Chapter 1
Last night I had fallen asleep with to gunshots and bombs with the feeling not knowing if I would die tonight. When I looked out my window it looked as if I were in hell. Ikigai runs to my room. "Imora...are...you..okay?" the pauses being taken to breathe. "Yeah...I'm..fine.." I say mocking him. It was awkwardly silent until we hear banging on the door. I hide without hesitation. Ikigai quickly crawls to lock the doors , no need to close the shades, just to peek without being seen by whoever it is. It was Loni. Loni is my sister. He unlocks the door and says "Hey Loni!" a few seconds after I come out. Loni has terror in her eyes. "Hide. Shut the lights off and hide." she says quickly and seriously. I open the attic door and a ladder pops out we all climb into it, then into the cubby . We heard the door go down. My heart stopped, I grabbed Ikigai's arm and closed my eyes. "Your ok." Ikigai whispered as quiet as he could though I could hear his heart beat faster and faster each minute. Loni had only been thinking about her family, her husband and her kids. We can hear Monish soldiers searching the house. "Hëie mol jeri!" one solider shouted and they left. I shed a tear and release Ikigai's arm. "We need to go. Far, far away." Loni whispers. Ikigai and I run to our rooms grab our E-Bags. We run threw the forests to Loni's house, there's a secret door to get into the basement. We run in there and see Davon , Maxim , and Oli crouched together but Davon hiding the kids. "Loni. You made it. " Devon says getting up to hug her. "
