Chapter 3: Why Now?
The scene before us was bodies, blood, and mass panic. My mom pushed us behind her at the sound of approaching yelling. Suddenly, a loud bang, something, I had never heard before, pushes me into motion.
I pulled out of my moms grasp and ran towards the sound of the screaming and away from men yelling. My dad has to be over here somewhere. I searched for him among the bodies before I finally saw a line a people being brought out by the river, there he is!
I took off running before I heard my mother scream my sister's name. I stopped dead in my tracks. I left them there, my mom and sister are back towards home, and back towards those yelling men.
I turned around, and found the back of a mans hand.
"What are you doing running around like a lost little lamb, girl?" My vision blurred, and my left cheek and eye throbbed. I was hearing men shouting on every side of me.
"Take her with the rest of the women."
"She's old enough for a good night with me I'd say."
"All the men should either be dead or moved to the war criminals encampment for front line training."
I started to cry as they dragged me in the direction of the other women they had gathered. I didn't see my mom, but immediately made eye contact with my sister. She was beaten badly and not close enough to me for us to be able to talk.
I saw some of the other girls I recognized from the village as well, and I tried to speak to them about what was going on. It was the Devil King, he came with his new weapons to take our village. The girl next to me, Shiri, told me about how her brother was a soldier, and about the Oda using matchlock rifles*. Some sort of Portuguese mechanism that uses gun powder and lead ball to fire at other people.
My eyes widened in fear again, was that the loud bang from earlier? I shivered. That's when I noticed my sister whispering to two of the other girls next to her, she motioned to me and to the men watching us.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

bhabbott1272 Many historians actually credit the invention of modern gun technology to the Chinese. With the creation of gun powder and the lead ball for bullets, the matchlock was added to guns by the Portuguese and traded to most of the world. Thus being a fairly new concept to those of the 15th century.
