As I stood beside my bed packing up my things into my burgen I felt relief I wanted to get out of this normal world as soon as possible but I was going somewhere else that had a lot of memories she wasn't there but she knew it would hurt going there her brother died in Kabul because of the local lord ward Omar eventually after she packed up all of her essentials she got dressed into her uniform she was now a private in the army her parents argued against her joining the Amur because of her brothers death in the army. Eventually she stared at herself in the mirror as she adjusted her beret to the correct position before breathing in and out to calm herself. Before turning back around and grabbing her Bergen from her bed and heading out of her bedroom and down a staircase.

Eventually at the end I saw my mother and step father as I reached them I placed down my burgen near the stair case before walking over to them "I'm really going to miss you I don't want you to leave" she said tears began to fall from her eyes before she pulled me in for a hug. I let her hug me for a while before pulling back "you stay safe kid" my step father said before saluting me "yes sir" I said before saluting back as I began to head out of the house he came behind me with my Bergen and placing it in the back of an army vehicle before heading back to my mother who was stood on the pavement infront of the vehicle before he stepped out my father and also the brigadier "Sir" my step father said as he looked at him "look after her" he said trying to keep the tears in as he smiled.

"Of course" he said as we both stepped in the vehicle and the doors closed behind us as vehicle drove off in the distance I stared out of the window I was going to miss home so much especially my family but it hurt to be around them Elvis was not just my brother but my bestfriend and when he died the world didn't make sense anymore after his funeral I joined the army my mother didn't speak to me for a week after I did she didn't want me to die like my brother but she knew that I wasn't going to listen to her. After a while we arrived at the airport we would be meeting two section when we arrived in Afghanistan it would be along journey and the only people on the plane were my father and his men and we didn't really speak so I decided to put in my earphones and fell asleep.

Eventually I was woken up by a solider who was shaking my shoulder to awake me "were here" he said before beginning to walk away as I got my bearings as I woke up I headed out of the plane I felt the Afghan sun hit my face it aluminated my skin and made it shone I walked around on my own until I saw a familiar face in the distance walking with the rest of two section so i began to run hoping I would catch up with her "Georgie" I shouted the first time however she didn't hear me I picked up my pace "Georgie" I said louder which made her stop and turn round to look in my direction shocked and eventually I caught up with her "Amelia what are you doing here" she said shocked "hey George" I said smiling at her. I pulled her in for a hug for a while before we were interrupted "Private Harte" a dark skinned man said as he walked over to us "Colour Sergeant King" I said as I looked at him.

"Come on" he said as we all followed him inside and sat down as we were briefed by the brigadier before getting into the vehicle and heading to the Kabul base "Private Harte as in Elvis Harte didn't he get blown up in Kabul" one of the soldiers said as I held my tongue "Shut your mouth Throbber that was her brother and he was killed by Omar" Fingers said as he looked at me "You alright Amelia" he said as he smiled at me "yeah thanks fingers" I said before tapping his shoulder. "This place really is a shit hole" I said as I looked through the window "it's worse version of Manchester" I said as everyone laughed "can you get anything worse than Manchester" Throbber said as he laughed "can't be worse than Wolverhampton" I said as everyone laughed with me. Eventually we reached the base and everyone got out "scoff then we will spend 48 hours getting used to the area" Lt Hurst said as I stared at him he had bright blonde hair which caught my attention the movement I set eyes on him which distracted me as he was speaking which meant I didn't take in anything he said.
