"Evenly Frost, Killed In Action." "Faenly Garder, Killed In Action" William Scott, Killed In Action"

Your heart raced, you could feel a lump form in your throat.

Please please please please...

You begged as you clenched your hands into fists.

"That concluded the privates, as for the Sergents."

It had been months snice you had seen Elliot. Months since you had held him. Months since you had heard his voice. Months since you had felt his touch.

"Elliot Prentice,"

No... No please no...

"Missing In Action"

You heart shattered. Your hands instinctively went to the silver locket around your neck. A lock of Elliot's hair and a photo of him rested just about your heart. People bustled around you. Families wept and you knew you were just standing there. You knew you looked pathetic but... you couldn't move. Was he really... gone..?

"Y/N..? Love..?"

A gentle voice filled the air, making your rapid thoughts relax. Your eyes met Friya's, who's were so gently and kind they seemed to understand all. Her hands gently took your shoulders and led you away from the towns center. The rest of the day was a blur, you didn't remember much. Bits and pieces flickered through your brain but never really stuck. You had started to walk; you weren't sure where you were going but you needed to walk. You had no shoes on, your skirt fluttered in the gentle desert wind. the sand stuck between your toes as your tried not to completely space out. You barely recognized where you were. Your feet dangled off the edge of a broken pillar, you could vaguely remember when those pillars fell. They were mostly sand covered now, thanks to the frequent sandstorms.

"Hey..."

A gently voice grabbed your attention. Dull eyes met Aerilyn's. Here eyes were gentle and kind they made yours well up with tears. You felt her at next to you, her hand softly rubbed your clothed back, you wanted to scream, sob, to curse the world.

"Missing..."

You said, your voice barely above a whisper.

"Why can't he be dead...? Then I wouldn't have to worry..."

Your voice shook as you spoke, Aerilyn's hand slowed to stop before she quietly sighed.

"We're moving in the morning..."

Aerilyn whispered, her hand gently rested on your shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. After that, the two of you didn't speak You just sat there, quiet, with each other. Appreciating each other's presences. The late-night air made your tears chill and goosebumps raised on your skin, the wind blew making the sand raise up and tickle your feet. As you sat, you remember everything that Elliot used to do. How he'd braid your hair and made sure it wouldn't get damaged, how he'd hold you while you slept, how he'd always make sure you were okay and that you felt safe and secure, how he'd put you before himself. How Elliot would look at you like you had hung the moon and stats, how he'd talk so fondly of you, how he'd often press gentle kissed to your lips and neck, how he'd worship you and make you feel powerful. Just those memories made your heart ache. You just wanted him home...

"Come on Hun..."

Aerilyn spoke gently as she started to gently pull you up.

"You need to sleep, especially after today.
