In a town in the country of Maowi, little Rose was playing on the carpet of her parents' cottage while her mother was caring to her little brother, Austin.

Then there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," her father said. He opened the door and a girl, no older than 12, was standing at the door dressed in uniform. He leaned against the door blocking his family from their view of her while narrowing his eyes. She looked from left to right before answering.

"Sir," she said, "you're daughter has been drafted into the army as the drummergirl of the 84th league."

"No, she's not ready," he begged. Two girls of the age of 15 walked up to him with looks of disgust.

"Look old man, you're about to die soon, so I suggest you give us the girl," said one of the 15 year olds.

"Daddy?" Rose had got up and hid behind her dad. He forced a smile and petted her head. "It's ok Rosey."

All of a sudden the 15 year olds push her father down and grab her up, taking her away.

"DADDY!" she screamed.

"No, not my little girl!" He tried to force Rose out of her hands, but one of them pulled out a gun and shot him.
Mother was holding Austin tight to her.

"No....NO..." She wailed.

"Papa!" Rose squealed. They took her farther and farther away, and she never saw her family again.
