Thread: Stand By Me (Liliana & Rskde)

Feeling that he was sizing her up, all the men around her that didnt know her, always did that. So at this point she was use to it. Also it made her work harder than most. But she wasnt one to brag about what she did. Letting what she did show in her actions and how she handled herself. Letting go of his hand. This was going to be one hard mission for her. Looking to the front of the class, as his words brought her eyes back to him. He didnt know a damn thing about her skills. Narrowing her eyes at him. Well good for you. Her voice flat and even. But she wouldnt tell him, that was actually pretty good. He would have to play nice with her if she was going to be nice to him. They actually might make it through this school. But they would both have to work together, be a team. That didnt look like it would be easy by a long shot. Their lives would depend on each other, if they happened to go to war. There would be no time to hate each other. I will be sure to work on that. Turning her attention the the front of the room. She knew most of this, but it didnt hurt to actually pay attention. And she might actually learn something new. Having a love of learning all things about the Marines, even at a young age. Her eyes locking on the image that comes up on the screen. Taking everything in that she could, not wanting to miss a thing. Not that she would be handling them. But it was always good to know what type of weapon your sniper would be using. Yes, the sniper did the shooting. Though the spotter worked to guide the sniper to the right spot. And it get what they all wanted in the end, what was called the red mist. The point where when the bullet takes out the target. Shooting them through the head, when it went through the skull. Blowing out the back of the head, there was a red mist, which was blood. And you knew that you hit the mark. All teams wanted that perfect moment. Some didnt get it, working their whole military careers to get it. Never to see it, but then you had your lucky ones. That got to see that perfect moment. Having heard that it was a great moment. Hoping that her and her team mate would get to see that. But they would have to get through this school first. As he came to the end, telling them the homework they would have to do. They would have to get passed whatever it was. Because if they didnt they would fail, there was no way in hell they would fail because of that. Flickering her eyes to Jason, he had a chip on his shoulder. She would have to find away to buff that off his shoulder. Because it would get under skin quick. Standing up from her chair, narrowing her eyes at him, as she looked up at him. Well we kind of have to. If we want to pass. And for one I do want to pass this course. Brushing past him. Making her way to the door, her hand on the handle of the door. Looking back at him over her shoulder, sighing to herself. She needed to work on dealing with him better. If she didnt he would buck up about everything they had to do. Turning back and walking back over to him. Standing in front of him, Listen I know we dont like each other. I think it is best we both try to be kind to one another. Looking back to the door, Come on lets go and get to know each other. Trying to offer a olive branch to him. Maybe that is what it took for him to see her as his team-mate. Not someone that was above him in rank, and that very well could put him in his place. She had deal with guys like him in the past. And they were all different in how they reacted to someone that was above them. We can find some place on base if you like, or we could head off base for a little bit. Shrugging, as she turns for the door once again. Making her way back over to it. Stepping outside, the sun beating down. Taking a big deep breath, being outside always helped her in so many ways. Though she would rather be out doing something then getting to know someone. But this was her mission, code name, Jason. She wouldnt fail this mission. This had to work, she had to make her family proud of her. To stand among her family, holding her head high. As being a scout and being good at what she is trained and born to do. She could play nice if that is what it takes to get them to the top. And they would raise above all this shit. They would be what the other needs. Jason might be able to get her not to be so hard on herself about things. But that is something that most couldnt do. Her dad had tried for years to get her to go easier on herself. That just made her want to work harder, push herself even harder. And it paid off in the end. Standing amoung the few that actually got into this course. That should have been enough for her. But it wasnt, she needed more. Though her dad worried that it would drive her into early grave. Eden wasnt one to run into something without some kind of plan to handle it. That wasnt about to change in her. And when she went to war. She would make sure that all under her came home to their families, safe. Maybe not untouched, because no one comes back from war untouched. There is always some kind of mark that is left upon that person, their very soul. And one day she would be marked just as all the others are. She would always have her partners back no matter what, even if she didnt like him. They were now in this together. And they would be together until either one of them stepped away, or got out. That was the way of it now. She just hoped that she didnt fail him in some way. There maybe a guard up up around her, most didnt see her for who she was. She didnt take time to get to know others. To busy with what she wanted out of her career in the Marines. And if they saw her softer side, they wouldnt be able to follow her. She had to be strong, there was no other way to be. Jason may not be able to ever see that part of her, because he might think her weak as well. But would they ever be able to become close, if she didnt show him that. Shaking her head, pushing the thoughts down. There was nothing that she could do about it right now. She would have to see where all this went with them. Be it good or bad, they would either come out on the other side stronger or break apart before they even had a chance to bound.
