Matthew POV

I wake up, looking around I see a porcelain white wall surrounding me, with a small window in front of me. Suns rising.

I get out of bed and start aimlessly walking around the house when a middle aged man walks up, "Hows it going young man! You feel better my little soldier?"

'Guess he's my father,' I hug him, but can't seem to speak. My 'father' seems to notice and says, "Matthew, whats wrong?"

I look up to him, and try to show him I can't speak, but clearly, my hand coordination isn't good with how well my dad is understanding me.

"You're hungry? Well lets get breakfast, your brother and sisters are waiting for you! Big Brother Alex will give you breakfast, dads got to work in the factory, remember?" With that, father puts on a coat, and walks out the door.

"Matthew, heres your breakfast and heres your sister's apology for hitting your head," Alex hands him a doll and a beaten egg [or whatever breakfast you want, its not important].

As I finish eating, Alexander, my brother, comes rushing down the stairs in a blue suit, the school uniform for the Middle School and calls us to hurry up, I rush to my room and quickly brush my teeth and get my uniform ready, the uniform consists of a blue collar shirt and light blue pants (Think the color of Jeans), normally I'd also put on white socks but those are missing, 'And it's not like anyone will notice' I say, at least in my head.

I then run downstairs to see my sisters waiting for me.

Amelia, and Erys (The Sisters) are dressed in the same fashion as me, but Amelia has her brown hair tied back while Erys has her hair blond hair in ponytails [Meaning she's a Bitch].

They are also in Elementary School, first grade to be precise, while I'm in 5th and my brothers in 7th. Anyways, my brother soon pushes us out of the house, before quickly following us after locking the doors.

Outside the frigid air and snowy weather hits us, but we're used to this by now, we've been in this winter for 4 and a half years now after all.

As we trudge through two feet of snow before reaching the road, when Amelia suddenly jumps up, completely on guard.

"Another avalanche?" Alexander asks while hugging Amelia, she nods.

'Avalanches', thats what we call it. The explosions of artillery, the gunshots of the rifles just across the mountains echoing to our homes.

Before we know it we arrive at the school. 'Another day...' I sigh, internally.

"Its the Mute!" Yells this pink faced boy, or more like pig. I feel like just running away from him... I wonder what he is to me, you just walk past him trying to ignore his shouts, as I walk into the class, I sit down at my seat (the name is written there) and look around, everyone else is not here.

Out of curiosity I start looking inside of my desk, finding some textbooks and school supplies, I shrug, and keep searching.

A few minutes later, I find this card with a women smiling, I smile back and feel a little warmer, still looking at the picture while going through my desk, I pull out a book, it reads, "Adventures of It Mao!" I look at the summary, it speaks of this foreign land, where wars are fought with swords, bows, and wands, not by guns, artillery, or deadly gas.

Engrossed, I begin to read, not stopping till the teacher hits the bell near her desk, signifying that the class has begun.

I finished the book, and now I'm just reading other high level textbooks, to see if maybe I can do such magic tricks like It Mao did... seems unlikely though.

That pink pig still bugs me, I learned his name, Jordan, I ignore him, because I think if I bother speaking to him things would get ugly, or I might end up getting beat more than I already am.

Father POV

My hand shakes as I see the sender of the paper, the military, I hope I don't have to leave my children, Alex is doing so well though, maybe I can leave the family on his shoulders.

As I open the letter, my fears are confirmed, I've been called to the defense of the port.

I must call the family to share this bad news with them, hopefully they understand that I must go to the front. Or maybe I should leave without telling them, that may be a smarter clue.

No! I must tell them or they will wait for me, they shouldn't. Nobody ever comes back from the front.

Matthew POV

As we sit around the table with some bread we wait for the announcement.

My father opens his mouth, "I've been called to the front children, it'll be a new adventure! I'll send you letters about how much fun it is!"

Brother doesn't look excited to see our father go on an adventure, I wonder why.

But my Sisters seem to be excited to hear of all the adventures that father will have.

I don't know if I'm happy with seeing dad leave though, I mean, there aren't many people around who can say they came back from the front.

Father POV

'I am sorry children, I won't be coming home, I'm sorry. As I walk out of the door I smile and wave goodbye, I wish I could see them one more time...'
