He laughed slightly since he did notice a slight determination in this young girl, which was more than he can say for her mother or Astra at least.[/color] [color=778899]”Fiona, you should know your place by now. You are worthless compared to me, your loved ones are nothing compared to what I have planned…”[/color] [color=silver]Richard said, with an ominous tone in his voice with a definite smirk on his face. He watched Fiona’s reaction carefully he always like seeing the little girl squirm and what not, it was even funner when she was crying for what he did to Anna or Astra. Fiona stared directly at her father with a slight defiant look on her face. However, she shivered a bit terribly at what he said directly towards her. It makes her feel worthless and a bit helpless to try to save her loved ones from this monster. She couldn’t help but look directly down, while sitting down at her chair because of her defensive mechanism was kicking in.[/color] [color=B0E0E6]”...Father… I will free my family from your clutches no matter the cost. I will protect them where you failed… no one should be put through the torments you put us through.”[/color] [color=silver]Fiona said, with a slight fear and temperament in her voice trying to not have any kind of emotion in her voice. Richard laughs loudly in hearing what Fiona wants, however, it was particular easy to know what she wants. The obvious of Fiona’s feelings isn’t lost on him, he is her father even though he shows her no love what so ever. It’s mostly because of his stance on the Darscen Agenda, since his family is 125% against Darscens. The Donsters used to hang them for speaking against them or looking or smelling funny.[/color] [color=778899]”Aww, sweet little Fiona. Try me, I beg of you to try to use your feelings other than Fear against me. I’ll love destroying your hopes and dreams right here. However, I have a feeling you’ll need to get stronger. Challenges is what the Donster Family enjoys. If this was back in the past, If this was much further in the past, I would’ve be allowed to hang you for what you said right here.”[/color] [color=silver]Richard said, with a cruel look on his face. He gets very creative with his mental punishments towards Fiona. However, that thought has crossed his mind a few times ever time Fiona didn’t give him the necessary results of his mental torture. Fiona had a shiver down her spine, it was pretty much a given her father was a genius. He is now the head of a multinational crime family, which lives in Edinburgh but with hyper fanatical Yggdist beliefs. She moved her head up to look directly at her father, it was pretty hard to not to cry with what he said.[/color][color=B0E0E6]”...Father, I will bring it. I know about your family’s past you’ve been telling me all about it… P-Please don’t do anything to my mother while I am away.”[/color] [color=silver]Fiona said, tearing up a bit much its as much as she could handle from her father. She knew the only one way to become stronger and that was join the military. It will help her to get away from her father, that is. Richard had a smirk on his face, when he saw Fiona’s shiver and crying. However, her request was a bit odd, its his house and not Fiona’s to decide the policy. He opens one of his desk draws and puts on the table in front of Fiona, which is a Silverish Gold Ceremonial Knife encased in a beautiful seethe. The beautiful seethe is silverish gold and had a single blue gemstone in it.[/color] [color=778899]”I will give you this Ceremonial Knife as a testament of me accepting your challenge. However, if you [i]ever[/i] return without it, sell it or do anything with it other than what it is used for. To remember that Anna and Astra’s lives are in YOUR HANDS as of now. Oh yeah, one more thing if you don’t take it… I will be allowed to do whatever I want to Anna, right this second.”[/color] [color=silver]Richard said, giving a definite warning to Fiona. It was to tell Fiona one specific thing her life will be an even worse living hell than it was already if she doesn’t return this knife. Fiona’s eyes went wide when she saw that beautiful Ceremonial Knife, which Richard usually opens letters with, however it can be used for many other things. However, her whole body starts shaking when she heard that specific nightmarish scenario, he was definitely showing off his genius and thinking 8 steps ahead of her. She eyed the knife for a bit and started crying.[/color] [color=B0E0E6]”F-Father… an Ultimatum… already? Y-You bastard… but I will do what you ask… I will take this knife if even if it kills me.”[/color] [color=silver]Fiona said, truthfully for once in her life, she outright hates her father for everything he has done to Anna, Astra and her. But this is too much for her to handle. She shut down basically, but took the knife gently and walked really fast out of his study. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, however, all she could hear was Richard laughing his ass off at her expense.