All the Light we Cannot See

Chapter 6

“Up now!” Commander Liu said, bursting inside the room. “Everyone besides Andrew get ready, and call me Lieutenant from now on, and once you're done come outside the front door..” Lieutenant Liu said, then he turned around and shut the door. “Dang, just like at the base.” Andrew said to Max. Max just nodded. He got up, got dressed, grabbed his rifle, and quickly reported outside. “Andrew last night was able to contact HQ, since we’re no longer in the air, we are ground troops now, we are now the 6th company.” Lieutenant Liu said.

“So now we’ll move out.” Liu said. “COMPANY! TURN LEFT!” Lieutenant Liu ordered. Everyone quickly turned left, we were arranged in fifths. “Wait! Wait! We will give you some horses and supplies for your journey.” Artois said as he rushed outside. Once we were done getting ready we headed out. “Lieutenant, where are we going to?” John asked. “To your house that’s where.” Lieutenant Liu mocked. Everyone else started to laugh including Max and Andrew.

“To our camp we found the night before idiot.” Lieutenant Liu replied. “Too many mosquitos..” Jacob mumbled as he kept slapping himself while riding the Carno. “Hey Jacob, got a name for that Carno yet?” Hayden asked. “Yep, he’s Rage.” Jacob replied. “Here we are lads, settle in now.” Lieutenant Liu said as he showed us the camp. There were about 13-15 tents and 3 campfires. “You all are going to share a tent with someone, so go on, find one and get along.” “Lieutenant, shouldn’t we make foxholes around the camp instead of tents?” Ron asked. “Good idea.”

Later that night, instead of Foxholes or tents, the Company was forced to make trenches. Our camp was in front of a mountain wall so the company just dug around it. “Max you’re on the left trench.” Sergeant-Chief Kyle said. Max quickly made his way to the left trench, in there was Andrew, Hayden, and some other comrades that Max forgot the name of. He quickly sat next to Andrew. “When are we going to get out of this stupid island?” Hayden asked.

“Who knows.” Max replied as he threw a rock. “BOOOM!” “Attack! We’re under attack!” Jack shouted. Everyone quickly got in position. “Who is it?” Andrew whispered next to me. “Looks like the rock I threw exploded.” Max joked. “Krauts! Make ready!” Kyle shouted, everyone immediately aimed outside, waiting for the Krauts to charge.

“YARGH!” The attackers were not the Krauts but a native tribe. “Are those cavemens?” Hayden asked. “I don’t know, they’re holding clubs and spears.” Max replied. “Open fire!” Kyle ordered. Everyone opened fire, the cavemens seemed to have never seen guns before and scattered around. “Cease fire! Cease fire!” All around the camp shouted. “Great, now idiot cavemens are a threat now.” Andrew said as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Soon so did Max.
