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?744Please respect copyright.PENANAoPR3uZ670X
744Please respect copyright.PENANAobSx959VW0
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANA1tnhwMXrOA
744Please respect copyright.PENANA5OsVRhHmWH
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?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAb8mxIenSND
744Please respect copyright.PENANANIebHheOJW
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.744Please respect copyright.PENANAcVFk9EM1MG
744Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntsEeM17G
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"744Please respect copyright.PENANA5WPIea69NQ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAjCYl1g1Dzx
"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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAEBAFW00p3n
744Please respect copyright.PENANAA7Kep9579C
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.744Please respect copyright.PENANAK664vSu1iL
744Please respect copyright.PENANAm7NARa7BFz
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANACTIZpbxp96
744Please respect copyright.PENANAw7YSYFONEW
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."744Please respect copyright.PENANAoUZtyRM51H
744Please respect copyright.PENANANTO8poVYmE
"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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAO3WQZ37ihL
744Please respect copyright.PENANABLmcqBrXwR
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"744Please respect copyright.PENANADhyQd4rMdL
744Please respect copyright.PENANA2MtDDHFRXK
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.744Please respect copyright.PENANAxGee10Knr9
744Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdCBcvHAY
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAHST0kB9fyj
744Please respect copyright.PENANAYwA0K98Dkz
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANA61RL5AjFKQ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAySHFhlooUz
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ecUMSLbR
744Please respect copyright.PENANAUtSdCXe5E0
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAKhHvx1X06h
744Please respect copyright.PENANAdgvgdr4AL1
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANA3vwqqaPGRM
744Please respect copyright.PENANAEwCIxEiXUh
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.744Please respect copyright.PENANA0uQvgw6IKS
744Please respect copyright.PENANA7B1KoCfG4R
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAcAFHPsZIqi
744Please respect copyright.PENANAEM2reg6lov
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAL3noPzLGmd
744Please respect copyright.PENANAkHTxZJDiSB
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAcybVk153DU
744Please respect copyright.PENANARRj1Srup5O
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?"744Please respect copyright.PENANA9ttemXWEt5
744Please respect copyright.PENANAcUZbW1su2Z
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."744Please respect copyright.PENANA7kLWBRBBZJ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAa9YwzOwnUa
"What are you doing here?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAGjSozRqaDN
744Please respect copyright.PENANAtESJeSSEbY
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."744Please respect copyright.PENANAm4djePdFfu
744Please respect copyright.PENANAqo9Dvq2nek
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAS2OZpoR2Ws
744Please respect copyright.PENANAcAALXrrqmU
"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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAHfJQlrJBwF
744Please respect copyright.PENANA05pELaUy84
"Who?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAPYa8rwz2YL
744Please respect copyright.PENANAGN7fjEbtTt
"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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAYladnrMJpg
744Please respect copyright.PENANAP1L47WD3Rg
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAeV0XBUk35H
744Please respect copyright.PENANATAz7kkbGcu
"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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAc0gieWwDQQ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAWRupzNwkp4
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.744Please respect copyright.PENANAbjU8b0pv4U
744Please respect copyright.PENANAyr26YPtMAr
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAq9EVVsnXso
744Please respect copyright.PENANAqElYxBnayJ
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."744Please respect copyright.PENANArcQxAQnIxd
744Please respect copyright.PENANA9GRMavac3m
"Why should I leave?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAEUXBJUZWaj
744Please respect copyright.PENANAXVXW0xOwBQ
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAdi0eKT50WH
744Please respect copyright.PENANARlT38Lan61
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAsDlOEN1bgy
744Please respect copyright.PENANABXLa6XF24h
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."744Please respect copyright.PENANAu96yyI2a0c
744Please respect copyright.PENANAhdGkRsQZeT
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Cma21JrR
744Please respect copyright.PENANAxjsc7Ekjj4
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."744Please respect copyright.PENANA6BehglygWG
744Please respect copyright.PENANAdrxP8VR1QJ
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAF2NBaoFAd8
744Please respect copyright.PENANAHV3gKVaMkV
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?744Please respect copyright.PENANAfnyD00OC4P

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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAC0fxEQYa8q
744Please respect copyright.PENANAEOO0jB3pFp
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAUPMwUlYF6u
744Please respect copyright.PENANAwmz1pLlm9S
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. "744Please respect copyright.PENANA52d3BEQpk3
744Please respect copyright.PENANAkwboCjjkUR
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.744Please respect copyright.PENANAr77sKZdcer
744Please respect copyright.PENANAlijXopPFCp
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZgbRptKQK
744Please respect copyright.PENANAF9URhDSLU3
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."744Please respect copyright.PENANAQPdAMzc5sc
744Please respect copyright.PENANANYvD6xaIB9
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANArQns8CTlPc
744Please respect copyright.PENANAcoJzApHtvT
