"I can't believe you're in the army!" My sixteen year old sister, Piper exclaimed, I grinned. My five year old twin sisters, Kat and Jade's, eyes were wide with curiosity. I was in the Confederate Army, fighting in the Civil War. My name is Jasper Whitlock.
I smiled lightly at my Piper. "Well believe it, I'm leaving in an half an hour." There was a two year difference between me and Piper, but we were still close. Kat's pale blue eyes were sad, as were Jade's dark green ones.
"I don't want you to leave!" Jade squealed.
Kat just nodded in agreement. I ruffled Kat's mousy pale brown hair, and then I ruffled Jade's shadow black hair. "Don't worry; I'll be back before you know it." But as I said this, I exchanged an uneasy glance with Piper. We both knew I could be killed in the war, but neither of us cherished the thought of telling our five year old sisters that fact.
Piper sighed. "Well Jasper, time for you to go." Piper's pale brown eyes shone with tears. I hugged her tightly.
"Jasper! Can't…..Breath…." Piper gasped.
I smiled and let go. "Bye Piper."
Kat and Jade ran up to me, and wrapped their tiny arms around my legs. "Bye Jazzy." They squeaked in union.
"Bye girls." I murmured.
As soon as they let go, I exchanged one last glance with Piper, before walking out the door.
