The first thing I do after committing murder is getting Sergeant Chase.
I don’t know why I trusted her enough but I did. I just knew she would know how to protect me. The guy forced himself on Jaimie. Chase would understand.
“Why did we call Sergeant Chase?. That’s like reporting ourselves” Dawn whispered as we walked back to the spot we left the others.
“She will help. I trust her.”
“You like her. It doesn’t change the fact that Sergeant Chase is our drill Sergeant. She will report Aidan” Dawn grabbed my arm trying to convince me.
“She won’t let anything happen to me” I whispered with enough confidence but also dread.
“You don’t know that! Are you really that delusional. Two people are dead because of us. We have drugs in our system”
“Dawn listen…”
“Both of you shut up and walk faster” Sergeant Chase’s voice was deep and angry.
I swallowed down nervously but kept my mouth shut. All I told her was that an incident happened and I needed her help. She didn’t ask questions or turn me away. She said okay and left with us.
My nerves were messy. I was sweating and I thought I was going to pass out the closer we got to the scene. I had no idea what time it was.
I almost wished I could borrow that drug Sureya gave us. To be calm again. Then we arrived. Alice, Lola, Maddie and Sureya were standing by looking frozen. Jaimie was sitting alone in the same place I left her. Her eyes were wide and her clothes were ripped.
She looked very messy.
7 boys were lying on the ground. I knew only 2 of them were dead while the rest, completely passed out.
“What happened?” Sergeant Chase asked getting the attention of all the girls. They looked at her even more terrified.
This scary woman had fucked me and cuddled me to sleep. It seemed so unreal now that she was in her real element. Dark, cold and right out scary.
“Uh we were out here hanging out. We were altogether I swear nobody was alone…” I started to explain in panic that she would think I disobeyed her again.
“Aidan calm down and explain. Think and talk” She commanded dropping down to the trainee I stabbed with a stick.
“We sneaked out and we were just having fun. Jaimie went to pee and the next we heard was a scream from her. By the time we got there, she was tied to a tree with that guy forcing himself on her. I..I don’t know what happened. I just… I lost control and.. and…”
“Have any of you told anyone or done anything else after you fought these guys?” She looked up from her crouched position to stare at all of us.
“N..no”
We voiced in chorus.
She was silent. Her expression showing nothing regarding her feelings. I wanted to know what she was thinking. Was she going to report us?.
Was it bad I knew she was going to help?. Was it bad to trust her that much?.
“I want all of you to sneak back inside and take showers then go to bed. It’s almost 3am. Use the same trail you used to get here. Your exam starts at 10 hundred hours. I will send all 50 trainees to work out at the gym. You will not speak to anyone. You will be your chirpy selves talking away nonsense like you always do. I will deal with the rest”
I noticed the girls were shocked at what she was saying. They expected her to turn us in and report it but with the way she was talking. She was trying to cover us up.
“Y..you are helping us?” Dawn stammered in surprise.
“I said leave. Don’t do anything stupid. Jaimie, I will talk to you when I’m done here.  You are dismissed”
We stood around for a minute. Sergeant Chase snapped her head up and we all moved along leaving. I helped Jaimie to get up then we were on our way to do as told.
There was complete silence as we made way to the bays. I knew they had questions but we were also in shock. We murdered people. I knew I killed the guy with the stick in his neck but none of remembered who among us killed the second dead guy.
We sneaked back in without complications and went straight to the showers. Jaimie was being strong. We helped her wash up and then we went to bed.
I closed my eyes trying to sleep but the image of that dead body was replaying in my head. I tossed and turned until it was morning. I was so tired.
What did Sergeant do?. Did she leave the bodies there?.
How was she going to protect me?.
I knew that was the reason she did not hesitate to clean up after my mess.
Once again, I had messed up.
I kept fucking everything up and she was right there to get me out. I was so angry with myself.
I was a killer now.
“Everybody get up. I want you in queue towards the gym. Now!!!” Sergeant Chase’s voice jolted me up.
The girls and I made eye contact then stared at Sergeant Chase. She was standing right there in her vest and military pants. Her hair in a single dutch braid. Sexy as always.
We got up and hurried with our beds then got in line. Alice was in front of me in the line. Jaimie in front of her.
“Did I hallucinate..what happened?” She whispered to me.
“I wish” I bit in my nails anxiously.
We got to the gym. Sergeant Chase stood in by the door monitoring us. I didn’t understand why she was doing this.
