"Sir I just think that I should talk to him. He doesn't know what he signed up for."
Elsa pleaded to the Colonel.
"He is out of his mind for wanting to do this!"
Tears began to form in the blondes eyes. The general stayed stone faced.
"Major, Kristoff is very capable of this mission."
The words didn't seem to reach the majors ears.
"I won't allow him to do this! He is going to throw away his life for what?" Anger was slipping through her tongue and the man in front of Elsa let out a soft sigh.
"Please calm down and take a seat." Elsa did as asked. "I understand that you care for the boy but he already is signed up. He has about two weeks before he ships out. I don't want him doing this either. There are more qualified people, he is just very persistent and he convinced the General to let him go."
The Colonel wore a weak smile at Elsa. She stared desperately into his eyes.
"You have to let me talk to him, I can change his mind. Please. Just give me a few days."
The man tried to look away but the passion in the blondes eyes was hard to ignore.
"Alright fine, I will send him down here for a few days. Not on liberty though, he'll help out a bit. But I will only be able to get you at the most three days with him."
The blonde nearly shot out of her seat, pulling the Colonel up and shaking his hand energetically.
"Thank you so much. I can change his mind. Thank you!" With that she saluted the higher up officer and walked quickly out of the room. The man was left in a daze scratching his head as he watched the blonde leave.
"Where did we find her?"
That idiot. God did he really think I would let him do this? has he thought about his family? And what about me?
Elsa's thoughts went rampant as she quickened her pace to her office.
If he thought i'd let him go to the Southern Isles right now he's crazy.
Turning the last corner to her office her pace had turned into a run.
I need to talk to him.
She reached her office and skidded to a halt before slamming into her door. Inside she went straight for the phone, quickly dialing the number. However before it could ring she set the phone down.
"Calm down. He will be here soon. If you call him he might find a way out of coming here."
With a deep breathe Elsa let her heart slow down a bit.
Just distract yourself until he gets here. Go check on the camp, do something an officer should do. check the recruits.
Immediately the scene of Anna flashed through her mind.
Okay maybe don't check on the recruits. Fuck.
Suddenly Anna's scent engulfed her senses. Visions of the strawberry blonde invaded her mind.
She shivered as a thought of the girls lips on her neck shot through her mind.
"Enough."
Her hands now in tight fists, Elsa turned towards the door.
I am settling this little affair.
Shit shit shit shit shit.
The strawberry blonde felt a pain in her side as her platoon started the 3rd and final sprint of their run. Anna had been great at running because of track but this was getting out of hand. Every day her platoon started their day with a 3 mile run. Anna had been given the position of Squad leader and with that she was "in charge" of 1/4th of her platoon. Not a large title or even of any real importance but still, Anna didn't want that taken away because she had a cramp.
Pull it together Anna. You got this.
Pushing the pain out her mind Anna raced back to the front of the platoon. Just as she cleared one of the other squad leaders, Tiana, she passed the ending point of the run. Slowly she came to a halt and then grinned up towards the rest of the recruits as they as well passed into the safe zone.
"Great job, take a few minutes to rest then it's off to hand to hand combat!"
Their Senior Drill Instructor tried to be stern but couldn't help but show her growing affection for these girls. Every single one of them was excelling in all parts of training. Anna and Tiana especially.
The girls grabbed their water jugs and took a moment to relax. The sun was out, despite the temperature being only 35 degrees, it was a beautiful day.
"Hey great job out there!"
Tiana was talking to Anna as the strawberry blonde gushed down water.
Without a thought she attempted a response. Resulting in Anna spitting water all over herself and Tiana.
"Oh shit I am so sorry, that was stupid."
Tiana just laughed as she wipes herself off.
"Hey, it's fine. We're drenched in sweat anyways!"
"Yeah true, I thought you were gonna beat me there for a second."
Anna smirked up at Tiana who shrugged.
"Ha. I let you win. You won't be so lucky next time and besi- oh crap"
Tiana snapped into a salute as she looked over Anna's shoulder. Anna turned to see and immediately followed Tiana's lead.
The platoons Senior caught a glimpse of the oncoming blonde and rose to attention.
"Recruits stand at the ready!"
All the other recruits fell into attention quickly and once they caught eye of the Major raised their hand into a salute.
Elsa approached the Senior.
"At ease Calhoun. I have heard good things about your platoon, I've simply come to see it for myself."
A smirk rose across the Drill instructors face as she relaxed a bit.
"I am very proud of these girls, best I've seen in awhile. We are just about to go to hand to hand combat, care to join?"
Calhoun smiled at the Major and received a small head nod in return.
"Alright ladies, form your ranks. We head for combat training now."
The girls fell into a 4 by 6 block with the squad leaders at the soon to be center rank. Elsa and Calhoun made their way to the front of the block.
"Company, left, face!"
In unison the platoon all turned to face where the two officers now stood. Elsa turned to face the other way as Anna's eyes locked on hers. Calhoun then gave the command, and they were off. The two officers were far enough ahead that their words were hard to catch. Anna didn't dare break rank or orders in the small chance she might hear better.
