Derek stomped through the mud which happened to be going up past his ankles. He stepped onto slightly more solid ground, it worked for a little bit but his boots were so caked with mud that there wasn't much difference. After a few more minutes of walking through what felt like a swamp the commander stated that they had made it to the outpost. Relieved he looked up and saw the tents and a few fires. "Oh thank the Lord." A few of the other men said as they filed in. Derek pulled out a photo of his family back home and smiled at it. "I'll make it back, I promise." He blinked and put the photo back in his pocket and sat next to one of the fires, trying to warm up his freezing hands.

From a distance there was a noise, almost like stomping. They all became quiet assuming they were German soldiers. "We left fires going outside. They know we're here." One girl whispered. "Maybe their Allies" whispered Lenny. "I'll go look." The girls all shook their heads in opposition. "Lenny, just what do you think you're doing? Get back here!" Another girl hissed, but it was too late. She had cracked open the flap. "You all are too paranoid. For heavens sakes, they're British soldiers. Get some soup cans ready by the fire and don't forget the canteens." By the time she had given the orders, the men were already at the tents and warming up by the fires. "My goodness, you all look like you're frozen. As you may have heard, we're getting food ready. Feel free to spend the night." She gave a warm smile to the men and pulled the cloak closer to her body. The frigid temperature caused her cheeks to flush pink and make her limbs feel numb.

Derek rubbed his hands together trying to get some feeling back in them. He looked up as some of the nurses came out to he assumed greet the wave of incoming soldiers. The fire he had sat next to was beginnig to die as the freezing wind sailed through the camp. One of the nurses came over and handed him a lukewarm soup can. "Thank you." He said with a slight smile as he began to dig in to the warm soup. It was kind of bland but he was grateful for the warm food after the freezing boat ride to the docks and then the sudden ambush. He heard one of the nurses say that they should feel free to spend the night, and was comforted by the thought of getting a nights rest before his commander called of the troops together. "Now I'm sorry we won't be staying here long but our boys need help in the trenches, and right now we're the only ones, so we're gonna have to go reinforce them. We leave in an hour."

Lenny continued handing out the soup cans after warming them up. She made a face after the commander spoke and came up with another offer. "If they can't stay the night, you all are welcome to nap in the tents for the remainder of the hour. We have some cots and blankets and I'm sure you all haven't gotten much sleep on that ship." She could see that some of the fires were dying down, but they only had so many matches to spare and she wasn't sure how long the war would last. "It's the least we could do." Some girls behind her nodded in agreement. Lenny took her hair out of the low bun and pulled the hood over her head and sat down besides a soldier. She glanced down at her nails which were a deep purple, almost close to blue. Lenny reached her hands out towards the low flame to get the pink color back. All she wanted at that very moment was to feel some warmth.
