Ever since her arrival, she had to remain quiet and observant. She had to keep her guard up and not bring in suspicion from those who were living in this world and thanks to Doctor Sauer, he had gotten her far for quite some time. However, the soldiers who she had to encounter within the town were often asking her what did she do for the doctor as she would only have to shrug them off. A smile fell upon her face as she remembered how the Ice Queen acted before she broke down her mask for the rest of Team RWBY. Remnant, what was going on back in her world ever since she was defeated by her foe?951Please respect copyright.PENANA4KGQiREWVO
951Please respect copyright.PENANA1XLVWZS90X
Then she was brought back into reality when the shopkeeper had grabbed her attention. "Excuse me miss, but here is your groceries. They're all been accounted for." Stated the German manager behind the counter as he brought a paper bag to her. It was small, but she knew that the doctor had a liking to the chocolates. "That would be fifty-two Reichsmarks." He said in English, but his accent was present. "You're lucky, once the Americans start hear about chocolates, they would run me dry."951Please respect copyright.PENANAfgqzpVXZVt
951Please respect copyright.PENANARwRjzs4VYg
Pyrrha smiled before handing him the money. "Its a good thing I got here first." She stated as the manager chuckled. "What is so funny?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAU1cM5yf9gv
951Please respect copyright.PENANAAtKEgoFuFz
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.951Please respect copyright.PENANAw0UAsEUyKi
951Please respect copyright.PENANAxH5y1SvOVk
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAjQHEIm0A0i
951Please respect copyright.PENANAImNVIsrDvM
"Ja." The manager answered in his native tongue. "One of their officers went missing ever since his kameraden left him behind at the bar. The last person who last saw him was Mr. Burgstaller, so the MPs are investigating him if he had a hand in this."951Please respect copyright.PENANACTT8XK7kGN
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgHHb4pOPfV
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.951Please respect copyright.PENANAOUHVEtEriA
951Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ6YdN4n5A
Then he shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know, his cousin was rumored to have been killed by the Americans during the Ardennes Offensive." The manager continued. "Maybe he wants revenge for Germany's second defeat against the Allies, but was too old to fight in this war."951Please respect copyright.PENANAIgzsSJKboo
951Please respect copyright.PENANASmNgpNFZNT
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."951Please respect copyright.PENANAmYiQ0C1yCN
951Please respect copyright.PENANArLy7Ix57Z6
"Young lady, our country was humiliated in the Great War. Then the Americans, the British, and the French-they all just told us to pay for all of the damages both sides created." He stated. "I don't blame my government for trying to be a great country again, but I do blame Hitler and his war-like party for going to war for stupid reasons."951Please respect copyright.PENANA38fqg9C01v
951Please respect copyright.PENANAoL2zWmCsnG
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAtcneH2r6Vr
951Please respect copyright.PENANASu9u331DoR
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.951Please respect copyright.PENANAGyAtyF7slu
951Please respect copyright.PENANAckb6brnRB7
Then Pyrrha turned away as she slipped out of the store as she saw a sight of military-grade vehicles driving past her as she took notice of the soldiers sitting in their seats as she saw their rifles slung over their shoulders. Trucks followed after as she saw dozens of men, clumped together to be transported to a designation she knew little of.951Please respect copyright.PENANAyg9KEDjMJE
951Please respect copyright.PENANAYUjm6ivw4E
One of the men took notice of her and grabbed her attention. "Hey lass, what's with the bandage over your chest." He commented on her fresh wound.951Please respect copyright.PENANABHo7bzDX7w
951Please respect copyright.PENANAjiLfs1VqqM
Her scar... the humiliating scar she received from that girl she could not defeat. She stared at the soldier who mentioned her with an icy glare.951Please respect copyright.PENANAwwGilfJsTP
951Please respect copyright.PENANATMHSwl78x9
The reaction to her changed his expression as he brought himself back into his seat and returned to watching the convoy pass. Then there was a showcase of tanks as the first tank was heavier than the first, but it stopped its tracks from moving any further.951Please respect copyright.PENANAvaGqRu1YY7
