Naina Collins When I found out that Auraka wanted me I was headed there anyways. I knew that there were things he had to know. I was being watched and that was something I did not like.
I smiled though as I got to the office and opened the door. Didn't take me long to move over to the desk.
"General Auraka sent for me?"

"Oh yes, Naina Collins," the young lady said, standing and leading the girl stifly towards the room. She had been this way since the General had gotten married. "General Auraka, Naina Collins here to see you," she said and pushed the door opened, nodding for her to enter.
Auraka stood, smiling in a fatherly fashion as she entered, gesturing to the seat before him. "Sit Naina," he said sitting himself with a quiet sigh "I have a few things I need to talk to you about."

Naina Collins I nodded and sat down. "Yes well there is something I ought to tell you about as well. Though Jason was the one who told me to tell you, else I would not have thought to bother you about it."
I wondered why he had called me here though. The last time he had had me in here, I'd fallen for some idiot's prank and nearly shot my own foot.
Not a pleasent memory.

He nodded slightly, able to guess at least a small meaning behind what she said. "I understand, but let me speak to you of this first then you may talk to your hearts content," he said with a nod, pulling some papers closer to read once more. "Jason lost his second in comand, and well he needs someone," he sighed rubbing his frowning forehead. "I only have two people free who are good enough for such a rank," he looked at her "both you and Audrey Chase. But, as you know Audrey is studying half a world away and that leaves you." "But, you are not of a high enough rank, so from now you are now a Lieutenant and shall be Jason's second in command...you'll leave tomorrow first thing," he said and rested back in his chair. "Now, what is this problem of yours?" he asked

Naina Collins My eyes widened as I listened to him. This was something of a surprise for me at the moment. Who would have thought i would end up going out there?
"When do I have to go?"
I sighed and then thought about the other issue. "I checked my mail this morning and got a very bothersome letter from my father."
I sighed, and put a piece of paper on the desk. "This one's in my own hand, but its translated from the letter than my father sent. he was not overly nice about finding out that I am in here."

He waved his hand, reading only the orignal letter other then the translated one. "You forget Naina," he grinned looking up for a small moment "that I also learnt this tounge and Gem has helped improved it even more." He read the letter quickly, nodded and rested his head in his hands for a short moment. "Well, you'll be safe for a while at least with Jason...though I doubt he'll be happy I'm sending you, I haven't told him yet you see..." he paused "but..do you have any photos? Just so I can keep an eye out for such a man, for if he is threatening my men and woman as such he will have to pay for it."

Naina Collins "I had the feeling you would say that. So I brought one anyways." I smiled and passed him a small photo of my father. "Don't under estimate him. He has been in this sort of thing for over 40 years now. Even Gem's father is nothing in comparison to him."
I sighed thinking about this. "Sometimes I forget about the fact Gem would have taught you."
Then I said one more thing. "I think you may be right about Jason not liking this at all."

Auraka studied the photo for a moment before placing it back onto his desk. "Thank you," he said and nodded "she asks about you from time to time...come over one time when you return to meet the kids."
He looked at her in silence for a moment and nodded slowly. "So the rumors are true?" he asked "you to are dating?"

Naina Collins I blushed as mucha s I tried not to. That would only make things worse. "Yeah we kind of are..."
I sighed looking at the grounds a little embararrassed by the question. "And I will. We've got plenty of time to catch up on, Gem and I."
At least I did not try and hide things any more. "I had a feeling people knew after he left. Was not exactly hidden that day."

He watched with amusement as the colour raced though her cheeks. "Good for you, and him," he said "never seen him with a girl Naina, good and respectful person mind that you take care of him." He smiled and nodded to the door, giving her to go ahead to leave. "Flight field, 0600," he said "don't be late."

Naina Collins
"I'll be there and on time. You can count on that, sir." I smiled, glad my cheeks were not hot any more. That had been very embarrassing. "You know i will take care of him." I never failed in what ever job I was given. And I did not plan to now.
Not a chance of that this time. "I did not want him to go either!"
Without Audrey here, there was no chance that I would be late over there this time. I had no family to warn. I was worried about what my father would dare to do.

He nodded to the door once more. "I know that girl," he murmered with a sigh.
Jason searched the bags once more, unable to find the letter he had been waiting days for. "Sorry Jason, no letters for you," said the lad and Jason sighed. "You sure Hamish?" he asked "completely sure?" He nodded his head. "Thank you, if anything comes please bring it right away," he said and got a nod in return. Had anything happened to her? What had happened? Had her father taken her? Was everyone okay? Had she told Auraka? He shook his head, trying to stop the flood of questions.

LATE THE NEXT DAY I sighed as I looked at the approaching ground with a wary eye. Things certainly looked bad from up here, that much I could tell. This was going to be no easy time for me, but I would be able to handle this only too easily.
Fighting was something that I was used to. It had been many years since I had first picked up a weapon for the first time. Now though as I got out of the plane on the battlefield, I sighed. Yes this felt like the older days. Days when I was fighting and killing.
This time though, blood would be shed by my own hands, instead of over the radio.

He sat at his makeshift desk, pushing the piles of paper away and sighed. He couldn't concentrate, not knowing she was okay. Nothing made sense without her. He stood, deciding to go search for his new 2nd in command, knowing they should already be here. He rose from his chair, leaving the large tent and froze. "Naina," he whispered, noting the new rank on her shoulder. "Lieutenant Naina," he called, pausing before her, trying to control his rolling emotions.

Naina Collins "Lieutenant General Jason." I did not smile, else that would have given things away. "I was told by General Auraka that you lost your second in command. Therefore he sent me."
I did not know all that much about how things really were out here but that I would figure out soon enough. This was not the easiest of things for me to do. Having to work under him would not be easy.
I was glad though to see he was indeed not hurt in the slightest.
