Everything is so clear in my head yet so confusing. There was shouting and firelight in the darkness, then the smell of burning and my people screaming. Outside our home I saw our enemies. They had flaming torches and were shouting. There were so many of them. The smoke, the fire and the noise - I was confused. I felt a blow to my head then hands grabbing me. My mother screamed then fell silent with the explosion that seemed to come from one of our enemies. Then I went to sleep. I wish I had stayed asleep. When I woke I was far from my home. I was very scared. I thought that I was to be a slave of our enemies. There were other men from my village with me but their looks told me that things were very bad for us. They were right.
