She curled up in her sell, Anne was so cold. The freezing medal floor was pressed up against her little feet. She heard screaming in the next room, she jumped and curled up in the corner.

*Daddy??* she thought to herself. *Where are you?* Tarrik in the next sell down was not going to shut up. He was banging in the bars, he was clanging the chains holding the bed up and screaming at the top of his lungs.

Anne covered her ears when a woman's scream filled her room. "Please! Please, spare me!" she pleaded.

A slice sound and a plop was made, Anne was terrified. Tarrik finally calmed down and was almost asleep, the bed had no covers or pillows it was just a hard piece of wood.

Yumi couldn't get to sleep, the haunting thought of Anne's scream at the house, was filling his ears. He shivered. *Kimi, my love, please watch down on us...* he preyed. They all fell asleep.

The next morning they were awakened by another scream, a plop and a dragging noise. Anne nearly had a heart attack when a woman's body, with no head, was dragged by her sell.

"Tarrik Hon?" a guard called. Tarrik was led out of his cell and out to the yard. "Anne Hon?" Anne was led behind Terrik. "Yumi Hon?" Yumi was followed by many others, into the court yard.

There was a rope on a stick in the middle of the yard...they were hanging people! Anne looked behind her to see her dad. "Daddy." she cried worriedly. By now she was panting like a dog.

She looked at Tarrik, she had only seen him cry when their mom died. In the line it was either slavery...or death. Tarrik was up, "Slavery!" the lean solder in the front demanded.

Tarrik was led out of the yard and pushed back inside, "Next!" the man called. Anne was up, her heart was racing like a race horse. Hmmm...this is tough." the man said scratching his chin. Another solder came up to him and whispered in his ear. "Death!" he finally demanded.
