Chapter 7: Wings of Metal

Hey guys, I know it has been quite some time since I have posted anything. I have slowly worked on writing but I am REALLY busy with my classes and stuff! I hope you enjoy this one (Note: this will not be posted to Ao3 for a while until I can actively write again)

Chapter 7: Wings of Metal

 Chris started towards the helicopter, Piers right at his side. “Another day another battle, eh Captain?”

“More like another day another war… the world is more senseless than ever, people having to die left and right for no reason at all, it makes me sick to my stomach sometimes.”

Chris smiled and pulled Piers into a hug, running one hand in a small circle on his back. “You just better be careful out here… that world we need left to live for? I need you to be a part of that world alright?”

Smirking, Piers placed a kiss on Chris’s lips. “I wouldn’t have it any other way Captain, it takes more than one to make something complete, and a world without at least two isn’t a world because it can only be seen from the perspective of one person instead of two.”

Chris sighed slowly, his warm breath ghosting its way across Piers’ neck. “You’ve got that right, nothing is more frightening than a light that has to burn on its own.”

Jill’s voice sliced its way into the comm channels. “Okay lovebirds, get ready for the landing, you should be coming in soon and you need to get going as soon as you are able to.”

Chris pressed a finger to his ear, deepening the sound. “Copy that Jill, keep us updated on anything that pops up, has anything changed in the last hour?”

“It’s gotten worse, but that is to be expected. We’ve lost contact with Captain Vale’s squad and are still yet to reestablish contact with them or anyone out in the city. As of now, we can only assume that the LZ will be infested with something, we need you to clear it out if needed and find out what’s happened. Before we lost contact, we had heard reports of fights breaking out all across the city. Mutant J’avo, zombies, Nepads, dozens of other creatures seemed to come out of nowhere and proceeded to tear everyone apart, sometimes including each other.”

Chris looked to Piers and then his team, nodding to each of them individually. “There is the broadcast from some local news station, but as far as I know that was done hours before we lost contact, maybe even days. We have reason to believe that Captain Vale’s team was following a lead on the whereabouts of Alex Wesker, from what Claire has described to us.”

Chris gritted his teeth, everyone knew where a Wesker went, the world’s end would surely have to be prevented. “Damn it… do we know why she would be here?”

“No, we don’t. That’s the part that has command scared, we don’t have any idea why she would be here, it’s a remote town that is pretty much cut off from the rest of the country.”

Piers tapped his chin in thought. “Is there any possibility that there is some kind of Spencer asset here as far as research goes?”

“Hmm… that’s a good idea Piers… I’ll get intelligence working on that as one of their top priorities, what do you guys think she could be searching for if there is a lab?”

“Viruses… another body switch… something to make her stronger… any number of things that could just be some souped up version of what we have seen already I would imagine. One Wesker is the same as another, just a different face under the Mask.”

“Good point, we’ve got you coming in on the LZ now. Keep in contact and stay safe, report anything strange you come across.”

“Copy that Jill, Redfield out.”

Chris took his finger from his ear, looking at each individual in front of him, they may not have known each other long but they had to trust each other to watch their backs.

“Alright, I don’t know what you guys have gone up against in your short time with the B.S.A.A., but I know what I’ve gone up against. One thing that never works out well, going in alone. Don’t do anything stupid, don’t do anything alone, and don’t leave anyone behind, understood?”

“Sir yes Si-“

“Take her up!”

           A moment of silence, a moment of chaos. In an instant a landing turns into a spiral of burning metal, the souls of soldiers trapped and free inside unsure of what happened. A moment of silence pours into their ears; the only thing they can hear is the ringing. The ringing of a doorbell, or, the ringing of the reaper’s call?

“We’re going down! Hold onto something!”

           They looked across the aisle at one another, not a single person able to move to save another. Some were trapped, locked in the iron jaws of a bird, some holding onto their lives by a thread. Further and further they fell, the world beginning to blacken before their eyes, before a few final words can faintly be heard.

“Get to the crash site!”

“Chris!!!!”

Chris looked to his left, Piers reaching out to him, or rather, past him. Then he could feel something hot hit his head, the burning sensation followed by the smell of cauterized tissue and heated blood. The world turns black, and slowly silence seeped in.

               Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he looked to the left. Seeing the face of his partner alert almost had him on edge himself. Then he started to hear something, the chop chop chop of helicopter blades. He looked to the sky but couldn’t see anything; his weathered eyes weren’t as good as they used to be.

“What is it?”

           Clark stopped, sensing something could be wrong he immediately started to scan their surroundings. Anything that moved could be a threat, sometimes a threat could even come from within your own ranks. The only threat now however, was the silence. Silence is a deadly thing, it can hide something that can kill you, but it may also hide something that can save you.

“That noise… that’s some kind of helicopter, right? What’s one doing out here?”

