Strange war

The year is 2018 and i've been in the USMC(united states marine corps) for at least 2 years and im only 18. Yes that means i have been fighting and killing since I was 16, drafted by the army for how bad the war is getting. Im in a squad with with some of my best friends....and with the worst person ANYONE could be with in thier lives. Thier names are as followed:

Pvt. "corpsman" Anderson. He patches us up in any bad situation and he saved my life MORE than once so im thnakful for that.

Cpl.Adam. He's one of my best friends and hes also the comedian even though he has bad jokes. Spc.Dixon. Hes the one with out M249 LMG SAW. He saved us from who knows how many ambushes with his SAW but we're grateful anyway.

SSTG.John. He's the brains of our group and is like an older brother to me and i hope he makes it home because he has a wife and 3 kids back in the states.

Me PFC.Jerry. Im the strongest of the group,but also the kindness to where if i see a wounded Iraqi kid or injured civilian i try and help them.

Then there's the asshole named Sgt.Sarge. He likes to be called Sarge for who knows what reason, but he controls our squad.

Mission 256:Investigate a possible torture house in the Villiage of Bagdahd.
Objective:Try and find any survivers and bring them back to base camp ALIVE at any costs.

We stacked up on the door me being the number 1 guy. First one to enter a house and possibly the first to get shot. Thats why i picked to be first man. "Serge ready when you are." I said above a whisper. "Roger that Jerry one three. One....Two...THREE!!!!!!" I kicked the door in then entered the house with my M416 at the ready. "Clear" I yelled while we searched the rest of the house. We checked eatch room hearing a loud "Clear". Then I saw a door and I heard someone say in Iraqi "SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH!!"

*WHIP*

They were hurting what I thought was a woman then after another hit I heard sobing and a yelp that sounded female. "SARGE OVER HERE!!!!" They rushed over to me. "Sir i think someones tourturing a woman down th-"

*WHIP*

I squezed my gun tighter ready to just go down there and kill every single insurgent down there. "Ok stack up were going down there." Said Sarge. So we did as i was ready to go down there. Right before i kicked the door down Sarge stoped me. "WAIT...here use this." He gave me the flashbang. "Thanks". I took the flashbang then yelled "Fire in the hole." I kicked the door down throwing the flashbang down the steps.

*BOOM*

"GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!" We rushed down the steps and then I saw 20 Insurgents armed with Ak47's and the tourterier holding the whip with a pistole to his side. Time seemed to slow when i fired my weapon along with my fellow marines killing all of the insurgents down there...except for the tourter. I tackled him to the ground takeing out my knife holding it to his throat. "Who the hell you think you are...hurting an inoccient woman." I said in and angry whisper. He chuckled and said in brken english "Ha ha ha you think I was hurting a woman? How can you think that when it even isn't human?" I turned my head to see what was hanging on the wall.

He was right. It wasn't human...it was something else...something diferent.

"What the hell is that?" I got up and went over to check on the thing. "Looks like a pegasus... hows that possible?" I looked back and saw the insurgent try to get up,but i shot him in the head point blank with my M416. "Nice shot!" My whole squad said at the same time. "Heh thanks. Now lets see if this thing is al-"

Its eyes shot open as it started to squrim and scream. We all jumped back scared out of our minds for once. "SHOOT IT DAMN IT!!!!!" Sarge yelled. My whole squad got ready to fire when I jumped in front of the creature be fore they fired. The screaming stopped imediatly. "NO DONT SHOOT IT!!" They lowered thier weapons confused at what i was doing. I was confussed myself but the caretaker inside of me took over out of nowhere. I love animals and i love to take care of them and for some reason...this one creature got to me.

"WHAT THE FUCK JERRY!!! YOU COULD'VE GOT SHOT!!!" Sarge was pissed off but i ignored him as i turned to the pegasus in front of me. I looked at her legs and all 4 of them seemed to have been scratch in some way. Her face was brused and she looked like she had one black eye. I dont know how i knew it was a "she" but i somehow did.

