Strange war

Chapter 5

After about 3 minutes spitfire finaly managed to calm down enough to move around. I looked down at her as she looked up at me her eye puffed up and pink from her sobing. I wiped away the small tear trail that was still left from her good eye. I could clearly see that she was in a more frightend state than from before. She was shaking preety badly as well. I had to pick her because she was so shocked. Then i saw Cmdr.Earl comeing towards me and to my surprise he didnt look like he was gonna murder me.

"PFC.Jerry oh thank god your ok because we lost a few men after that attack....and why are you carrying that thing?" He pointed at spitfire who was still shaking a little bit in my arms from the recent attack.

"Look sir i know that im probely gonna get my ass chewed off for doing this but i dont care what you say sir. She's a civilian in my book and i think i should keep her safe by any means neccessary." I stood there looking him in the eyes not careing what would happen to me at all. He just chuckled at what i said. I stood there very confussed and was wondering if he was just being nice just to lash out at me. But he didn't.

"Heh heh yeah i kinda figured that earlier today when you literly stood up to me and i dont find that in anyother marines like you. But well sorry to say this we kinda lost alot of good men today. We're being pulled off of this location for at least a week at our main base further back the line." I nodded feeling a huge relif from finaly being pulled off the line for at least a week. But then i looked around the ruined base. Flames everywhere and i saw several dead marines plus wounded. I looked at earl.

"Um i know that this might seem wierd to ask but do you think you can hold spitfire for a little bit while i check on the marines?" I didnt wait for a response i just gave him spitfire. "Thanks and be careful she is still preety shaken up." I then ran towards the closest wounded marine who was lucky he wasnt killed from his wound. The bullet had entered his...well his ass. I did my best not to laugh at what had happened to him but i just couldnt help but chuckle to myself.

"Alright now heh i think youl be ok private." I pated him on the helmet. The next marine wasnt even close to being comicly wounded. The bullet had entered near his neck and was loosing blood fast. I already knew the guy was gonna die from past experince, but a frantic new medic was doing his best to save his life. I looked around and saw nothing but death and pain. Very few marines weren't shot. That attempted invasion was worst than i thought. I looked back at the wounded marine and saw that he was dead already, but the poor medic thought he was still alive. I knelt down placeing my hand on his shoulder.

"Hey private you need to stop he's gone man....private?" He had tears streaming down his face then he yelled back without looking at me. "I CAN'T HES MY LITTLE BROTHER!!! COME ON JOHN COME ON!!"

That was hard to take in even for a hard core veterin. I shook him a little until he realized that his brother was long gone. I just got up to leave him to mourn over his dead brother. I got used to this kind of stuff seeing it almost everyday for two years does that to you.

I then saw my whole squad still alive and well. "HEY GUYS!!" I ran over waveing my hand so that they saw me clearly.

"HEY JERRY!!!" They all said at once...except for sarge which i didnt care a bit for. I was happy for a moment seeing all of my close friends still alive and kicking. But then i heard several mouns of the wounded and some crying from other marines who lost close friends. I lit out a sigh as i looked back at my men.

"So how long until the helicopters come in to get us out of here?" I was asking the whole group this question. Then i saw Earl comeing carying the now sleeping spitfire. I couldn't help but chuckle as i saw how peaceful she looked even after what happened. I could here other chuckles from the rest of the squad.

"Um...here Jerry you can take her back." He slowly gave her to me so that we wouldn't wake her up from her sleep. Then it hit me.

"Oh crap i just remembered something...how are we gonna get spitfire into our main base without them exparementing on her?"

Sarge just laughed. "HA well that wouldnt be such a bad thing if you ask me because first of all, you seem more interested with keeping that thing alive than your own fellow marines and plus what good will she do. Sorry i mean what will this cunt do for us if shes still alive? Huh?!!" I just stared at him and if i wasnt holding spitfire i would've punch that peice of shit in the damn mouth. But i didnt have to. Out of nowhere Earl, yes cmdr.Earl punched Sgt.Sarge right in the mouth. Hard enough that i heard it and he fell to the ground. We all looked at him surprised.

"I dont care if shes some sort of creature or a goddamn alien. If she didnt hurt us in anyway or tried to then we should help her the best we can. Dont worry Jerry i'll make sure she gets better medical attention and stays safe. But yoy have to keep and eye on her. So from here on out anything she does that would get her in trouble you get punished got it?" I smiled and saluted qucikly.

"Sir yes sir." Then thats when i heard the coppers start to come in. This was the end of day one. How much more will she have to go through?
