I don't own the characters. I mean no offense to the actual people. This is based on the actors portrayal and of my own warped fairytale! Enjoy!
I stood in line with my fellow nurses, nerves rattling me to my very core. I wasn't sure what possessed
me to join in the war effort, but here I was in England.
The air was much cooler for this time of year than my southern upbringing had prepared me for. We all
stood in our crisp, Army sanctioned uniforms. We were a new bread, female field nurses. We were
meeting our units today. They arrived yesterday and we would spend the next while training with them.
I had experienced one year of medical training, then a little over a year in a British hospital catering to injured soldiers. I knew that being a field nurse would be much different than working in a controlled
environment.
We were introduced to Colonial Sink who would inform us of our companies. He began shouting names in his southern drawl and soon made his way to mine.
"Master, Elliot! You will be assigned to Easy!" he shouted.
"Yes sir!" I tried sounding brave but it came out hoarse.
As he went on another girl named Hillary Wilde was also assigned to Easy.
"Now ladies, you will go and find you companies. They are waiting for your arrival and your training will start today! Good luck." He finished and saluted us. We all stood at attention, waiting for a commanding officers to find us. The group tried to assemble in order. Getting in the groups they would go with.
"Hey are you with Easy?" I heard a voice ask. I turned and saw a young woman, maybe twenty or so, looking down at me. She had to be five foot eight and she stood tall over my five foot two frame. Her hair was jet black and her nose covered in freckles, she had the prettiest blue eyes I had seen and she was curvy to boot.
"Umm yeah." I mumbled, shy as ever.
"Well I'm Hilary! We are in the same company!"Her voice was scratchy and sexy, she all but purred.
"I'm Elliot. You can call me Ellie." I said looking at the ground. Through our conversation we were making our way over. I felt my face heat as she studied me and pulled at my lip with my teeth. I didn't like being stared at. I knew she didn't mean anything by it and was just trying to see who she just met, I still wanted to hide.
"I am here for the women of Easy." a voice full of authority called. We looked at each other and immediately rushed forward. We saw the man with the voice hollering for us again. He was taller, with dark hair and eyes. He stood with perfect posture and full of command. He was handsome but something about him seemed arrogant. I suppose being a Captain would allow you to be arrogant.
"Sir we are the nurses for Easy." Hilary said for both of us as we saluted.
His eyes narrowed and he leaned in looking at her face.
"Names!" he shouted. Did he need to shout? We were right here!
"Wilde, Hilary Wilde!" Hilary called in confidence. I wondered how she managed when his face was inches from hers with an intimidating snarl on his face.
My thoughts were interrupted when said scary face was all up in mine.
"Masters, Elliot Masters." I all but mumbled and stuttered out.
"Nervous Masters?" he mocked me already. How could I let myself get on this guys bad side with only saying my name? This guy was intimidating and intimidating for sure.
Be Brave
"No sir!" He pulled back looking me in the eye. I just blinked. I had to be brave..be strong.
"Lets go meet the company and start exercises." He commanded and then began marching off. Hilary and I looked at each other, she raised an eyebrow and I just shrugged.
Seriously...what did I get myself into?
Reviews, help, questions...all wanted..needed...Sorry kinda short. Elliot will be meeting Easy next chapie and that should liven it up. What do you think?
