I Hate War Novels & Stories

-Cole I hate him.

“Why did you bring me out here? “Stay away from him, you trust too easily. He replied. Ariel scoffed in disbelief. “I know you don't like me, but it has nothing to do with Jaques. I was having fun some moments before, stop trying to make my life miserable.” “Why would I want to make your life miserable? Your life is useless.” He replied to the distraught Ariel. She could feel her heart shatter in a million bits. His words had struck her soul. Ariel reminisced about the time she had spent at the orphanage, and how chaotic her life had been growing up. Tears pooled her eyes as all the painful memories flooded her mind. Maybe he was right after all, her life was pathetic. “Why do you hate me so

She shook her head again, her face lined with worry. “She’s a mother herself. How…what’s happened to us?” “Too much hate. Too much power,” I said. “Too much of a lust for blood and vengeance. War never makes friends out of enemies. The opposite. It solidifies that hate. The war between spears and may have been fought in our fathers’ time, but we inherit the hate, the bad blood. It doesn’t just go away. It carries down generation to generation.” “I don’t hate you.”

“It’s war.” And I don’t lose wars.

“Lucas trusts you more than anyone. I've seen my nephew, I've seen the way he regards you and the way he treats others. He is also terrified of losing you. Can’t you see that?” Her words annoyed me, not because she wasn't taking my side but because she was making unrefutable points, and I sank back onto the bed, my head in my hands. “I just... I hate this, Mom. I hate all of it. The war, the fighting, the loss. I hate that no matter what I do, it’s never enough and they would all keep dying.”

I couldn’t leave her side, could I? “H-hurry…” was the last thing luna Shar said to me before she fell limp beside me. Tears fell down my cheeks as I realised she had already passed away. I hated wars. They were unfair, cruel, and such a waste of life. What was any of it for, except to stroke the egos of those who believed they deserved more than anyone else?

she moans, playing with her nipples. I'm only half listening. What the hell is she talking about? The war was a failure? Who the hell wanted a war in the first place? I damn sure didn't! None of us wanted the war! We were only doing it to protect those we love... and to stop the Earth from dying. "Oh... Angie... I... I gotta..." I can't even finish as flashes of light blast behind my eyelids. I can't stop it, but it hurts so damn much right now! I want to quit... but I can't!

Even when I hated you, I watched everything. They say love is the antidote to war. I used to believe that. Until you. You taught me something else: that love is just another kind of war, fought in the quiet moments, in glances, in wounds that never make the skin bleed. And we bled in ways no doctors could treat.

I trail off and Zena just watches me quietly. “What?” “So you believe war is necessary for peace or that is just what your father embedded in you?” Her tone is not harsh but her words are and it irks me. These siblings have the same brain cells. “So you want us to fold our hands together while those non-human rip us apart? They’re already making the first move, soon everybody is going to be in danger. I’m still learning about them, I will get the hang of it very soon.” “I don’t like wars, I grew up in a household where going to wars, killing, giving blood for blood is normal. I don’t want such in our generation but it seems it can’t be helped,” Her shoulders sacks as she thinks about it.

I_" It has been decided,' he strangled. 'I do not love him.' 'Love is weakness in times of war. We need all the hatred we can get to win this war.' 'You can't marry me off to him, father. if you ever loved mother before you were betrothed to her, why can't I have the same privilege?' 'I was a man of war. I never gave two hoots about the word, let alone the feeling.' he had been blunt. 'But as we got to know each other, she taught me what love was, and I forever will be grateful to her.' 'I want to be wed to the man I fall in love with. Not the man you choose for me. Can't you see that?' I yelled in tears.
