All Is Fair In Love and War Chapter 17
After Papa left with Pastor Oliver and Seline’s sisters left with their new husbands, she was left alone with Will in the camp. It was now very dark. Many of the campfires had gone out and most of the men that had been keeping a nervous vigil had long since given in to trying to get some sleep before they moved out and started their long walk in the morning. Will grabbed Seline’s hand and led her around to the mouth of his tent. They went inside and sat down together on the bed roll that he had made on the ground. Will took Seline’s hand and kissed it. “I can’t believe it. I thought that I would never see you again, and now here we are and you are my wife. It is like I get to have everything that I ever wanted in one night, only to have it all taken away again in the morning.” His eyes had turned sad. Seline knew that they would be apart while he went off to war and she would stay with her parents as if nothing had changed until he returned. The only thing that was different is that

Seline woke drowsily but warm and comfortable against Will’s side. He still held her in his arms. She could be very happy waking up like this for the rest of her life. She heard lots of bustling outside the tent. Men’s voices were carrying through the tent. Seline suddenly realized that she should not be in camp. She rolled over and shook Will’s shoulders. Will woke up with a smile on his face. He wrapped his arms around her tighter and leaned up to kiss her. She kissed him back but put a hand on his chest. Will suddenly froze, realizing that it was morning and the men were getting ready to move out. Seline was not supposed to be in camp. He had been told last night by his commanding officer when his brother and Mr. Glassman showed up that they needed to be gone by the time they were ready to move out in the morning, and that there were to be no women in camp. Mr. Glassman had bribed the guards at the gate with the money that Seline’s father had given Zeb to let the girls in with the

Standing outside the tent, she was able to see that most of the men had already taken down their tents and were getting ready to leave. Will bent down and rubbed his hands on the damp muddy ground in front of the tent. He quickly looked around to see if anyone was looking and then rubbed some on Seline's face and forehead. They worked together after that to get Will's bed roll picked up and tied to the horse as well as taking down the tent together and also tying it to the saddle as well. They were some of the last people done and as a result had drawn the commanders eye. He rode up and down the row that they were in trying to move the last few stragglers along so they could move out. Will took Seline to the mess wagon to get some bicuits and bacon for breakfast. They stood in line with all the other soldiers quietly. Seline kept her head down and tried not to make eye contact with anyone. She was afraid that they would see right away that she was a girl or that she would see someone

They continued to ride right on past the place that Seline would need to turn onto to go home. The commander riding with a small grin on his face as he rode. They rode right on past it and on until evening. Seline was a long way from home by the time they stopped. She was tired, hungry, sore and scared. Will had not looked up once the entire ride. The commander finally left their side when he announce that they were going to make camp and that he expected them to both report to him when they had set up their tents. Seline made her way over to a more secluded spot near the trees. She dismounted and turned to Will. Since she was not an actual soldier they had not issued her a tent or a bed roll or a mess kit. She only had the clothes on her back that Will had taken from the young soldier and her dress that was in the saddle bag. Will did not move. He was still in a state of shock. She pulled on his leg and then his arm as he slid side ways off the horse when she pulled on him. She bar

Will and Seline walked single file to the commander’s tent which had been set up for him by troops that were at the beginning of the procession, that way it was ready when he got here. Will told the guard that he was ordered to report to the commander once his camp was ready. The guard walked to the tent door and was told to enter. In a moment he came back out followed by the commander who was now without his uniform jacket and smoking a cigar. He walked up to stand in front of Will and Seline. He saluted and Will saluted back Seline followed suit a little late. The commander noticed but did not say anything. He stopped and looked right at Seline, “What is your name boy and where are you from?” “His name is Samuel and my name is Will. He is my brother sir. We are from Jessup county.” The commander looked first at WIll and then at Seline. “I know you can speak boy. Don’t think he will always be around to answer for you. You are in the army now and that means no more hiding behind you

The next morning Seline and Will both awoke at the same time to the bugle sounding reveille. There was a murmurs of voices outside as men went to relieve themselves in the nearby woods. Seline dressed quickly needing to walk further into the woods then the men so that she could have some privacy. She grabbed a bucket pretending to go down to the stream to get some water. No one questioned her. Will followed her to stand guard while she went. Seline was not thrilled about the lack of privacy, but it was better than being found out, or worse. They filled the water bucket at the creek. Will took off his shirt and washed up there as well, Seline waited and washed up in the tent when they got back to camp. Will took a detour on the way back to give Seline some privacy, but to also scout around and see if he could get any more items for Seline that she may need. He came across a supply wagon that had tents, blankets, uniforms, mess kits, etc. He walked up and asked for a few of the things t

The commander had ridden beside Will and Seline for the entire trip. Once they reached the training grounds he rode ahead to his tent that had already arrived and was ready and waiting for him. He stayed on his horse and turned to the men passing by him and said, " Be sure to pick a good dry spot to pitch your tents we will be here for a few weeks while we train. It may rain and the storms can bring lots of running water in the area. Stay away from beside the creek. Be sure to bed down early tonight we start training at first light." with the he dismounted and disappeared into his tent. Will and Seline continued to the back of the camp again. The further away from the commander and the cook wagon the less chance of issues. Seline wanted to camp near the woods again. It was easier for her to know when there were less men in the woods and easier times to find privacy to go. She also wanted to use the rope from Will's saddle to make a laundry line and wash their uniforms, but

Will returned to the tent to find Seline under the blankets waiting for him. He leaned over her on his hands and kissed her. As she reached her arms up and out from under the blankets he saw that she was naked underneath the covers. Will wrapped his arms under her and pulled her closer to him. He deepened their kiss licking and sucking her lower lip then pushing his way in her mouth to explore. One arm pulled her closer as he rested on his elbow and the other grazed her skin down her sides leaving spark and waves of heat in its wake. Selina’s hands moved to Will’s chest and began to undo the buttons on his uniform. Will released his grip on her some to allow her hands to continue down undoing all the buttons down his shirt and continuing to the ones at the top of his pants. Seline then moved her hands slowly up his chest and to his shoulders where she pushed his shirt off his shoulders and reached down the top of his back. Will rolled onto his hip and took off his shirt. He threw it i
