I nodded, knowing when not to tease him too much. I could tell though that he did not mind me teasing him. That was something he at least could tolerate. Though I doubted from anyone else.
I knew that was one of the things i liked about him. I did not really care that we were still hiding this from everyone.
Then i headed in the same direction as he did. I knew my place when were out among the tents. "I have the feeling he will attack again soon. He won't be pleased to find me gone from that tent."

He sat behind his desk, rubbing his dark eyes, nodding slightly. "I know," he muttered, looking up at her with a small smile. "Your in command of them, I need you to make sure they don't....try anything," he sighed "my men need to be given reasons to trust them, try and find someway."
He looked at her, feeling a sudden need to be closer to her. He went to her, pulling her into a warm hug. "I am glad you are okay," he whispered

Niana Collins I smiled though as he spoke. "Don't worry about them making any mistakes. The more experinced twenty trust me, as i was their leader a while ago. The other newer ten of them trust Achille's judgement of me."
This would be only too easy for me at the moment. I knew what I was doing when it came to all of them.
"I'll keep them in line only too easily."

He nodded slightly, still hugging her tightly. "Good," he whispered, kissing the top of her head. "It seems, we have one more battle to fight," he said quietly "and then back home." He pulled away slightly, nodding towards the tent opening. "Go help them find a place to stay, and I'll ring Auraka."

I smiled up at him. "I should think so. This time though, I'm not getting hurt again. Though I wonder how everyone is going to react when I end up face to face with my father again. Everyone know's who I am, on both sides." I chuckled. That would only end with one of our deaths. Mine... or his... I planned on him being the one who died, not me. "Looks like the lions will fight once more." I sighed and headed out of the tent. There was not much we would have to do at the moment. I knew that. We just had to wait.

He stood for a moment more, brushing the his longing hair form his eyes and watched the spot she had just stood before spinnig and sitting back at the desk. You don't have time, he scolded himself.
He picked up the base phone, something that was rarely used and only by high ranking officers. "Auraka?" he asked making sure he had the right person. It was hard to tell though the static. "Jason," the reply came warmly "it is good to hear form you, is all well?" He sighed, relaying the days events. "So we know have another 30 men, barely speak any english if at all...I put Naina in charge of them, and she's passing my orders on." There was a silence and Auraka considered this. "You had them follow you? All the men...even the ones that weren't yours?" he asked and Jason said that he had.
Auraka was suprised. Rarely was there such a man people would follow without questions, act without thinking of the reaction at a single man's words. It made Jason powerful, and it was the same thing that had gotten Auraka where he was. "Jason," he said after a pause "you will become a general for this."
Jason blinked, suprised at these words. "What??" "Your leading skills are some of the best we have, Morris and I have been thinking about it anyways...but now...well you'll recieve your badges when you return." Jason lept to his feet, lost for words. "T-Thank you," he stuttered finally and put down the phone, deciding to go look for Naina.

I sighed as I helped a few of the others with a few language problems. It seemed that a lot more of the other Austrailian's trusted me than I had been aware of. There were a few arguements to sort out as well, from people who did not really trust my old companions. I did not really care that much about having to argue with my own old freinds sometimes that was something that was going to have to happen. Though it was not that easy to come between two different groups of people that I knew so well, I would manage.
I smiled though as I went about to the different areas. At one point, Achille asked for some help with someone who was not listening to him when it came to helping one of his men, and I had to get into that area quick enough. The guy certainly listened when I got involved.
I sighed though, all this talking was tiring me. Somehow though I ended up back near Jason's tent at the end and ducked into my own, getting my water bottle and drinking a few mouthfuls.

He stood outside his tent, eyes running over the running forms, a look of shock stil plastered to his handsome features. He spotted her, quickly hurrying to stand beside her but didn't touch her. "I'm a general," he whispered into her ear from behind and grinned broadly. "General Jason Lewis," he said and burst out laughing. Him? A general? Auraka couldn't be telling the truth.
He looked around again, people yelling and talking everywhere. "Everything okay?"

"Just a few little communication barriers. I've been all over this place trying to help when needed. Some people just don't want to trust the others like me. I guess that is something I can help with, seeing as I have been in that position before, the one not being trusted. Other than that, all good."
I paused, then in a lower voice I replied, "Nice work." He'd know what I meant by that one. I was only commenting on his new rank after all. He really was doing a good job out here.

He smiled, still laughing quietly as he replyed Auraka's words in his mind. "Okay, well I'll help as well," he said knowing some italian and they had to get used to his command, for he was now their general. He gave her hand a subtle squease before wandering off to help others.

I watched him go, though I knew that this peace and quit would only last a few more seconds. Sure enough, just when he'd left my range of sight, I spotted more people coming in our direction. I glared in that direction, easily recognising them as other Italian fighters. This lot though was moving in a more offensive way. "Well crap," I muttered. There went my sleep. Oh well, I was more than used to these things. I sighed and ducked into my tent, easily finding my weapon. As I got out of my tent once more, I could see they were getting a lot closer and there were over two hundred coming.

He was so atuned to her voice now, that he heard her curse. Without a word, he span and noted the approaching group. "Weapons!" he yelled and he heard Archille repeating the order. Both men and woman dashed to ready themselves, three attacks in a single day was rare. In fact, he guessed, this was a first. "Fire!" he yelled, moving to take himself to the front line and shot with dangerous perfection.

That other side to me seemed to snarl as I turned and aimed at the same time as I head Jason's voice shouting commands. This was not the first time I had seen my old freinds attack three times in one day.
"He really wants me dead," I muttered. That was the only reason the Italian's attacked three times in one day. When they wanted someone dead. Only then would they stop the attacks. Though I noticed that Jason was as good a shot as me, my bullets left my gun quicker.
Was not long before we were fighting agian in a big crowd. he knew though that I would only be searching for one person. The one who wanted me dead. My ridiculous excuse for a father.
Did not take me long to spot him. As soon as I came face to face with the man, his men seemed to stop, watching the pair of us.
"Don't try and run this time, General," I hissed, my eyes locked onto his. "Time this war was ended I should think!" There was a newer sound to my voice. For the first time, there was a commanding sound to my voice, one that it seemed it was obviously hard not to obey.

As he shot, he searched the crowd for her face. There was a sudden silence, something that bid no good in the middle of the battle field. He, himself, froze as he saw it. Naina faced her father. He forced himself not to shot the man, knowing that Naina would kill him if he tried. He smiled at the irony.

I knew that this was not the best time for silence to fall, at least it meant no one else was fighting more that everyone was watching the two of us. Something I was aware of but did not care about at all.
My father seemed to laugh, which angered me. "You really think you can best me?"
"I dont think so. I believe so!" I corrected him. Well that commanding voice that seemed to come from me was something none of the Australian's had heard from me.
I glared at him.
My fathers retort was to shoot once at me. I dodged the bullet easily enough, knowing the others would as well. I just did not seem to be there when it left his weapon.
Then one shot from my own, too fast for him to dodge. I aimed to do one thing, which I did. It killed him upon impact.
