I'm alive, but who am I

Part 19, Vienna

Kelly's POV: two days later

Home isn't very far from her, and so is mom, she's going to be just as heartbroken as I am when she finds out, she may have had a hard time with Dad but she still loved him enough to have me, and a love like that doesn't just go away forever, I glance at Arthur as I think,

But we're not heading in that direction, in fact, we don't know where we're heading from here, and need to figure that out, but I don't care so long as I'm with Arthur, and I guess that makes me special because most people wouldn't stay with him after everything we've been through,

*small time skip*

We manage to find a little place for us to stay for a bit, reminds me a bit of the place me and Arthur stayed in at Konbress,

Arthur: how are you holding up?

Kelly: fine I guess

Arthur: you sure?

Kelly: honestly I'm completely heartbroken that I lost my dad, and I know my mother will be too

Arthur: I understand, but sadly time isn't a luxury we can afford, but time is something we do have at the moment, so take the time you need

Kelly: thank you

Arthur's POV:

Arthur: you're welcome

I leave and give her space, and head over to the others,

Jenny: how's she doing?

Arthur: she's heartbroken, she lost her dad so she's not doing well

Sam: I can understand a little but it's different for her

Varren: same here, it's different for us all

Arthur: you're right, but out of us all, I've lost the most in my life, but it's not a competition, but we have more pressing matters at hand, what's our next move?

I look around and see everyone, and see the looks on their faces, none of them have a clue of what to do next, not after what's happened to us,

Jenny: I don't want to be the one to say this but I will, is it an option for you and Kelly to leave?

Arthur: what do you mean?

Jenny: I mean we go our separate ways, I know I'm the reason why you've got more help but now seeing the lengths they're willing to go, back in the forest...

Varren: back when she was still a mercenary, we came under mortar fire and she was trapped under rubble and I had to dig her out, it gave her a sort of shell-shock PTSD

Arthur: I understood, and it takes courage to admit and say the hard truths

Sam: you and Varren can leave if you feel like it, but I still have an obligation and promise to keep

Arthur: no, it's actually a good thing you brought it up, I've been thinking about it a little and it might make things better, me and Kelly disappear into the Alps, or honestly another idea similar to my last plan...

Sam: and what's that?

Arthur: I turn myself in and you all cross the border, Kelly wouldn't like it one bit but it might be the only way to keep you guys safe

Varren: we don't have to decide now, we're safe for now but we'll have to move on soon

Sam: agreed, we'll discuss this later, but for right now we should get some rest, we've all had a rough time recently

Jennifer's (suit 3) POV:

Well it seems my time with those two wasn't a complete waste of time and resources, but I got what we needed, those two are going away for a long time, and I might have a mutual ally who might help us,
