sir I'll be there early to make sure everything is in place and were ready to go."
"Of course okay bye June, and good luck." Anden whispers this last part.
Turning off my phone I rush trying to make sure everything is packed and ready to go in the morning.
"Well Ollie, hope your as in love with winter as you are with summer." I tell him smiling to myself at this sudden change in plans.
After ten years I'll get to see Day.
Sorry if it seems a little rushed I had to start my summer reading for school so I didn't get a lot of time to work on this as I would have liked. I want to say thank you to Littlerya, Guest Angel, Guest and Princesslolo123 for your reviews I really appreciate them!