951Please respect copyright.PENANATldiSOMoas
The tank's hatch opened up with a man who wore a cap instead of a helmet as he gestured his hand to tell her to move along.951Please respect copyright.PENANAxuGaZK5E0a
951Please respect copyright.PENANA4KcXD0FnvT
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.951Please respect copyright.PENANAAUocsIvvHM
951Please respect copyright.PENANAbDN7E00k39
As the tanks proceeded to continue their journey, she was met with another woman dressed in black. Her dress exposed more of her legs until it reached above her knees. It brought the attention of many of the soldiers riding the tanks who whistled and waved for her attention; sadly, it was all for naught since she ignored their calls.951Please respect copyright.PENANABneUlzakvs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAfTLDSlecfQ
The woman who stood in front of her was familiar, very familiar indeed. Pyrrha knew who she was and tightened her grip on the doctor's bag as the last of the military convoy had finally left the street they stood on.951Please respect copyright.PENANABSnOWn0Rc7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsOWonUWM27
Then they both confronted each other as the brunette smiled at her. "Hello Pyrrha Nikos." She began. "I see you are still alive after all of this time."951Please respect copyright.PENANAhnOWsPfjOx
951Please respect copyright.PENANAcniqADrirn
Pyrrha gave a cold glare towards the lady in front of her. "Why are you here?" Came her demands. "Are you here to finish what you started?"951Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nz22lKGuf
951Please respect copyright.PENANAAEG1AzmmNH
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."951Please respect copyright.PENANAgADT8XM7Ga
951Please respect copyright.PENANApX4ECE2Uy7
"What are you doing here?"951Please respect copyright.PENANA7jOsOT5YKx
951Please respect copyright.PENANANAth7fBb14
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."951Please respect copyright.PENANAALcTnMCcAo
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsqamOMDghC
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAOvvDKkfj6O
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZRXIml4YkY
"Don't worry, I am not here to end you since this place nullifies my aura as well." Cinder stated. "Now to the matter of this offer. I will let you live if you do not return to Remnant, but if you try to return to stop me I will finish what we both started back at beacon." It could have been said that her eyes were burning. "However, I am not here for you, but for someone else."951Please respect copyright.PENANAlH7I8SmLgm
951Please respect copyright.PENANAuuTl2CaiKb
"Who?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAEJnUu3c4lB
951Please respect copyright.PENANAOsey5PXUtq
"This is a matter I have to discuss with Doctor Sauer. Don't follow me, it's very personal. If you do, I may drown this place in Grimm." Then Cinder began to walk past her as she continued her way down the street.951Please respect copyright.PENANAqKPQEsi9QK
951Please respect copyright.PENANAboHsLX2HpA
She watched her foe make her way before the voice of an older man stepped up. "Are you looking for me?" Turning her head behind her back, she was met with a stoic face of the doctor's who brought out a different side of his personality.951Please respect copyright.PENANAMLLdlDLdad
951Please respect copyright.PENANAN0TunBCRfV
"I have and I have awaited to see you again." Cinder stated as Pyrrha stepped back to see two confront each other in the street.951Please respect copyright.PENANA5HAEbRFFa6
951Please respect copyright.PENANAoO8dRyIIvN
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.951Please respect copyright.PENANAT1o7eG7dpg
951Please respect copyright.PENANAmOkiFe7x1Z
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAfcOowGTPju
951Please respect copyright.PENANAYM3p9zy1JQ
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."951Please respect copyright.PENANA55ZpzNs8HO
951Please respect copyright.PENANAnOCvUrNWhN
"Why should I leave?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAOQee8i8Neh
951Please respect copyright.PENANAtbpSDOaou4
Then she was immediately met with the doctor's eyes. "Please, these are matters you won't understand." Honest eyes, it was almost as if he was pleading with her.951Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDMK68En2
951Please respect copyright.PENANAaWWAwiNZp0
