Prologue

France, 12/04 1914,

It wasn't easy looking at all the soldiers coming in being brought on stretches and covered in bandages, but being a nurse wasn't supposed to be easy, especially being so close to the front line while hearing all the gunshots and the explosions but i needed to focus my attention back on my duties. After what seamed like days we managed to get most of the soldiers sorted out and resting in their beds, but 7 weren't so lucky and taken to the morgue, it was never easy to watch some who fight for their country and put their lives on the line to see them die a slow and painful death, "Hey you don't look so good", one of the nurses said, it was obvious that she had been watching me for a while, "I'm ok its just not easy watching them die, do you mind if i go and get some air"?, she gave me a 'are-you-insane' look for a few seconds but then just simply said, "yeah sure I'll cover you for a bit, and I'm Elizabeth, by the way, what's your name?" getting to know people was never my thing, but it was nice that she was covering for me, "Joey Collins" i answered, and with that i walked off in hurry mainly because i felt like i was going to be sick.

Sitting outside was never nice, seeing as there was always the smell of gun powder in the air, it wasn't a very pleasant smell to say the least but in these time i guess you had to get used to it, i had just sat down when i heard someone crying, then i saw him, a British solder by the looks of his uniform, he was crawling away from me so i had to make sure that he was ok, but i had to be careful, "Are you ok", i said, he didn't answer he just kept crawling away, "hold on" i said "I'm here to help you" that got his attention, He looked at me for a second then slowly still he looked over my shoulder to a point over my shoulder, terror then flooded over him. The next thing i knew there was flash and bang, then searing pain, I had been shot.

I fell to the floor cradling the wound with my hands but there was nothing stopping the blood from coming out of my body, i don't know what happened to the solder all i know for certain is that i heard a snap like someone stepping on a twig and a thud, and then i heard no more.

Suddenly my eyes started to blur, just as i thought that i was going to die a voice spoke quickly and quietly, "Don't worry I'm here to help you", the voice was male but i didn't recognize it. Slowly he lifted me up into his arms and carried me back into the medical tent.

I don't really want to talk about what happened next, but what did happen changed my life, i lost my family and my life that day but i Gained and new family and a new life, and then 98 years later i met the person i had been waiting for my whole life, Her name was Charlie Buckton.
