Dear diary,
Today has been hectic. My little sister isn't eating, my dad is out hunting, my brother has gone to get water, and my mother is making some clothes. We are in a big war right now with china and they are heading our way. My whole family is very scared. We are planning to move west, away from the war. We have to be prepared though. My family has been preparing for about a year now. But anyway like I said my sister isn't eating and hasn't been eating for about 3 days. If she doesn't eat soon then she may die. I don't want her to sei because I love her very much. I am sitting here trying to get her to eat. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! My mother called me to help her so I had to put Emma( the baby ) back in her bed and go help mom.
When I get their she told me that she needed me to make some lunch for the family, and also another guest. I asked her who the guest is. She said it was a spy and has stopped here for a while and then going to spy on China's soldiers. He also said that the war will be here in about 2 weeks.
" oh no, will we be ready by then?" I said. My mother responds," we are already packed and we are leaving in about 3 days." I am not even all the packed up her so I have to go do that now. " Kendall come set the table", my mother yells. Opps, I kind of forgot about that.
I have finished setting the table when I hear a knock on the door. My mom goes to get it. It the spy. " hello Jeffery, how are you?" My mother says. " I am doing just fine, Thank you so much for letting me stay here for a couple days." Jeffery replies. My mom then responds back, " you are welcome any time. This is my daughter, Kendall, and my son is getting some water and should be back soon. Oh and my husband is hunting our dinner and should also be back soon." I say hi to the man. We then shake hands.
I run out side to my father and brother who have just come back. My gather has gotten a huge turkey.
It is so big we may even have extra. I love when we have extra because I get to have more and we also get to have a break from pancakes in the morning. Instead we have the extras.. I love when we have extra because I get to have more and we also get to have a break from pancakes in the morning. Instead we have the extras. My dad walks into the house says hi to Jeffery and goes on to cook the chicken. I go up to my room to fish up packing. It doesn't take me too long.
Finally diner is served. We had some corn from our farm with the chicken. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The skin was good and Krispy. I am really looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast. I have now finish dinner. I asked to be excused from the table and go to try to feed Emma. SHE ATE!!!! I was so happy. I ran to the table to tell the rest of my family. We all jump up in joy. Even Jeffery jumped up in joy! That night Emma drank 3 whole bottles. I guess she just couldn't go any longer with no food.

Dear diary,
The next morning I woke up to the sound of guns shotting. I was so sacred. My mother and father were freaking out also. We couldn't go outside cause we could get shot. The spy was still there and we told us to go in the attic. All of us including Emma went up to the attic. Thankfully she wasn't crying so they wouldn't hear her. We could still here the guns shooting. They weren't getting louder but they weren't getting any softer. The spy told us that
