[color=FFB6C1]”Alright Britta.”[/color] Diana said with a slight smile on her face. It was obvious that Jean and Reyna dancing was a bit intoxicating compared to the utter sadness in her heart about her entire family. She couldn’t help but smile and giggle because of watching the two of them dance it was definitely cute. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I think that’s the first time I seen him actually genuinely smile in awhile.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She was definitely a bit better from seeing that spectacle. It took her a bit until she heard Michael speak up and she smiles gently even though there’s still tears going down her cheek because she’s slightly better. [color=FFB6C1]”I will Michael… in terms of keeping my hopes high because it would be nice to have a family that’s unified than broken because of one single person’s evil. I am hopeful she will listen too, she’s the smartest of my siblings.”[/color] Diana said, with a gentle smile on her face. It was obvious she hoped she will be able to talk to her elder sister Astra. However, underlying in her heart there will be a definite hole in her heart because of everything that happened to her at home in Castleton. This peaceful night was a definite good thing for her so she can figure out her emotions. Her family the Vastergoths are definitely a hardheaded bunch of people and it takes them sometimes to figure out themselves before they feel complete. The dancing stopped between Jean and Reyna and she couldn’t help but clap because of it. It was definitely beautiful in how they both danced, it definitely showed they were pretty good at dancing. The song in question was definitely interesting to her ears, which she still hadn’t really figured out what it means. She saw Jean get up and talk about what they need to do tomorrow about an operation to blow up tunnels. The additionally, of no alcohol is definitely a good thing, which has a happy tone to it. [color=FFB6C1]”Yeah I will definitely sleep in my uniform since its better than the alternative right now...”[/color] Diana said, with her slightly blushing at what she hinted at. It would probably go over Jean’s head unless he heard her and Victoria have sex, it was mostly at the fact she was hinting she was completely naked. This made her blush a bit because it was a peaceful night. She was approached by Isaac, which taught her how to play cards. However, she did dance a bit with Reyna before going to bed since she was utterly exhausted because of the fact she didn’t get much sleep. Diana went straight to her room, without going into any other rooms and went to bed so she could wake up the next morning preparing for the operation of the tunnels or any other obstacles. In there way, however, she hoped nothing bad would happen. To ruin the neutrality of this inn since it was outright amazing for her since she definitely did push through some of her family issues. Her mind was definitely peaceful when she slept. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I hope we can start tomorrow anew… This war is utterly terrifying… I hope nothing really bad happens...”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. In the back of her mind she continued to wonder about the mask that was given to her from the Federation. After that she fell asleep. [hr] [center][b][color=FFB6C1]Diana’s Brutal Reality – Horror – Amone City’s Walls (September 12th)[/color][/b][/center] [hr] Diana woke up slowly from her bed, which the morning sun was hitting her eyes that made her sigh a bit to everything that happened from yesterday. She followed what Jean had said from yesterday to the letter since she wouldn’t want to have a repeat from yesterday morning. It was a bit embarrassing to her, at least her hangover was completely gone now. That made her much happier compared to how she was yesterday, just utterly crying and couldn’t help herself to break down a bit. All her squadmates yesterday definitely helped her mood at least. Especially Reyna, since she had a dance with her and was highly embarrassed from the dance. It was mostly because she stared at Reyna, while dancing with her. However, after that dance she was taught how to play cards by Isaac that was really sweet of him. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Everyone is kind to me… I will repay that kindness with being a proper soldier. I hope...”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, with a smile. She was getting her kit together, which was a bit of a pain. It took a bit to clean her rifle mostly because of the fact she learned it from Daniel. However, something in the air happened that made her a bit worried and terrified, which is the noise of distant artillery being fired. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Uhh… what? Why is that happening… Whom is firing the artillery at this hour?”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She couldn’t help but feel a sickening feeling down in her stomach, the people who are firing the artillery is no other than the Federation. It was obvious, why they would be launching an artillery strike so the stalemate between the Federation & Imperials would finally end. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Umm, that’s not good why would the Federation firing artillery? I hope it doesn’t come this way.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She felt like all the hope in the world couldn’t change what will happen today, like all roads lead to destruction. Diana couldn’t help but shake a bit in fear at what was happening. However, the hope in her heart was shattered by with what she heard and she was close to the window since she was looking outside. She instinctively ducked mostly because of the fact she heard someone downstairs yell it, which sounded like Isaac. The artillery shell landed outside of the inn, shattering all the windows of the inn, which was a good thing she ducked or she’ll get glass in her eyes. [color=FFB6C1]”God damn it...”[/color] Diana said a bit out loud. It was said out of the frustration of everything happening all at once. She lifted her head and saw Jean and one of the Inn’s Employees outside, which was terrifying what she saw. A strange yellowish fog coming out of a shell and completely enveloping the girl that works at the inn. That outright made her utterly terrified at whatever this stuff is, however, she heard coming up the stairs Victoria yelling to put on the Masks. The sinking feeling that is the reason why they have the masks, she was always wondering why they had them. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Seriously this is what the mask is for? To protect us from whatever that stuff is?”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, her heart sank a bit. She put on her mask as quickly as possible, however, it was definitely highly claustrophobic to her but its the only thing that is keeping her from dying to whatever that stuff is. The only thing that gave her relief was hopefully every single person in her squad was wearing the mask because that shit is utterly terrifying since she saw how quickly it killed that civilian. She couldn’t help but wonder what was the plan right now because she was kinda panicking at this point. The fear of being killed by her nation was definitely shocking, however, something else was going through her mind. She was about to walk out of her room in the inn, until she heard. [h3]Bang![/h3] She was shocked when she heard that noise, which probably meant there were still Imperials in the Inn Room. In terms of everything, this was definitely a shocking experience, however, when she opened her door, she heard and saw Britta talking to Michael and Lucia. She had a small sigh of relief that no one in her squad was killed, however, she heard what Britta had said and followed her Britta’s instructions. It would be better to stick with the group now instead of trying to find everyone else of her squad because she was definitely terrified with what is going on right now. However, she heard Jean’s voice order them to retreat as quickly as possible since the peace that they held for two days was shattered. It was an official shooting war again in Amone. She wondered how many civilians were killed by this attack by the Federation, which stabbed neutrality in the back. This definitely caused her to feel a bit despairingly on the Federation for the actions they did. She followed everyone to make sure she wouldn’t be left behind. Because this was utterly terrifying civilians dying left and right because of this so called gas. Diana didn’t enjoy wearing this mask but its the only thing keeping her alive she thinks from the horrible weapon that was put on display. Her body language definitely showed she was definitely shocked at these events. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I guess this is why my mother Rebecca outright… disliked the Federation or there’s other reasons for their not so patriotic behavior towards that entity.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, with a definite frown on her face. It was obvious that she was definitely rethinking her stance on the Federation and how patriotic she has been over the younger years of her life. This one single event is going to affect her throughout the rest of her life the Battle of Amone will live in infamy in her heart by what the Federation done. [color=FFB6C1]”Let’s hurry like Jean said and ordered more or less for us to retreat. Because I don’t want to be here as much as everyone else. It’s… awful...”[/color] Diana said, trying to keep herself together. It would definitely be bad to break down here right now even though she almost had already before the retreat order.