Whatever business she had with Cinder, Pyrrha didn't like it. However, she did take Doctor Sauer's advice as he walked away from the duo in the street. With her attention focused on the road, she tried to hear out their conversation while she continued to leave them be. Between the clicking of her high-heels, she overhead their conversation.951Please respect copyright.PENANAzntKhaxdqU
951Please respect copyright.PENANAj827gqVhrm
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."951Please respect copyright.PENANAZoCWMk27gq
951Please respect copyright.PENANAQfwtmDl5dc
Cinder returned with a seductive reply. "I'm here to recruit you." She stated. "We could change man's place on Remnant forever and possibly, here."951Please respect copyright.PENANAgq0n9dzYne
951Please respect copyright.PENANA8e1ih3qPdr
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."951Please respect copyright.PENANAvtjBJBKoPb
951Please respect copyright.PENANABCo5p0fBIm
She didn't know how Cinder knew Doctor Sauer, even though he went missing nine years ago. Could it be that they knew one another beforehand? Before he ended up on Earth. How did she even get here in the first place? It was these thoughts which concerned Pyrrha the most about the doctor. They could possibly conspiring together, but how? Then the matter of the danger occurred to her. She mentioned about recruiting the doctor to work with her, but he mentioned something about a disagreement between Cinder and himself.951Please respect copyright.PENANAQeeUj0tIid
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkRIqecNpQb
Some of Cinder's words echoed through her mind. "...I may drown this place in Grimm." The thought was terrifying, if she could bring the Grimm into a world where there was no auras or dust to protect the people of Earth from the soulless creatures. How could they defeat them?951Please respect copyright.PENANAd4S1Z4vQ8e

After Johnny Vastano didn't report to Conti, everything went to hell. The Military Police told Monte Durante and his fellow officers that they were to remain in the command post until further notice... and it pissed him off. Durante knew that rules were there for a reason, but sometimes he hated them for getting in the way. Now that the Military Police were looking into his disappearance and didn't want any of the company commanders to get in the way of their investigation, especially Captain Durante and Fox Company. It was duly noted by the command structure that he was known for not going by the books and often not following regulations within the US Army, but don't understand the use of not having a command structure in situations like this. He could possibly find Johnny faster than these MPs could do since they could possibly piss of the people living in Lorch and the last thing they needed was to fight a war against a civilian population, just like how the Germans had to put up against the French, Polish, and the Dutch.951Please respect copyright.PENANAOXlDYcBAY7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgUQJWLOvfl
Sitting in his seat and looking at he map of Lorch and the surrounding area, Monte decided to bring a conversation. Then he looked to the youngest officer who led Baker Company. "Hey Bill, what do you plan to do after the war?" He asked. Ever since the Germans surrendered to the Soviets on one side and the Allies on the other, home was on everyone's mind. However, with Colonel Conti telling Monte and his fellow captains, it was difficult for anyone to not protest against the idea.951Please respect copyright.PENANAE4zrhJZgKY
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMGvKxxPX6p
Captain Edwards came to him with two mugs of coffee as he placed on mug on the table for Durante. Then he leaned back on the table full of maps of Lorch. "I don't know." The officer answered as he looked down into his caffeinated drink. "I think I'll stick around for the Army for a few years. "951Please respect copyright.PENANA53TanECMtU
951Please respect copyright.PENANAhnukqNWuVN
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.951Please respect copyright.PENANAoct1qWcSNy
951Please respect copyright.PENANA64arPhJuWt
He took a sip of his coffee before he added. "Yeah, though I doubt I'll get to see the stuff like what we did at the Ardennes." Both men chuckled in the command room as the officers almost forgot about the radio operators who were at their stations. "I remember you asked me to take out those command trucks back at Espeler and loot all of their weapons; though, I didn't mind the infrared assault rifles you gave to me."951Please respect copyright.PENANAGmoSmZJHC5
