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

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

The commander was true to his word and was there waiting for them at the training field when they arrived. “I am glad to see that you are taking me seriously. Take your spots right there in the center of the front row. I want you where I can see you.” He turned and walked back to where there were an array of weapons displayed on a makeshift table. He selected what looked like a large stick with a spear on the end. He brought it forward with him and stood waiting at the front. When all the rest of the soldiers had arrived and taken their places, The commander stepped forward. “This is where it all starts. We do not have a lot of time here. I need every man here to listen and learn everything that we teach you as if your life depended on it, because it does. If you do not learn you will not know how to defend your self. You will not know how to use the tools that we will give. You will meet the enemy and they WILL kill you. I am not one to waste words and I am not one that wastes time.

Will and Seline were led inside by a young but strong looking boy. “Are you two working here also then? I am Oliver. I am one of the stretcher bearers. They wanted strong young men for that job. I guess that is what you are here for.” He says as he turns to Will. “You must be here to assist the surgeon. I hope you have good hands, steady nerves, and an iron stomach. I saw some action with the small unit that we had before we came to the training camp to train all of you. It was gruesome, but a few of the men did make it.” The youth saunters on through what appears to be a grouping of several tents that are all connected together. they passed through a few areas with empty cots not set up and what looked like supply storage. There was also an area that looked like a make shift surgery. The last was a small area with men laying in the beds. Most were asleep, some were moaning, a few were looking at them as they walked through. At last he came to a set of tent flaps and raps on the tent

Seline woke the next morning to Will shaking her awake agian. Apparently the officers were going to make it a habit to go down the rows of tents and roust everyone every morning. She quickly got her clothes down from the tent poles and put them on. It was just in the Knick of time. This time when the officers got to their tent they did not just wake them the ordered everyone to line up on the field without delay. The soldiers headed off sleepily in the direction of the training field. A few of the men who had tried to slip off to relieve themselves were quickly ushered back into line. It took no time at all for everyone to be lined up and waiting on the field. One man, who Seline had seen been herded back toward the field from the woods, decided to relieve himself right there, causing everyone around him to complain loudly and give him a wide berth. None of the officers said anything. They simply stood at the front and looked out over the men. The commander stood to one side with a fe
