I woke up to the sun's bright shining light in my face. My eyes fluttered open as I sat up in my bed. It was a rather peaceful morning which I didn't expect all things considered-

"Y/nnnnnnn!" I heard Kay's voice cry out.

Well so much for peaceful.

I groaned and rolled out of bed, "Coming Kay!" I walked out of my room and down the wooden stairs. Once I was at the bottom I was greeted by a sudden impact of Kay running to me and tackling me into a tight hug.

"Y/n! Jack's being mean to me!" She cried.

"I was not!" Jack retaliated from around the corner. I bent down to Kay's five year old eye level.

"What did he do?" I asked softly.

"H-he s-said that my dress w-was ugly." She cried. She was wearing he favourite pink dress with flowers on it. I shook my head and hugged her.

"Don't pay him any mind Kay. Besides since when do boys have any sense in fashion? You are the most stylish girl I know." I booped her nose and she giggled, "Come on, I'll make some breakfast." She grabbed my hand with her small one and we walked out to the kitchen.

"Cry baby." Jack sneered.

"Meanie." Kay snarled.

"Why do you have to always go to y/n when ever you go all sooky?" Jack rolled his eyes. Kay stomped her foot.

"I am not sooky!" She wined. I cleared my throat and Jack looked up at me before he could say anything. I gave him a threatening look and he looked down at his hands.

"Sorry Kay..." he mumbled as if he had rehearsed that line for a week. In all fairness he had to say it a lot.

"That's why I go to y/n." Kay sassily nodded her head and climbed up to sit on the table. I shook my head and laughed as I walked over to the fire place to make breakfast, "Y/n?"

"Yes Darling?" I answered.

"Can we please have eggs again today?" Kay asked.

"Only if you go and get the eggs from the chooks your self." I answered smiling. A bright smile split across the small girl's face and she jumped out of her seat.

"Will you come with me Jack? I can't always reach." Kay innocently asked. Jack sighed and stood up and followed her out of the kitchen and outside to the chicken pen.

I washed the soaked dishes from last night as I waited and dried the rest of the plates. I prepared the table and by then Kay and Jack had returned, "There were five eggs this morning." Jack told me as he handed my the eggs in his hands. Kay handed my the one egg she could fit into both of her hands.

I began to cook them on the pan and waited, "Y/n? Can you teach me how to subtract more numbers today?" Kay asked me.

"Of course I can." I smiled at her adorable face.

"Oh! Can you give me a long division test today too?" Jack asked me. I nodded to them both. I was only sixteen but I was teaching my brother and sister things that they miss since they can't go to school.

This war has been the worst time of our lives. I had to leave the city and come here to protect and live with my siblings after father died in a bombing at mother's hospital... so I had to take up the role of the mother in my family. I had left school and come back here to the farm. It's not connected to the outside world so we are safe from the threats and bombings.