951Please respect copyright.PENANAqQbcUdYgFV
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."951Please respect copyright.PENANAwYnNjudPS7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAF0S2ZKnnBS
Within their conversation, they almost forgot the third captain whose invaluable experience was almost forgot. "Yet, you boys decided that it was funny to steal those bazookas my men were using." Monte turned to his left to see the old man in his uniform sitting in the chair on the side of the room. "I should've hanged both of you by the balls for that stupid stunt." Then his beady eyes were aimed at CO of Fox Company. "I'm looking at you Durante."951Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ2Isea2hl
951Please respect copyright.PENANA4hnRm77oPo
Then the captain shrugged his shoulders at the memory. "Well, it's not my fault that my men needed it more than you did." Monte replied. "You refused our request for anti-tank rockets every time." Derby muttered to himself in his southern ways.951Please respect copyright.PENANAd5lMxJuQyF
951Please respect copyright.PENANABzMqTzgugN
The memories of himself arguing with Kurt had left a bad attitude for quite some time after the German war machine extended themselves from the frontlines. He couldn't blame the old man, he was a grizzled veteran from the Great War. The problem was, this wasn't the Great War. No one fought in trenches, tanks were quite common, and Army officers didn't send their men to the meat grinder. That being said, Monte hated being reminded of the Ardennes. Plenty of his Rangers died trying to hold places like Stavelot and St. Vith. All trying to hold the line and stem the tide through smaller tactics against the German forces from bringing in the big bad kitties from kicking Bill's ass.951Please respect copyright.PENANAIwjJT32uE1
951Please respect copyright.PENANA2xh4RJNF4G
A familiar figure stormed the room with his red beret as the company commanders turned their heads to see the British officer. "Lads!" He shouted. "Where we're you when Colonel Conti was killed?!"951Please respect copyright.PENANApb4LOsx0pe
951Please respect copyright.PENANAwGhNAfPNPQ
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"951Please respect copyright.PENANAqFCCKUu5do
951Please respect copyright.PENANAtVtoBRXwwQ
"We found Colonel Conti and his staff killed on the side of the road before I returned back." Came his answer. "Why weren't you all with him?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAs7bc6oOWqw
951Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYfctJ2wy
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.951Please respect copyright.PENANAOIH1SOUA7b
951Please respect copyright.PENANAqBY68JTxGP
"I wasn't told of any military police units."951Please respect copyright.PENANADsSHPIxksC
951Please respect copyright.PENANATr5rpiJNkf
Then two more people entered the room, but this man was Blackmore's superior. Nearly in the same age-range as Kurt Derby were it not for his eyepatch on his left eye. The second man joining him was easily recognized since Monte knew he fought with him at Lorch, Captain Argall.951Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwfFq3dGZ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKbZ60MUpHa
However, everyone's attention was trained on the British colonel in his officer's cap. "Major Blackmore, I think that's enough." He stated. "Everyone I am Colonel Strudwick, I serve the OSS and I've been in this section far too long to know that someone... has infiltrated this town. Someone who wants something of importance or someone by that matter." It was immediately noted that Colonel Blackmore was using a cane as he leaned on it for support. "I believe it is safe to assume that-"951Please respect copyright.PENANAeRyrff2CWM
951Please respect copyright.PENANATPgyj6sbzQ
It was to their surprise that someone had penetrated this deep from the entrance of the mansion the command post was located. This time, Durante recognized the red-head girl who stopped at the doorway. "Doctor Sauer is in danger!" Pyrrha stated. Her mouth opened, but suddenly an MP ran up behind her and wrapped his arms around her mouth.951Please respect copyright.PENANADgUefKa44I
951Please respect copyright.PENANA4dqwNuHoL9
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.951Please respect copyright.PENANAzoYVj4xr15
951Please respect copyright.PENANAlLt52AN0dx
