Letting you know [Auraka and Audrey]

I sighed, knowing I ought to let Auraka know that my father was no threat where he was at the moment. Jason had agreed to that at least. Audrey as well would want to know that I was out fighting as well. So while I had a chance, I found the notebook I had always had when I was in the other army as well, that I had used to write such letters.

Greetings Auraka and Gem,
I thought I ought to write to you both as I know that Gem will be worried about me at the moment, seeing as she knows where I am now. At the moment I am safe, but I have been injured. The good thing is, I shall recover though, as I have had this sort of injury before, back in my other fighting past.
Auraka, you need not worry about my father attacking the borders of your homeland. He is here. He found out that I was being sent here, I know not how. It seems he is drawn to where I am like a bee is to the pollen in flowers for their honey.
I will let you know if anything else happens,
Naina Collins

Tearing out the page, I slipped it into an envelope and wrote their address on the front of it. No doubt Gem would reply to that, and both of them were aware of what I mean by my fighting past. Then I opened the little notebook again and started to write to Audrey. I knew she was unaware that I was not back home where it was safe.

Hey Audrey,
Don't know if you have tried writing to me at all in last week. If you have, I'm sorry but I have not been home to read it. I got deployed to where there is a lot of fighting going on. It's not going as well as anyone would have hoped, and a threat from my father makes things all the harder for everyone here. Some time soon though, that threat will end, with either his death, or my own. I do not plan on being the one to die though, you know how accurate I am with it comes to using weapons.
To give you an idea how good my father is, you know how people called me the Ruthless Lioness? Well he would be the Rulthless Lion. We are too evenly matched and I know he is aware of that. I am slightly faster though. That will be a fight that will really test me. I do not know what will happen if we really come face to face on the battlefield. If I know one thing though, he will not be good against me.
I have already been injured once, but it will not be a serious injury for me. I'll be fighting again before you know it. It is an injury I have had before, and I will recover again within the next few days.
Do not worry about me too much, keep studying so you can get back home sooner. I miss talking to you face to face.
Your freind,
Naina.

Auraka tapped his chin thoughtfully, reading the letter with a small sigh of relief.
Pressing the button on the radio, he ordered the general to come and speak to him. Waiting for him to come, he rang Gem and told her that she was injured but okay, knowing that his wife had been worried about her friend.
The General entered without knocking, normal for him.
"Yes Auraka?" he asked, raising a bushy eyebrow.
"We need more troops."


Audrey saw the letter and jumped at it, ripping it open with her teeth and all with a girlie giggle.
She was okay, that had been the thing that worried her most. But this thing about her father, she sighed and tightened her dark ponytail.
Come home soon, she thought quietly, missing her only friend.
