Time of war

It is a time of war and my mother owns a clothing store. She sells flowing dresses with rich colors and hats that are so eloquent that only the wealthy can afford them. One day going to work i see a Priest briskly walking out of the shop and away from the store. He is hunched over like he doesn't want anybody to see him. I walk in and i am greeted by my sister like always except this time it is different. There is a nervousness to her voice. I run up the winding stairs and i look around the large hallway to try and figure out which room my mother is in. I finally see her in a large room to the left sitting on a bed watching TV. i asked her why the priest was here and she says that all of her precious necklaces and rings were stolen. She says that we are now poor and have nothing.
Since we have nothing we have no choice but to ask the local militia if we can join them. I am allowed to join without question but my mother isn't so lucky. The militia is always weary of the wealthy. The wealthy are their enemy, the ones they are fighting. After much talk and my mother revealing that she has a hostage, they let her join. I was shocked to hear that she had a hostage kept somewhere that only she knows about. I screamed at her, begging for her to say that it was a lie but it wasn't. She opened up her heart shaped locket she kept on her neck and showed us a picture. A picture of her and the hostage.
Living with the militia was tough. They barely had enough food to eat and the tents they had were not the best. But i felt more alive living with them than i ever did living with my mother. She always treated me like i was nothing even though i was the oldest daughter. She didn't like that the "lower class" people i hung around. She didn't approve of my "boyish" activities out the shop.
One day while shopping at the store getting necessary supplies for camp, the militia asked my mom if she would ever turn on them. She thought for a second and said, " not right now but eventually i will turn and kill you all."
I turned around and started for her. How could she say something like that? These people were helping us! I asked her how she could be so foolish. She didn't have any money and these people were fighting for the good of all the people. She started to explain that she gave the priest all the jewels so that it looked like we were poor. How else would she have gotten into the militia to learn all their secrets? Somebody from my left told her that she was a fool and that he would kill her before she left the store. She just laughed and held up the locket. She reminded everyone that only she knew where the hostage was and that he would die if they killed her.
I couldn't take it anymore. I rushed from the store and started to run toward my mother's shop. My mother bolted out of the store, hot on my heals. Luckily i was faster so i got to the store first. As soon as i got in, i turned around and locked the door so that i would have a few extra seconds to look. Running past the counter, my youngest sister cried out for me to stop. She knew exactly what was going on and she knew that mother would kill me. I didn't even pause. I continued running when i heard my mother open the front door. I raced up the stairs with all my speed. I reached the top and proceeded to lock that door also. I knew that there wasn't key for that door so i would have a few minutes to look around. I looked down the hallway and saw three rooms to my right and 3 rooms to my left. At that moment, i couldn't remember which room was my moms. I rushed to the right and opened a door...it was my dead sisters old room. I quickly closed it and whispered an apology. i went across the hall and opened another door. This was just a guest room. While walking back toward the hallway, i saw a shadow moving. I hid and waited like a cat ready to pounce. More of the shadow became vi sable and i realized that it was the priest. I jumped out and pushed the man down to the ground and he just laughed. He laughed an evil laugh that chilled my bones. I rushed down to the other end of the hall and looked into a room on my left and knew i was close. I looked to the room on my right and i froze. There on a little table were her necklaces. She had lied to me and everyone else. I was broken. I slowly walked back down toward hall. I opened the door, sat down on a step an waited for the person i called mother to kill me.

I had another dream but i can't remember much of it. All i can remember is that Jaclyn and I were at Greg and Kristin's house and it was raining outside. It was around 9pm and we were all pretty tired. Kristin was going to let us use her umbrella as long as i promised to bring it back. I laughed and told her i would be right back. I started to walk Jaclyn to the car and that is it.
