Chapter 5: The War
After about two weeks in the infirmary, I was finally cleared to go back to my normal live. (Which Beta was very pleased about…) I was in the cafeteria about to eat my lunch, it was the first time in two weeks that I wasn't going to eat strange hospital food. So, ya, I was pretty excited. I was halfway done when I felt as though I was forgetting something. I took a look at the clock to see it was 1:30pm. I was looking at the clock as though it was a strange foreign object, I looked at my watch and it said it was only 12:30. "My watch must be off" I thought, when I finally realized what had been bugging me for the past hour. I HAD A MEETING IN THE BRIDGE AT 1! I jumped out of my seat and booked it as fast as I could to the bridge.
When I got to the bridge I noticed that almost no one was there! I walked in with the commander looking at me like I was insane, I looked at the clock on the bridge and do you know what it said...12:30! The clock in the cafeteria was the one that was off. After I explained that to the commander he just laughed at me...so I decided to stay in the bridge for another half an hour until the meeting started.
The meeting was halfway over, almost done with this stupid meeting. That's when we got the transmission...the distress signal. Everyone froze, no one did anything when we heard it. No one smiled, no one spoke, we were all holding our breaths.
The covenant were attacking, and they were focusing all of their attacks on Reach...it was the start of a secondary war.
Authors Note: Well there you have it, the end of my first fanfiction. But don't worry, I will be posting a sequal called Night Cell very soon. Until Then!
