The thank you

A/N: Sorry this took so long to get out. But now here is chapter two!

(Y/N P.O.V)

I was walking around checking all the soldiers who needed medical attention. When I finished I decided to head back to the medical tent. It was small but had 3 stretchers for medical use. But before I made it there I had to check on the chief. 'Greeeaatt this is gonna be fuuunnnn, but I have to do it since it's my job'. I walked up to her and was about to ask her if she was in need of medical attention, I saw a bit of blood on her suit, and it wasn't alien. "What do you want?!"

You:"You need medical attention."

MC:"No I don't; go help the others!"

You:"I already did, and that blood coming from your suit says otherwise."

MC:"I said I am fine, so leave me alone, that's an order!"

I got a bit irritated at that, you can boss me around but never stop me from doing my job. "And I said that you are wounded, so in this situation I outrank you!!"

She was still wearing her helmet so I couldn't see her expression but I could guess she was giving me a glare. "Fine!! If it gets you to stop asking questions."

We walked to the medical tent. "I need to get my supplies so wait here for a minute, also you will need to remove your armor for me to treat any injuries."

I could tell she didn't like the idea of removing her armor, but I just went on with collecting everything. Once I had everything that I might need I returned to assess the chiefs wounds. When I got there I saw her. Standing there and her armor was set to the side. I saw her short cut brown hair and black exo suit. then I looked at her shiny blue ey-'NO! no don't think about that y/n, besides she is very much so out of your league'. I snapped out of it when she started talking. "Hurry it up, I've got other things to do."

I simply rolled my eyes and grabbed a syringe. The chief did not like that. "What are you doing!"

You:"It's just sedative, other wise it's going to hurt a lot."

Chief:"It's fine, but no sedative."

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow before putting the syringe back down. "Your choice."

I looked to see a pretty clear hole in her stomach. The wound was only a centimeter around; but still was bleeding a lot. I saw some purple shards in the wound and grabbed the forceps from the table next to me. I pulled out the tiny little shards one at a time; there were probably 13 or so. Every know and then I glanced up and saw her struggling to suppress the pain. 'This is why we use a sedative'. I pulled the last shard out after about half an hour and put it under a metal bowl with the others; then I quickly lifted the bowl and sliced a shard before putting the bowl back the way it was. There was a little thump and then silence; I wiped away some sweat. 'That is always annoying'. I cleaned the wound with rubbing alcohol. Then I grabbed a medical needle and thread for stitching. "Know here is the painful part."

She just glared, I shrugged. I then heated the needle over a candle and started stitching the wound together. I was slow and precise; never want to be too quick with delicate work. I finished stitching and started to clean the wound again so there wouldn't be a risk of infection. I grabbed bandages and gauze to rap the wound. "Ok you are all patched up; I would recommend rest but you wouldn't even if I ordered you. Just make sure not to get it infected or I will have you right back in here; and come to me if the wound reopens."

She just started putting her armor on. After she had her helmet in hand she headed for the door. "Thank you."

I shook my head. 'I must be losing it'. "W-what?!"

Chief:"I said 'Thank you', haven't you gotten a thank you before?!"

I looked down. "Well no but that's not important; you're welcome but I'm...uhm...I'm busy, yeah."

I looked down as she put her helmet on and walked out. "*Sigh* That went well."

I looked down at the papers on my clipboard. 'She has type O positive blood; if she gets injured I don't think we have any handy'. I looked through the few blood bags we had in camp and did see that we only had types A, B and AB positive/negative. "If she gets injured again it'll be nearly impossible to fix anything severe."

I sighed and walked away from the bags of blood. I decided some dinner was a good idea; so I went to the mess tent. Normally we would be picked up already and on board a UNSC ship; but the ship was still taking care of the retreating covenant 'fleet'. Though the 'fleet' was just three heavily damaged ships; our intel was wrong I suppose. I grabbed a tray of steak and potato's; along with some green tea. I went back to my tent to eat and on the way saw some guys messing with a dead hunters arm. 'Idiots'. I would tell them how dumb they are; but it's their funeral not mine. I sat down in my tent and read over the injury report. "Come in...ef...capt."

I heard the radio. I walked out of my tent and saw everyone else gathering around the radio too. The Chief answered. "Yes General what is it?"

General:"We have landed for repairs after destroying the covenant ships; but cannot send out anyone to pick you and your team up. You all will have to make it to us yourselves or hold tight for about a week."

Chief:"We will head to your position tomorrow; send the coordinates."

General:"Good luck."

The signal stopped and the coordinates were sent to the Chief. "We head out at dawn; everyone get some sleep."

Everyone pretty much sighed. 'It's going to be a really long walk'. We didn't get many vehicles since we were already so close to the objective; so there wasn't much use for them. We have 40 people, 2 scorpion tanks that hold 2-6 people, 5 warthogs that hold 3-4 people and 4 mongoose that hold 1-2 people. So if any stop working some will have to walk; or we will have to crowd the other vehicles. I went back into my tent and got into bed. "Why do I have such a bad feeling about tomorrow?"

I couldn't think of any reason why so I went to sleep. But not before an image of a map and several markers appeared in my head. 'I'll think of it after a good night of sleep'.

A/N: there's a new chapter folks. The next one should be longer hopefully. Bye!
