War Won't Break Us

Chapter 7: Well Mate Today's The Day.

**Alexander's P.O.V**

There's a few hours left till dawn. I have plenty of time to get ready but first I'm going to the tree.

#At The Tree#
The old oak looks threatening and ominous in the pale light. The small leaves sway gently with the light breeze of the early hours. I grab the low branches and haul myself up sitting in the tree I see the sunrise behind the castle. The cold stone keep becoming a graceful silhouette. I let my mind wonder. Before I know it I find myself singing:
(The wattpad video doesn't works so here's a link to song here:

My God is better than yours
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all

I followed you out in the storm
But it carried you off
And I burned every picture of yours
Was that not enough?

My gun is bigger than yours
So let's arm the masses
And see what the bastards do then
Walking tall once set us apart

Now we're down on all fours
Do you cry my name in the dark
Like I do yours

These storms are getting stronger now
Trusses all bend and sway
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray
As the waves crash high
And the shoreline disappears
I will scream to the sky
"Hey, people live here."

My dreams are not unlike yours
They long for the safety
And break like a glass chandelier
But there's laughter and oh there is love

Just past the edge of our fears
And there's chaos when push comes to shove
But it's music to my ears

May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
May these winds be always at your back

'Cause when we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
We will look at the ashes
And say, "People lived here."

From the penthouse to the holy martyr
Sea to shining sea
From the coffins full of kindergarteners
Is this what you call free?
From the hate that drips from all your crosses
Are your hands so clean?

There's a wildfire and it's spreading far
From sea to shining sea

When we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
I will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the sky
Yeah I'll scream to the sky
"Hey people live here"
(Let's just ignore the power, kindergarteners and guns etc..)

The birds sing merrily. Looks like I'm going to have to get ready...

**Ross's P.O.V**
Kim and I just sat in silence at breakfast. She wanted to get up early to see us off. Now we're sat on the food in front of the fire. I'm all ready. My armour is done, my sword by my waist. I snake my arm around her waist. She relaxes and leans into my shoulder.
"I'm going to miss you." She whispers her voice unstable and shaky.
"Me too."
I look down at Kim. Her deep brown eyes stare back at me. Each eye a beautiful universe filled with kindness and gentleness.The one woman I love. My world. My universe. My wife.

I lean down and kiss her sweet lips. Vowing to myself that today wouldn't be the last time I felt her lips on mine. We will win this war. War won't break us.

**Christopher's P.O.V**
"Ow! Ow Judith that's too tight!!" I yell.
My sister looks up at me. "Sorry!" She yells back. "Thank the Lord that was the last piece of armour. I'd be wounded before I've even started fighting!"
Judith goes to slap me on the shoulder but her face fills with instant regret when her hand smashes against cold hard metal.
"Forgot about that..." She says cradling her hand.
"How can you forget about something you've just put on?!" Adam asks laughing.
"Shh Adam don't question my logic!"
"There'll never be one like you Judith." Adam replies.
I turn and look at Adam we're ready to go. Without thinking we exchange hugs with our family.
"You ready?" I ask.
"Yeah."
"See you on the other side guys!" I shout as we shut the door.

And we begin the long walk to the battle field.

#Ross's Castle#
**Alexander's P.O.V**

Ross and I meet on the stairs outside the castle entrance. Our horses prepared and ready.
"Well mate, today's the day!" Ross says. His voice appears happy but his body language suggests otherwise.
"Yeah."
I watch as he kisses Kim one final time. We shake hands get on our horses, wave goodbye and leave. Our army following closely behind. We plan to reach the battle field today and fight tomorrow. Soon this dispute will be over. I will find Christopher. We will be reunited be it dead or alive.
