Blood Moon

War Stories

So this is a short chapter again, it's during the camping preparing for the battle which will be in the next update! And this chap has a BIG surprise.

~~~~~

We were all gathered deep in the forest, camping out until morning when we would face our likely death.

Bella was tucking Reneesme into bed in her tent. I could hear their voices and the soft melody of a piano and cello harmonizing.

Jake and I carried a stack of logs and dropped them in the center of our "camp".

Benjamin held his fingers up and a flame danced on top of them, he whipped them off and lit the logs into a full blaze.

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Jake and I said in sync making the other look at each other.

We both made out way to a fallen tree where Ben and Tia where seated. I sat between Ben and Jake with a smile on my face.

"A little pre battle bonfire." Jake said with a grin. "Tellin war stories." He said throwing a smirk at me. "Or just standing their like fricken statues." He said, looking at the other vampires who were completely still.

I placed my hand on Jake and Ben's shoulders while reclining with a large grin.

Suddenly a deep green pulse ran through my arm and up my body then sunk into me, it originated from Ben. A maroon pulse followed after from Jake's shoulder and up.

"Dammit! I did it again! I'm sorry! I can't control it." I said.

The boys just grinned but Jake gave me a concerned look.

"So, how about those war stories?" He said trying to brush the incident off.

I frowned and scrunched my nose.
"Hm let's see, ah ha!" I said with a clap.

"It was 1942 and it was a complete down pour of rain. My best pal Riley was the doof of the a group, a lot like you Jake." I said making him glare.

"It was freezing that night and impossible to see two feet in front of you. We had lost about fifty men the day before and our numbers were dwindling. But Riley was there so I was fine. He looked out for me a lot." I said then paused.

"When I was human I was the biggest klutz, ask Emmett he'll say the same. I couldn't walk a foot wearing shoes and heels? Forget it." I continued as the other vampires started coming closer.

"It was so wet and hard to see I didn't even realize I was walking straight into an old tree stump, and something flashed right by me! Not even a few inches away I slipped on the grass, cracked my head against the stump and rolled straight over into enemy lines!" I yelled while Jake bellowed out a laugh.

"It was in a matter of seconds Riley and the rest were laughing. And when I stood I slipped again. When I finally regained my balence, I was the only one to notice the sniper off in the distance. I jumped in front of Riley and took a shot right here." I paused to gesture to my left shoulder.

"And I still had time to pick up the grenade that had been thrown at us and with a pitchers arm threw right back at their faces, literally!" I said as the others laughed began quieting down.

Garrett flashed over to another log and spoke, "Name any American battle, I was there." He said.

"Woah woah wait a minute! Where you the thing that flashed by me and made me fall?!" I yelled and he broke out into laughter. "That's not funny!" I pouted as Jake through an arm over me and laughed even louder than Garrett.
