(Summers POV)
It’s me Summer, Again! We just finished working, Because it’s the first day of operation Freeman.
There is still no sign of my parents I am starting to think that they got captured and we can’t free them yet.
I hope that the captured gets paraded again tomorrow because luke never got caught and he will be even better tomorrow because he did it today.
I really miss my parents but there are fewer mouths to feed because they are not here and the orphans are so small they do not need a whole fill-sized meal like what we eat, and if they were here we would have less food and Nichole would have to meet our correspondent even more than she already is.
The correspondent gives us enough food for 2 weeks but since we have more people here and we are going to every day as we help five people escape from the evil clutches of the Kings Royal Army.
Well, one of the orphans her name is Arrietty White she is crying for her parents because she gets horrid night terrors from watching her parents get shot by the army.
I mean how can they just let the child watch her own family get shot and watch them die and then just take her prisoner I mean at least you could have shot her along with them, not saying that that’s any better, but still I mean come on guys have a little compassion for this little girl who just watched her family die!
Well, I am going to check on Arrietty and see if I can calm her down and see if she will go back to sleep.

I’m back I had Arrietty tell me the whole story of her parents dying to see if that helped with her night terrors and it appears that it did because right now it is 6:00 am and Arrietty hasn't even woken up to go to the bathroom or anything, so I really think that the talk helped and that all of the pent up emotions were just too much for her five-year-old body to handle and that was what was causing her horrible night terrors.
I chose to write her dreadful tale down here in case somebody from the history museum finds my diary and decides to write down if we don’t make it out of this war alive so here it is I have decided to title it Arrietty’s tale:
Arrietty’s TaleMy parents died when I was five-years-old, they were the most precious thing that I had that was mine to keep except I was wrong about everything.
I was wrong about having them to keep forever and that they were all mine because of this stupid war.
The soldiers came and burnt most of my town and the fields surrounding the town and then they came into the big city and barged into every single house including mine.
My parents tried to hide me under their big bed but some of the soldiers stayed in my house so I was forced to stay under my parent's bed and watch them being taken away from me, the ones that were the only people who were mine forever were just taken like that.
Like the snap of my fingers.
When the soldiers finally left they had raided the pantry and left nothing.
So I had nothing to eat because they did not think that anyone else was in the house even though I was.
I then started to sleep during the day because I knew that I had to get to the orphanage or somewhere else other than my town because it was not safe for me there.
When I started my journey I only travel at night.
But as I got farther from my town I could travel a bit in the morning and then find a hiding spot and slept.
I soon reached the city and lived on the streets for a few days but then a nice lady saw me and brought me to the Orphanage.
I lived there for a few weeks but then the soldiers came there and it was like I could never escape them.
They then took me and many of the other children who weren't hiding good enough and just took us.
They changed us up so we couldn't leave or even try to escape.
The soldiers took us to the town square with the other people they captured
and they made us walk around the square and then we stopped and your brother came as you saved me.
Now I am here with you. You and your family saved me
