Alejandra+Assyrian+Narrative

__When the Assyrians attacked __
 * “Alejandra, Go get your sisters “my mother told me. So I went to go get my sisters they were getting water at the river while I was helping my mom with the cooking and cleaning. Then my sisters and I went to go get our father he was at the fields where he works it wasn’t so far from our house so we ran because I noticed my mom was worried then when we all got home my sisters and I had to go to the room while our mother and father talked. My older sister and I overheard something about an attack we knew we were going to have to run from the attack. We got boxes and started packing up food, some water, and some clothes we ran outside with our little sister and told our mom and dad we knew about the attack so we would have run and hide to some were the Assyrians won’t find us. Minutes after when we had left we heard yelling, crashing, and so many scary sounds. My sisters and I were really scared about what was happening we didn’t even know what was going on why they were attacking only our parents knew and they wouldn’t say a word about it we were really, really scared. All my little sister did was cry, but that was only for a while until we heard all kinds of yelling and crying and nothing but the horrible sounds of the killing and yelling .It was so horrible It was really sad because all of a sudden we heard nothing, but women crying when the attack ended because the Assyrians killed the peoples loved ones and that’s really sad. Then I saw red in the river because when they killed the people their blood will go into the river. I didn’t even want to be there anymore and I didn’t want to see all the blood and the river, it was horrible and scary. **
 * Then all of a sudden we couldn’t hear anything else we were sure the attack was over and we were pretty sure that the Assyrians killed most of the people in our little town. **
