Sacrifice?

The TV went blank after this and an awkward silence lingered.

" Didn't you claim that you guys were guiding them, you just led them to their deaths" John shouted

" Easy there John, it was for the greater good and they fought knowing that they might die. You didn't think we wouldn't encounter losses if we fight them do you?"

" But still....."

" Nothing John, we are expected to make sacrifices if we want to produce results. Don't bother yourself with needless emotions" Jaus cut in and said indifferently.

" What!" John stood up clenching his fists and looked angrily at Jaus.

" I will leave you to think alone, you'll see many of these close up soon. Prepare yourself" Jaus said, he stood up from the chair and made way for the door.

" Later then," he said and went off.

John on the other hand still stood looking down to the steeled floor, clenching his fists and had a sullen expression. What Jaus said pissed him off but what pissed him off more was that he was right and there's nothing he could do, for now at least. After a few seconds of this, he turned back releasing his body weight, and landed on his cozy bed.

" Smells nice" he picked up the sweet cool fragrance that came from his bedsheets and proceeded to sniff them.

" I feel so exhausted and it's still morning"

'I should get going, I don't want to laze around my first day

He went for the door taking a stroll to ease his mind a bit. He walked with no sense of direction simply admiring this new place. He was now walking down a straight path, he sharply turned to the next path branching off the corner when he accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch," a feminine voice sounded, John had knocked this person off their feet. Documents appeared to have fallen off from her and were now scattered all about. He was unaffected and was only pushed back a bit

" Sorry I didn't see you coming," he said and sent down his right arm hoping the pull her back up.

" It was my fault as well, I was in a haste that I didn't see you coming," she said and accepted his hand to get on her feet. Immediately he did this, he went for her papers scattered around and picked them carefully, she as well joined him.

"I think that's everything," John said

" Yes!"

Just as she replied, his eyes met her. He hadn't noticed due to the sudden obstruction but he just did. The woman before him was ravishing, with her dark chocolate skin, her brown eyes, her curly short hair, full pink lips, and her average height. She was slim and was further supported with her lab coat that gave professional look. It was love at first sight or perhaps infatuation as John stared unknowingly at this woman.

Seeing that he was lost in his thoughts, she went past his side and continued walking.

" Hey, what's your name?" John easily turned back to reach the woman but she wasn't there.

" There's no use worrying about it, I'll meet her again," he said

"More importantly, I should see Jaus right away"
