Chapter 5
major Sarge stood there, lookign at you,
"Well?" he asked, you come back from thinking,
"What?'
"Do you want to be a Sarge?" asked Major Sarge, you shake your head,
"I couldn't put me mates lives into my hands Sarge, it would be too much" Major Sarge nods,
"But be prepared, I heard some Leutanits were impressed with you" said Major Sarge,
"Why?" you ask,
"Your fighting, leading skilll. You seem to make the right decisions" said Sarge, that obviouusly was a compliment. Major Sarge thumps you on the back, and in a whisper speaks to you,
"Better get back, 'bout time we put Baxter to rest" said major Sarge, a hint of a tear in his eye. You nod, and trudge through the mud, when you remember, what of where to attack? You spin around, to find Sarge already speaking to the Major. When you get back to where your platoon is, you find Buck,trev,Nicko,Web and Drak all standing around the body of Baxter (WHo was lying on the ground) with there hats and helmets held to there chests with there chests, tears were flowing freely from Draks eyes. Buck coughed violently and spat behind him, then got a shovel, and started to dig nearby. Soon the hole was quite large, large enough for a body anyway, and the Platoon lifted baxters body, walked slowly over to the hole, and gently put down the body. Nicko stood over Baxters body,
"Rest in peace Mate, rest in peace" the tears fell onto the ground, Buck shoveled the dirt onto baxters body, specks wiping over his face, until you couldn't see even a hint of an body there. The Platoon stomped off to find food and shelter, but Drak stayed there. looking at the spot where the grave was. You walk over to him, and pat him on the arm. Your starled to see Drak sobbing,
"Why!? What of those songs sung about war!? About glorious achievements!? About great heroes!? All i see now is death!" cried Drak, sobbing, you pat him on the arm again.
"Better slap those buggers who sung the song over the face" said buck from nearby, you withhold a laugh, and chuckle inwardsly. Soon there is the sounds of trumpets, and you see forming up nearby. The tents are packed, the fires are stowed, and the guns are drawn as you start the deadly march into the mountains. The troops slowly marched up the hills, the scnerary changing every now and hten, the mountains rising on either side of you, when Web comes over,
"With all this mountain cover, the huns could attack us easily" said Web, he was defintly right about that. You look around un easily,
"best not to think of that now" says Buck, Nicko nodding in agreement,Drak comes hobbling over,
"You guys! You guys!" says Drak, buck slaps him over the hed playfully,
"Wha'?" says Buck,
"With ol' sarge gone doesn't that mean someone is to become Sarge, and Lancy?' says Drak,
Well whos got the best leadership skills?" asks Nicko, everyone looks like there thinking except for Drak, who puffs out his chest importantly,
"I used to be a Lance Corporal" said Drak, looking around, everyone looks at you,
"Your probaly the best leader at the moment" says Buck, clapping you on the back,
"M-me? What have I ever done so great?" you stutter,
"You decided to go through the forest, and to hide in the cave' says Web,
"Well look what it led to"
"Yeah!" says Drak in agreement, nodding his violently in agreement, everyone seems to ignore him,
"Well then I reckon Web should be leader" says Nicko,
"Bugger off!" snaps buck,
"Then who is left?' wonders Web, Drak walk pruposefully in front of him,
"I've got experince" says Drak, then Web points into the air,
"I know!" Drak jumps in excitement,
"I say we choose Dra- Nicko!" says Web, a grin on his face, from the look on Draks face, buck chuckles. At that moment Major Sarge walks over,
"the Major just told me, either Drak or" Major Sarge points at you" you are to be Lance-Corporal, hurry up and decide" says major Sarge,
"but Sarge, i dont wanna be Lancy!" you complain, Major Sarge wags a finger,
"Too bad" After a while, everyone votes, and they decide you are to be lance Corporal.
