Strange war

Chapter 2

We arrived at the camp within a couple of hours. When we got back it was at least 7:00p.m. Spitfire was still assleep to my reilief. Considering all the pain she was in and probely will be when she wakes up. Anderson walked beside me the whole time. When the base was in sight he asked "So you think Comander Earl will let her stay?"

"I dont know Anderson. But i didnt get a chance to thank you for helping her so thanks." I looked over and he had a smile on his face. "No problem Jerry. Look theres base camp." He pointed at the base camp of Bravo company.

When we got to the entrance there was an applause for us since we managed to complete a mission that most squads would have failed at. But they stoped when they saw what I was carreing in my arms. Some of them got thier guns ready being marines ready to kill anything. But one look at them and they knew that this creature wasnt for killing.

Then I saw Cmdr.Earl comeing our way. Spitfire was basicly as light as a small dog to my surprise. So with one arm I held her while with my other arm I saluted. "Sir." We all said in unison when he came by. "At ease soldiers...my my my Pfc.Jerry looks like you brought us a friend. Shes a survivor of the 'Tourutre hous' isnt she?" I dont know how he knew spitfire was a girl but I wasnt gonna ask.

"Yes sir she was....toutured preety badly and she was the only survivor of the house. I dont know how but shes still alive and with your permission I would like to take her to the medical tent and see if there's anything the medics there can do." To my surprise he smiled and noded. "Of course Jerry. But shes yours to take care of so if she does to much damage then its on your head. Got it?" I nodded with a salute. "Sir yes sir."

When i got to the medical tent and entered it i saw that all of the medics and assisstants were stareing at me. I went to where the main docter was. "Hey doc."

"Hey Jerry..... um whats that in your arms?" I looked down at spitfire still sleeping in my arms. She was the cutest thing i have ever seen in my entire life. I looked back 'Doc' and said "Shes a pegasus and her names Spitfire and how i know this is because she can talk. No joke she can talk....but right now shes to weak to speak. Is there anything you guys can do to try and at least help her the best you can?"

There was a short pasue before 'Doc' made a long sigh. "I guess we can try our best. Put her on that table over there and we'll get to work. When we are done i'll personaly come and get you ok?" I noded as i went to the bed he directed me to go to. I placed spitfire on the bed gently so not to wake her up. She slept soundly as if nothing happened to her at all. I couldnt help but smile to myself. I turned to the Doc. "Thanks for doing this Mac and please come get me no mater where i am ok?" He looked at me confussed a little but nodded. "Alright will do Jerry."

"GO GO GO MOVE MOVE MOVE" Gunfire was happening everywhere and i couldnt see where the enemy was. I saw soilder after sooldier die in fron of me. I tried to get a better shot but couldnt the gunfire was so intence. I was scared out of my wits thinking what to do. I was thinking of going into a ball and just cream until i couldnt scream no more. Then *FWOOOOSH* BOOM*

"AHHHHH" I woke up in my makeshife bed in cold sweat looking around franticly holding my gun tightly. The ten flaps opened and standing there was Mac. "Hey Jerry shes awake and wa- are you alright?" I looked at him and noded. "Yeah....yeah im alright just a nightmare nothing bad." "Ok well spitfire is awake and wants to talk to you. You comeing?" I got up and went out of the tent. "Yeah yeah im comeing."

When i got to the tent i saw spitfire sitting up with a bandage on her right eye where her black eye was. She wasnt covered completly in bandages but enough to show shes been through alot. I walked over and sat in a chair beside her bed. "Hey spitfire how you holding up?" She looked at me and smiled. "Im doing ok but my eye still hurts so does my legs but other than that im good." She said all this with a smile. I almost forgot how serious her wounds were before we arrived. "Thats good to know. But something is bothering me though...how in the world did you arrive here and of all places iraq?"

She looked at the ground then i saw a tear form in her good eye. 'Damn it Jerry you just opened up and old wound you dumbass.' "Um look spitfire if its to much we can wait sorry if it was to soon." She shook her head. "No no...its ok its just....I lost a close friend when we got here." I put my hand on her shoulder or what i thought was her shoulder. "Hey its ok...look we can wait a little longer before you tell me ok?" She looked up at me and nodded. "No i have to tell you now while its still fresh in my mind and it'll hurt later if i keep it hidden inside."

"Ok spitfire its up to you now or later." I patted her shoulder to show her i was there and would try to help her in any other way i could. "Alright well first off you should know his name. He was part of out flight group 'The wonderbolts.' His name was Sorian."
