Bound by Love

Alexander

Every soldier stood straighter and saluted as General Marsh walked by.

He was going to station us finally.

"Soldiers!" He yelled, saluting us.

"Yes, General Marsh!" We all yelled.

He looked at us all. "You will be stationed at high security Ravenhold Prison."

We all heard of that one, some officers were jumped by groups of prisoners, all officers in their right mind were scared of that place.

"Yes sir!" We all answered with unsureness.

He nodded. "You will be leaving tomorrow morning, get some rest soldiers!"

"Yes sir!" We shouted, waiting for him to walk away.

As soon as he did we all slumped and looked at each other with worry.

"Ravenhold? Isn't that a bad one?" Asked the youngest soldier, Walter, we call him Walt.

Shawn was the oldest at 52. "They're all bad Walt!"

The three men next to me, Cedric, Brad, and Christopher, started laughing.

"Boys! It's not funny, we have a job to do." A rough, scratchy woman's voice said.

We turned to see Amy.

Her strawberry hair falling out of her bun, with her usual hard stare.

"Yes ma'am." They said in unison, looking embarrassed.

She then looked over at Walt.

He shriveled up, he always did.

"Your group was stationed where?" She asked.

He gulped and said in a voice as quiet as a mouse." Ravenhold Prison ma'am."

She nodded. "That place is creepy, me and my group got stationed when I was younger than you and almost everyone got beaten by the prisoners, so you all should watch each other's backs."

Walt looked at me and I looked at him.

"Yeah, thanks Amy." I said, eager for her to leave.

She nodded and walked away.

"Alright Walt, wanna be partners?"

He looked at me with an understanding.

"You watch me, I'll watch you."

...

The next day

I awoke with Walt in my face in full uniform.

"Alex! It's already 6:00!" Walt yelled.

I shot out of my bunk pulling on my uniform, and boots, reaching under my bunk, pulling out my gun.

Walt and I ran as fast as we could to get in line for the bus seeing Shawn motioning for us to run faster.

We ran on the bus after Shawn panting.

Shawn looked at us with a big smile. "You made it!"

The three of us laughed.

"Yeah we did, I thought we were gonna miss the bus. Thanks for waiting Shawn." I said. He nodded. "You're welcome, wouldn't want you guys to miss Ravenhold."

We chuckled. "Oh how sweet."

He shook his head. "Get ready boys, it's a long ride."
