Anne walked up when Marcie left. "Sir! She knows you're a..." She lowered her voice. "A girl." She whispered.

[[deleted user]]

Laya sighed. "I won the loyalty o' my men. If we win, I be a hero and not commitin' no treason. If they fin' out, so be it." She ran after Marcie and grabbed her again, dragging her back. "You listen up here, girl! Ya gotta leave! Why're ya so persistent in goin' back?"

[[deleted user]]

"An' why can't ya?"

[[deleted user]]

((Wasn't Lee a union soldier, though?))

Laya nodded her head. "An' what's been done with this Jeff? Why don't ya just run of to Lee's camp and run away with Jeff? Run off West?"

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

((He was against slavery but since he lived in Virginia he wanted to be a confederate.))

[[deleted user]]

((Robert E. Lee, General of regiment 53?))

Laya's eyes softened. "Ya listen ta me. I got myself a spy o' my own. She look the part o' a nurse. She a good one. She can go with you to Lee's camp, get you and ya man out nice 'n' safe."

[[deleted user]]

Laya sighed and shook her head. "Saddle up, men." They ran back to the camp. "Prepare to fight!" She called.

[[deleted user]]

People raced around. "Lee's a good man, I think he migh' do the righ' thing..."

[[deleted user]]

The ranks were formed, lined up. They marched to meet Lee's army, Laya in front.

[[deleted user]]

Laya saw them in the distance. "Ready. Load!"

[[deleted user]]

Guns shot. There was a cloud of smoke. "Hold!"

[[deleted user]]

Laya head Marcie yelling. She ran, making her way around blind soldiers, and found her kneeling by a man. "Run." She whispered. She picked up Jeff and ran back to her men. "Miss Green! Miss Green!"

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne ran, swerving her way past soldiers. Hoping not to get shot... She ran to Laya. "Yes?" She the looked at the man on the ground. She quickly checked his pulse.

[[deleted user]]

Laya saw them. "No, let her come to him!" The soldiers let her go.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

His heart was still working, but he would soon die. She observed the wound. It was bad and he was loosing blood quickly. She ripped of part of her skirt and tied it around his chest.

[[deleted user]]

"You shush, now. Ya want Lee to hear ya?" Laya scolded. She picked Jeff up and ushered Anne and Marcie to the back. "Clear o' guns..." She put Jeff down. "I gotta be goin' now..." She ran back to the front. "Fire at will!"

[[deleted user]]

There were a series of shots. She felt a hand over her mouth and she was dragged back, but she couldn't see through the smoke.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne didn't notice Laya being carried off. She looked at Marcie, showing no mercy. She didn't like this girl. "Most likely not."

[[deleted user]]

((She put Jeff down))

[[deleted user]]

Laya went limp, acting like she was unconscious. The smoke cleared and she saw a black man carrying her back. She stood up. "What the hell're you doin'?!"

"I'm makin' sure you don't get carried off by Lee!"

"I gotta take care o' my men!" She went to run and saw Marcie getting carried off. She hit the man on the back of the head and got Marcie, running back.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

((Fixed it.))

When Marcie yelled that she realized Laya was gone. And Marcie had been knocked out. She started fretting when a bag was brought upon her head.

[[deleted user]]

Laya looked around for Anne. Where was she... She saw her. A bag was being put over her head. These black men were doing this all over the field!

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne fought back, but to no success. She was being pulled back.

[[deleted user]]

Laya ran to the man getting Anne and punched him in the face. "You stay away from my men!" She took the bag off Anne's head and dragged the man away.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne looked up at Laya. She smiled. Laya was amazing and... She stopped herself. Laya was black, and a woman. She needed to stop thinking these sinful thoughts.

[[deleted user]]

Laya huffed, throwing the man aside. "You OK, Miss Green?"

[[deleted user]]

Laya sighed. Too many men had died, but she had won. "Ya gonna stay with us, Miss Marcie? Or do ya wanna go back to Lee? Or start a new life?"

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne nodded and went over to Marcie and Jeff. "I tried..."

[[deleted user]]

Laya pulled her up from the curtsy and hugged her. "Good luck, Miss Marcie."

[[deleted user]]

Laya watched Marcie walk out. "I can only hope that she stays alive an' safe... tha's all I can ask..."

[[deleted user]]

Laya went to the infirmary where the injured soldiers were. "Good job men! You fought brave."

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Back at the ranch, Anne was trying to save all the troops. A few had already died. she scurried around and gave some of the confused nurses orders.

[[deleted user]]

Laya nodded to Anne and left. She had to praise the soldiers...

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne had just lost another one. She was frustrated and angry. she wished that the confederated would give up the war, but she knew that's not how it worked.

[[deleted user]]

Laya finished the praise and returned to the infirmary, shedding her war clothes in her tent. "What can I do ta help ya, Miss Green?"

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

She pointed to the guy she was helping. "You needda get that shell outta him and make sure he doesn't bleed much." She hurried along to another wounded solider.

[[deleted user]]

"Ah, Benny, ain't ya always had the bad luck?" She mumbled, working over him. She got the shell out and hurriedly covered the wound, pressuring it.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Benny smiled but then it quickly disappeared, since he was in pain.

[[deleted user]]

The blood flow stopped and so she wrapped a bandage around his chest and gave him the medicine, moving on to the next person.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

Anne took the soldiers that were brought in from the battlefield. "How much longer is this war gonna take?" She yelled over to Laya.

[[deleted user]]

"No one's eva gonna know that, Miss Green. I jus' know the battle done an' gone." She helped another nurse set someone's leg.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

One guy had to get his arm amputated. She hated when that happened. "I always hated wars."

[[deleted user]]

"No one likes 'em, jus' a way o' settlin' thangs..." She moved onto another man. "Ya got it 'bout as hard as 'ny these men, Miss Green. Seein' 'em all like this."

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

"Oh no! I don't have to fight in the war, and load a gun and do any other of those things! And I will never be brave enough!" She winced as the man's arm was amputated. A year and she still wasn't used to it...

[[deleted user]]

"But ya watch it an' care for these 'ere men... Ya a good girl, Miss Green." She winced when the man's arm was amputated, but kept going.

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

"But you, you fight and you care for 'em!"

[[deleted user]]

"I care for 'em? What choo mean? There're two types o' carin'. You care for 'em."

[The New Maria, I have CDO, it's like OCD except all the letter are in order.]

"My way of caring."

[[deleted user]]

Laya shook her head. "I'm 'fraid I dunno what choo mean, Miss Green, and we don' 'ave time ta talk 'bout it."
