Jeremy looked at me ".....Zora, I-I'm so sorry, I can't even imagine what type of pain you're going through,"
I looked down at my feet "Thank you, Jeremy I'm just sorry Wakson had to scar my eye," It was true, when he kicked my eye, his boot left a cut so deep it stayed there. When I arrived at the base, the other medics tried to treat it, but nothing worked. For six months I could barely see anything in that eye and the color of it turned a pearly-white. After awhile my vison came back and the color is regaining but there is still a huge line across my eye ball and down my cheek.

"I'll do anything to get you out of here, anything. It's sick and wrong to keep you here," He said bitterly. I chuckled and continued to wash his shoulder "Thanks, but if I did attempt to leave I would be killed, and if I did escape and went home; Wakson would either track me down or just find another kid to take my place," he nodded "You're so brave Zora, you're not like the other teenage girls I've ever seen," I smiled "You are such a positive person, why are you fighting in the war?"

"I've always been an army man, I felt like nothing was doing it for me. So I enlisted and now I feel important,"
"To tell you the truth, I think war is pointless," I said. He shrugged, I placed my hand on his shoulder and I held his arm with another "I'm going to pop this back in, so it's gonna hurt for a second," He nodded "Ready,"

"One.....two......three,"

*Clack!*

Jeremy let out a howl of pain. I smirked and raised my eye brows "Feel better?" he sat there for a moment "...yup, I think I can go back now,"  I wrapped up his shoulder with gauze and shooked my head
"Just lie down for a minute and let your arm have a rest, and remember what do we do when we are in a infirmery on enemy grounds?"
"Act dead when resting,"
I nodded "Correct, so if anybody breaks in, at least the patients will be safe,"

Jeremy layed down and closed his eyes. I sighed and slumped in my chair. What happened to our world? We're fighting eachother and for what? I just don't get it. I spied my bag a few feet away. I grabbed it and sat back down. I pulled out my gun, the letter I got from my mother, my note pad and a pencil. I placed the gun next to my chair. I don't really want to use that thing but in a way, it made me feel safer. I stared at the letter and started to write.

'Dear Mom, Dad, Raven, and Link,-'

I paused '-They say truth is stranger than fiction, I guess. But I can't shake the feeling that this isn't real. Heh, I guess that makes more sense then war itself. I feel like a orphan when I'm here and all I can do is listen. Nothing makes my happy anymore. But I can't help but smile at the thought of the people actually fighting for me to come home, or at least have "permission" to come home. It's a violation of my rights and freedom. I don't even know how long I've been here, even though it seems like time stands still. It's all a blur now. I remember the day clearly though, General Wakson took me away, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. This was his idea and his fault for the pain I indorced. I didn't do a thing he said when he told me to to fight. All I did was glare at the bastard, so he gave me the position of a medic, but sooner or later I'll have no choice but to obey him and fight. But that won't any do good due to the scar on and in my eye he gave me from his boot. ... I'm sorry I don't want to make you worry more then you should. The only thing keeping me going and hopful is the thought that I'm gonna go home sooner or later and the little family that I created here. Debbra, the chef from South Caralina, she's a loving person and does her best to copy your cooking just for me so I can feel a touch of home. Jeff, the mail carrier, he reminds me of Uncle Lawrence, but he doesn't drink as much coffee as him. He gives me positive remarks that remind me of when Link would play baseball and 2 year old Raven would consol him after he lost. Next-'

I looked over at the sleeping soldier, his leg twitched when he snored. I giggled a little,

'-Next is Jeremy, his determinatiion is overwhelming but in a good way. He likes to play games and teaches me how to defend myself. He's a child at heart. Finally, there's Forest, the day I came, he found me cowering in the corner of the infirmery. Since then, he's been my best friend, my protector, my teacher, and makes me feel safe. I didn't understand why he was being so over protective for the first few weeks then he told me that I remind him of his little sister that died when she turned 8. He is very wise for being 21, but he knows when it's time to cheer me up or to play games like hangman. When I get out, I want you to meet him. I think him and his wife would make a good addition to our family.  Don't worry about me, I will never back down. I love you guys,

Keep on fighting-I am never taking off my locket until the end of time

-Zora'

I grabbed the cold heart shapped peice of silver that dangled from my neck. I opened it to reveal a small picture of my family sitting around a picnic table eating watermelon. On the other side was a picture of me and my big brother Link playing his favorite video game when I was 6 and he was 10. I smiled at those memories and closed the locket. I tucked it under my shirt. I folded up my letter and sighed to myself.

"Jeremy, wake up,"
"uugh-na huh?"
"I don't want you to roll onto your bad shoulder, just try to stay awake and relax,"
"Okay, how abo-"

*BOOOOOOOM!!*

I flew across the room and hit the wall. The wind was knocked out of me and sharp pain and blood was coming from my fore head and back. Part of the ceiling collasped and two Japenese soldiers jumped down. They pointed their weapons at me, I wanted to scream but I couldn't.

"GET UP!" one screamed. I looked over at Jeremy to see him under a strecher. His head was unseen to the soldiers, his body looked like it was dead but he was staring at me. Shooting his gaze from the soldiers to me. I shook my head stiffly at him saying not to get up.

"I SAID GET UP!!" I scrambled to my feet, fighting against the pain in my back. I stood there, shaking like a leaf. They circled me very slowley, still pointing their guns.

"What is she?" mumbled one. The other spied the red band around my arm revealing my position "She's a medic," he replied

"What do we do with her?"

He thought for a moment "Just kill her," he said coldly. My heart skipped a beat.

"Fair enough, we-"

I screamed out "NO PLEASE!" I fell to my hands and knees "I'm only fourteen, they took me away from my family! Don't kill me! Spare me o-or take me hostage! Just...-" Tears streamed down my face "-d-don't kill me..." my face lowered until it touched the cold stone floor "p-plea-se..."


There was a silence, my heart beat was roaring in my ears.

he spoke "...fine,"

They grabbed me by my collar and yanked me to my feet.  They tied my hands together with rope and gagged me with some guaze. Finally one grabbed me by my waist and hauled me over his shoulder.  He used the concrete slabs like stairs and slammed his feet on the grass. They shooted their gazes left and right, then ran.  They pointed their guns everywhere they could to show that they got me.  I craned my neck to see where were going but I couldn't see beyond the Japanese solider's head. I turned my head back and there he was, Forest, he came out of a bush with a horrified expression. He started to run towards me. I shook my head sadly, he slowley stop. He bowed his head then he looked up again with tears streaming down his face. My heart sank.

I cried as his figure got smaller and smaller...
I bet you want to kill me right now cuz I was gone for so long, soooooooorrrrryyy. Anyway I'm trying to get back on track but everything is so crazy at my house. Fun right? not! I'll try to post more pics and chapters. byeeee!!
