Chapter 17
Ones I finished the flashback I looked at everyone to see their reaction. Their reactions varied as Sarah look like she was about to shoot the first thing to cross her sights while Natalie had a mixture of sadness and anger while Air Force One had a look of disgust. Sarah was the first to break the silence as she looked at me.
"I need to have a talk with you outside privately."
I slowly followed her outside then I followed her to an abandoned part of the airport. Once she stopped I stopped a little ways behind her. She let out her breathe she had been holding and looked up into the sky.
"Did my father really reassign you because he feared you would break my heart?"
"Sadly yes."
"Well he failed in his mission because as soon as I got out of class and learned that you had been reassigned and left without even telling me."
She lowered her nosecone as she let out a suppressed sob.
"My heart was shattered into a million pieces. Depression hits hard because for the first few months after you were reassigned I stayed in my room and refused to see anyone and I barely ate. My father was so busy that he didn't notice my depression until it had already set in. When he finally saw what was happening to me I always noticed a look of guilt on his face and one time I even heard him pick up the phone and call up a base. His look of guilt quickly changed to one of pure guilt and regret. He had hung up the phone very slowly before looking at me and telling me that the supply plane you were on had been shot down."
At this point Sarah was openly crying and shaking slightly. I carefully rolled up next to her and gave her a hug. At this gesture she completely broke down and she let the tears flow.
"It's alright now Sarah. I'm still alive and I'm here now."
We stayed like that for a few more minutes then sarah let out a final sniffle before she hardened her gaze.
"Let's head back to the hanger before they send someone to look for us."
"Alright but are you sure you're going to be alright?"
Sarah froze at the question before she slowly turned around to look at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking but my wings became heavy as I felt a sense of dread.
"Your seeing that frogfoot right now right?"
"Yes."
Sarah just smirks as she moves closer and whispers into my ear.
"Then I guess I'll have to steal you back."
I didn't have time react as she gave me a big passionate kiss on the lips then she bolted back to the hanger leaving me there frozen as thousands of thoughts went racing through my mind but the only thought that stood out was, "My life is going to be very hard during this escort."
AN: things are going to be getting very interesting from here on out. again sorry for the short chapter but I promise the next chapter will be a longer one.
