Up and over

Chapter3- The Truth

"We better go now ship leaves soon on first departure to no mans land." muttered Ivan quietly looking down. "Do recon why it's called that?" laughed Harry loudly like a drunk man leaving the pub as Elie began to tremble John placed a hand on Elie's shoulder "I will protect you you can be a little brother to me mine died a few seconds after birth I always wanted one when we get there stay by me." Whispered John as Elie nodded quickly. "Hurry the hell up all ready move it Freddie my boy before I move you!" Yelled Darren from the back marching through everyone without a care in the world as Fred moved aside allowing Darren to pass through as Darren smirked and got onto the ship before everyone.

At the port was the whole town Elie saw his mother crying she knew that Elie signed up he would have to as a male but even so she planned on hiding her son but it was too late. All she could do was pray if she would ever feel the warmth of her baby boy's hand again or if he would be eliminated physically or by the scars of war she knew how Inhumane it was and how her husband succumbed to his death. "Elie return to you may God be with you Mum loves you always!" Cried out Elie's mother in tears as Elie boarded the boat he wondered why his mother was crying "Mum why are you crying? I'm going to be a hero!!!" He responded confidently hoping to comfort her but that made her cry more "Elie darling they lied to you you're going to die please survive..." yelled his mother as the last bloke boarded the ship and the men exchanged signals to sail on and only then did all of the men and Elie knew what they have signed up for and that was their end.

The skies turned dark as thunder roared loudly before rain lashed down dropping down Elie's face like tears dropping down his face he watched his Mum chase after the boat crying until she was out of sight this was the last time he may ever see his mother here on out Elie knew that he had to survive he was all his Mum had after loosing his Dad. Time passed and Elie began breaking down in tears when John hugged him tightly "Don't cry here on out I won't let you die I promise you Elie stay with me and I will make sure you win." whispered John as Elie cried into his chest trembling "You would really be my older brother and defend me no matter what?" asked Elie looking up at John wiping away his tears feeling a little bit better knowing that. John nodded as Darren passed through "Allow it yeah this is war not girl scouts ya know mates so pick up your snipers and move your butts off the ship we are here and Sargent Mike won't be happy with you getting shot the second you get off." Bellowed Darren as he ran off to Harass Fred and Ivan who were caring rations but they didn't know that's what they were as everyone made their way off the ship and onto the muddy cold, damp, ground. 

"I think I'm sinking..." muttered Ivan as Fred tried to pull his legs up but the mud was too deep his legs were stuck. Fred looked around for Sargent Mike who was enjoying a nice cup of warm tea. "Sir, Ivan's feet is deep in the mud and it doesn't look very healthy for an example the mud is very runny compared to other mud." Cried Fred trying his best to pull Ivan out of the mud but it was no use and Sargent Mike was calm about what had just happened. "Trudge on lads can't let the other side get here first can we now?" Announced Sargent Mike with Zest as Fred was in tears as Ivan forced himself through the mud.
