It has been a couple of months since I have posted anything, but I felt that this was important... This village was over run by the rebels as well as all of the others have been too...  So i was forced to leave...  still no sign of my friends or family...  

I have made it to a new village, where they have taken me in, and i have found work on a farm...  I don't know how far away the rebels are, but I hope they aren't close....  I really like it here, and I hope that my friends, and older brother might stumble here too...  just as I did...  

I ran into a nice family today, that showed me how to get the next village...  him and his family would talk to me much though, and I could since some fear...  who could blame them though?

We escaped their clutches...  I just ran, not caring who was with me, which I now regret...  My friends and older brother must have fallen behind, because I haven't seen them since we started to run...  I'm all alone now...

They captured us....  the have us all in chains...  they are horrible people, black hearted and mean...  we saw this old man walking by looking for his family, and the captured him too...  They pretended to shoot him, and it was probably the most terrifying thing I have ever seen...

We had a really close call...  The rebels almost caught us...  But we ran...  i don't know for how long, but we ran... Junior say that it was for several miles...   but at least we got away, right?

We left the village this morning...  Embarking on another long journey.

I guess our plan of going around the other villages didn't go so well...  there was a couple of village guards that stopped us, before we even got close to the village...  we thought it was going to be bad whenever we got here, but i guess everything is not what it seems... when we told them where we were from, they warmly greeted us, and started to ask question about how we got here, and what kind of challenges we have been through... It was an amazing feeling to feel loved again...  we stayed the night here, but we have to leave...  i know that the rebels aren't that far behind us, and will hit this town soon...

arrived at the village this morning, and they weren't so happy to see use...  Many of the villagers were scared, and they chased us off...  we decided that we would start to go around every other village that we come contact with...

Its been a long night...  didn't get much sleep, but we still have to press forward...  we should be arriveing at our first village today...   I wonder how they will react to new comers?

Travel

We don't know where to go, so we are just wondering...  everything that we once knew as home was destroyed...  all of my childhood memories...  gone...  all gone

Down Fall

Today was horrible...  Our village was attacked, and I was separated from my parents. My friends and I had gone into town when it happened, so we weren't there at the time....  Thank God...  When we got there, it was abandon, and everything was either on fire, or destroyed. God, please let my parents be ok...
