The waves crash against the boat. The tinging against the boat almost sound's like rain, I see a lil flashes up at the top of the hill. I hear men, crying out in pain. I feel my stomach twist, and turn. Sweat, drips down my forehead. I wipe it away with my dirty shaken hand, I look over to my mate after hearing, a thud. He grunts, and his hand goes to his chest and cover's the wound. He falls to his knee's, I yell out and go, to help him but something fall's into my arm's.
It was the soldier in front of me, I look into his eye's, too see them wide, and lifeless, and had a hole in the middle of his head. I close his eye's then I lay him down. I hear the general, yell out orders to jump out of the boat.
I grab William, and throw's him over my shoulders, he grunt's in pain "Sorry, mate." I say calming him.
I, jump out of the boat and into the ice, cold water. with William holding onto him, tight.
We get the the shore of the beach, I start to run and look for cover. I see men dropping like fly's, I run and find to Cover, I finally find cover.
"Don't worry, William I'll get you out of this alive!" I yell out over the gun fire.
"Mason, I won't make it" he weakly say's.
I shook my head, and grabs some bandages and press them down on Williams, chest to stop the bleeding.
"Mason, Go.Get.Out of here. Leave me, I'm slowly dying. . ." he smile's weakly at me.
" I'M NOT LEAVING YOU WILL, NOT WITHOUT YOU!" Hot tears run down my Cheek's as I yell out.
He Shake's his head " you have to promise me mate, promise me if you get out of this alive, look after my girl's." Tears roll down William's cheeks. He hand's mason a photo of his wife, and daughter.
" I I promise Will, I'll look after them."
He smiles and his eye's go lifeless I close his eye's. " I'll make sure Peggy knows her father died a hero." Mason gets up and runs, as he runs he jumps over the many body's of he's man.
Once Mason is close enough to the mountain.. He feel's a sharp pain run through his chest, he cough's up blood, and drop's to the blood, staned, sand. He looks to the photo in his hand. " I'm sorry William I couldn't look after them.. Please forgive me.." He's eye's grow heavy and soon let's the darkness take over him.
