"Man all battle stations! Man all Battle stations! Enemy ships rapidly approaching form Alpha 2x3. All battlestar pilots report to launching tunnel! This is not a practice drill!" You tremble with fear in your mind. You open the door of your room using your remote control device and rush into the passage, grabbing your laser-gun on the way. You run back out adrenaline already pumping through your veins. "I can do this!" you mutter under your breath. "Almost there!" Colours fly past you as you rush through the corridors.
"Kat!" Someone calls your name. "Kat! Over here!" You stop and turn around.
"Chace! Thank goodness you're safe!" You run up to him. His arms go around you protectively. For one moment you wish you could freeze time and stay in his arms forever. But it can't be this way, you fight on the third sector and he on the fifth. "I have to go they're waiting for my orders." He whispers in your ear. You pull him closer; his mouth meets yours but only for a second. The sirens rang out signalling that the headquarters has been breached.
"I'll see you again!" He shouts over his shoulder as he disappears around the corner. Suddenly you are aware of the sirens again and you throw your body forward.
When you reach sector three you realize that it is your sector that has been breached. You fling your body forward the cacophony of gun shots and lasers surrounding you. You take aim, but one of the strange creatures lunge at you, but it falls to the ground with a thump before reaching you. You turn around to thank the person who saved you. Behind you with his gun still raised you see the sandy blonde hair and emerald eyes of Chace.
He lowers his gun to flash a smile. "I told you I would see you again!" he says. He wraps his arms around you. You don't know how long you stood like that. But the next moment his arms went limp and he sank to the ground. You look up to see one of the creatures grinning at you with its gun still poised in its hands.
You look down your heart shattering and you start to cry. Chace is dead.