[/color][/hider] [hr] In terms of everything, she didn’t get much sleep mostly because of her constant flashback to that day with her father and the rigorous training of becoming a Ranger. If it wasn’t for certain people within Echo Black, she might have given up before she got that far. Her nerves was definitely still a bit shaking if she was forced to fire, which she would definitely miss. [color=B0E0E6][i]”I hope Anna is alright...”[/i][/color] Fiona thought to herself, with a slight look on her face. However, what she was going to additionally think about was stopped when she heard a bit of a warning bell in her head but it was a false alarm. Mostly because of the tank driver saying words of like are you serious but a bit more like sod off. She couldn’t help but giggle at what what transpiring, basically a noble being a troll. At least its better than the alternative to say the least, her father Richard Averring Donster. She did remember his name, Michael Daunte because he was their tech guy. And very friendly too, however, she never really interacted with him other than a few his and what not, basically what a tech guy does. Fiona did giggle quietly not to interrupt Micheal and Andrew’s chat. She stayed listening carefully to what they were saying, however, she had no idea about what goes into tanks. It was a bit scary seeing a tank since the tanks she saw were at the Donster Estate and armed with Imperial Grade Weaponry. However, her father’s tanks were definitely much more intimidating than the Federation’s. It took her a bit to realize the entire conversation went to food, it made her a bit hungry herself. She blinked a bit blankly at what Andrew joked towards Micheal. However, then it came up to the question that Michael asked. [color=B0E0E6]”Uhh, I have a knife you can use, Michael.”[/color] Fiona said, trying to get his attention. Fiona pulled out her Ceremonial Knife, with the Donster name inscribed on it. She stared at it with a slight look of dread on her face. However, her father did say you can use it as long as you don’t lose it or sell it. It means borrowing it out to people is alright, she hopes. [color=B0E0E6]”...I hope it comes in handy with that apple, Michael.”[/color] Fiona said, with a smile. However, in the back of her mind and her nerves was a bit shaking but at least her hold on the knife wasn’t and she was holding it properly too. [hr] Diana was basically trying to stay behind the tank, while walking she wanted to take it easy. However, she did keep an eye on all the new recruits, since she is a Sergeant in the Rangers. There’s so many kids that need to be helped into their roles as of usual. She did notice Fiona talking to one of her EW1 buddies, ala, Michael Daunte. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Aww, Fiona, its nice you are talking to the smartest of all my EW1 buddies. He was a bit shocked that Luke and me got married.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, with a smile on her face. She was definitely happy that Fiona was trying to get out of her shell, guess that last meeting with her father definitely stung her. She didn’t really notice anything about what Fiona was carrying, she only cared for the mental health of the kids, and Fiona had it worse of everyone in this squad. Every single day, she worries about her mother Rebecca and her father Gavin. It’s a bit much to deal with mostly because of the fact that Richard Averring Donster has three military vehicles, which are tanks. She hopes that Richard isn’t planning anything devious to harm her mother and father. She opens her pocket and takes out her flask and takes a sip. It is needed to keep her in shape. However, she deeply sighs. She closes the flask and puts the flask back up in her pocket. She’s definitely grateful for Luke’s family taking care of her children, she absolutely adores Emma and Luther. [color=FFB6C1]”Even though a Sergeant shouldn’t be saying this… but how long do we have, Andrew?”[/color] Diana asked with a curious question and a bit loud since she’s one of those people that enjoys talking louder than a machine can be. It shows she hasn’t really lost her flare only gained an elegance of being a mother and what not. She shook her head in a bit of annoyance since she knows it isn’t really proper way a sergeant should act but its all she got. Diana was the only person that basically got a good night sleep compared to most of the people on this journey. The only worry she has is her family that still lives in Castleton and all the Darscens that live there too. Because they are in danger if Richard tries anything funny, and they are all the way in Europa fighting against the Imperials again. If it wasn’t obvious she didn’t much like this but if it wasn’t for her husband or Victoria, she would’ve still be at her home in Hamburg taking care of her children. [color=FFB6C1][i]”The Federation better have a better plan than they did… in EW1. Because God damn. That was an absolute bloody disaster to say the least.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. It was obvious she didn’t much enjoy the Federation for the atrocities they committed in EW1. [center][sub][@Conscripts][/sub][/center]
