WILLIAM BODIE by Debs
Private William Bodie stood to attention with the other Privates in his regiment and watched the Staff Sergeant prowl up and down the orderly straight lines of soldiers. William watched him from the corner of his eye. He was a sneaky bastard this bloke and was always dropping them in some type of trouble. What now! William thought worriedly.
“Well, Well, Well” the Staff Sergeant bellowed at them “What a pathetic lot you are, call yourself soldiers do you? Not a decent one among you.” William kept his smirk under control. They were the best damn regiment in the barracks but the Staff Sergeant would never admit it. He’d already been caught out a couple of times for smirking in formation. 50 push-ups on the spot was not William’s idea of fun, neither was the 10 mile run the damn man had sent them on.
“Just to make you wonder even more why you bothered to join up we’re going on a lovely two day hike.” Communal groans greeted that announcement. “This will be your pairings for the days you will be gone.” William turned out. Bloody sadist! He thought and was dragged back to earth when he heard his name called. “Bodie and Carley” the Staff Sergeant called and William winced. They’d bloody partnered him with a flipping girl. William looked around and caught sight of his “partner” for the next two or three days and glared. She was a tiny little thing with short hair and a happy disposition. Oh shit! William thought with feeling she’s a bloody little pixie.
Ellie marched up to William. “You’re Bodie aren’t you?” She demanded and William nodded.
“Yer that’s right. You must be Carley.” She nodded. Christ he’s big! Ellie thought. William might only be 20 but he’d reached his full height already, an impressive 6-foot. With the fitness required in the Army William had toned down but filled out and he’d had to request new uniforms 5 times since he’d joined. “You look like a little pixie,” William said and Ellie wanted to kick him.
“Oh ta very much.” She grumbled and glared at William when he grinned at her.
“You’d weight about as much as your pack” William said grinning at her and Ellie actually poked her tongue out at him. William laughed at her. This should be interesting he thought smugly.
Later that afternoon William turned to see Ellie trudging along behind him. She’s got guts he thought reluctantly. They’d been hiking after being dumped some 3 hours earlier and told to get back to base. Bloody orienteering William thought miserably scanning the dark clouds that were settling in. They were either going to get snowed on or rained on or knowing their luck probably both. William trudged along deep in his own thoughts. Some time later he realised he could no longer hear Ellie’s footsteps. He turned to find her gone. “What the hell!” He mumbled aloud and started backtracking.
“Ellie” William bellowed. “Ellie” it was considered very bad form to loose a partner while on manoeuvres. “Ellie” William bellowed again.
“Over hear.” A voice called out over the wind and eventually William found her. He stuck his head over a ravine and Ellie was gripping a small tree for dear life.
“Don’t you dare say one word William Bodie just get me out of here.” She yelled above the wind. William unstrapped his pack and crawled forward on his belly. Leaning over as far as he dared he still couldn’t reach Ellie. The pack was dragging her down.
“Let loose your pack.” William bellowed over the wind and Ellie looked at him like he’d lost his mind.
“Are you nuts.” She demanded ticked off. William just shook his head.
“It’s pulling you down and if you don’t let it go it will pull you right off this damn cliff. Come on Ellie, let it go.” she could see the sense but all her provisions, sleeping bag and everything was in that damn pack. Carefully easing one hand off the tree Ellie undid the first strap and then reversed the process let the other loose and the pack feel off her back with a thunderous crash on the rocks below. She peered down at it thinking that could have been me. She shuddered, reached up and took hold of William’s hand and scrambled up the cliff and to safety.
Both stood at the edge of the cliff and studied the ruined pack. William saw Ellie shudder, thinking the same thing he was. That was damn lucky.
“Are you OK?” William asked concerned. Ellie just nodded, unable to speak.
“Yer but the Staff Sergeant is going to have my guts for loosing that pack.” She admitted miserably.
“Yer but better it than you. What happened?” William asked and Ellie blushed.