Jefferson listened for a moment, trying to pinpoint the positioning of the helicopter. “Do you think we have reinforcements coming in?”

“Communications have been jammed for a while now, how do you think they would get them here?”

Jefferson raised his rifle, checking through his scope for the wings of metal. “Doesn’t the Captain have a special communicator they’ve been testing out that’s supposed to get through communication blocks?”

Clark chuckled at that. “Testing. Doesn’t mean it’s going to work. Still, they could be, what do you say we go check it out?”

“Carefully and quietly now, don’t let anything see us that shouldn’t”

“Roger that.”

           They began to move off towards the buildings, staying as silent as they could. Before they could get inside however, they heard an explosion and smoke could be seen swirling in the sky, the sounds of a yelling pilot barely audible.

“I don’t think those guys are hostile if they just got blown up!”

“Well what the hell are you waiting for Clark? Let’s hurry up they’re going to crash somewhere!”

Also, please leave any comments for me to read if something can be improved! :)

Why I became a Tech

So some of you may know what I’ve been going to school for (Veterinary Technician) and it’s kept me very busy. Some of you may or may not know my reasoning behind it. Everyone asks why we go where we go, and we all give the same answer. “Because we love animals.” But it’s so much more than that. Here’s one reason why some of us may do what we do, but it is not for everyone to read.

Why I became a Tech:

I couldn’t sleep last night, but that’s ok. I just hope you were able to. You slowly got worse, and we slowly put it off. We tried everything we could, but today it hurts to breathe because there is nothing else we can do, nothing else I can do. I feel like i might only breathe once today, and it would be for the words that will break me inside. Good bye.

I still remember the first time you seemed to say hi. We went to a rescue but you didn’t make a sound. Everyone kept looking and I mentioned you. Nobody thought a second time, you were coming home with us.

We had a scare once when you were at home alone with me and wouldn’t stop bleeding. I didn’t know why then, but I understand now. It always filled me with joy seeing you run around, but as you aged you slowed down. There wasn’t much we could do.

When we got to the doctor we took you in. Nobody wanted to but everyone wanted those two heart shattering words before you said them yourself. One by one we said goodbye.  You laid down on a red towel, feeling the warmth below your face. Then it happened, and you slowly drifted off, saying goodbye and thank you with your eyes.

Hearing you breathe for the last time, something broke inside. It was my heart that you stole the first time I saw you, but now I can breathe again. Watching you go wasn’t what really broke me inside. We did everything we could. What broke me was I know so much, but I knew nothing to stop this from happening.

Everything I tried to think of was a dead end, even the doctor had nothing else. You even knew it was time to leave us, because you didn’t try to get back up after you lied down. But you’re the reason for me. People ask me why I do what I do. “Because I love animals.” I always say to them, but it’s so much more than that. I had to say those two words to you because I couldn’t do anymore, no matter how hard I tried I had to let you go, but even if I only get to do it one time in my life, I want to be able to stop someone from having to say those words themselves.

So, this is goodbye, but there’s one last thing I want you to know. You’re the reason why I became a Vet Tech. Goodbye, and say hello to the others when you cross that rainbow bridge, I love you.

Writing Teaser: Returning to Active Duty

Rather ominous and pain in the butt of me to post this one me thinks. :)

A moment of silence, a moment of chaos. In an instant a landing turns into a spiral of burning metal, the souls of soldiers trapped and free inside unsure of what happened. A moment of silence pours into their ears, the only thing they can hear is the ringing. The ringing of a doorbell, or the ringing of the reaper?

“We’re going down! Hold onto something!”

[viridiank]

tbh i literally archive every email i get that says something like kudos/left comment/etc because even when I haven’t been able to write in forever i still love seeing those :o)

For everyone who hesitates to comment on a fic

Today I got a reply to a comment saying that the author had been so discouraged by the lack of response on the last two chapters that they had decided not to finish it, but that they had changed their mind and were now thinking of finishing. Just because I took 30 seconds to comment on each chapter.

It doesn’t matter if the fic is years old

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say (“I loved this” is always music to an author’s ears, no matter how many times we hear it)

The author will not think you’re a creeper if you’re commenting on every single one of their fics

The author WILL cuddle your comments close to their hearts like the precious gems that they are, even if they’re only one word.

Comments and feedback matter. I’ve written in fandoms and for pairings that have very active, vocal fans who comment a lot, and I’ve written for ships that are not terribly popular and don’t get much reaction. The difference in my attitude is incredible.

Your feedback matters to authors. Click the kudos button, but please, take the time to leave a comment. Even if it’s just one word. If you like the writing and want to see more, let the author know

Chapter 7: Wings of Metal

 Hey guys, IDK if i ever posted this short bit up... this was sitting on my flash drive and tonight is just one of those not so great nights so I’m looking for something to do and going to try this for a bit... enjoy I guess.

Chris started towards the helicopter, Piers right at his side. “Another day another battle, eh Captain?”

