It was a dull black night. Nothing has changed, I can still hear the shots from guns and the soldiers screaming in agony. The war has gone on for many years and has taken the lives of many including my father. 
I never really knew him he died when I turned three. My mom became lost in her mind. Then one day she wandered too far and ended up in the battle feald. She was captured by French army. 
I took over the house, my older brother went to war to earn money for us my older sister married and sent us money to live normally. I end up in charge of my three younger sisters, and what we use the money for.
We try not to remember our mothers screams as they carried her into their base. She screamed until her voice could not be heard. I try not to imagine what they did to her but my mind can't help but to think of it.
But right now I have a bigger problem called night. It's the most dangerous time of the day because you don't know what could happen to you, or your family. I can't help but think of I am in charge so it will be my daily if they die. 
But just as I thought of that I feel asleep. It was a weird sleep like someone forced me to. I felt weird but my dream had to be even weirder. I saw my mother and she was okay but there were people around her yelling at her. 
I was scared all I heard her say was "My girl is strong she can't be found." I tried to talk to her but she already knew somehow. But in response all I heard was "Run" I did not know who said it but that is what I was going to do.
