*the events in this story are fictional but the war is true*

November 30 1939, the Russians had invaded Finland and The Winter War had begun, both sides were prepared for the worst and when the Finns had fallen back the Soviets were prepared for an attack.

In the area near The Gulf of Finland Soviet skirmishers launched an attack on a Finnish scouting party, where a young Norwegian man fought with his Finnish friends and a young Belarusian woman fought with her Soviet friends and these two would soon fight an unexpected enemy, the battle started with the Finns having the upper hand being on the high ground but the Soviets soon pushed them back with massive morter fire as the Finns retreated three Soviet soldiers snuck up on the commanders and ambushed them.

The Finnish Captain fell bleeding in the snow with the first shot and the Soviet Private was badly wounded in his leg and begged for help the second in command of the Finns was shot in the heart and rolled down into the fjord the Soviet Sergeant was hit in the gut and fell the last two soldiers were the Norwegian man and the Belarusian woman, they almost shot each other but the whole camp was battered with heavy artillery fire and the three soldiers fell into the sea.

When they awoke they had no idea where they were but they began to fight in hand-to-hand combat the man was struck severely in the stomach and the woman had her nose broken, then they heard the private moan and they stopped and went to help him. "What is your name?" asked the Norwegian man "Sarah, but i'm not going to tell you anything else!" shouted the Belarusian woman "Alright my name is David, now lets help this man." said the Norwegian man.

So they patched up the private and went to find shelter in the woods and figure out where they were, they soon found a small cave with nothing inside except a few cans and a hunting rifle so they stayed there. "Who do you think stayed here?" asked Sarah "I'm not sure but I hope they don't come back." replied David, as they rested and started a fire to keep warm they heard footsteps approaching, and they took cover and put out the fire and they waited, then the private started coughing terribly as Sarah hurried to help him shots came from the woods and David fired back only to hear voices...German voices. "I think I might know where we are..."yelled David "Oh really is that so!" replied Sarah sarcastically "Just fix up the private and try to help me!" shouted David "I'm doing my best here!" yelled Sarah "Your both doing great now stop fighting!" said the private in a weak voice, more shots came and then stopped suddenly and they heard someone yell "Come out and we will not shoot we just want to talk" said the german "No, we can talk from here!" yelled Sarah "Ok if you insist we talk from here the we shall talk with guns! Open fire!" commanded the german "Wait! we will talk just show yourself first!" shouted David, the german stepped out holding a white rag on the end of a stick then David handed Sarah the gun and said "I trust you just trust me...please." so the german commander and David sat down and spoke "What is your name sir?" questioned the german "Yours first...sir." replied David annoyed "Ok my name is Major Hans VonWesley now may I know your name?" said the german "Ok my name is Corporal David Hakesman of the Finnish army." said David "May we have some medicine, we have a wounded man!" yelled Sarah "Medic hurry now!" ordered Major VonWesley, after the private was patched up they all set up camp together.

In the morning David confronted the Major "Why are you helping us?" asked David "Me and my squad are deserting" explained the Major "we wish to help the people who are hurt so we will not die fighting for the wrong side." When they finished speaking they chose to head north, but along the way they encountered trouble.

Three german tanks had found them and fired at them, David took the soviet private and hid him behind a rock and shot a the tanks while the Major handed Sarah a sub-machine gun and tossed a grenade at the commanding tank, the Majors 17 men covered the southwest side of the hill while the rest held the top. All of the sudden the firing stopped and a hatch opened on the main tank and a voice shouted out "Stop! If you give up we might spare you." shouted the voice "Who is that, Major?" asked Sarah "His name is Major Wilhelm Müller."explained the Major "Well whoever he is he won't take us prisoner today." said David, and they fired upon the tanks, and 2 of the troops were hit by the tanks returning fire and fell dead. More germans troops soon arrived and rained heavy fire on them, the Major was hit in the arm and Sarah was shot in the gut, David rushed to help her and she said "You are a good soldier and..." she fell silent and her blood tinted the snow red, then David was hit and fell silent too then the Major crawled away only to be shot soon after...but the private managed an escape to tell the story.
