Bootcamp.
"Remember no one left behind," The sarge yelled.
She sprinted off as the gun screeched in the air like a banshee. Her heels dug in the wet soil leaving small trenches as rain drenched her hair. She looked back with quick turn and noticed Terror and Silver were close behind. "Fuck.." she growled as she realized the others where gaining on her too. Blade looked ahead to the ropes across a large trench.

Jump!
Her hands burned from the rope causing friction on her wet palms. Clenching her teeth she made a rough landing leaving her in the dust of the eight. Phoebe somehow gained the lead. "Hell no!" Blade jumped up and sprinted forward, her body felt like it was on fire, she came to the wall as the others already got a start on it.
Fifty feet it stood tall. She grasped on the rope and climbed quickly as the others were reaching the top. Soon enough she was there her hands bleeding, she jumped over the side and made her decent. Looking down she watched Fin drop down a full 20 feet, landing perfectly. Going towards the tires. Silver was close behind then Mercy, Aisling, Twan, Terror, Phoebe, and Silver all neck and neck. But where's SnowWhite? She dropped down as she reached the bottom and quickly scanned the area.
There Korran was, laying face down in the dirt, lifeless. The eight around her. Blade couldn't make out the voices but their words.
"We can't leave her!"
"No one left behind REMEMBER?"
"Fine! Help her up!"
"Hurry!"
"Is she okay!?"
Blade shook her head and ran passed them, no time, have to finish. Twan watched Blade run by and shook his head,"Wow.. just leave a teammate." The others watched Blade as she maneuvered through the tires and started for the barbwire.
"What's up with her!" Mercy growled.
"I don't know.. Hurry just help up Korran," Fin said.
She did feel bad, leaving like that, leaving a downed teammate. Even if it was bootcamp. She stopped right at finish. Thoughts lingered. "The fuck? Get it together, they're just pansies! You're better just go forward!"
"No!" She yelled and turned and ran back for the group.
"Hand her over!" Blade sputtered out as rain continued pouring.
"Why?" Phoebe growled.
"Just hand her the fuck over!"
"Fine!"
Phoebe pushed Korran her way. Blade picked her up and placed her on her back and sprinted forward. Korran bouncing along.
"What the hell, Blade? Why are you helping! This is going to fucking ruin your position! Idiot."
The others quickly met up with her but didn't pass her. She didn't smile.. she didn't need friends. She didn't need anyone. But she was enjoying the fact they weren't looking at her in disgust anymore.
They crossed the finish line. The Sarge dismissed them to their housing areas. Korran was put in Blade's bunk, breathing. Turns out she collapsed from exhaustion.
The group ate and headed for their bunks. "Where's our bunks!" Fin asked. Blade came in and motioned for them ot follow. They entered the room where the main beds were.
"They were moved in here.. so," Blade tried so hard not to smile,"get some rest."
She moved Korran to her bunk and hopped into hers.
They found there places, Aisling above Fin next to Korran and Mercy, Twan below Terror next to Blade who had Phoebe below her, and SIlver on a top bunk next to Aisling.
The time went by: 1 a.m. 2 a.m. still no sleep.
She let out a deep sigh. "Still awake," A voice made her jump.
"What!" She looked over at Terror.
"Blade? Right?"
"Yeah.. never caught your name,"
"Terror.."
"Wow."
"Shouldn't you be asleep."
"I can't.."
"Why.."
"I gave in today."
"Into what?"
"Being nice.."
"So?"
"I can't fucking be nice! Weak people are nice."
"Blade, there's a difference between nice and help."
"Like?"
"Nice is when you like.. complement people or brighten up their day, help is when someone is need and assist them.
"Whatever! Why am I even fucking telling you this?"
"Because you need someone."
"I need no one!"
Blade turned and stared at the old olive moldy wall.
"Leave no one behind.."
"Remember no one left behind," The sarge yelled.

Hair:
Where i was originally born, i was royalty. Chosen immediately because my hair was white. In my tribe white hair was a rarity. And that child would become the queen or king at the earliest time possible. I became queen at the age of eight. I was wiser than i sounded. I was terrifying, yet generous. I helped and protected when ever necessary. But When my indecent occurred, and i was banished i left. And i was replaced by a new queen. A seven year old girl with short white hair. At that time i had long white hair.
It was to grow out for however long i was ruling. Now i had to cut. It was custom. Now i cut and left my hair grow out at what ever pace i choose. But as i look at my hair and see it flow, the pain flows too. The past i had. I loved it so. But it was part of my cursed color of hair that i became who i am. but then without it now...who would i be? Would i be here? Would i have the friends i do now?
