Story Telling Part one
Libba make her way up the stair knowing that Raelle most probably had head to the infirmary to talk with Lt: Grey and then to her room. After what she was told, she really didn’t want to talk to anyone. She only come to terms with what Scylla had told her. She didn’t what her time with Scylla to be bad. So, she kept to herself.
That when Toot and Grey come up behind her as she was heading up.
There both understood with a quick look that Libba was going through something and needed the safety of their room to discuss whatever was going through her head. It was a short time before, there bedroom door was in front of them. Grey quickly moved past them and opened the door, for Toot and Libba.
Libba didn’t sit she started pacing around. Toot and jump onto Libba bed that was against the left wall. The layout as Collar room. Grey walked over after closing the door. to Toot and sat down beside her.
“we wait right” Toot said.
After, sometime Toot jump up from her sit place both hands on Libba shoulders stopping her in her pacing.
“Willa alive.”
“like Raelle mother.”
“yep, that the one. And there more”.
That when Grey stood up and joined them, very concern know.
“a good question is, should we tell Raelle. We all know is smart which may or may not be an understatement. But her mother anniversary was around the corner, and she really didn’t take that well. bleeding knuckles and all.”
“I know, don’t forget she was also told that Scylla was Died.” Her eyes watered remembering her face, it only been a week “But I get you point Pin.”
“what are we going to do,” Toot said.
“I don’t know, I need a day to think. Tomorrow night we talk with Abigail and Tally see how she is holding up. And go from here”.
“ok, but you going to tell. Right know that you know. We are not blinded by anything.”
With that Libba moved over to her bed.
“Scylla told me that it seems like not only she her mother alive but is apart of the spree. and maybe the person who wants her.”
“what her.”
“you know is Scylla was spree I’m not sure if you know this. But she left over a year ago and only rejoined when she found out that someone was looking for Raelle. More importantly to experiment on. Or that was the rumour she heard.”
Grey moved over and sat beside her, a little shock with that information.
“so, her mother, what to do more to her”.
There looked at Toot. “What did you say” Libba said.
“I have a theory and yes it could sound bad. But you need to hear me out.”
Grey and Libba gave each other a look of everything on the table right. There turned to her and gestured for her to speak. But Toot just stood there. with a very small smile Grey said, “you can tell us.”
With a sigh, “Good. Good”
She been to pace around the room her hand knitted together in front of her, she looked like she was thinking of her words to use or many something else.
“so” Toot started with. “form the time I have know Raelle she had mention a few things. Know with this add information things are making a lot more sense.”
She looks at her friends asking if she could or should continue. Both of them understood that look. The numerous of time she had talked to them. There look at each with a silent question, which both seen to in to know Toot theory was. There both know that Toot had never been wrong with her theories before.
“go ahead, Margo.”
With a quick nob of her head, she grins at them. She loves solving a puzzle and this was a big puzzle.
“so, the fact we know so far.
• Raelle was a Detective within the Cession.
• She was taken a week before her 15th birthday.
• Willa her mother, fake her death.
• Raelle after recovery hunted down all Camarilla.
• She joins the Army, word spread she alive.
• Spree know what Raelle,
For Something. What is still a puzzle.”
She paused a little sad with this fact. Understand the pause, Grey spoke up. “don’t worry, tell us what you know at we maybe about to come up with a theory of why there what her”.
This seem to kick Toot out of her head and back to what she was think/ saying to them.
“So, my idea is that Willa had something to do with, all of what Raelle went though. From being taken to the Spree wanting her.”
She raised her hand to stop them for speaking. There both know she was in the middle and stop, holding their question for later.
“if you think about it, Raelle was stubbing onto the Camarilla plans, to kill witches. She was saving said Witches around the Cession. There saw her as a threat to their operation and should be taken out. That when Willa come in, so I have done some digging on her. Since meeting Raelle. I do that with every person I meet. I just like to know who; each person family is.” She looked at their shock faces.
“is that wrong”.
“it is, so next time you might just ask us question or ask if you can dive into our family history. Ok”
“noted”.
She paced again a little, getting excited again.
“Willa has tides with the Camarilla and Spree, for a lot longer than anyone would think. I think she is the head of both. Not Nicta or that Doctor Raelle mentioned. It is Willa. When Raelle was taken, she didn’t help the search at all and after a week. Disappeared. According to record, her family ones, she said she was deployed. I check she wasn’t. I did find something thing. But I am not allowed to mention. Which with that information Means around the time Raelle was tortured. Willa was with the Camarilla do her research on. You guessed it, Distortion within the body.”
She looked at them with a done look.
“So, you think Raelle mother take her own daughter and experiment on her.”.
“yes, her research is everything to her. and it not just Distortion within the body but to remove, Witch traits.” Before Toot could continue Grey spoke up.
“there are a few holes, one why would she join the army if she was a part of both Camarilla and Spree. Two why her daughter.”
“to know how we work, under attack. So, she could better plan each attack. Less live loss on her people. And her daughter like I said was become a threat to her operation.”
“it explains some of it”.
There carried on talk for another hour before Libba stand up stretches out. Informing them that it was super late that there all should head to sleep. Grey agreed and quickly got ready alone side Libba. Only Toot didn’t she become to pace. Both of them know if there didn’t give her something to investigate, she would pace all night long. This had happened all over the several weeks of Basic Training.
