Sophia's POV
The germen bombers appeared. They started dropping bombs on the houses. "Edmund get away from there! Peter! Sophia!" I heard mother's voice. I ran over to the living room with Peter and saw Mum grabbing Edmund's arm, who was looking out the window.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Mum asked Ed and then turned to me and my twin. "Peter, Sophia, quickly, the shelter now!" She said. "Come on, Ed," I said as I grabbed Ed's hand and we all ran out the house to the shelter.

Ed got out of my grip and turned around back to the house. "Wait! Dad!" He said as he ran back. "Ed!" I called and was about to go after him but Peter stopped me. "Edmund! No!" Mum called as well.

"I'll get him!" Peter said and ran after Ed. "Peter! Come back!" Mum called and I pulled my sisters inside the shelter. Susan and Lucy sat together and I sat between them and wrapped my arms around them.

A minute later, Ed came flying through the door and Peter came running in after him. Edmund fell down on the bed in the middle of the floor. "Why can't you think of anyone but yourself?! You're so selfish! You could've got up killed!" Peter yelled.

"Stop it," Mum said as she sat down with Ed, she wrapped her arms tightly around him. "Why can't you ever do as you're told?" Peter asked. Edmund didn't gave an answer. Peter turned around and shut the shelter door.


Mum sent us travelling with the rest of the children, to live in the country where we could be safe. The morning that we were supposed to leave I had ever seen the train station this packed before. There was soldiers and I spotted Edmund looking around to see maybe our father was among them but I know he wasn't.

We all gathered together around Mum as she placed our labels of where we would be staying on our jackets. I stood between Lucy and Peter. Mum helped Lucy with her label and made sure she was warm enough.

"If dad was here, he wouldn't make us go," Edmund said. "If dad were here, the war would be over and we wouldn't have to go," Peter said. I wrapped my arm around Lucy and she leaned into me as she clutching her teddy bear closer to her chest.

"You will listen to your brother, won't you Edmund?" Mum asked. He didn't answer. Mum stood up and tried to pull him to a hug but he leaned away so she kissed him on the head before turning to look at the rest of us.

She went to Peter who was standing next to Edmund. She pulled him into a tight hug which he returned. "Promise me you will look after the others," Mum said. "I will mum," Peter replied.

Mum pulled away and looked at him. She smiled a little. "Good man," She said. Then Mum turned to me. She pulled me to a tight hug. "Be a big girl. They'll need you more than ever now," She said. She pulled away and I nodded my head and smiled weakly as a few tears were running down my face.

She looked at Susan and walked over to her. "Oh, Susan," Mum said as she pulled her to a hug. Susan's eyes were slightly red but so was mine. "Be a big girl," Mum said to her and they pulled away. Susan nodded.

Mum stepped back and looked at all of us one more time. "Alright. Off you go," She said. We picked up our cases and headed towards the train. I was behind Edmund, who was being dragged along by Susan. "I know how to get on a train," He said but Susan ignored him. I looked back at Lucy, who was holding Peter's hand.

They checked our tags and then asked for our tickets. I looked at Peter, who had our tickets to see he was distracted by something. I noticed the woman was repeatedly asking for our tickets so I took it from him and handed them to her and we walked towards the train. I followed the other two but kept glancing back to make sure Lucy and Peter weren't far behind.
