I had always been a cautious person. I never got too close to danger in fear of the trouble it would get me in or the things that could go wrong.

A few days after my 18th birthday a violent war broke out and I decided it was now or never to get over my fear, so I enlisted for the army to help fight in the war.

My family didn't want me to go. The fear of losing their only child scared them. They begged and pleaded for me not to go but I just assured them I would be and not to worry.

The next day I found myself on a bus being taken for training right away. They wanted to get us on the battlefield as quickly as possible.

We were taken to a training camp. I found I was sharing a cabin with three other people. Their names were Jake, Owen, and Niki.

I found out that Jake was the oldest of the four of us. He was very protective of us, he was 23, Owen was the second oldest, he was 20, Niki was the youngest out of all of us, she was only 16.

She told us that she got her parents to give her permission to sign up for the war. We all got really protective of her, me and Jake were more protective than Owen, but Owen  was still protective.

The four of us became really close, we trained hard, we became the top of our class and the strongest in our group.
