The call to her arms, Chapter 1
Chapter 1
It was early, and the air still bore the refreshing remnants of the fading night’s coldness. This was her favorite part of the day, and as she started her slow ascent of the small hill, she couldn’t help but smile at the singing of the early-rising birds, the only sound that could be heard in the peaceful place and that always welcomed her daily visits.
The sweet girl had yet again offered to accompany her, but like every other time, she had declined with a smile, and the younger woman had understood that despite the heavy weight of all the years and the fragility of her aged body and health, the old woman would make the trip alone. Like every other time she would walk alone to her destination, and like every other time she would stay and cherish each moment she spent there.
For there, she was never alone.
A cool breeze brushed her wrinkled yet once so beautiful face, and she raised a frail hand to arrange a strand of grey hair back in place under the velvet red hat that she had chosen to wear on that cool morning.
She stopped her step as she reached the top of the hill. She had to admit, it was getting harder and harder to walk without the support of an offered strong arm. And she knew that soon, she would not be able to come here alone anymore.
But this trip wasn’t any trip… Because today wasn’t any day.
And that’s why she had to go to her all on her own.
She walked along the alleys that she knew so well, silently greeting the souls that rested under the trees. Those souls, amongst which most had gone through the worst, like she had. But, as she looked upon the numerous names adorning the graves, she inwardly wished that they had also known the best…
… Like they both had.
That last thought filled her mind just as she reached her intended and cherished destination. Her eyes immediately found the name that would never be engraved in stone more deeply than it was in her heart, and the smile that suddenly lit her face was so bright that it could have awoken every resting soul that surrounded her.

Thanks so much for posting this story. You picked a very interesting time and location for this. Lots of tension, drama and heartbreak are inevitable given the circumstances. I hope Bette and Tina can find strength and solace in each other to get them through it all.
Hey K !! I’m so late in catching up with this new story of yours I’m ashamed ! Anyway, I believe you already know by now what I think of it, and what I think of your writing, but just wanted to drop in and say “YOU’RE A FRACKING ROCKSTAR !!!!” I mean, in case you didn’t know… ;) thank you for this new gift of a story.
Very Interesting. Love it. I am hooked my friend.
This is the beginning of a great love story.
My dad was stationed in England and got lost in France on a mission, the resistance got him out, it was one of the very few stories he told.
Sweet mother of pearl Kw – 20 pages to “set the scene”!?! It’s like Christmas come early (LOL). This is BRILLIANT! I’ve always had a fascination with WWII and Civil War based stories. The opening evokes an array of emotions that are so palpable and hint at the intrigue to come that it sucked me in right away. I’m looking forward to seeing where you take us on this journey. All I can say is Godspeed to our gals. Patiently but eagerly looking forward to your next chapter :)
Totally engrossing. I held my breath while reading. This story has the makings of a true tibette classic.
Hi Kw! So happy to see your name again in the front page ;-) and boy! What a beginning!! I am thrilled to read more.. And no matter how you said that it’s long chapter to make us understand the situations… Well.. I still can’t get it?! So would you post another long chapter again to make me have a better understanding of the situations? … :-p lol… You cant blame me for asking you this after being hooked by story and it’s worth a try I guess ;-) he3.. :o)
A new story from you is always a really nice surprise and what a start.Thank you.PPS
