The truck was rumbling along an old dirt road.It has been days since they ripped me from my family,Who i don't know if they are dead or alive.I think we just crossed a border of a country.I have spent days in the back of this truck tied up like a hostage,Scared to death that they are going to kill me at any time it pleases them.The truck has finally stopped,Maybe they will kill me now. But instead soldiers come around the back of the truck to open it up and hoist me out of it."Have Fun In Italy,Princess" He puts a sneer on the end of princess.Italy? I think frantically to myself I've never been to Italy i don't speak Italian and i have no family member or allies here."Shut up the other soldier says you know you're not supposed to tell her, her location" As soon as the soldiers hoist me out them and the truck is gone."OK Tatiana,Think how are you going to get out of these ropes"I say aloud "I could cut them" A voice says from behind me.Dread Fills me body i f they recognize me they will turn me into the revolutionaries for sure."Thank you but i really don't need your help i'm just playing a game with some friends." I say cheerfully although inside i am terrified."Then why did those men lift you out of the truck?"It seemed like the voice belonged to a little girl .I turned around it was a little girl maybe 10-12. How am i going to get her to cut me out of these ropes now? When i just lied to her."It seems my friends have forgotten me, so can you please cut me out?"I say with a sickly sweet smile."You still haven't answered my question" The little girl says firmly,Arms crossed over her chest. Ughhhhh I don't have time for explanations they could come back at any minute! "Those were bullies from school" i try to explain. "Alright" she says.She then brings out a small pocket knife."Whoa Whoa Whoa be careful with that thing" i exclaim."Don't worry I've used it all of my life" As soon as she cuts me free i stand up."Thank you kindly miss." i say,again with a sickly sweet smile."I must be on my way now" "No No No" she says. My heart sinks, she knows who i am."I have done you a favor now you must do me one" She says stubbornly " Alright i guess that's fair what do you want me to do?" "I want you too help my papa, he's sick" she says sadly "i'm not a doctor!" i exclaim "No but you're a nurse, i know exactly who you are so unless you want me to tell everyone, help my papa."She says fiercely "Fine i will help you, Under tow conditions." i say calmly. inwardly i am shaking with fear. "Your not really in any place to be making conditions Missy." "Please" i beg. "Alright" she says "But make it quick" "1. i want to know your name." "Anna Pavel" she replies quickly "2. i want to know how to get safe passage to England."