So, when Libba was finished she handed Toot an empty notebook.
“I want you to right it all down. if this is true, we need to them all. What going on, this would help. If it was writing.”
With an excited bounce she takes the notebook, and quickly rushed over to her desk that was under the window. And pulled out her box of pen and pencils and started humming to herself. Both of them smile not bother by her. There both turned of the lamps around the room and climb into there beds. The only light was from Toot bed.

Morning meeting where always boring. What new. What things there are doing to stop the spree. But this time around it was different. It was only a few days after the biggest bombing on America soil. She needs to tell Wade about the number of people that had died, there had figure it out it was 3,145 people.
She walked into the large room; her officer had already gathered inside. Six officers in total and Khalida, as she was leader of her people and even very young was bright for her age. She would have call Collar but decided against it, making that separate as she had a feeling it would be more informative.
Her diddies lined the wall.
“tell me, is there any update of the bombing”.
That when an Officer looks up from the large map that cover the table in between.
“the Fire is out, the Air force has move off. And a team of investigators have to send out. The Navy I am unsure on”.
That when another officer steps up, her uniform a shade darker then the first officer. “there are staying, in Salam town or want reminds. There are overseeing the clean-up of the runaways. There are also making camp close by.”
Alder looks at all of them, “and off the dead.”
General Petra Bellweather spoke up, “that it being taken care of, by the Cession Witches along side a small team I have put together. There are trying to find their families to inform them and to burry them with said families. All witches have been transferred to our Necromancy Facility”.
Alder walked around and sat down; everyone followed her action.
“we might discuss the new threat that we are all facing. Petra, I want you to send a message if you can out. to all sprees. That if their side with us, there will not died for there crimes. The Camarilla have returned. I will be informing the country of this, alongside Madam President.”
“I will get on that right away, Sarah.” And move to leave. Only be stop went Alder spoke again.
“there is a lot more we need to discuss, before you should disport.”
Petra retook her sit.
There continued there talk about the Trim and where there could locate too. Talking about new protocol around basic. To everything day to day working. That how the meeting continues.

Abigail meets up with her team. Bells alongside her. The light of the sun knows, giving the ground an orange glow. There had walked inside the lunchroom. There had gather around the table closed to the large window that looks out to the road that snake thought Fort Salam.
She could tell that Toot, Grey and Libba was acting strange but put that aside enjoying her time with her unit and know new friends. Raelle was sitting next to Libba. Holding each other hand. Abigail could see Libba micro expression that should that something was happening. But she pushed that to the back burner.
“so, this one” Bells said, nudging Abigail a little.
“is doing really well, I think she could so beat you Raelle.”
Raelle looks straight at him, “I might have to see. We have less then a week to go before City drop. So, in the next day or two. Make a match. And we can see just how good, your sister has gotten.”
Everyone looked at her shocked. Tally burst out laughing. “you have been challenging Abi’s” she said.
Everyone burst out laughing. The conversation continued too light-hearted.
The day was going great, there a few lectures the first two was medical. A little boring but not sleep worthy. The next lecture was on military tactics.
Both their units had made up the back row. Raelle in the middle Tally and Abigail on her left and Libba, Toot and Grey to her right. While in the middle of a lecture a tall thin officer, wearing the rank of Sargent. There walked over to the officer in changer and whispered in their ear. With a little nod. Looked out toward the Cadets, trying to find someone, it looks like.
“Raelle Collar, report to Alder office”.
With a sigh, Raelle pushes herself up, straighten her clothes before walking down meeting with the Sargent.
The walk was silent as she walked to Alder office. Once at the door of Alder office the Sargent finally spoke again.
“wait here. Don’t more”.
With that enter the room. she couldn’t hear anything, but she really didn’t care.
Raelle stood outside Alder office she been waiting for some time before she hears someone approaching her from behind. She holds her steady not giving away her nerves. She forced herself to stay calm when Quartermain walked up to her.
“what are you doing Cadet”.
“waiting” she said her tone showing that she wasn’t in the mood to have a conversation with.
“waiting for what Cadet”. Her tone laced with annoyance.
“Quartermain, I am in no mood in having a conversation with you. I understand why you did what you did. I most probably would have don’t the same, with only one difference I would have verified before the long hash torture. You put Scylla though, she might never walk again, or use working. So” Raelle turns to her to that she was face her fully.
“I will co-exit with you. I will follow order to a point, but if Scylla ask for action to take place, then your neckless then I will be done.”
“it that a threat Cadet”.
“keep the way you’re going, I wouldn’t wait.”
The wing open, only Quartermain jump in surprise. Quickly standing to attention. she gave Raelle a quick side eye. Raelle connects with Quartermain for a second Raelle could see pride in her eyes at her. But quickly disappeared as she looks toward the door. Know standing in the doorway. One of the biddies, Margaret.
Both Raelle and Quartermain step aside. Allowing a few officers and Khalida from exiting Alder officer. It looks like there had been inside all morning. All of them just walked past them without acknowledging them.
Alder come to the door with a little smile on seeing Quartermain her smile dropped.
“Raelle come in. Quartermain your dismissed.”
Raelle walked inside and the door shut.
Quartermain stay put, her came up to her collar. She never wanted this to happen. She missed talking with her mother. Or the person how raised her after her family died. She had a few other family members around the USA. Sadden by the state of thing finally left.
