Swain Affray(Love conquers all)

Chapter 7: The Girl in red

Marcus James Lanton POV

It was the seventeenth of May, when in the night time both sides would lower their fire. Our side has been listening to music being played by fellow soldiers. Mostly guitar, while everyone sang along to the songs.

I wondered if the other side was doing something similar. I would never know the answer to that question.

The thought of dying here had never had occurred to my mind, I felt it was best if I ignored that thought.

I lied down on my back looking up at the darkened sky, a bunch maybe even a millions of stars.

Last but not least I gazed dreamily at the silvery full moon. Smiling at the beauty of it all. I wondered if there was a girl as beautiful as this night, caring and smart. If there were would I meet her before another man stole her. My eyes closing, I drifted off to sleep.

************************

The morning was gloomy and foggy. It was only I; I looked for my friends Hugo, Xavier and Travis. They were nowhere to be seen.

In this fog I noticed someone in red, as if I was the blind bull. I followed that person in red. "Excuse me, where is everyone gone?" I asked them, but they continued to walk away from me. They finally halted to a stop and slowly turned around.

It was a girl in a red dress, she was definitely beautiful, but she had an air that told you she didn't really care about it. She was approximately 5'8 tall and she had shimmering black hair with hazel eyes.

She walked towards me and my mouth was left open the shape of an o. She closed my mouth for me I gulped. She was close enough, that I could feel her hot breath on me. Leaning her head closer to me, at that instant I thought she was going to kiss me.

I didn't even know who she was, but she was affecting how I breathed, I could feel my heart racing faster. Even threw I wasn't running a marathon; I wanted to kiss her badly. She pulled away, only to stab me with her dagger. Blood was rushing out of me, there was sorrow written all over her face.

"Marcus, Marcus will you wake up?" She asked.

I woke up realizing it was only a dream. Yet the dream had felt so real. I could still imagine her hot breath on me. Travis had shaken me awake.

"Mate, you were drooling in your sleep." Travis told and I felt for my mouth. There was no drool; I gave him a meaningful look. "What's the matter, for what apparent reason, did you wake me up?" I asked.

"Commander William called out twenty four soldiers, and both of our names were called." He replied, I quickly got up and Travis led the way.

*****************

Commander William told twenty-four soldiers including me, what our task was today. He also told us he didn't know what the chances of survival were. So this was basically a test, to see if we made it. I didn't think it was a good idea, but thought he wouldn't listen to me.
