I walked to my bunk bed and flopped down and looked around in the gloomy darkness. I hummed quietly to myself hopping not to be heard I heard mice and rats gnawing on wood and horses down below winnying. Then there was a scream I raced towards the scream it was a girl aged about 14 but looked 19 I raced over and said what wrong she yelled the baby it's coming and i noticed that she had a gunshot wound on her side. I scooped her up and said ok I'm going to take you to the nurse I took her there and they examined her then began the procedure. I walked out my heart thumping my brain throbbing with curiosity and questions like how did she think she's pregnant and are we really Neely there. The next day I awoke to some one yelling Ben wake up we are here I raced out remembering last nights events and seen land I laughed then raced to the nurses head quarters then when I asked what happened the nurse said she was shot but she was also pregnant she died last night we have the child I was wondering if you were the father or would like to look after it? I looked up and said I'm not the father and i will look after it she handed me the baby i said can you look after her till the war is finished I will see her everyday I promise. She said ok then dismissed me. We jumped off the boat onto land then helped get our horses off. The horses hadn't quiet got there sand legs yet but the corporal said that we must set up camp and begin training before the Turks invade. I hate the Turks john and I trained hard and looked after banjo good. But then today john had to leave to go fight the Turks I said john your the closest friend I got . He looked at me tears falling down his face he said if I'm going to stare death in the face I will need a friend. We hug the. He sets off i cry then one of my mates said wow are you too a couple? I look at him no mate we are both male. He laughed and said sorry it just looked like it. I would have punched him but I didn't I'm saving all my anger for the Turks
