Heather can you hear me?

Thorne?

Yeah, it's me. Are you alright?

Yes, but you can't save me.

You know I can't do that.

I know, it...it's why I love you Thorne.

I love you too Heather.

Thorne, be careful please.

"Commander I just heard from Heather." Thorne said.

"What did she say?" Palmer asked worriedly.

"She said for us to be careful and that she loves us a lot." Thorne said in a monotone. Everyone stayed quite then Master Chief spoke.

"Did she tell you where she was?" Chief asked sounding like he didn't care.

"No sir but I have a hunch that she's in the planets core." Thorne said shaking his leg nervously. Chief felt a little bit relived rhat they knew where Heather was but he was still worried about her. His heart ached knowing that she wasn't near him. Not only that but she doesn't want him to save her but Spartan Thorne can?

Why the hell is she so fucking dense. I mean I may not look like a caring person but I am. God damn it Heather just let me help you. Your not alone anymore so stop acting like you are. I hurts me just thinking about you and Thorne together not only that but you told him that you loved him. THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW AFTER HEARING THAT?! UGHHHH if Cortana was here we could track her down faster. Sigh is love really supposed to make me crazy like this, or is it jealousy? Chief debated to himself until they got to there destination.

"WEAPONS FREE." He said over the comms and they started firing. Fireteam Majestic and Osiris blocked the entrance. Blue team and Commander Palmer went into the portal and found themselves inside the planets core. Chief led all of them to where he first incountered the Didact. And he was right he saw Heather sitting next to her father. She looked out of the corner of her eyes and saw him.

NO! He's not supposed to be here. I shouted in my mind, but physically I smiled at them.

"Father it seems that our...guests have arrived early." I said wickedly.

"Oh have they, well then shall we greet them?" He asked in monotone.

"Of course. " I said smirking. I disintegrated the walls they were hiding behind and destroyed their weapons. Chief stood their in shock of me turning against them.

I'm sorry John but I have to do this please forgive me.

I just don't understand. WHY?! How could you do this to us? We love you Heather. I love you.

Please don't make this hard Chief.

Just let me help you. We can stop him together.

Sigh. Okay what do you got?

We can convince him that we're dead. just ask him if you can fight us.

Alright. I think I've got it.

Good because he's charging right at us!

"Father is it alright if I have the pleasure of killing them?" I asked with a fang showing on the side of my mouth.

"Of course, but leave the reclaimer for last." He instructed. I smiled and took off my armor and challenged everyone of them to a fight, but on the inside I knew that I didn't want to hurt them. They we're my family I couldn't kill them even if I had too.

Heather its alright Chief told us the plan so you better fight hard.

I smiled at Commander Palmer and charged at her, I punched her stomach hard and kicked her side. She groaned and blocked me from punching her in the face.

"HOW COULD YOU SIDE WITH HIM HEATHER?! HE'S THE ENEMY." Commander Palmer shouted as she threw herself on me.

"He never was the enemy he protected me from you. YOUR THE ENEMIES HERE NOT MY FATHER." I shouted back at her throwing her off of me and slamming her onto the ground. Palmer coughed up some blood and staggered back a little. Fred tried to sneak up behind me but I heard his footsteps. I moved away from him quickly and fell right into blue teams trap.

"Heather I'm sorry but your relived of duty." Linda said coldly. I saw fear in John's eyes and looked away from him. My mind was corrupted by my father, everything hurts.

"IT HURTS." I shouted loudly. Tears dripped down my face at the pain. Blood came out of the side of my mouth.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

"Brother." I said weakly. Eli grabbed me from blue team and carried me to a safe location with my father.

"Know you've really got another thing coming." Eli said harshly. He took off his gloves and showed his claws. But he wasn't paying attention to Thorne right behind him. Thorne shot Eli dead in his tracks. I ran to Thorne and hugged him tightly. I cried in his arms and felt safe again. His warmth was so protecting and calming.

"Thorne I...I'm sorry I'm so so sorry. I don't know what came over me. Please don't hate me please." I pleaded softly into his ear. He squeezed me tightly and held me to chest.

"It's okay I promise, your safe now Heather, your safe." Thorne said looking away from Master Chief's glare. I felt it too but I didn't care I just wanted to be next to Thorne.

"So...was that dude really your brother?" DeMarco asked cautiously.

"I guess so. Since he came after me like he knew me but I only have five brothers and it's you guys." I said proudly smiling. It felt good being next to my family again.
