too,β She whispered back. I took a step away from her, and knelt on the ground holding my arms open.
β Star! Come give your aunty a hug!β I laughed. Star ran towards me, and roughly wrapped her little arms around my waist. I held her close to me, and kissed the top of her head taking a deep breath. β Aunty loves you very much,β I whispered.
βI- I love you too Danty,β She said. I pressed my lips together closing my eyes, and tears came running down my face, and I felt her tiny hand touch my cheek. β Danty, w-why are you crying?β She asked in her tiny little voice.
β Itβs nothing baby girl,β I whispered. I smiled at her, and she gave me a small smile back. I stood up, and felt a tap on my shoulder, and turned around and saw the mother and her son. She watched me closely.
β Youβre a hero,β She finally said. I shook my head.
β Im not a hero,β I said clearing my voice. I looked down at the little boy, and said, β I just did what was right,β I looked back at the mother, and her lips where shaking,
β Thank you,β She whispered. I gave her a smile, and nodded my head. I turned back towards my family, and they all watched me, and I felt my heart breaking every minute that passed.
β I- I know what I didβ¦ Itβ¦ It was the right thing to do,β I said to them. My father took a step closer to me, and slowly removed the necklace that he was wearing. It was an arrow head, and out of all the years I have been alive I have never seen him take it off. He stepped closer, and put it over my head, and it slid down my neck resting on my chest. I looked down at it, and then up at my father. I opened my mouth, and he shook his head.
β I love you with all my heart, donβt you give upβ¦ no matter how hard things will become you canβt give up. You need to come back to your family. You need to come back to us,β he said. I saw the pain in his eyes, and I let out a shaky breath nodding my head. He pressed his lips against my forehead, and whispered, β never give up, whenever things get hard hold this necklace close to your heart and remember us. Remember your family and fight for us,β He said shakily. I nodded my head. There was a loud sharp ringing noise, and the leader stood at the bottom of the ship.
β Itβs time to leave!β He called out. I gave all my family members one last hug, and made my way towards the ship. Each step I took my feet started to feel heavier, and my throat felt like it was closing, and my breathing started to become heavy. I looked around and eyes locked on me giving me sorrowful looks, and I looked away from them. There were boys walking in front of me ready to leave for the camps, and some behind me. As we climbed aboard the ship I felt like my head was spinning. I sucked in a deep breath, and continued to walk, and then I felt a hard shove on my shoulder, and a cry escaped my lips, and I stumbled forward. I heard my father shout, and I stood up, and saw him running towards the ship, and then a gun fire went off, and my father dropped to the ground. My breathing stopped, and I stood their frozen.
β Papa!β I cried. One of the guard shoved me hard onto the ship, and once I was on I turned back around and saw my mother screaming and crying and she dropped down next to my fatherβs motionless body, and I saw Nikki, Star, and Ashley all kneeling down next to my father, and I could hear their cries from where I stood. I felt a hand wrap around the back of neck, and I was dragged forward, and a door was pulled open from the ground, and I was shoved forward, and fell down into the cellar. I landed on the ground with a hard thump a cry escaping my lips, and I looked around and saw dozens of faces watching me intently with sorrowful looks. The rest of the boys where shoved down into the cellar, and everyone went off into their own beds. I sat there and crawled into a corner leaning back against a wall, and the memory of what had happened replayed over and over in my mind. I closed my eyes feeling my body becoming weak.
β Our first night in hell,β I heard a boy say.
I brought my hand up to my chest, and wrapped my hand around the necklace which my father had given to me, and held it against my heart. Goodbye mother, father, Nikki, star, Ashley, and goodbye life. I opened my mouth, and quietly sang to myself.
βPapa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight.β
(Barbra Steisand: Papa, can you hear me?).
