War Stories - Season 9

The bright light that blinded Lilith finally subsided and she found herself in a field, a field with holes everywhere, devastated trees and a few patches of grass land here and there. The devastated land seemed to reach as far as the eye allowed, at least in these bad conditions of a thin layer of fog (One could just make out some smaller hills in the of about 500 meters distance). As Lilith walked around, the dirt got very muddy and even went knee deep at some spots.

There suddenly was an explosion an Lilith was thrown to the ground a second later there was another one and after that another one.

"What the-" She thought as another explosion a couple of meters way threw her into one of the many holes. Explosion after explosion threw dirt and mud around, creating holes and more small hills. Finally the explosions stopped and everything seemed quiet, that is until there was screaming... the screaming of a large force charging. The air was still thick with with very pulverized dirt, dust and fog. One couldn't see a 100 meters and even 20 meters was hard to see anything. All she could see were figures running through the fog. She was able to catch a glimm of the uniform of one of them. It was like a gray-green robe.  For minutes there were explosions and sounds of war that Lilith has never heard, finally after about 3 minutes the same soldiers seemed to retreat. Suddenly another force ran past Lilith. This time the uniform was blue on the upper body and red on the legs. The sound of the fighting raged on for another few minutes, the explosions never stopping. Finally the same soldiers that ran after the enemy ran the other direction again, this time with much less soldiers. The explosions continued for another minute or two but suddenly stopped.

"Finally." Lilith thought as so slowly got out of the hole. Her priority was to get out of the battle zone as fast a possible, and the fog was perfect for that. She had no real idea where she was going, but what she knew where the directions the two forces ran, that's the way she won't go. She walked for minutes, everything was quiet, so quiet people would believe nothing even happened here... if not for all the dead laying around. Then there was a noise, it was quiet and faint but Lilith got closer with every step. She found a soldier in some dark robes laying there groaning in pain. Lilith jumped down and looked the soldier over, there was a bleeding wound in his right shoulder and his stomach. Lilith grabbed some of the soldiers robe and ripped out some pieces for some makeshift bandages

"You got anything to clean those wounds?" A voice asked and Lilith shook her head, the voice mumbled something

"Maggots? Right! Maggots! They'll keep the wound clean!" Fenrir shouted and Lilith nodded, she dug around dug around the hole and found some quiet a few. She used her water to clean of the mud and then laid them on the two spots and then bound them over with the makeshift bandages. She couldn't move him, for there's a high chance the wound will start to bleed even more. Which means she either leaves him here alone, with a high chance that by the next attack he will be found or she stays here with him and keeps that from happening and so she sighed as she sat down besides the soldier.

As the french attacked.

Explosions woke up Lilith and she was instantly scanning her surroundings.

French soldiers ran past Lilith's foxhole. She hoped the allies of the young soldier will scare them off and come after them. That would give her a chance to get another soldier in here, one who can inform the main force about the survivor. That plan was shattered as two french soldiers jumped in the trench, not spotting them. There was groaning from behind Lilith, the wounded soldier was waking up.

"Not good." Lilith thought as she looked between the two soldiers

"W-was? (What?)" The soldier said. The two french soldiers instantly reacted and turned around, but Lilith was faster as she slammed her sword into one of them and held away the weapon of the second one. The soldier pulled the trigger and screamed something in his language but was silenced as Lilith broke his neck... just a bit too late, for a couple of other soldiers ran at them.

"Grr... no choice." Lilith thought as she jumped out the foxhole and ran at them. She dodged the projectiles fired at her and slammed her sword into the left soldier and slammed her body into the second one, throwing him to the ground and chocked him to death. She was interrupted as another soldier shot at her, the bullet hitting her armor and bouncing off. She charged at him and killed him as well... it seemed to be a circle because every time she killed a soldier another one spotted and attacked her. Finally after soldier 28 she made it back into her hole, but by now the commanders of both sides had their eyes on her, though the french lost sight as German artillery opened fire at their position, obscuring their vision. The Germans finally pushed back the french and charged after them, as they retreated to their fortified position. One of the soldiers that ran close by Lilith's foxhole was grabbed by the succubus and pulled inside, unnoticed by the others. The soldier threw fists in the direction he thought the enemy was, for his helmet blocked his vision, but he suddenly was pinned and his helmet pulled up and revealed a unknown figure in no uniform. His head was forced to look into a certain direction and he spotted a wounded but treated soldier and the pinned soldier finally stopped struggling. Lilith let go of one hadn and pulled the soldeir on his feet and pointed at the wounded soldier and then at the fortified position. the soldier hesitated but finally nodded

"Warte noch." the soldier said in his language, Lilith raised an eyebrow, signing the soldier that she didn't understand. He signed her to wait as he raised his hand as a fist and then grabbed his coat and threw it around Lilith, making her look like a german solider... well as much as the situation allowed. About a minute later a couple of German soldiers ran past them. Now the two made their move, the wounded soldier in Lilith arms while the other soldier ran on the front right, but suddenly fell as a bullet ripped through his left leg. Lilith stopped and turned and stopped at his side, she moved her back to him with her head to jump on her back. The soldier looked at her and jumped on and with no second wasted they were off. the soldier had to hold himself on the succubus, as to not fall off. As he finally grabbed something that felt rather stabble Lilith looked at him for a second but then ahead again. The succubus was now significantly slower but was almost at the German fortification, soldiers passing them kept running, trying to save their own lives. The exception were two soldiers, who stopped and fired at the french who where many hundred meters way from them and fired from their heightened fortified positions. One of the two soldiers suddenly fell as well. Lilith stopped and looked at him, she growled. She laid the first wounded soldier on the ground and grabbed the newly wounded. She then laid the other soldier on top of the other one. She looked at the forth soldier, her eyes saying everything 'Don't you dare going down too'. The other German soldiers looked at the 5 soldiers... or rather at the one who carried three others. The healthy soldier ran ahead to inform the medic that three injured would come in and seconds later Lilith finally arrived. The medics looked at her for a second but finally showed her the way.

They arrived at a carriage like thing and signed her to put them lay them on it. She did so with help by the medics who also looked her over. They saw blood dripping down from Lilith body and looked her over, several bullet holes were in the robe, they counted nine in total. They saw the previous robe owner had two bullet holes, meaning that Lilith had a total of seven bullet hits.

"Du auch." One of the medics said, Lilith looked at him, with a raised eyebrow. So the soldiers signed her to get on as well. and so she did.

For Author: Lilith herself was wounded 7 times in the fight with the french. Two bullets into her right leg, one into the left. One in the stomach area two in the left shoulder and one in her right arm.
