"Soldier X"

Soldier X is about a boy 16 year old named Erik Brandt who lives in Vilsburg, Germany and has been sent into the second world war in the year 1947. He was going to the location of the battles he was going to fight but then the transportation trucks were being shot by Russian fighter jets and only a few survived. He had to take a train to Russia instead since the trucks were destroyed along with a few of the people on board. He met the german officer Doblemann who's face was messed up due to a grenade going off near his face. They got to the location where the wars were happening and Erik was dubbed the interrogator since his Russian was flawless. Erik and his friends were assigned a room dug out in a trench to stay into meanwhile the war was still off in the distance. That is when the unimaginable happened, the war had reached his location. There were explosions everywhere and Erik's friends were being killed off by the second, he could do nothing but fight for his own life for Doblemann had told him to shoot or be shot himself. He was shooting the enemy forces counting every shot as he went and found himself hauling grenades. That is when the tanks started coming in. All seemed lost when he had been hit by a grenade and shot a couple of times. But then he woke up in the trench when he heard the Soviet Union shooting off the Germans that were still alive in the trench. Erik was terrified and found a Russian boy that was dead about the same size as him. He took the boy's uniform and gear and struggled his way through the town of Arleni. He was almost to away from everything and safe until he was found by one of his own kind but he was wearing the Russian uniform and was shot at by the German and was hit in the stomach but then a shot was heard nearby and the German fell, got up and another shot was heard and he fell again. Erik was saved by a Russian and he started to lose consciousness. He woke up in a Russian hospital and he was bandaged up being taken care of. He met a few friends and the most important girls he had ever met in his life. Her name was Tamara, she was the same age as Erik and had many beautiful features to him. She took care of him in the hospital and she eventually started to grow closer to him. But then there was an alert that the war had reached the zone of Arleni that they were in. They had yo leave as soon as possible for the hospital was already being bombarded. They loaded up into trucks and tried to leave the ward but the trucks were being destroyed and Erik was left alone with Tamara and Sergo to wander off into the unknown world to escape the war and find peace, perhaps in America. They reached Poland and passed through ending up eventually in Czechoslovakia. They found a kind elderly lady that gave them a home that to them seemed to be a sanctuary. They stayed there until that town was being bombarded as well. They tried to flee in a car but the car was hijacked by a German soldier. They were once again on their own. They ran into a forest when a thick fog came over and lost the two into a white world. The unimaginable happened once again when soldier's footsteo were heard coming their way and the soldiers found them and attacked in fear that they would strike before they would. Erik and Tamara both fell to the ground wounded by the guns. That is when they both lost consciousness. Erik woke up in a room of white and a nurse started to speak to him in English. He ranted in English saying he wanted to see Tamara but he was given a shot to be put to sleep. He woke up and his left arm was amputated. He was too embarrassed to have Tamara see him but she came in and gugged him telling him that she was in love with him. That is when they eventually got married back in Vilsburg and moved to America. That is when the story ended.
