Chapter 9
Engel woke up lying down on her bed. It's been a couple for days since she's been here. Everyday Dustin came to see her when he could. Darleen was sad for a while but got over it. Engel's nurse Peggy always took care of her. Engel grew very fond of her. She was sweet but had a nasty attitude when she was mad; Engel loved that part of her. Engel got use to the uselessness of her leg and started using crutches to get place to place. She love to sit outside and look at the forest until the Americans would to their laps and ruin the beauties of Germany. The food wasn't all that bad at times, but then at other times she would find blue mold forming on her bread and had to cut it off. They had dogs here and Engel loved to pet them. Usually she saw them biting her friends (that were German soldiers) but when they weren't beasts they were quiet cute.
Engel grew sweeter each day she was here. She couldn't be mean to Peggy nor could she get mad at Dustin because he'd just laugh and she had to blush and turn her head. She was out by the fence today, looking out into the wilderness.
"What's up sweetheart?" Engel jumped. This damn man always scared the shit out of her.
"Vhat did I tell you about sneeking up on me?!" Engel scolded him.
"Hahaha but it's too cute when you jump and how your face has that 'oh shit' look on it" he chuckled away. Did he just call me cute?! Engel thought. This American is getting to soft with her. She had to toughen up. She had to keep him in check in who's the boss here.
"Well, it's been two weeks since you've been here. You getting use to the place?"
"Sadly, yes. Zhis stupid place is sometimes a hell hole. Aren't you guys aloud time outside? Or some nicer clozhes zhen rages?!"
" uhm we can. How about I go out to town, get some things, then when I come back I take you out to the woods. You look like a bird in a cage looking out the fence at the woods," said Dustin.
"I am a bird! Zhat is what my last name means!" Engel snapped.
"what is your last name? I don't think you've ever told me sweetheart." Questioned Dustin.
"Oh, I don't zhink I did. Uhm, my last name is Amsel. It means blackbird in German. My family takes great pride in it and will continue to pass it on," Engel asked.
"That's a unique name you got there, well lets go to…"
"Armstrong get your ass over here! You ain't done with your shit to be flirting with girls," a big captain was yelling across the yard. His voice was so deep and carried as if he was screaming in Engel's ear.
"Yes, Sir!" Dustin said and ran off. Engel laughed at the sight of Dustin getting yelled at and chewed by a captain. She use to do the same to her small squad, but Dustin had more pleasure time than her men. Wow, Engel thought, I have changed a lot. Engel turned back to the forest and went back to fantasizing.
Dustin took off during the afternoon. He had finished his chores fast and took a truck to town. He bought a red and white flannel blanket, some sausage, potatoes, cake, and some beer, and finally some clothes for Engel which was a regular black dress .He took off back to camp. He wanted to surprise Engel. When he went to find Engel he saw he at the fence again.
"Hey sweetheart I got a surprise for you!" Engel jumped when he yelled, Dustin laughed.
"Damn you American, vhat is it a bomb?!" Engel yelled.
"No, way better. Let's go," Dustin helped her up and took her to the medical unit so she could change. He waited outside.
Engel put on the dress. It was way to lose for her, she asked Peggy for some string, luckily she had some black string and helped tied it around Engel's waist. She was embarrassed but this was better than wearing ugly rags.
She walked outside and saw Dustin's jaw dropped.
"Vhat zhe fuck you looking at?!" she snapped
"You look amazing! I mean you always do but more right now, but you always do but… let's just get into the truck" Dustin gave up on his words and walked her to the truck. They took off away from the camp and towards to forest. Engel stared out the window. She was so happy. They kept going until Dustin turned into a dirt trail then parked the truck. He helped her off then grabbed a bag. They took off into the forest until they stopped at a beautiful meadow full of lavenders.