“I lost my footing and stumbled over the edge. That God for that tree.” William agreed with her.
“Yer well, we’ve got to find some shelter or we’re gonna get soaked. Come on.” William headed off and Ellie limped after him.
“You have hurt yourself!” He accused worriedly.
“It’s just my ankle.” Ellie snapped back feeling silly. William led Ellie over to a rock and pushed her none too gently down onto it and unlaced her boot. Her ankle was swollen. William rummaged around in his pack and dug out his first aid kit.
“Come on Ellie, hold still.” He grumbled and strapped her ankle. “It’s not broken, just sprained I think.” Quickly and efficiently he finished the strapping and eased Ellie’s foot back down. “Can you walk on it?” Carefully Ellie put her foot down and put some weight on it.
“Yer, it’s OK but my foot’s freezing.” She grumbled. Chuckling William slid her sock back on and rummaging in his own pack pulled out a pair of his own socks and eased them over Ellie’s foot as well. There was no way she was going to get her boot back on.
“Better?” He asked straightening up again. Ellie could only nod, amazed at William’s consideration. He had a dreadful reputation around the barracks but obviously under that gruff exterior was a good heart.
“Come on, we’ve got to find some shelter.” William said slinging his pack again, slipping Ellie’s arm around his waist and together they hobbled off.
“There!” Ellie cried over the wind. It was a cave, not very big but it was warm and William hoped, dry. He and Ellie crawled inside out of the wind just as the heavens opened. Within minutes William had a fire going to warm them up. Ellie stretched her hands towards the small fire and William grinned at her.
“How about a cuppa?” He asked and Ellie stared at him shocked.
“You’re kiddin’ aren’t you?” William just shook his head and Ellie grinned. Sure enough he dragged tea stuff out of his kit and offered Ellie the battered tin mug. She sipped it gratefully.
“We’re not going to get far in that!” William said nodding to the heavy rain. “Looks like were stuck here.” William stoked the fire and Ellie curled up on the floor and watched the fire. William shook out his sleeping bag, brushed the pebbles away and spread the bag out.
“Come on Ellie, get over here!” Ellie stared at William stunned.
“Excuse me!” She stuttered shocked.
“Get over here Ellie.’ William repeated pulling his boots off and dropping onto the bag.
“Why?” she asked suspiciously.
“Cause I’ve got the sleeping bag and you can’t seep over there.” William explained and Ellie shook her head.
“No thanks.” Ellie said. “I’m fine over here.” She said stubbornly. William shrugged his shoulders, climbed into the sleeping bag and zipped it up.
Ellie lay on the dirt and watched William snuggled up in the sleeping bag and watched Ellie try to get comfortable. Stubborn git! He thought irritated.
Sometime through the night William woke with a start with some one shaking him.
“What?” He mumbled sleepily.
“William, I’m cold.” Ellie mumbled through chattering teeth.
“Get in here.” William replied gruffly and unzipped the bag and threw it open for Ellie to climb in. “You’re freezing you dope.” Ellie was not in the mood to argue but that bag looked awful small with William taking up most of the space.
“Um, I don’t know if I’ll fit.” Ellie said eyeing the confined space. William moved over as far as he could.
“Come on Ellie, you’re letting all the cold air in. You’re only a little pixie, you’ll fit.” William grinned at her disgruntled look.
“Oh alright.” Ellie crawled into the bag and William zipped it up around them. It was a tight fit and William tucked her close to him and wrapped his arms around her. Ohmygod was all Ellie could think. He was solid, warm and smelled so damn good. Breathe! Ellie had to remind herself.
“Go to sleep Ellie, we’ve a long walk in the morning.” William instructed and surprisingly Ellie found herself dropping off to sleep wrapped in William’s strong arms.
Late the following afternoon they finally made it back to base. The last to arrive but the only ones injured. Ellie’s ankle was indeed sprained and she smiled when William gave her a cheeky wink as he helped her hobble over to the hospital. Cheeky sod she thought fondly.
