Desiree's Revenge and Choice

Chapter 4
Desiree sat in her tent looking at Ada. Her head was in her hands, and she was crying. Ada had stopped breathing, it was now two more months. She was still in Alexandria, and surprising she didn’t stop the grain from leaving for Rome. She just didn’t allow slavery. Her army was training for a different mission, and she couldn’t move till she finished. Desiree put her hand on her friend, and started crying so hard. She had very few friends, and this is what Festus did to her.
“Desiree…” She jumped as a hand was placed on her shoulder. She stiffened, cause she hated being caught crying. She never cried before, but she sat up and looked. It was Titus. He brought someone with him, and the person he had she did not recognize. She was wearing a tunic, and pants and boots. Her tiger didn’t move from her position. Ada still had burnt marks, her flesh was torn from the flogging, and holes from the start of a crusifiction. She had tried to save her life, but it proved unsuccessful.
“You are a very young leader…” The man Titus had with him was an old man in purple trim, fur, and he looked ready to keel over.
“Please, sit down.” She stood knowing she did not discount what he just said. She took her chair, and moved it for him to seat. She then realized Remus was not there. She turned to Titus suddenly, and gestured for him to sit too.
“Where’s Remus?”
“I killed him.” It was the old man. Desiree flipped out and stood. Titus stood between them.
“Wait Desiree, hear what he has to say.”
“Why should I? I let Rome have their food, I let them leave and come without problems, and you kill my messenger. I should cut you both down.” She did not grab her sword for her hand ached.