I put my kife away and let my rifle hang from its sling from my chest. I moved my hand foward to touch its leg but it let out a quiet whimper. I looked at both her eyes as i saw both fear and depression. What i did next shocked me and my team. "Can you understand me at all?" "GODDAMN IT JERRY YOU RE-"

She slowly noded her head up and down signaling she understood me. I was surprised but only for a moment. The smell of blood and gunsmoke began to fill the room. "Look...if you can undertsand me then can you talk?" She noded then said "Y-y-yes." I smiled then said. "Ok thats good..now im gonna try and help you but first we have to get you out of this basement. Do you trust me?"

I could clearly see the fear in her eyes but she noded "yes". "Ok now i have to cut off these ropes...ready?" "Yes... please be careful." I smiled "Don't worry i will." I took the knife and cut the ropes holdeing her up off. She fell over but i caught her in time in my arms. I put my knife away as i started to carry her upstairs. I found a couch i could put her down on so i did. "HEY YOU GUYS COMEING UP HERE?!" I yelled downstairs. The squad then ran upstairs to where me and this creature was. "Anderson you think you could help here?"

"Ummm.... I could try but i dont know what i could do." "Just clean the wounds and bandage them up. After this we'll take her back to base camp." Anderson noded. "Alright it'll be a little bit." Then i heard the dreaded *CLICK* I looked up and saw Sarge holding his pistole loaded hammer back aming at the creature. "NO YOU DONT!!" I got up and grabed his wrist pinning him aginst the wall makeing him drop the pistole.

"JERRY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" I was about to choke him but stoped before my hand made contact with his throat. "I saw what you were gonna do and I swear to god if you EVER try and hurt her with ANYTHING I will kill you and you know that. Im tired of seeing you kill inoccient people both kids and adults." He just chuckled. "Heh heh you think im the only one? I saw you kill children and other adults that had to guns."

It took every willpower i had to not just kill him there. Instead I punched him as hard as i could with my left hook. While he was on the ground i yelled into his face "YOU THINK I FUCKING WANTED TO!!!! I only did what you asked me to do because you said that they were armed when they weren't!"
I got up and walked over to where she was. Still on the couch basicly covered in badages. I crouched down in front of her when her eyes reopened. She gave me a small smile. I didnt see the fear that was in her eyes anymore. Then she said her name.

"My names spitfire of the wonderbolts." I smiled back at her. "Spitfire....cool name. My names PFC.Jerry. That there is Cpl.Adams." I pointed to Adam. "Hey" he said waveing his hand lightly. "That there fixing you up is Pvt.'corpsman' Anderson."

She smiled up at him and he smiled back.

"That there is SSgt.John. Hes a good guy." He miled at her and waved."Hey"

"Then there's the guy i tackled named Sgt.Sarge. Dont ask why he likes his name that way i dont know why either.

Thats when Anderson was done fixing her up. "Well now shes done. All we got to do now is get her back to base camp and they'll do better...HOLY SHIT I just realized something." "What?" i asked.

"How are we gonna get her back to base camp with the CO's permission!!??"

"Oh...that. Huh i guess i didnt think that far. Well doesnt matter im takeing her with us. The CO said bring back any survivors and thats what im gonna do." My whole squad looked at me then at Spitfire then back at me. "Fine Jerry you can take her. But your carring her not us got it?" I nodded. "Alright good. Now lets move out marines!" Sarge can be and asshole sometimes but he isnt all that bad...sometimes.

I went down and picked spitifre up gently. The way a father would carry a newborn. She then whispered "Thanks." "For what?" I was confussed. She chuckled and said "For saveing my life... more than once." I then realized what she was talking about. "Heh no problem. You should get some rest now we're a longs way from camp." I felt her nod as she fell assleep in my arms while i carried her. I couldnt help but smile lightly. I dont know why but something about her made me feel like....there was meaning in this life after all.
