past life 2

Camille arrived at the mountain, after taking out two of the bandits that were standing in front of the mountain's cave guarding it to alert others of any intruders, she gained smooth access into the cave .

She noticed the cave has many tunnels, after some minutes of combing the cave she found the three girls tied to a rock at a corner inside the cave , after examining the three of them , she found no possible threat on them , she cut loose the rope with a dagger she strapped in her boots and freed them . they left the cave together for the helicopter with Camille turning at intervals to check for any possible threats.

All the way down the mountain her mind wasn't at rest , she found the cave rather suspicious , to be empty with only two men guarding the entrance, but she had no time to check it out and the safety of the girls came first.

But tried to keep her fears at bay but her curiosity would have none of it, she beckoned on the girl she figured would be the little girl's sister based on the little girl's description.

The oval faced girl with bruises on her face , possibly inflicted on her by the bandits. stopped, turned to face her, with her face staring at the earth she rubbed her palms nervously.

" You are saved now ok?, do you see that helicopter over there ", she pointed at the waiting helicopter for the young girl to nod.

" your sister is in it and am taking you both home to meet your parents after a cross examination on you at the hospital ". Camille reassured her for the bruised girl to give her a forced smile.

" I can't thank you enough for coming to our rescue, we are grateful " she raised her clasped hands together and gave Camille a bow , the other two girls followed suit.

" You're welcome, I am just doing my job, you should be thankful to the government not me" Camille explained with a smile.

" I have a few questions for you, hope you don't mind answering them" She needs all the information she can get to report back to her Captain

" no, of course not! we would love to answer your questions"

" They men that took you , where are they? "

" They ran away when the heard gunshots" the girl answered, still shivering from what she experienced in the cave.

" How many were they ?"

"They were six , and their leader made it seven men" Camille nodded and thanked them for the information, she escorted them back to the helicopter.

Peter, her second in command, on sighting his commander jumped down from the helicopter with the little girl who had been crying non stop in his arms. She wriggled free from Peter and ran to meet her sister and the kind auntie.

Camille smiled upon seeing the little girl running towards them with her arms wide open. But her smile faded when a bullet whizzed past her ears ,aiming for the little girl, Camille acted swiftly and shielded the little girl with her body , for the bullet to hit her chest closer to her heart , blood spluttered and stained the little girls face .

The last thing she saw and heard was the shouts of her men and the exchange of bullets.

" Sorry Ben ,I won't be able to pick you up today, not in the future". She said and she closed in on death.

' She died on duty while protecting a civilian'

. Camille tried picking up the pieces of her past and present life, now the clothes and attires of these men made sense to her. She transmigrated to a different era.

she raised her head to heaven " Now what ? " but no answers came forth , the sun was still up there shining brightly .

As a soldier she was taught how to comfort herself in awkward situations , if not she would have screamed her lungs out right now .

It occurred to her she wasn't the owner of this body , and the owner seemed to have suffered grievances at the hands of her step mother, maybe heaven sent her here to avenge that poor soul.

She met the gaze of those two men, who seemed rather confused with the look of uncertainty on her face.

"The young lady is sure really weird , it seems she really hit her head hard on those hardwood on the carriage, but I sure forked enough hays to enable her sleep comfortably " the redhead whispered loudly to the droopy eye , oblivious of the stares Camille was throwing at him.

Camille couldn't control her anger anymore upon seeing the men talking to themselves in low tones , she snapped her finger in their faces to bring them back to reality. She has a lot on her plate right now and they can't add theirs to it, because she's already having a slight headache.
