Unusual World 68 Refuge Part 7

City Guard Training camp, Delmar City

Inside Building 12 room 132 was Joe Freeman he was wearing his pristine white uniform as he sat in the reclining chair with his fingers crossed staring forward like he hated the world. When he heard a knock on his door Sergeant Freeman snapped to attention and opened the door. He looked at the person in front of him with a ball shriveling glint in his eyes.

The person who opened the door was Trevor Wilch Rank 1 archer he was wearing his military uniform had brown curly hair that hung over a friendly face. Scars that reach from the left side of his face to his forehead was an unforgivable reminder of an accident from their shared past.

" What do you want maggot" Sergeant Freeman Uttered loudly in Trevor's face.

Trevor rubbed his ears after getting shouted at by sergeant Freeman than said: " Chill man you can cut the act I brought some food". He lifted his hand showed the bag of food he bought than brushed past Sergeant Freeman and entered the room.

Sergeant Freeman didn't mind Trevor coming in as he did instead replying "Sorry about that I was so in character I forgot to restrain myself". When Sergeant Freeman spoke it was completely different from how he usually does. If anyone of the recruits he has been terrorizing for the past couple of months heard him sincerely apologize to someone they would never believe it.

Setting the food down on a table in the room than turned to freeman to say "Whatever just take that disguise off I never liked when you dress up like that guy you make him to terrifying to be around".

Sergeant Freeman man agreed to Trevor's request he then removed a ring he had on and turned back into Derek. He put the ring back into his pocket and sat back down where he previously was sitting.

Trevor found a seat as well, gave Derek his food than got a drink "why can't you just train the reserve unit without the ring your not that ugly I'm sure no one is going to force you back under the cellar.

"Very funny your not exactly the best looking one of the group either. I do this because I know the kind of man I have to be when I train those guys and frankly that man is not me. So whatever hate or grievances they have it's not with me, but Sergeant Freeman" Said Derek as he stuffed his face full with a juicy rib.

"You know you don't have to do this at all you've reached rank 2 at only 90 your future is bright anyone one of those fancy Clans would gladly welcome a talent like you. Even if you aren't a mage a rank 2 is still a rank 2 mage or not their not losing anything accepting you Yet you stay in the military.

I know it because you feel you can bring order and all that other stuff, but start thinking about you for once and stop thinking about us. Me and Trent have peaked where our chances of breaking past rank 1 is practically zero. Yet, were fine with it you don't have to protect us so please stop whining like a b.i.t.c.h and take the promotion".

Trent listened to his friend go on and on while not believing a single word she was hearing "Andrea got to you didn't she, I knew this was going to happen".

"Derek listen to me Andrea didn't do anything I'm holding you back ... no sorry, we are holding you back".

"You guys aren't holding me back we have been over this. Just like we said on that day when the building came down we will stick together till the end. It's like I'm the only one who remembers this". Derek waving his rib in the air was getting defensive on the matter and was starting to raise his voice a little.

Trevor rubbed his brow as he was getting a headache from Derek's stubbornness "of course I remember, but what kind of friend would we be if we got in front of your success because of it".

Derek and Trevor went back and forth like that for a while till Trevor stopped it.

Derek tried to reb.u.t.tal but Trevor interrupted him "and before you say anything else me and Trent are planning to leave the city guard, our contracts are going to expire in a few more years. I was going to wait for Trent, but since your just such a relentless a.s.s hole I couldn't wait any longer".

Derek looked at Trevor and then said something he wasn't expecting to hear out of Derek's mouth that day him agreeing. "You two are planning to quit, well that's fine then".

Trevor was about to burst a blood vessel when he heard Derek agree so fast and easily to what he said. "You have refused and fought over stuff like this for years why are you so fine with me and Trent quitting. Me and Trent talked it over for a long time before we decided and you just agreed in a second".Trevor furiously shouted at Derek.

"I have stayed in the same position to protect you guys I couldn't do that if I got promoted because the military would see that as me having favorites and giving you any kind of extra help would be wrong. If I tried anyway it would create a lot of problems leading to all kinds of things I didn't want to go through.

Trevor shook his head while cursing Derek's name inside "so all this was for nothing".

Derek nodded "as long as you two quit I'll take the promotion so yup".

"This whole thing was just a big wasn't of my time you stubborn b.a.s.t.a.r.dy".

Derek shook his head then asked, "where's Trent isn't he coming you guys said you were going to do this together".

"We weren't going to do it so soon today you just broke me plus just look at what time it is you know where he is now".

Derek looked at the clock and knew where his friend was "right its that time of the day again so he is at that restaurant again the stalker".

"Hay that's mean you shouldn't undermine a man's hard work like that he's the king of stalkers get it right next time".

Both Derek and Trent started laughing and joking around about Trent when Trent walked in. Derek and Trevor were not expecting Trent to pop in at that moment but it didn't stop them from laughing at him.

Derek called to Trent "hay Trent did you get to smell her hair this time or did you keep watching her from a distance". Trevor was on the floor with his sides hurting from laughing so hard completely forgetting about the anger he felt because of the ordeal Derek put him through. While Trent didn't need much context to know what they were talking about.

"To h.e.l.l with both of you, now shut up and read this" Trent pulled out a note and showed it to the two.

Trevor with tears in his stares and short of breath ask " what is it".

Trent replied, "A chances".
