"Diana... How were you able to find out about the enemy?" Jasyn asked as they crouched down behind a big tree. They could see their enemies surrounding their tents in a bid to do a surprise attack.
"Instincts," Diana answered. She was not about to tell Jasyn that she was a wolf just like him. "Where I come from, we have a special call for battle. How we can tell that our enemies are close by is because we have learned all their special and secret codes."
"Codes?" Jasyn asked, chuckling. "Is this the police or what?"
"Don't mock me, Jasyn." Diana scolded. "I did a better job than you could do."
Jasyn's face went blank. "Why is Eugene always coming for you? You never really told me how you got to know him."
"I did," Diana replied immediately. "I did tell you that Eugene found me standing up for a friend of mine while she was being harassed in a public kitchen and he was intrigued."
"Must have thought you were an enigma," Jasyn commented sarcastically, a way to show him that he wasn't buying what she was saying.
Diana smirked. "He still thinks it is."
Jasyn scoffed. "Like hell, I would buy that."
"It's up to you," Diana said, getting up from the ground. "Perhaps it's just too expensive and you can't afford to buy it, so you choose to pretend not to believe it."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to my tent. I forgot something."
Jasyn got up as well. "You can't go, it's too dangerous for you."
"I'm sorry but sitting here with a man who tried to force himself on me is even more dangerous than going to my tent, knowing I'm being watched by my enemies!"
Jasyn sighed. "Diana, that was a mistake I swear. Yolanda said something to me and I lost control of myself."
"Lost control of yourself?" Diana repeated. "Why would you lose control of yourself when you're the chief commander of the army?"
Jasyn scowled. "What do you mean by that? Why are you referring to my position?"
"Because, Jasyn, before you can become the commander... As a commander, you have to know and master the art of controlling your emotions. I stand to be corrected, but I feel as if the army of Fraco needs a lot of training."
"You seem to know so much about the army, have you been a militant?"
Diana smiled. "Not at all, Jasyn."
"I have never been in the army, I have only served someone who decided to train his army."
"You were a slave?" Jasyn asked. "Where do you come from?"
"Slave? I said I served. Where I come from, we see assistance as service. I wouldn't say I assisted him, I would say I served him. My assistant served me too."
"How nice," Jasyn commented. "Well these people will be here till morning, we can also wait. Tell our people on your way to keep watch and not lose guard."
"I will try," Diana said, smirking. As she left, she passed Jasyn's message to the soldiers she met on her way. Yolanda scoffed immediately when she noticed her by the side.
"Yolanda, Jasyn said to tell you to be alert and not lose guard." She said, staring straight into her eyes. She knew the kind of things that riled Yolanda up and fortunately for her, they were things she enjoyed doing.
"And why should I believe you?" Yolanda asked. "It's not like you have been truthful in all our encounters."
"Yolanda, the earlier you realize that I'm the least of your problems, the better for you," Diana said. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to go. Yolanda wasn't going to allow her to just leave, she wanted to embarrass her.
"Diana!" She yelled. "Why did you hit me?"
Diana turned, staring playfully at her. "Come on, Yolanda. Even if you wanted to act insane, mentioning my name would make everyone believe it's not a play."
Yolanda turned red, her eyes filled with tears. "How could you say such a thing to me?! Is it because the chief commander has made you his concubine?"
Diana's eyes turned grim and fierce. "I dare you to say that again."
"Is it because the chief commander has made you his concur-"
Diana delivered a resounding slap to her face. The slap was so loud that their enemies heard the sound and began to retreat, thinking they had been ambushed as well.
Jasyn hurried over to the scene as quickly as he could do it safely. "what happened?"
"Commander..." Yolanda began, sobbing. "I-"
Jasyn held his hand up. "Diana, what happened?"
Diana smirked. "I came to deliver your message, she didn't want to believe me and then I told her to believe whatever she wanted and turned to go then she began to yell aggressively, mentioning my name as well."
"So I told her that if she wanted to act insane, she should remember not to mention my name. Then she said "the reason I have the confidence I have is that you have made me your concubine."
"So I'm asking you, Jasyn, am I your concubine?"
Jasyn was embarrassed by what Yolanda had told Diana. Yolanda must have done those things intentionally, hoping that somehow he would go all the way with Diana. He thought she was in love with him, how come she was trying to match him with someone else?
"Yolanda," Jasyn called softly, sighing. He didn't know what to say to her. He was weakened by her accusations. First, she had accused Diana of being Eugene's baby mama, now she was accusing her of being his concubine. Which was he going to take?
"I don't even know what to tell you!" He exclaimed. "Come with me, the enemies have left. They will return again but for now, follow me to my tent. We have a lot to discuss."
Yolanda sobbed silently, the slap had truly hurt. Jasyn led her to his tent where she sat on a chair. He pulled his chair close to where hers stayed and sat beside her.
"Yolanda, tell me why you have decided to pick on the new soldier," Jasyn said softly. "What has she done that I'm unaware of?"
"Look, the thing is that she's stealing your attention," Yolanda exclaimed. "I have been with you, served you, did everything and I was able to get you to spare me more than a glance."
