"The Baron sent me to take Andrea's place." A young woman stated reluctantly to Torn. It was a month since Andrea had died. He looked at the young female. About five foot nine or six foot. She had shoulder-length orange-reddish hair, unbridled green eyes, and tattoos which covered her face.
"I see." Torn barely looked at her. Lately he's been getting sick of the KG with all the orders he had to take and not to mention what he had to do for the Baron and that was pumping innocent bystanders full of dark eco and watch them suffocate on it. "What's your name?"
"Ashelin. I'm nineteen."
"Ok...well I'll introduce you to your new comrades." Torn said blankly. Torn walked where they were sitting, waiting for a mission. "Louie, T, Nelson, Matt, Triple-X, Peter, Stewie, SF, Forks, Hamilton, and Greg. A couple of our comrades have been lost over these years." The men all looked at Ashelin, their jaws to the floor.
"Hubba-hubba. Torn you got over Andrea pretty fast. Who's your girlfriend?" Triple-X said, boisterous. Torn looked at him with daggers.
"She's not my girlfriend, she is the new co-commander."
"Hey I thought I was going to be the new co-commander?" Nelson questioned.
"Not my decision." Torn stated quickly.
"Hey boss. We got metal head activity out in Dead Town." Hamilton spoke.
"Looks like the newbie gets some action." Triple-X said full of amusement.
"Ok the scale says you weigh a healthy one fifteen." Erol smiled. "Now the training begins."
"Oh boy." Selena rolled her eyes. She looked different than she had before. She had long blue-black hair that went down to her backside, her skin pale but exuberant, she had purple around her eye from limited sleep, and her eyes went gold with blue around the iris.
"We are going to go out to the pumping station where metal heads roam. We can test your skills on them."
"What?! I-I don't think I am ready to fight!" Selena shouted. Erol rolled his eyes.
"I am going to be your back up you baby, and besides you full of all that eco will take care of the metal heads for you." Erol sighed.
They entered the pumping station and it was dark and quiet. The moon was their only guiding light.
"Damn it, Erol. I have a bad feeling about this." Selena hyperventilated.
"Just follow me." Erol scoffed. Suddenly a metal head popped out and jumped on Selena. She struggled to get out. It bit her arm, gushing blood. She screamed in pain.
"SELENA!" Erol shouted. Selena got mad, she sounded like she was hyperventilating, but then some kind of explosion occurred. The metal head was in bits and pieces. Selena looked almost demon like. Her eyes black, her skin so pale it was purple, her hair the darkest blue, and her hands looked as if they were on fire. She had a low growl in her stomach attacking the other metal heads. Then she was herself. Erol stared wide-eyed.
"Your arm is bleeding, lets wrap that up."
"Can I come in?" Ashelin asked behind the door.
"Yeah sure." Torn said quietly. She silently opened the door. Torn sat on his bed contemplating a lot of things.
"Is there something wrong, Torn?" Ashelin asked sincerely.
"Well you look very sad. I mean I know how you feel losing somebody important to you," She took a deep breath. "My mother was killed...by...by my father."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Torn force away a tear.
"Yeah. He still hasn't gotten what he deserves. The Baron tries to control me in that stupid palace." She emphasized the word stupid.
"Your father is the Baron?" Torn asked wide-eyed. Ashelin was silent as she shook her head. "That's terrible."
"Yeah he may be a terrible man, but he might have a way to eliminate all those metal heads for good."
"Yeah? Well I hope so."
"Yeah, well if you need to talk to anybody I'm here." She said placing a had on his lap. He looked into her eyes for a minute, then she got up and exited the room.
"Ouch." Selena winced as he put rubbing alcohol on her wound and wrapped it up.
"There we go. Now off to bed with you. You did good out there." Erol said lightly.
"OK mother." Selena said full of sarcasm. Erol chuckled menacingly.
