《Two Times, Same Story》Chapter 3
Advertisement
(Reed's POV)
Everyone rushed over. Inni felt his forehead. Yuni moved closer and checked his pulse.
Mark stood in horror, it was clear that even though he acted like he knew what to do in situations like these, he couldn't do anything that could help Marco and deep down he wasn't ready to experience a death so early into our trek; even if he hated that person with almost every cell of his body.
Parker and Luke aggressively searched their bags, looking for any possible cures that may have inflicted upon Marco.
A singular tear slid down my cheek. I didn't want to lose him.... I couldn't.....
I didn't know why I fell so in love for him. It was like fate brought us together. If only I had some form of ability out of the water. I could protect him. I want to make to make him happy. I want him to be pleased with me.
He was pulling me so many ways. When he ran away that day I felt like I did something wrong. Was that his way of punishing me? He just ran away. I didn't know what I did. It's like I was his plaything..
But I liked it in a way. After that I yearned for him again. Yearned to feel him again, to touch him, to let him control how we were going to go. Maybe all human love is like that? I saw Yuni hurt Marco.. So was that how I should act? Should I act like a mindless plaything that abides to my master's every whim? Is that what would make him happy.....?
If that's true than I would do anything for Marco.
Anything.
(Marco's POV)
I woke up. Reed was lying next to me. "Oh you woke up. Reed passed out not long after you did. Haha, I knew you were heavy but not that heavy. Damn!" Inni said. "Anyway now that I can stop watching your dumbass self and go do some...... Things..... That could involve a certain Yuni... BYE!" Inni yelled as she slipped out of the tent.

Classic Inni.
I sat up and stroked Reed's crimson red hair. It was soft and fluffy. I giggled and pulled out of his hair. I started to get up and then felt and felt a hand tug on my arm, right below my rolled-up sleeve. I looked down at Reed and saw that he was awake. "Stay..." I smiled and fell back down.
To my surprise Reed was super clingy. "Ah- I'm a little bit uncomfortable, Reed. Could you stop for a second?" He mumbled sorry and stopped clinging to me. "Uhm... Marco?" He asked softly, "Yes?" "Actually nevermind. Haha." He said, awkwardly and moved closer to me. He nuzzled his lips onto my lips and pressed them together.
"Mmh!" "Ouh- sorry...." I wasn't expecting it and tried to push him away a bit. "Ok. That's enough." I sighed and rose from the makeshift bedding. "We need to go help the others." I walked out of the tent.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
