Part 4: Dusk

 

As the Germans are hot in pursuit with their dogs behind our scent, I hear Boris moaning and clutching his stomach.

I quickly realize something is wrong, right before the Germans move a couple more inches towards us.

I dive into a pile of mud and leaves as the Germans pass us. Not knowing that we have already stopped the escape, they foolishly keep on sprinting in the same direction

 

I look down at Boris. His stomach is bleeding. I have no feelings for him anymore, yet I feel as if i cannot just leave him here. So, I rip off some of my shirt and wrap it around his stomach.

 

It is starting to get dark and I realize I had fallen asleep. I get up with Boris nowhere in sight. My first instinct is to check for my sidearm. Fortunately, it is still by my side. But where has Boris gone? I walk around, looking by rivers, at the cliff, and even in the bushes. He is nowhere to be found.

 

I gather my surroundings and when I turn, 2 soviet officers are behind me. Sir! They lead me towards a battle weary T-34. I am weary and I feel the need to sleep.The need to eat. As I head back into our barracks, I suddenly feel an uneasiness. Why does the air feel dull. Why does everyone look tired and starved?

 

 Heil Hitler! Those words remain ringing in my head. Heil Hitler? Then I realize it. Those weren't soviets. They were under disguise! I look all around me. There are Americans, British, Soviet, and French. This is a POW camp. I go towards the food area. All they serve is mushy glop not even enough to feed a small child.

 

Then, I hear a gunshot. I look towards the doorway, as blood seeps through underneath the small gap. No one has he power to do anything. No one is brave enough to risk their life for a life.I am overcome by rage. The germans didn't take my sidearm from me yet, so I rush out the door and put a bullet through every German soldiers head until I fall. I fall asleep. With a blank look on my face. I have no feeling. No feeling for life. Then.....

 

Boom.

Chapter 4-The finale:

 

Run, run, do not look back. Run, run, do not look back. I murmured this to myself as I was running as fast as I could, while dragging a 200 pound man, down the street. This street was obviously isolated and not your regular joe type of street. All that was here was old and burnt buildings; what seems to have been left from a destructive battle. "I think I lost them," I said out loud. All I heard in reply from Boris was a gurgle and an in-pain noise. I found some bits of a first aid kit. These included some band aids, latex equipment, and cotton balls. I applied some of these things to Boris, and I managed to slow the bleeding for him. After a while, the view was looking different, so I thought I was getting further away from the Germans. This calming hypothesis got shattered by the sound of a bullet being fired. I then heard someone yelling at us, "where do you think you are going?" I was pretty shocked. "Wha... How?" I stammered. "Oh, you must be new around here. There were two lanes to this; You were on one, and I was on the other one the whole time." The deep, unknown voice continued, "what a fool! Well, we will not do a cowardly move, as easy as it is to get rid of you this instant. I have a proposal for ya." Right after that, a tank went right through a building on a side of the lane. A shadowy figure stepped out of the tank, and waved at us. "How about a duel to the death against the one on top of the german war commander hierarchy?" I had no other alternative, so I accepted. I moved Boris to a lateral wall. "So how will this be made fair?" I asked. He went on to explain that it would be a fist fight, without weapons. Also that the people he brought with him would not interfere. I was surprised at seeing he actually wanted this to be fair and square. However, after all I had been through, I would watch my surroundings and not fall entirely into this sense of security. I quickly thought of all the Jet Li and Rambo movies I saw as a child; searching for some epic move to finish this. Unfortunately, that was just a blur, so I simply recalled the opening poses they did in them. It then began by him sprinting towards me. I got ready to block any attempt he would try. As he came at me with a fist, I ducked and he went a little past me. We then both turned to face each other again, and I started punching him in the face. Not all of the punches went towards his face, but I did manage to upper cut him right under his chin. He stood standing though, so I looked at this as a chance to do something more powerful, and went for a kick in the stomach. That was successful, and this time he fell, slowly to his knees and then completely to the ground. I stayed close to him, and that was a mistake, as he spun his legs so I would trip. His next move was pinning me down, and grabbing my neck. What a sneak attack! I rendered useless, because he caught me off guard. This is the end, I thought. Just then, I hear a gunshot, and the German leader loosens his grip on my neck to soon after release it. I hear a stutter and then silence. A distant laugh is heard, which became louder and louder. A person, I believe from the Germans side, walked towards us. "That chump never gave me my foreign chocolates that I asked for months ago, thought it was time to teach him a lesson," he said with more laughter, "i'm done with these Germans, and now that the leader is taken out, everyone will be lost. Therefore, war is over! Come on, lets get out of here." And so we did. Boris healed up eventually, and we were ready for anything that was to come.

 

Good luck all :)