“More like another day another war… the world is more senseless than ever, people having to die left and right for no reason at all, it makes me sick to my stomach sometimes.”

Piers sighed, understanding Chris’ own frustrations himself. “Well you have that right… even if it makes us sick that we have to deal with it, sometimes we have to because nobody else will. If there isn’t someone to stop the ones that decide to kill then there wouldn’t be a world left to live for.”

Chris smiled and pulled Piers into a hug, running one hand in a small circle on his back. “You just better be careful out here… that world we need left to live for? I need you to be a part of that world alright?”

Smirking, Piers placed a kiss on Chris’s lips. “I wouldn’t have it any other way Captain, it takes more than one to make something complete, and a world without at least two isn’t a world because it can only be seen from the perspective of one person instead of two.”

Chris sighed slowly, his warm breath ghosting its way across Piers’ neck. “You’ve got that right, nothing is more frightening than a light that has to burn on its own.”

Jill’s voice sliced its way into the comm channels.

Writing

Hey guys, It’s obviously been a while since i checked in. So, I will be starting my surgery term after the next 2 months (about to go into our pre-surgical term which is still a lot to do) and I would like to try and update SOMETHING before that happens. So my questions are these:

1) What do you guys want to see updated first?

2) Anyone have any Ideas for what to be put in the next update if it is possible?

Thanks in Advance:

~ViridianK

[viridiank]

Just randomly checked me email and saw this....!!! :D

Fun little questions for you guys: 1) What did you guys think the first time you saw each other. 2) What are your thoughts about what love feels. Like thoughts you have/how much you care for the other etc.

These are some real good questions. Yikes, I hope I can do them justice.

1) I try my best not to judge potential recruits before I see their credentials and what they can do under pressure. But with Piers, when we first met I will admit I actually found it difficult to see past his enthusiasm (Why was he so excited to transfer out of Special Ops? Did he know what he was getting himself into if he joined the B.S.A.A.? Was he another adrenaline junkie who wanted to go out hard and fast doing something few ever did?). Of course there are a number of reasons anyone would consider joining counter terrorism with a piss-your-shorts high mortality rate, but this kid (that’s what he was in my eyes) Nivans seemed too excited to fight monsters and ultimately after that first interview I walked away from him. The last thing I needed was a hot shot who was only in it for himself.

Of course we know how that turned out. Piers turned out to be anything but what I expected and I can’t imagine the B.S.A.A.(NAB) being what it is today without his extraordinary contribution, unique skills, and of course that hard-to-shake sniper cockiness that we know and (sometimes) love.

** As a very important side note (that Piers insists I write in here) I should clarify that much of Piers’ initial ‘eagerness’ to join the B.S.A.A. had to do with how badly he wanted to work with me specifically. Apparently I don’t get that sort of compliment enough to recognize it when I see it. Don’t worry though, he still pokes fun at me for it to this day….

2) What does love feel like? Ah, you like giving me the hard questions, don’t you VK?

I guess to me love feels…binding. Sometimes crippling. It can paralyze you in the most inconvenient and terrifying way if it is taken away, and yet … we still fall for it, don’t we? Usually headfirst. Despite its similarities, love is different from fear in that when you love and recognize that you’re loved back you somehow know that you’ll be alright in the end, despite the many, many things that could go wrong….

Love feels counter-intuitive, exhilarating, reckless, headstrong, stubborn, uplifting, and self-sacrificing…

I’m no expert on the subject but to me love feels like… Piers.

Snippet

Here’s a short snippet, it’s the beginning of what I just posted about haha.

December, a few years later. Everything used to be different, constant wars and battles, never ending, always continuing a cycle of death and destruction.

         Just a few short years ago, another battle would start in a desolate town, few citizens, but ending with a massive slaughter. The cold is coming now, and while some live through the cold, some live with the cold year round.

         Those that live past the cold and are lucky enough for the ice to melt and thaw away, they can move on. For those that can’t, they are stuck in an endless cycle of wondering why something happened, why it couldn’t have been different.

But maybe… just maybe… they have a candle light at the edge of the snow, waiting to thaw away the pain.

Hey Guys

So yeah, it’s been a while (obviously, why do I keep saying this lol) Y’all are probably wondering where the writing has been at. Well I haven’t been able to really do much of anything but I have some extra time this weekend (hopefully it says that way...) and something new is going to be as a sort of winter/holiday themed kind of thing. Hint: It’s in the universe of one of my fics (that haven’t been updated in yearssssss lol) Mood spoiler: It’s sad then happy ^-^

[viridiank]

Writing Update:

Hey guys, another “update” I guess. So a couple of you may have seen my FB at this point as I responded to a reply on a post I was told about yesterday or the day before or something. No, I’m not dead. It’s just very slow going and if you care to have specifics on that send me a message and I’ll answer it as I can, have a good night.
