10 Nightmare

"Where am I?" His vision was blurred, he was being dragged in a stretcher while Anna was beside him looking out for him.

"Hurry! He might loose more blood if he continue to be in this state!" Anna shouted.

Anna was concerned about his safety, since he didn't have to suffer with those wounds without her getting save by him.

"Anna?"

He continue to look around, and his visions begun to fade into the black void. He was then dragged down to the deepest part of the abyss.

"Woah!? Where the hell am I?" He shouted, but to his demise someone grabbed him in his feet and continued to dragged him down into the abyss until he hit the solid ground of soil that smack on his face.

His entire face was now bleeding, he has multiple wounds around his face, but in a sudden tension his entire body begun to spurt some blood. "GAAAAAHHHHH!" He shouted in pain.

The blood that spurts from his body were from those wounds by the Yak 9 that punctured towards his body. "Aaaghhhhh!" He fell down in his knees as his entire body begun to feel numb.

But that was not the end, his will was strong to keep going. "This won't stop me!" He shouted, the only way he could proceed to move was to crawl in the ground while his blood is leaving a trail of him.

"Grrrrr!" He moaned in pain, but he endured it until he keep crawling. In his eyes he could see a beautiful tree which he keep going in that direction.

But the moment he got near the tree, it wasn't just a tree... it was a pile of dead bodies of soldiers that begin to turn there heads towards at William. All of there faces was rotten, and was eroding and some of them was melting. It was like an eldritch monster.

The eldritch tree then begun to move, the way it moves was the piles of dead body crawling on him. "What the fuck is this?!" He was terrified which he turn around and tried to stand up.

In his strength he was able to stand up, but he was only limping to escape from this monster he was seeing right now.

It was futile, the eldritch tree was faster as the pile of bodies begun to crumble on him, and sinking him towards death. "WILLIAM..." The rotten flesh of corpse said his name which terrified William.

"Do you remember us?"

"We're the ones you who killed."

"How does it feel to be haunted by us."

"Get the hell away from me!" William shouted as he tried to retaliate, but it was futile which he can't mustered all of his strength to fend them off.

"It's useless... William... we're coming for you even after death!" The corpse then formed a big sharp log that looks like a spear and they stabbed William in the cheat which he shouted in pain, as his lifeless eyes begun to close.

William was then force to wake up due to fear and his nightmare. "AAGHHHH!" he stand up in an abrupt way. But in such abrupt way of waking up some of his wounds opened up.

"Take it easy soldier!" One of the medics who approached him. Which William felt secured as he didn't know he was in a hospital.

"Where I am?" He asked calmly.

"We're currently in the back of the Frontline and this is our temporary base to recover and to refill some of our ammunition." The medic begun to check his body, and gave him some of medicine to nullify the pain that was inflicting in his body.

"How long was I asleep?"

"Probably about 5 days." The medic who then stand up.

"I must go for now, and you must rest for now you won't be able to fight for like 3 weeks until those wounds of yours are complete healed, stitching them was hard enough already." The Medic then left him behind to focus on the other badly wounded soldiers than him.

"Thank you." He said, while the Medic just wave his hands, as a welcome.

William have no choice but to stay in his bed until he finally recovered. "Why did I just save someone? Was it my own will that I use my body to save her? Or was it my instinct and memories of this person's life that saved her?" He was completely broken down inside but he keep himself stronger.

He was afraid of being killed, but none the less he himself protect someone using his own body as a shield. "Just what the hell am I doing to myself." He sighed, which just frustrates him.

"But... hating my will to save someone... I guess it my own emotion that Interfered."

"Why are we humans have such complicated feelings and thoughts for everyone, it's making me more stressed then before."

While he was resting, he saw someone who appeared in the frontal entrance of the hospital and it was Anna. She run towards William who is relief that he was already awake from his coma.

Anna was puffing as she was already exhausted, she then almost tripped down from the equipment that's been lying around. She was finally near William, who then hugs him. "Ouch! Ouch! That hurt!" He groaned in pain.

"I'm sorry! I'm just in relief that you were alive... I thought you would die by saving my life." Anna stated in a soft tone, considering she always speak in cold and heartless tone but now it was soft and comfortable.

"It's... fine, I'm already alive and thanks to me you're still alive filled with energy, and because I'm your second in command after all." Half of his statement was a lie especially the second in command.

"Lying is apart of human emotion, and sometimes using to lie to the others always make them to feel at ease to release the pain that they have to suffer anymore... Just like life... everything has there own time, and life." He thought, he was just any other humans that would lie for someone sakes of happiness.

Outside the camp, the city of Minsk was now overrun by the Panzer Division 7th, 8th and 9th. The Siege of Minsk was a successful operation.

"Next stop... to Moscow."
