Theres a time for everything.And everyone.I guess right now isn't my time..But like my dad always told me;Stay strong little soilder,All bad leads to good.I know my heart can take this all.
Drums started off in the background.I sat under a oak tree watching the soilders march towards town.They looked so straight and strong,like they have never been broken.Not once.The red uniforms and brass buttons glowed in the dim twilight.
I continued to gaze in amazment.I don't know why I have always been so facinated in war.Peace was the best part.When the happy ending comes.Like a story-book.I was wearing my finest yellow and white dress.My black hair was drew back into a ponytail,though my hair was short enough.
I was 6 years old.A orphan living in a foster home with 13 other children.I felt like I could trust them all,like a real family,though not a soul there was related.
"Hi Pax."said a voice.Paxton was my name.I turned and looked.There stood a black haired boy.He was wearing a black shirt and some pants.His eyes were teal blue.
"Hi Cory."I replied smiling.He was one of the kids in the foster home.He was my favorite.Cory was 7 years old but always played with me.I patted on the ground next to me.
"Come sit.I am watching the soilders march out to town.They inspire me."I said dreamily.Cory smiled and sat next to Paxton.
Together me and him sat watching the soilders march past.Though we all knew very well what was coming next.War.
I awoke the next morning in a hurry.The earth moved beneath my feet sending me to the ground.When I got back up I heard the sound of gunfire and bombs dropping.Kids were screaming and sobbing around her.
Robbie,the oldest kid,Was carrying Matthew and Mary.Justin was sobbing on the ground.I went to see what was wrong but was to shocked.I screamed for I saw blood on the floor next to Justin.His leg was awkwardly twisted and had blood ozing all over.
Mrs. Jangle came in imediatly and grabbed hold of Emily and Belle.She turned and saw Justin with his bleeding leg and almost dropped Emily.She ran out the door and went down the stairs.Right outside the door was men shooting at other men.
Mrs.Jangle went out to the bomb shelter and put The two kids in followed by Robbie.They ran up again and I looked up.Robbie grabbed me and Justin,holding Justin carefully.He ran and put us into the shelter.I looked around.
Emily was crying next to Mary.Matthew was hugging Belle.Justin was screaming in pain.I was the only one not crying.I don't know why.I almost seemed used to war.
Mrs.Jangle returned again with Lauren and Cory.Cory came over next to me and hugged me.I wasn't sure why,but I just hugged back.Lauren seemed tramatized.She sat in her bloodstained black dress,staring at all the crying children.
Robbie came back with Kim and Jesse.Kim was sobbing and saying "Mama.."repeatibly.Jesse gave a struck dumb look like he usually did,but ended up in tears.
Mrs. Jangle came back with Lindsey,the baby.That was 12.Who was still out there?Matthew swiped away his tears and looked at Mrs. Jangle.
"W-Wheres P-Patrick?"Matthew stammered.Robbie looked around and quickly ran back into the house.I
I stood up and went after him.I tripped and fell.I glanced around.I couldn't hear a single thing.I saw men shoot then seconds later,fall to the ground dead.My muscles were frozen in the shook of it all.War was interesting,if it lead to peace.My eyes clouded up but I quickly shook myself.
I sat in the middle of the batlle field,completly blinded by distraught.Would the pain never end?
