In the midst of tragedy

Heart acke

Touch her again ! I dare you! I yell at some soldiers who had pushed Anne down and had began to beat on her. They laugh at me and I get angrier by the moment. I remembered my promise to Jackson and immediately calmed down and helped Anne up " don't mess with my sister again " I say through my clenched teeth, I was angry and I had every right to be 2 promises in less than a week and I had to keep them both or else I could cause Anne and I both to be killed. This was all to much everything was different now I could still see my parents laying in a pool of their own blood. Mama had died instantly and it was a good thing she didn't feel what they had done to her after they killed her. My father died trying to stop them from rapeing my mother, they had just drug my sister and I off to this camp to die. My whole family will soon be dead . I fell to the ground and started crying, a gentle strong hand out out his hand and I looked up and it was Jackson. " you alright?" He asks me , I take his hand and he lifts me to my feet I shake my head no. Come on din you can do it . He picks up a shovel and puts it in my hand . It's easy he says as he showed me how to hold the shovel. I wiped the tears from my eyes and took his shovel and began working again. My heart literally broke I couldn't do anything to help save my parents they were so helpful in the past month that I didn't know if I'd last without my mothers touch and my fathers steady hand ready to catch me if I fall now he was gone , all I had was a memory of mamas smile and thick wavy black hair and pretty dark skin she was gorgeous. They had to take her life if only my mother was here to give me a hug and tell me everything was going to be all right. " din! Anne crys tears streaming down her face she fell into my arms. What happened! I cry the soldier he began and burst into tears. " oh Anne you can tell me" " what happened? I say as I wipe her tears from her cheeks. She pointed at her clothes and I said no! He didn't do what I think he did ? Right Anne ? She nods yes and I began to cry I couldn't protect her this time. I pull Anne tighter in my arms and kiss her forehead " no one will ever touch you ever again " I say " no one ,
