WHAT IF? (THE 5TH WAVE)

The squad part 1

"You will be assigned a squad, and work hard to get you and your team to the top understood?" Vosch asked as we walk  threw the corridor of the main base camp. He continues without letting me answer. "You will train hard and long until you master your fighting skills, your firearms, and learn to lead your squad to victory."

"Sir, yes sir."I say remembering when I answered him with a simple reply and he snapped at me and demanded I specify him as 'sir'.

Sam replied the same as he grippes my hand, he wasn't holding bear anymore. When I noticed this guy would probably not allow sam with a stuffed bear I shoved it in my bag. They let me keep my bag but inspected it first before letting me go. I didn't have anything valuable but it still felt like it should stay with me. And because I didn't have any clean cloth, they gave us a pair of camouflage jumper suites and night cloth which technically were just a plain black shirt and camouflage pants.

"You will be assigned to squad 53" He says pointing at Sam."And you" He says turning to me."will be assigned squad 19"

I don't think so "I'm sorry sir, but I cant do that, I must stay with my brother at all time, sir."

He stops in his tracks and turns to stare me down.
"Private you haven't even been here a day and I already hate your guts." He takes a second to inspect me."I'm sorry but I didn't know you made the rules here."

He inches closer,"You do what I say and I say you go to squad 19 and he goes to squad 53, got it private?" He says still glaring at me and now I notice I'm doing the same and decide to back down. Sam is still standing there watching us go at it.

"With all due respect sir, I can't do that sir I made a promise not to leave my brother."

"Private you better stop right there or I will rip you to peaces and shit all over you, understood?"

I knew there was no winning this battle so I backed down. "Fine" I say with a sigh and back away from him.

"Good"

We continue without a word until we stopped at a door numbered 53 in big bold letters. "Private nugget this is your squad" he told Sam. Sam looked at him confused at his new nick name. I kneel down facing him, he looks at me as he huggs his stuff close to him.

"Can we get a minute.. Sir." I ask turning away from Sam to look at Vosch.

He turns away from us, "Make it quick private" he says as I turn back to Sam.

"Here" I say as I take bear out from my bag. He takes it from me and looks at it for a while before he places it on my lap.
"You take it." He says and I do.

I look at him confused "You don't want take him with you?"I ask and he shakes his head.

I smile at him and kiss his forehead and he hugs me"I love you Cassie" he tells me.
"Me too Sams." I reply.

"Okay private nugget get to your squad." He says motioning to the door "and remember, lights out by 2300 and you must be up by 0500 hours understood?" He asks him and we look at him confused.

What the hell is he talking about?

He looks at us for a while before answering my mental question. " Lights out by 11:00 and you must be up by 5:00 a.m. understood?" Sam nods his head repeatedly and walks threw the door. As he does I could see a glimpse of the back of a girl about a year or two older than Sam. And a few boys maybe 12 or 13 of age. There are also 3 other kids about my age but one of them looks familiar. He looks injured, he could be the one I saw when we were outside. He's facing a wall and is folding cloth on the bottom of a bunk bed to my right.

Thump.

The doors closes shut before I could see anymore." Follow me private breeder"
I glare at his back as we continue to walk down the hall.

We finally halt as we reach a door with a sign numbered 19

"Okay Private you get the gist, and don't get into any trouble, this squad has worked hard to get to were they are now and they don't need an overprotective, dim witted girl to ruin this for them, understood?"

Great, so he technically just told me that I'm going to fail everyone, oh and that I'm stupid. My hatred toward him has now doubled.

To try to keep myself from doing something I might regret- wait no, something he might regret me doing I mumble a 'yes sir' and walked threw the medal door.
