It has been 5 months, 3 days and 54 minutes since they came and knocked on my door. They told he was dead, my Edward was dead. He was killed in the field trying to save one of his mates; well that's what they told me. He was meant to come back to me. He was a good man. He didn't want to go to this war, but they made him. Those stupid officials made him sign up. Edward wanted to stay home with me.

Edward got his letter today. The letter that says he has to go to war. My brothers Emmett and Jasper have already gotten their letters. Recruitment to go to war for the government. I don't want him to go but it is his duty. He promises to come back to me, I hope he does. Rosalie and Alice are worried about their men too.
"What if they don't come home? What if they get hurt?" Alice cried. I didn't have the answers to the questions that were playing on all three of our minds. Alice is due to marry to Jasper next summer and she has already got everything prepared. Rosalie is due to give birth to a son sometime in the next 2 months.
I pray to god to keep our men safe and well. I cannot lose Edward or my brothers. I don't know what I would do without the guidance of my brothers or the love of my Edward.
Hello everyone. I know this is crazy short but this is my very first story and I would like to see how you all take it. The song that gave me the inspiration for this is The Dixie Chicks "Travelling Solider".
Please review and let me know if I should keep going. This chapter is just a preview of the story. So please be nice.
Thank you all.
