I leaned out my window to my cart and watched all the woman wave goodbye to their soldier boys,"WILLOW BE SAFE!" I cracked a smile at my best friend Kylie,"GOODBYE WILLOW!" I waved goodbye to my friend as the train started to move,"Pardon me but are you a nurse?" I looked to see a boy same height as me, brown hair, brown eyes and he had a slight accent,"No I am a soldier." I pulled my brown hair into a pony tail/bun,"Are you?" He leaned forward out of curiosity,"Yes sir I am."
"Well my name is Desmond Doss."
"Hi Desmond, my name is Willow Quarts."
"It's very nice to meet you Willow."
"And you."
The time skip to the barracks
"And this is the soldiers barracks. And ma'am if you followed me to the nurses-" I pulled out the letter the commander had sent me,"Here." I handed the letter to the man and followed Desmond into the small building,"Your a stubborn little girl are you?" I pulled the paper out of the mans hands,"No I am not, but as it states here, and I quote,'My dearest willow I am very happy to have you in my army, you are a very skilled woman in hand-in-hand combat and using guns, I cannot express me joy to have you in my corpse! But until I see you a farewell and a safe journey!' See the general knows what he's doing." I folded the paper up and placed it into my pocket to my khakis, I had a white button up shirt also on with suspenders,"Yes ma'am." The man left and I turned around to face Desmond,"So you know the General?"
"Yes indeed, he and my father are friends!" I clapped my hands together,"Shall we get set up?" Desmond started to laugh,"You really are something-" he was cut off by a tall man who was well built, had dirty blonde hair, and blue eyes,"Hey there my names Smitty." He pushed Desmond away,"Why don't you-" I looked at Desmond and helped him up,"You should know that I won't let you pick on my friend."
"Or what? Honey your to small to take me on-" I punched him straight in the nose,"What was that about me not being able to take you on? You should know that I wouldn't have come here if I didn't know how to fight!" I snapped and helped Desmond fully onto his feet,"GENERAL!" Everyone went to their beds and saluted the man, but Desmond and I didn't have a bed so we stood their awkwardly,"At ease soldiers." I stiffened up and saluted him as he walked in front of me,"State your name!"
"Willow R. Quarts!"
"Yes, yes I know." He patted my shoulder and I loosened up.
