Chapter 60
"Was there news of Damon or Brandon, yesterday?"
"No I asked aunt and she just said they'd be fine".
"Yeah they'll be, I guess. I just kind of miss them this time".
"Yeah.....what do we do this afternoon?"
"Let's prep for school".
SOMEWHERE IN BRIGS COMMUNITY.
"So what's the plan?"
"Translate the situation NG the Pakistani attraction coaching in 60 this m*********** scumbags did not even discriminate between women and children and it's so sickening. Here pictures".
"Are these children shot with guns".
"Yeah, the fore village was conquered and when the woman came outside to fight, the Pakistani soldiers released fire and killed everyone including their children".
"Let's go tomorrow". Brandon says rising to his feet, the ridiculousness and wickedness of some army was so unheard of.
"I will definitely boost the boy's morale, I heard immediately they heard we were going to fight another war they already started preparing your welcome party".
"So we leave tonight".
"This is not the united States and so not our war, even the Bridgerton community cannot just interfere".
"You must have a plan to have called me.....". Brandon asks calmly. It was during high school he was friends with Liam. The boy wasn't a soldier boy, but always had scars and nobody wanted to be friends with him.
Brandon a vampire was a voluntary outcast, the two being friends was quite natural. Everyone found it odd that the two always made the same grade yet remained best friends. Brandon later got to meet liam's father the day they graduated high school and found out what the family did was to fight for war victims and even help them protect their homes and towns.
Brandon decided to join the Bridgerton family's community, when Liam found out Brandon was a vampire it explained the incredibly high I.Q and lots more. The two oversee the communities activity after Liam's passed away in a battle two years before.
"Well one of the village is actually is rumoured to have elite fighters, it's the third village. Therefore we would smuggle our men in as a part of their elite men and help them protect their village. Not free though, the condition is that they also assist us protect the other villages.
"Undercover workings.... It is then".
"Yeah".
"So why the wait...?"
"Well we're trying to find all informations and be undoubtedly sure of our intel".
"I hope you have a fast man on that, we can't wait till the entire village is cleared out before we make our move".
"Trust me".
"Alright then, how long before I can leave here?"
"Around a week..."
"Not more than that I hope, I can already asume Damon being all worried by now".
"Not the first time you're leaving is it?"
"The first time I said goodbye".
"I'm sorry to keep you away for so long".
"One week isn't too long, they just love me too much I guess". Brandon laughs.
"Yeah... We were talking about a girl".
"We were talking about Leia, not just about any girl".
"Okay Leia..... Identity is important I guess". Liam says with a mocking smile.
"Liam, I just want her to be good... I have sworn my life to the Melville princess and that's how I'll continue to live". Brandon sighs. Why was life becoming more complicated as they grow.
"What if the Melville princess falls in love with someone else?"
"Well she's quite free to do that, then I guess I would finally be set free". Brandon mutters, all he wanted to was to sleep and wake up in peace.
"By then.....?" Liam asks, no matter how many times they discussed this Brandon doesn't seem to get the point.
"By then what?"
"Your darling Leia would be gone and don't bother giving me that crap 'i just take care of her like my sister'. Right now that girl is waiting for you and here you are trying to ruin everything". Liam sighs and gets up from the sofa.
"Liam I swore at her parents grace that I would make sure their daughter got the best of everything. I'm also yet to find out the truth of that matter.
"How is all this supposed to be your responsibility, you were barely nine".
"The council would try to matchmake her soon after their coming of age. They could choose an old man or a spoilt brat from faraway, I wouldn't like that but I am more scared they would pick Damon or Paul. They deserve to marry who they love".
"..and you don't, what are you...the slaughter ram?"
"Give it a rest Liam, we've always discuss this... what's the point?"
"You're the f****** point Brandon. You".
"I'm fine".
"A tragedy is cooking and I hope it's not too bad when it's ready to serve".
"Tragedies are meant to be bad".
"Thank of Leia at least".
"How are you so sure, Leia is waiting for me?"
"Are you for real?"
"If at all she is, then I would have to send her away".
"Really Brandon is this the best you can come up with?"
"Yes this is my best".
"Boss". A man who looked to be not too young to the two walks in.
"Kendrick.... What's the matter?"
"We might have to move tonight. The Pakistani are planning a surprise attack".
"Village three men?"
"Their representative us outside, they're ready".
"Good, Brandon address the men".
"No problem let's head out".
"Kendrick go gather the boys, tonight we take back the villages".
"Okay boss". Kendrick walks out the door.
"Wait Brandon.... I know your mind is made up but let me give you an advice. Don't lie to Leia. Tell her the absolute truth, your feelings, your promise, everything. That way she would heal and you would as well.
"Hopefully, I would be able to follow this advice and we would be good. I however cannot promise you anything".
"It's fine, let's go, you can unwind with the battle".
"Thank you Liam".