The MP was trying keep a grip on Pyrrha before she kicked him in the foot with her high-heels, but this time she smashed the back of her head into her assailant. The officers stepped forward, but the MPs helmet flew off as they all stopped in their tracks. The sight was very noticeable as Durante couldn't comprehend the fact that the MP who was struggling to handle the girl had wolf ears.951Please respect copyright.PENANA3YKcJvtCcz
951Please respect copyright.PENANACOflBBf7PB
Before the officers proceeded to pry his arms off of her, the disguised MP reached down for his holster. Suddenly, the captain of Fox Company saw the British colonel reach for his sidearm faster. The revolver discharged a shot as the man with the wolf ears became the weapon's victim with his hands loosening his grip on Pyrrha.951Please respect copyright.PENANA4OOSJlFfBx
951Please respect copyright.PENANADzIcKgjREz
Durante came forward to see to the need of the girl, but she raised her head and gestured him of little need for his assistance. Turning to the rest of the room, it was like the hole place froze.951Please respect copyright.PENANAtBypDNp3jy
951Please respect copyright.PENANAFxUnsmVKi5
Immediately, the present caught up to everyone. "Alright lads." Colonel Strudwick began before turning to the radio operators and the officers. "Its clear that we need to alert everyone." His cold gaze was aimed at the radio operators. "You there, organize everyone in Lorch to investigate all of the MPs that are present." Then he added more orders to the rest of the officers. "Major Blackmore, disperse the lads to search the town and find the infiltrators."951Please respect copyright.PENANAGDCh03H23D
951Please respect copyright.PENANAcoMMFpRDR2
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.951Please respect copyright.PENANAiAMNhHNZwI
951Please respect copyright.PENANAQMjwxgUKfx
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."951Please respect copyright.PENANALSCi803k24
951Please respect copyright.PENANA3DLMRDpn31
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."951Please respect copyright.PENANAMGpvDGFKMr
951Please respect copyright.PENANA48xUxkByPH
Strudwick turned around as he brought Durante over to the table full of maps covering Lorch. "Yes, I need all of you to create an encirclement around the town and comb from the outside to the inside." He suggested. "All of you come here." Soon Edwards and Derby came over to see his idea. "Captains, I'll inform Major Blackmore to move men from the west." His finger was aimed at Derby. "You're going to sweep in from the north and block their route to the vineyards."951Please respect copyright.PENANAZIhIYyouvx
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgnZ5yVxbMZ
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."951Please respect copyright.PENANAYeYMhvxiwM
951Please respect copyright.PENANAyd7tUEtsuY
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."951Please respect copyright.PENANAWvU61purJQ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAI8sYomJpYk
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."951Please respect copyright.PENANATBJozokz2a
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMQqhC2QIWT
Then the last order of business was brought to Edwards. "Lad, I'm going to need you to act as a net for us. You will be blocking the infiltrators from any escape to the east. Kill them if you must, but try to obtain any prisoners."951Please respect copyright.PENANADk7LZbyWJn
951Please respect copyright.PENANArMLypnlcgh
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."951Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Y0Kw9B0i
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkGQaou2HUn
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."951Please respect copyright.PENANAaw5ICzS8TS
951Please respect copyright.PENANAnPg4AXOOi2
All of the American officers stared at him.951Please respect copyright.PENANAPCbYNSE8b7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAwE9tpexCan
Colonel Strudwick sighed. "I work for the OSS, I'm sure you all should know that." Sounds of gunfire were heard outside as he rushed them. "Come lads, get to work! God isn't giving us much time to work with."951Please respect copyright.PENANADTEZJRF0Pp
951Please respect copyright.PENANAo0mGroVGFo
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.951Please respect copyright.PENANA8HWOJ2Xhwf
951Please respect copyright.PENANA8baEkOOdFm
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."951Please respect copyright.PENANA0C29kRS4hd
951Please respect copyright.PENANAmPv2Yrceyr
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."951Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ56OSctjX