"Jasyn, you used to care about me, what happened? What went wrong? Everything was all about me when it came to you, but since she joined the army, your attention has been divided."
"Is she that beautiful? Is it because she's strong? Or perhaps because she has a son? I don't know what it is, but I can match up!"
"Yolanda, hear yourself out!" Jasyn exclaimed. "How can you even accuse me of such?"
Yolanda sprang up from her seat. She walked over to his tent and zipped the opening shut. She walked back to where he sat and stood before him.
"Listen to me, Jasyn. You are mine, and if you won't let me have you, I will take you." She stated. "Now, get up."
Jasyn stared at her, wondering what had gone wrong with her. Perhaps just as Diana said, she was ill mentally.
"Yolanda-"
Yolanda unbuttoned her shirt and took it off. She unhooked her belt and took it off, throwing it haphazardly. She took off her trousers and was only clad in a singlet and her underpants. Jasyn was surprised by how she had undressed before him, almost as if she planned it.
"Now Jasyn, get up and undress. If you don't, I will tear my singlet and scream rape."
Jasyn scoffed. "Who will believe you?"
"Diana," Yolanda said. "Of course, she will believe me, because you have also attempted to rape her."
"I did not attempt to rape her!" Jasyn growled, springing up from his seat. "You caused it."
"Then pay me back." Yolanda dared. "I dare you."
Jasyn lost all rationality when he saw her pull her singlet down. Truthfully, he used to fantasize about Yolanda until he met Diana. Diana became his fantasy and when Yolanda pricked his sore spot, he lost it.
He unbuttoned his shirt and threw it off, taking off his pants and boots. Yolanda was already stark nude before him. Jasyn rushed to grab her and the moment his hand came in contact with her bare skin, he lost the remaining bit of his sanity.
Diana was in her tent with Fifi, Tisha, and Julitta.
"Have you seen Commander Yolanda?" Tisha asked. "I last saw her following commander Jasyn to his tent. I think she was in trouble because I saw her crying."
Julitta chuckled. "She was only crying because Diana had slapped her hard."
Fifi giggled. "I don't know what she did but it serves her right. Ah, feel so good for her to be put in place."
Diana smiled. "Guys, don't do that."
"What?" Tisha asked.
"That thing where you make me feel good for hurting someone," Diana answered.
The girls stared at her for a few seconds in silence and then they all burst out laughing.
"Look at you acting all humble," Tisha said. "You proud ass woman!"
"Yeah yeah." Diana nodded. "Mock me all you want."
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Fifi suddenly asked. "Feel like someone is getting laid!"
Diana's cheeks turned slightly red. She could hear it loud and clear and that was because of her super hearing ability. It felt to her as if she was right in the room with them, eh?
"Oohh... Who do you guys think it is?" Fifi asked. "I would say it's Gary and Simone."
"What?" Julitta demanded, never! "Maybe Paul and Leticia. Those two can never keep their hands off each other."
Tisha giggled. "I would say it's Ryan and Monica. I caught them yesterday and I bet they decided to go through now that we're free."
They all turned to Diana. "Who do you think it is?" Fifi asked.
Diana scoffed. "Think? I will tell you who it is and I can place a thousand coins on it."
"What?" Julitta demanded. "That's a whole lot of money. How about we all bet fifteen gold coins, whoever wins gets it all."
"Deal!" Tisha agreed immediately.
Fifi nodded, grinning widely. Diana smirked.
"Sure y'all wanna ride this boat?" She asked. "If I tell ya, don't be surprised."
"Go on, tell us who your couple is." Julitta urged. "We can as well know if the bet will hold or not."
"It's Yolanda and Jasyn," Diana said, smiling widely. The three girls burst out laughing. They couldn't believe that was her mighty guess.
"Diana... How could you even suggest that? If Jasyn ever laid hands on Yolanda, I would bow to you and kowtow to you seven times." Tisha said.
Fifi nodded, still giggling. "You know what? I'd give you fifty gold coins if you're right!"
"Me too!" Julitta exclaimed.
Diana smirked. "Fools. Let's go sneak a peek, shall we?"
The girls agreed and they followed Diana out of the tent. They went to Ryan's tent and it was dead quiet. They passed by Paul's tent and the guys were cracking jokes with each other. Tisha and Fifi began to feel their heartbeat increase its pace. What was going on? Why did they suddenly have this gut feeling that Diana was right?
Gary's tent was quiet and so was Simone's. They all turned to Diana who held a big smirk on her face. It was like she had planned the entire event.
"Calm down, there's still a chance that all of us were wrong," Tisha whispered. But as they neared Jasyn's tent, the sound of Yolanda's cries was getting louder.
"We can't be sure she's the one if we don't peep," Tisha said.
"Jasyn..." Yolanda cried out.
"Shhh!" Came Jasyn's strained voice. "If you keep shouting, people will come. How will you want them to look at you, huh? Commander Yolanda fucking with Commander Jasyn?"
Their faces turned red.
"I don't care, at least it would teach that bitch Diana a lesson."
"The bitch can hear you," Diana said aloud. Fifi, Tisha, and Julitta had their mouths open in shock. Nobody expected Diana to be so brave. What was going to happen to her now?
