Chapter 1 :The soldiers tale

[punk301]

The crowd around the wooden stage, grew restless. The soldiers stood in line, all with drums, and their muskets slinged around their shoulders. They started with a baisic rythm, Dum Dum da da da dum the crowd screamed for blood. The Soldier was dragged out of the carriage, he tried weakly to rise from his stupor, his vision began to dance and swim around him. Two guards dragged him one on each arm, the Soldiers eyesight flickering in and out. A tomato splattered across his face, the crowd began to throw food. The soldiers still beat thier rythm Dum Dum da da da Dum their uniform emblazoned with purple and gold. The Soldier glanced up at the stage and stared meekly at the stake, She appeared in the crowd, and he fought free from his captors, but was brought down by a musket butt to his ribs. His vision became dark, but he could not sleep. Her face appeared in his mind, he smiled, the soldiers hauled him to the stage. His hands were bound his once blue uniform, now splattered with mud, and faded to grayish color, his brown eyes appeared under his heavy eyelids, his brown hair was cut short, but was matted down with mud. The Soldier closed his eyes, and memories of her filled his mind. Memories, of her danced: the golden meadows, the dancing tree's her lips peeled back to her clever smirk.

 

Dum Dum da da da Dum the peoples yelling and jeering awoke him of his daydream. A man appeared with fancy clothes, he had a stocky build, and a big floppy white wig sat ontop of his head. "This rebel" he started " fought against the Verian Empire!!" The people boo'd and hissed, and the Soldier was pelted with a cabbage. The Soldier looked into the crowd and she appeared in several places. "This man is the Enemy!!!" yelled the man. The Soldier closed his eyes, her hazel colored eyes filled his memories, sparked with curiousity and ingenuity.

Dum Dum da da da Dum he opened his eyes and the drum line changed da da da da da da. The soldiers readied their muskets, He closed his eyes, memories flooded of her, them as children dancing and playing in the golden meadows of their home, "why thats the silliest thing I've ever heard of" the memory of her voice sounded in his head. "Ready your weapons" the soldiers cocked their weapons and took aim, the Soldier eyes filled with tears of the thought of leaving her alone. He closed his eyes, the sound of the rifles rang in his ears, he whispered her name one last time "Julia" she replied, "oh Isaac".