“I want people in the ring sparring and why am I not seeing people on the punching bags?”
I got out of my thoughts making way to one of the punching bags. I was about to wear the gloves when I noticed my bruised knuckles.
I knew where I got them.
Everything made sense then. Sergeant Chase made everyone go to the gym because the 7 of us had bruised knuckles from fighting the guys who were possibly dead.
If all trainees had bruised knuckles, then no questions will be asked about us. I looked up to her and she was staring at me. Our eyes met and I almost teared up.
I was such a mess.
I watched her walk towards Jaimie and then whispered something. I saw Jaimie walk towards the bathroom and Sergeant Chase followed after a few minutes.
I was worried about everything.
Even though we were no longer the best of friends, I cared so much about Jaimie. What happened to her… she did not deserve it.
It was horrible.
The thought of what those boys did to me, to Jaimie, to those other girls who were silenced to never talk. I did not feel guilty about killing that trainee anymore. He had it coming.
His time was up.
I didn’t know where the rest of the boys were. I was afraid they would talk and we would be caught.
“Sergeant Chase said to come to the bathroom after Alice comes out” Jaimie spoke, her voice low.
“What did she say to you?” I stopped hitting the bag.
“She was… really helpful?. She gave me this big round pill. It will clean me up so I don’t catch any infections or get pregnant. She said some…comforting words to me. I feel…kinda better honestly. Then she made me drink some nasty liquid from a flask.” Jaimie gave me a small smile.
“I’m so sorry I was late…”
“No, you saved me. I saw what you did to that guy and maybe I’m officially a psychopath Sergeant Chase 2.0 but I…I don’t feel sorry for what happened. I like that he.. he is dead” Jaimie sighed.
“I thought I was the only one thinking it ” I whispered biting my lip.
Jaimie let out a breathy laugh then looked past my shoulder.
“Alice is out”
“I will see you later”
I smiled and she fake laughed for show. Sergeant Chase told us to act normal. Normally we were being young dumb trainees so that was the play.
I eyed Alice who was now talking to Sureya, laughing and being playful as if everything was okay. They were doing good. I opened the bathroom door and walked in.
Sergeant Chase was standing by the sink washing her hands. I closed the door and waited for a scolding and her disappointed gaze to turn to me.
“S..Sergeant Chase?”
“Aidan” She turned back and looked at me up and down.
She stepped forward and grabbed my hand. Then to my surprise, she placed her hand between my jaw and my collar.
“Are you hurt?. Did they do anything to you?” Her cold eyes were soft for the first time ever.
“They…they didn’t hurt me. I’m fine” my whole demeanor changed, my brain acknowledging the way I felt safe.
I visibly softened and showed all my emotions.
“I wanted to hold you back there. You looked so scared and I wanted to make you feel safe again.” She kissed my forehead and I moved closer in her arms where she held me so tight.
Everything felt okay.
“I’m sorry for the trouble…I didn’t…It was not intentional. The body…”
“Even if you had let him live, I would have finished the job baby. Those trainees…they were monsters. They deserved it”
I knew she meant every word. Our trust was something unique. I just trusted her without any questions and that was enough to know I was in love with Sergeant Chase.
“I would love to hold you like this but your other friends need to come in so let’s get to work” She pulled back and I let out a disapproving whiny sound.
“Fine.” I followed her to the sink.
“So I want you to understand that you were never in the woods after 23 hundred hours (11pm). You girls went out for your everyday night exercises then you got back after 2 hours. Drink this” She gave me a flask bottle.
“What is it?”
“You were on drugs right?. That takes an hour to cleanse your systems just in case.” She gave me a small disapproving glare about the drugs. I sheepishly smiled turning away to drink the think dark horrible liquid.
Just then I realized, Sergeant Chase had covered up murder for my sake. She was a soldier yet she put her morals aside and protected me.
She ensured I was left untouched.
I listened to her tell me the exercises we did and what to say and not do. Then she gave me a deep intimate kiss and let me go.
I didn’t have the courage to ask where the dead bodies where or what happened to the boys what happened to the rest of unconscious bodies.
Everything was taken care of right?.

Everyone needs a Chase in their lives.
What do you think about the plot?
Leave your comments, I love reading them.
Irrelevant but I found a good lesbian book here on wattpad. IÂ just finished reading it (ongoing) and I feel kinda empty.
It is addictive and so so good
