'Dear Valentine,
Times have been tough. The mission is going really well and the Formics now have a knew colonization starting off. That isn't my problem though, Val. My dreams are now haunted by images of the battle; of her. She calls me a monster. She's right though. I almost wiped out the Formics and let thousands of men and women die. Don't try to say I'm not. I know I am.
I wish I had been there to say goodbye. Well say goodbye to her soul. Apparently they haven't found her body on Eros. The girl I love is floating in space. What a great boyfriend I would have made! The Parkers hate me now, don't they? I let their youngest daughter die.
I almost forgot to tell you that now my mission is over, I can come home! It may take a few months but I will be home. So for now, this is goodbye.
See you soon,
Ender.'
The commander sat back in his chair, letting out a sigh. He felt a lot of weight lift off his shoulders but there was still a bit left. He told Val only what shouldn't concern her. Like the fact that Cayla was still out there and Ender had in fact made a promise to himself and Cay that he'd find her.
'Dear Val,
I know that I haven't sent you a e-mail in a while. It's hard to get e-mails sent to home. By the time you get this, I'll be a few days from earth.
Yes. You read right. I'm almost home, Val.
When I get back, maybe things will be almost the same. Almost as if Cay was never there. I don't want it to be like that but it'll help us all. She's out there, Val. I know she is. You may think I mean she's out there floating in space with other men and women who sacrificed themselves for the innocent but I don't. I mean that she's alive. Cay has just gone missing for a while.
Anyways, be sure to tell Mom and Dad that I'm almost home. Heck! Even tell Peter. He'll probably still hate me either way!
It's been almost a year since I set off on this journey and I'm finally coming home.
See you soon, Val. I miss you,
Ender.'
Almost home. Commander Andrew Ender Wiggin was almost home. The only problem about going home was that his second in command, wouldn't be there. Cayla Alexandra Parker was gone. The commander wouldn't except that just yet.
'Dear Cay,
Yes, I know what you're thinking. Why am I writing you this letter?
My Councillor (Yes Councillor!), Cathy, thinks it'll help me get all of my "Unresolved feelings" for you. Psh! Unresolved feeling my ass! They just want me out of the house!
Mom, Dad and Val think I need to talk to someone about the battle! Like I need counselling. I'm going for nightmares. A few nightmares are nothing to be concerned about, they aren't even that bad. It's just the battle and you calling me a monster and murderer. It's stupid really.
They're trying to tell me that you're dead. I know you're still out there, Cay. I will find you. Just wait for me, okay? We'll be together soon, Cay. Cayla Alexandra Parker, you are not dead. You'll be home soon. We'll be together again and maybe this time we can be something more then best friends.
This isn't my goodbye, Cay. It's my see you later.
Lots of love,
Ender.'
Ender hadn't believed Cathy at first when he suggested writing a letter but it had in fact helped ease the pain. Not that he'd tell anyone. When his counselling sections were over, he'd look for Cay. When he had some proof that she was definitely gone, he'd get over her but not until that happened.
Not just yet.
Bodies.
Everywhere.
Dead soldier's ships had floated to Eros. A whole patrol had stayed on the moon to wait until this had started to happen. Colonels Graff and Rackam had been a few of them who had stayed alongside Sergeant Dap.
A handful of soldiers had been checking in the ships that had crash-landed on the planet. It was near impossible to survive the war and crash-landing.
"Colonel!" Dap called. "You need to see this!"
"What is it?" Graff asked as he and Rackam walked up.
Dap pointed at the ship he was looking in a minute before. All three walked up to the ship. Rackam opened the top off carefully. The Australian man had to do a double take.
"That's impossible."
This is now the end of Ender's Weakness. I had to do an eighth chapter because these letters are really important. Please tell me in the reviews if you would like a sequel or not. I won't post one without at least two or more reviews.
Don't forget to favorite, follow and review.
