There are lots of things that happen before a war. You have a battle plan. It tells you what you will have to do, where you will have to be and when you have to do what you have to do. Then you have the background planning, the weapons, the machinery, the transport and the communication aids. The last part of war and what I say is the key of war, is your mind and how you prepare it.
Fear is inevitable as it is part of human biology to have a fight or flight mode. Naturally everyone goes for what they will decide to keep them safe. If you play it safe in the battlefield and take no risks there you will most likely lose. Your enemy will be able to predict your every move and therefore you will die. The people that take the risks and don't show fear to the bullet but make the bullet fear them.
They are the ones that survive the war.
"You know I always knew you were going to be the ruin of this family." Aunt Jessica sighed as she sat down next to me. I shifted uncomfortably in my chair and went through the checklist of weapons as the soldiers.
"I always saw you as your mother. This young girl with so much darkness around her who is just waiting to strike."
"Can I help you?" I spat harshly. Hoping she will get the hint. She is lucky she is married to uncle Luke and that he loves her. Because if i had to choose based on my feelings i would have left to rot in that cage along with her twins.
"I just want to make sure you know what you are doing."
Before I could say anything, mamma put her hand on aunt Jessica's shoulder harshly. "She knows more than you do. So I suggest you let her do her job because if i can put my money on it. You would be the first to fall." She scoffed loudly and I couldn't help but snicker to myself.
"How da-."
"How dare you! even thinking you can try and belittle my daughter while she is planning to save us all. So how dare you! You are a disgrace to the Moretti family and if anyone would be to ruin this family it would be you." I couldn't help the cheer squad that was cheering in my head. My mum was finally starting to grow her back bone back. Jessica being the sour worm she got up and stormed off. Probably to go and sulk a pity party with her horrible daughters.
Papa walked up beside mum and kissed her head. "There is my little feisty wife" I heard him whisper to her. It would gross me out but right now i just feel more proud than anything.
"How is everything going?" Enzo suddenly appeared and sat beside me. It was only a matter of seconds before nearly my whole family was sitting around the table. I couldn't help but remember the last time we were all sitting around a table.
And that didn't go very well.
"It's fine." I nodded then started marking the blue prink of the docks. Their painful stares watched me carefully as I was analysing every detail of the battle we were about to go into. But i couldn't focus with dad, enzo, Vince, Luke, Mathew, Bruno, mamma, Ben and just everyone in my family staring at me. I shifted uncomfortably then tried rubbing my temples to concentrate.
