Betrayal at its finest
[ ] "What do you want to be little boy?" Asuma asked the younger. "I want to be strong. Really strong. I want to be the strongest person alive!" The little boy claimed with glee. His eyes glistered under the moonlight. But Asuma smiled. "That means you would be the last person standing in battle?" The little boy nodded eagerly. His tiny hand shot up in the air as he celebrated his fictional victory. "I would punch and kick anyone who comes my way! Yeah!" He punched his imaginary opponent in order to show his skills to Asuma. Two left punches and a swift kick in the air before laughing innocently. "Do you know what being the last person standing means young one?" Asuma asked him once more while placing his hand on the boys head ruffling his hair. The young boy raised his head and smiled at him showing him an pearly white smile. "Of course! It means that I am the winner!" Asuma bitterly smiled back at him as he watched him chase after a butterfly. A children's innocence was all that gave him hope. "And that everyone around you is dead..."

Colonel Berry
This is the fifth volume of my award-winning Wattpad Featured Story, 'Posted As Missing', an intense adventure/romance set in the turmoil of World War One Europe. I've grown tired of blood-and-guts war stories, so I've written this series to examine deeper issues. David left the battlefields in the first chapter of the first volume of this story, and to this point, he has not returned to them. He has found far more effective ways to fight the German war machine. You might wish to read the earlier volumes in this series: 'Posted As Missing', 'Missing', 'Back in Action' and 'Watching Fritz'.Complete
