sorry for the wait i had terrible writers block!
-Chapter 7-
I walk around the hotel room, humming to Buried Beneath by RED. I think Korey was getting annoyed by it.
Naturally, I started singing next. I don't think he much appreciated that.
"Sam, you have a letter from Parker!" Korey calls. I grab the letter and sit out on the hotel balcony.
Sam,
I find from your letter that you are, in fact, still mad. I promise to call as soon as I can. (They may let me at some point.)
Samantha, all out parents did for us was not lost on me. I realize the abandonment at my leaving. I regret my decision every day. I now realize we need strength in numbers. Otherwise there is no will to survive. Our parents died to save us. I am going to fight so that they do not die in vain.
I want this war to end as much as you do, Sam. I know it had gone on for far too long. The North Korean forces do not see that though, and France will not fall to them. You have to understand the need to fight. You have to realize, in the end, we would be here still.
Power is an interesting thing. It can turn even the closest brothers against one another. Look at America. They had a war with themselves. Power is a consuming thing. I find that it hunts to kill. Power wants to use you, and then it will destroy you. Then you are nothing. I find that I quiet like having little power. It makes me respect others, be kind, have manners, and I can love. Yes, even love will have to yield for power.
You see, love is often blind. Power, has eyes wide open. It cares for no one, and destroys those who care. Power is a forced not to be messed with. It kills and kills. It has no mercy. So, Mon Cherie, we must let those who have given in to the clutches of power rule. We have no other option.
Seth tells me that you have left Toni's with Korey. Do be careful Sam. I cannot lose you to this war as well as our parents.
I love you.
Forever and Always,
Parker
I realize Parker is right. That we only have each other now. Who else can we trust? In this time of war, there is no room for mistakes. Even the smallest could kill you. This is a war of spying, and cruel tactics. The North Korean forces even target the orphans as officers.
Mercy is a failing force. The death rates have sky rocketed.
I reach for pen and paper to write Parker Back.
Parker,
I find that I was in fact still mad. I really am over it now. I understand that Power is a mighty force. Mercy is dwindling thing. Has the world no mercy for us? The small orphaned children that are products of this dreaded war.
Is there so sympathy for those of us that have lost everything?
Sympathy is another losing concept. It follows with mercy. There is none. Even those who have absolutely nothing are left to die. These cruel people want to then rule the world after this. How? On what planet is that okay? None.
Parker, I don't know what to do. Strength in numbers is true, but the death toll is rising as they call entire units in one look. I have no other choice then to worry about you and Seth. You two are my family now. There is no one else left I can cling to in these times of death.
Why did you leave, Parker? You know first hand how abandonment feels. That feeling of utter emptiness you find knowing you can never really be the same again.
Life feels like one big game. A game no one is allowed to just watch. Everyone must play, and all players must play some price. The price is loss, grief, or even their lives.
The world as we know it is at stake. Fight strong and brave. Fight for me if nothing else.
I love you, too.
Forever and Always,
Sam
I seal the letter and mail it. Korey call me for dinner. That is how I see the look in his eyes. He needs some one just as much as I do. Though for now we are all the other had.
It will have to work. But how long will even this last?
sorry for the shortness. Please review!