951Please respect copyright.PENANAFQdW03eTtW
"Got it." Replied Monte before turning to Pyrrha standing in the room. "Alright miss, stick with them they're the good sort." Then he ran through the hallways as he pulled out his sidearm.951Please respect copyright.PENANA3PL3soCKpa
- - -
They were not far from Lorch. Rather, they were watching over it and Doctor Sauer hated moments when he had to meet Cinder like this. "I take you proceeded with Salem's plan?" He asked her. Both individuals were sitting on a bench as a tree acted as their shade.951Please respect copyright.PENANAniu8Ztvlu0
951Please respect copyright.PENANAQY3GBoTo4P
Cinder watched the fighting from afar. "Yes. I have managed to get Ozpin out of the way." She stated as if she was amused by the memory. "He tried to stop the coming chaos which I shall bring."951Please respect copyright.PENANAj8rXOiLBMu
951Please respect copyright.PENANA0FcEy7TpYT
Doctor Sauer sighed. "It is a pity that you do not know Ozpin like I do. He has his ways to fight you and Salem indirectly." A great explosion erupted in the town as the volume of gunfire increased.951Please respect copyright.PENANAYulTekKchM
951Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ELppciTM
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."951Please respect copyright.PENANAd2F06caqm9
951Please respect copyright.PENANAaJYwXcSBVU
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."951Please respect copyright.PENANAIai59pwSPX
951Please respect copyright.PENANApd5CcAC0tc
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."951Please respect copyright.PENANA8yeDL35z7B
951Please respect copyright.PENANAYUDSZ2omYi
"Sometimes, they often find the courage to fight even when the odds are against them." He argued. "Especially when it feels like there is no hope."951Please respect copyright.PENANAfaCWkMKzvB
951Please respect copyright.PENANAYkQS85oXrG
"Even though it is all in vain?"951Please respect copyright.PENANADBEuSDJWnT
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVaaky63XMt
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."951Please respect copyright.PENANAlONWbto5Fx
951Please respect copyright.PENANA3gygvgi2j4
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAcLvjLLANHV
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsgZ548Jqrn
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."951Please respect copyright.PENANABqnIyrD1g8
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMSYAQBDA9o
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAK6t2AuSSOC
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkQlYud4yMA
Doctor Sauer paused for a moment. "Cinder, you know your mother and I will fight once more and my dedication to protecting man from her monsters has already been decided. So expect my return home."951Please respect copyright.PENANAKxtxze36UG
951Please respect copyright.PENANAhcMJ2Nmolz
Cinder stopped watching the fighting before turning her sights on the man sitting beside her. "Father, I missed you." It was a long time since she last done this, but she gave her father a hug. "It is a pity that you and her have made your battle lines."951Please respect copyright.PENANAOgi127Vf2T
951Please respect copyright.PENANAlVX2KQptkF
The doctor returned the heart-warming gesture, his hand pressed on her arms while he kissed her silky hair. "I know, I know." His ears perked up when the sounds of engines were close and the shouting of men were nearby.951Please respect copyright.PENANAfvL3hcam2i
951Please respect copyright.PENANA0wGVGnsmhZ
"I don't want to leave you."951Please respect copyright.PENANAipPJkZjZyb
951Please respect copyright.PENANAY16ijwAB7G
Sauer closed his gaze before he felt a teardrop drip from the crevice off his eyes. "But you must." He squeezed Cinder close before he released her out of his arms. "Now go." Immediately, he reached down into his pockets for a handkerchief before he watched his daughter rise from her seat and walk away from him without a glance towards him.951Please respect copyright.PENANAT0bBkoTNmH
951Please respect copyright.PENANAWcfTpQZSwI
"Goodbye father."951Please respect copyright.PENANAot2LQcquKJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgZNtPpyxEV
After clearing his face from his tears, the man waited as he regained his composure while the sight of his daughter grew smaller and smaller as she continued the distance. "Goodbye, Cinder." The voices of men were close by. "T'is is the burden for us monsters."951Please respect copyright.PENANA0KH8jUZZqt
