Prologue
I remember the feeling of being homesick, you feel there’s this emptiness in your heart that can only be filled by being in the comfort of your home… or so I thought. But now I realize it’s not just the place that you call home, it’s also the people inside it that you miss. And the decision that led me to feel this way I would soon learn to never regret...
When I had got there that was all I felt and when I looked at these kids faces I could sense that they were feeling the same way, But their feelings were more intense, more saddened. It anguishedme inside seeing them that way, I wanted to save them, I was determined to save them. Then day by day they were Disappearing like leaves slowly falling off the trees. It hurt me inside knowing I couldn’t save them all, that they were being tooken against their will to some place where I couldn’t save them.
I had a family that was coming for me but I think I knew deep inside that there was no family looking for them. I had thought about and wondered what had happened to them, though I think their grieving and sadden faces gave it away. They were scarred but not physically, emotionally, you could sense it like something horrific had happened that they’d want to forget, or something they would keep buried deep inside. Their hearts ached with pain and heartache and they were hurt by whatever awful things these people had done to them and their families. But all of the looks on these kids faces just made me more determined to get out of here and save them all.