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANATK5jE8L3e2
744Please respect copyright.PENANAEhgynVzJb4
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANA8zaC9gGymu
744Please respect copyright.PENANAoLGjlVOMBS
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?!"744Please respect copyright.PENANAB44CQEJH8s
744Please respect copyright.PENANAceQMhcFvN1
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"744Please respect copyright.PENANAzqCdpCWYle
744Please respect copyright.PENANAZk2mDamLbN
"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?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAnhp6iMIUff
744Please respect copyright.PENANAkNZUbK4did
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.744Please respect copyright.PENANAI7SQYIiNMe
744Please respect copyright.PENANAnQBwRGycPo
"I wasn't told of any military police units."744Please respect copyright.PENANAVs0HfYgDH1
744Please respect copyright.PENANAlrrJxLBW7O
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAnHAhJsSl9J
744Please respect copyright.PENANAcRdHIumUwF
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-"744Please respect copyright.PENANAt7mdAtg0dK
744Please respect copyright.PENANAWDML6ufPOQ
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANANfb65YDQYY
744Please respect copyright.PENANAiuDgzMASet
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.744Please respect copyright.PENANATAa9eA49Fl
744Please respect copyright.PENANAsKsuJfkm0e
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAusTNVwLDvC
744Please respect copyright.PENANA3xj8nPwHpQ
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAfLCeFEkE8x
744Please respect copyright.PENANALCveo0KAn0
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAthCQyTJjIa
744Please respect copyright.PENANA3WJkG4cDxZ
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANA1RHqZPOAqn
744Please respect copyright.PENANA7ACPefLIYt
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.744Please respect copyright.PENANApo0xdwp5U5
744Please respect copyright.PENANAbdjxqNz5BI
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."744Please respect copyright.PENANAqYg6YBVQB0
744Please respect copyright.PENANAwMwKZrjhef
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."744Please respect copyright.PENANAseyXLwbc5V
744Please respect copyright.PENANAPXPdof8gn6
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANASu2bjgNpaZ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAvHckCtc21C
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."744Please respect copyright.PENANAKveBzlnBRb
744Please respect copyright.PENANA85QvI95G6b
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."744Please respect copyright.PENANAdKkZKf8ihz
744Please respect copyright.PENANAJkzHOfZYXd
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."744Please respect copyright.PENANAU5e3zU22FI
744Please respect copyright.PENANAIUerkKPpZF
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANALM1s7OiX15
744Please respect copyright.PENANALbBh365dVU
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."744Please respect copyright.PENANADufCPmLUBl
744Please respect copyright.PENANApy4MaF2BYw
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."744Please respect copyright.PENANAnaFBtF5fIP
744Please respect copyright.PENANAjPtC4dmRbm
All of the American officers stared at him.744Please respect copyright.PENANAc1KuLCkNDZ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAjE47hLYFya
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAYgbwIiTJya
744Please respect copyright.PENANAnkptKTnVRh
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.744Please respect copyright.PENANA4LbhOUczUM
744Please respect copyright.PENANAOCD6ROvjze
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."744Please respect copyright.PENANAbTqlxXs8uF
744Please respect copyright.PENANAW7AlUwGYGM
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."744Please respect copyright.PENANA0r3SFFCg63
744Please respect copyright.PENANASeZb5zFdv6
"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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAAQZezjgxxc
- - -
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANA2R5sOH3y3X
744Please respect copyright.PENANAfapJxzwa1g
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAtKKkSIPGlx
744Please respect copyright.PENANAMuoapRhU5m
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANANnXKGBswI7
744Please respect copyright.PENANA3cRbl3gVQL
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."744Please respect copyright.PENANAEQwRiOnoTP
744Please respect copyright.PENANAxi0GtBAoa7
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."744Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWtcGxK27
744Please respect copyright.PENANANUufEDaZd3
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."744Please respect copyright.PENANAOwyMLwI3UH
744Please respect copyright.PENANAOHhLY9qwwA
"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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAtorn3f12n4
744Please respect copyright.PENANAEVJHyVVYwx
"Even though it is all in vain?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAkhabp3fkfB
744Please respect copyright.PENANA8PTZoEeyUy
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."744Please respect copyright.PENANAiuz3ARVSnC
744Please respect copyright.PENANAkGSqg8bY9M
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAHPdjV8ywEe
744Please respect copyright.PENANA96Nxlvuk5k
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."744Please respect copyright.PENANAXCXyArp9VA
744Please respect copyright.PENANA1xad9IhMV0
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAOc76TDb0mu
744Please respect copyright.PENANAY1I7dmQ2jI
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANA2z8ng9KdGJ
744Please respect copyright.PENANAfI9yAJeW49
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANA8iciHIXyny
744Please respect copyright.PENANA5gP6Ylh99t
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAyz4GqykZfW
744Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jp8IWEWbJ
"I don't want to leave you."744Please respect copyright.PENANAj5SWFFpUnb
744Please respect copyright.PENANA3GAJfxXCxc
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.744Please respect copyright.PENANAXcjBNl1316
744Please respect copyright.PENANA9cshhWYQBH
"Goodbye father."744Please respect copyright.PENANApQoGzHDmXb
744Please respect copyright.PENANA78wUcHOliF
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."744Please respect copyright.PENANAUh3eJZPbCx