"Hey, Ti, what do you think they're saying?"
Anna's voice was just loud enough for Tiana, the squad leader to her left, to hear and maybe the girls one rank behind to hear.
"Shh Anna, probably nothing. Nows not the time though, I don't feel like making a bad impression to the Major."
Anna let out a small sigh but decided against further attempt to speak.
Don't worry I already managed that one.
After getting back to her bunk the night of the encounter with Elsa, Anna realized how stupid she had been.
She's a higher ranking officer, for christs sake she's a damn Major. what were you thinking?
As Anna's thoughts continued to remember the night, Elsa had different plans.
"Yes, the squad leaders are all doing wonderful, I was going to talk to two of them about MARSOC actually."
Elsa's eyes shot to Calhouns as she said this.
"Really? Which ones are you talking about?"
Both girls looked behind their shoulder. Calhoun nodded to the recruit on the furthest to the right.
"See her? That is Esmeralda Phoebus. She has the strength of an Ox and the brains to match. A bit free spirited, but hey, her spunk is great."
As the two looked back at the recruits, nervous glances were sent their way. Obviously they thought something was wrong. Both officers turned to once again face forward.
"And then I don't know if you saw her but the redhead on the exact other side of the block, Anna Salisbury."
God of course she would be a pick.
"She is the fastest in the platoon and so far has shown the most accuracy with a rifle. The first few days I thought she was going to be trouble but she fell into a attitude of pure determination, reminds me a bit of you."
Did you really need to add that?!
"Oh."
Elsa looked to the Drill instructor.
"She can't be broken, and she beat your record on the mile."
Calhoun smiled at Elsa and watched as the blonde turned bright red.
"It's funny how this worked out, you should really be the higher officer. It feels strange being I guess above you Cal. And how much did she beat it by?"
Calhoun smirked and looked away from the Major.
"15 seconds."
Elsa's mouth dropped.
"Wait what? That is insane! I did that mile in 4:18 and I was never ever able to cut down my time!"
"Calm down, she's a track star from college and high school. and it was bound to happen one day, besides that's just the best of this camp don't get to smug their Elsa."
A small sigh escaped the majors mouth and a chuckle followed after.
"Well you always taught me strive for the best."
"Don't worry, as the probably the youngest Major in history it's safe to say you never stopped doing the best you can."
Elsa smiled up at her old Drill instructor.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet, I need your help to help with the recruits, since you're already here."
They were approaching a bunker with mats all throughout the inside as well as several punching bags hanging from the ceiling.
"Company, READY, HALT."
The recruits performed a perfect halt and fell into attention, awaiting further orders.
"Alright find a partner and stand on a mat, stretch and warm up a bit, but no one is to touch anyone else until I give the order."
Elsa watched as Anna teamed up with Esmeralda.
"Have fun gingy"
Elsa froze as she realized she said that out loud, in an almost silent room.
Anna looked up but only for half a second.
"Already makin nicknames? That's my job Major, even if you do out rank me."
Calhoun nudged Elsa with her shoulder as she made her way to the center of the girls. Elsa stayed off the mats to watch the recruits.
Great. Good going. You're really showing the traits of a Major now.
Elsa rolled her eyes at herself then let them fall on Anna and Esmerelda. The strawberry blonde was a good 4 inches shorter than her opponent, and clearly out powered.
"Alright being that you all have been here before many times, and being that it's 6 weeks into boot camp. You all know what to do, start with basic punches, kicks, then move to disarming. Start slow."
The two girls began what almost looked like a dance. Esmeralda throwing hits and Anna easily dodging each one. Her speed was an obvious winner. Anna threw a few hits and she was met with a perfect block each time. They were a perfect match.
After every other pair had eventually found a winner, Anna and Esmerelda were still encircling each other. Calhoun made her way to the edge of the mat the two shared, softly laughing as the they continued their endless routine.
"Alright that's enough you two. Great job but next time try pairing up with someone you won't have an infinite battle with."
The two straightened their stances, shook hands and turned towards Calhoun.
It was Elsa who broke the small moment of silence. She lightly clapped as she walked towards the platoon, which had made its way around the never ending match.
"Excellent job recruits. You all are some of the best I have seen."
I haven't seen really any recruits besides maybe 4 platoons, so I am not lying, eh whatever.
"I'd like to talk to two of you."
Elsa turned to look at Anna and Esmeralda.
"Senior Calhoun, if you would allow me, I want to borrow these two for the rest of the day."
"They are all yours Major."
Confused but excited Esmeralda walked over to Elsa, saluted then stood in a parade rest.
Anna however stood completely still.
"Private Salisbury, is there a problem?"
Anna opened her mouth to speak but decided against it. She saluted Elsa.
"No ma'am. No problem."
She joined Esmerelda and stood in parade rest.
"Excellent, thank you Cal. Ladies, follow me."
Elsa turned and began a steady pace, the two recruits who were awaiting orders to march quickly caught up when they realized the Major had no intention of giving them.
"Let's have some fun girls."
Elsa smirked, Esmeralda remained stone faced, and Anna just about barfed.
