Militia Force

Chapter 5- Day 4

I had the weirdest dream. Weird because it was when I first met Adam.

Four years ago….

"Hey Sara, you gonna wipe the floor with your new sparring buddy?" "Of course I am, remember that to win you have to give a full strength kick to the opponents chest when they're down."

"Whatever you snake. No offense but you're not going to win." "Tina, what the hell you're supposed to support me with this and stop calling me snake you know I hate that."

We headed through the corridors and made our way to the sparring area. Tina went to the observation deck while I continued through the hall. This is my chance to show Hollows I'm the best in project MORNING STAR. The door closed behind me and I was face to face with my opponent. I couldn't tell who he was with his armor but the bell rang and it was fight time.

I acted first with a swift punch but all he did was jump side-roll across my back and swept at my legs. I quickly got back up and then I got a round-house kick to the head. I was getting dizzy but shook it off and went for his legs. He jumped, kicked me in the gut and a punch to the head that cracked my helmet. He's too strong for me what am I going to d—. Before I could finish I fell to the ground by a back kick and saw him raise his leg ready to probably kick my rib cage in when he stopped and held out his hand.

I took his hand got up and yelled, "Why didn't you finish the match! What are you, some kind of chicken or scaredy cat?" He took off his helmet and with a calm expression said, "I'm here to train not pointlessly brutally injure my comrades." Up in the observation deck I could hear boos at him but it didn't seem to phase him.

Hollows entered the room next and that's when he announced that that kid and I would be partners. That kid… That kid was Adam.

Present Day…..

I opened my eyes to find myself in a rather blank room. I sat up and realized I'm in the hospital. I looked left and saw Colonial Hollows asleep in a chair and the door of the room then I looked right. To my right was the window but more importantly was the person in the bed next to mine. Sara was there with vitals machines all around with IV's and a bunch of other gadgets I've never seen.

Hollows woke up a few minutes later and filled me in. "…. In the end she saved you but received extra wounds and will be in monitored bed rest for at least five to seven days." I looked back at Sara speechless then asked, "How long were we out for?" "For three days," replied Hollows. "What about me?" "You're fine now and you can leave whenever you want. I have a cab to take you anywhere you want." "'K thanks" I got out of bed put on my civilian clothes which were a pair of denim jeans with some holes in them along with a gray short-sleeved shirt with a blue and white plaid over-shirt. As I left through the door I suddenly heard Hollows wanting to tell me one more thing. "One more thing Adam. Be sure to stay out of trouble." I replied with, "No promises." and left. I asked the cab to take me downtown and it was about an hour to get there. I was just here to kill some time and look around. I was looking at stores ranging from supermarkets to clothe stores. I passed a gift shop and took a look in it and found some neat trinkets and I neat jewel called a rubium fridium. It was a crystal that was a mix of an emerald green and ruby red and it was sure to catch anyone's eye. I made my way to the card section and made it to the birthday section. That's right; Sara's birthday is about three weeks from now. I need to find something to get her but nothing came to mind so I left the store.

I was walking back to the cab when I heard a familiar voice behind me. "YO ADAM!" I turned and saw my friend Tom. "Hey Tom what's up." "Nothing much just hanging with Susan, Britney and Edd." "How is everyone?" "They're OK but time to get back to business." I looked at him as if he were crazy. What business I thought he just came to say hi? "I was your first friend and also your best friend right?" "Yea but what does that have t—""Then tell me. Are Susan and Britney telling the truth when they say you and Sara are…." "Are what?" "You know. Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" I was shocked for an instance then whacked him really hard in the back of his head. "Of course not you dope why would you even listen to them?" "You're right. That's the last time I listen to Susan and Britney telling Edd and I that it's their feminine hunch." I got closer to him and whispered in his ear, "The next time they get one of their hunches and you believe them I'll make sure to whack you three times harder, got it?" "Yea got it." From the distance two girls and one guy were walking over calling for Tom. The brunette one, Susan, was the one screaming at us like a maniac. "Hey Tom get your red head over here and…. Oh Adam is that you?" "Yea it's me." "Oh well where is Sara?" I can just tell she's trying to prove to Edd now about her feminine hunch. "She's still on her trip. How come you think she has to always be with me?" Her face turned red with embarrassment and said, "Oh, no reason. Anyway we have to go now see you some other time." "Sure." They started to head off then I shouted, "Remember what I told you Tom!" "Don't worry I will!"

I got back to my apartment around ten at night. I threw my shorts on and went to bed. I couldn't help but think about if Sara is gonna be all right. Soon after, I fell asleep.

When I fell asleep it was eleven and that's when I had the weirdest dream and it's one I never want to have again….EVER.
