Bruno picked up his little sister Katrina and started running for it. They had been hiding together ever since their parents had been taken from them about a year ago. He didn't remember where he was now. The soldiers were gaining on them from behind and Katrina was crying in his arms, but for some reason Bruno was convinced they could make it. Then the car jerked him forward and he was thrown down. They scrambled out of their car, 3 of them going toward Katrina who had been thrown from his arms in the fall, and the others went to him. "Bru-un-nooo!!!!" Katrina screamed and the guards pulled her blonde curls hardly and threw her in a truck. He squirmed trying to get free to help her but they were too strong, even for him. He was then thrown into the other truck where there were already a few people, but he didn't care to pay attention to them. "Oh this is just fantastic." he hissed before the doors slammed shut and they drove away.

Liao examined the no guy that was just thrown in. "a funny time for sarcasm" Liao admitedly to the stranger aloud. Obvious based on the comotion he was fighting to stay with some female that sounded like a little girl.

OOC: in!

IC: When I had sat there in almost a week i was about to go insane. I slept almost all the time, in sitting position, and now the guards had gone out of the truck. Yelling outside woke me up and i realized something was wrong. I hoped it was something really bad. Like the guards died or something, but it hadnt beed a long time before a chinese man was thrown into the truck. He hardly noticed me and i didnt say anything to him. He seemed annoyed, but i would be more annoyed if i was thrown into the truck like that! I was even worse when i first had got in here.
Not long after a crying woman came into the truck. Great! Another one that was taken away from her family. The Chinese man tried to console her, and it helped a little, though the woman seemed to be totally broken hearted. And then a man.
"Oh, this is just fantastic." he said.
Sarcasm didnt help, thats for sure.

"sir...how long before we will be underway" Liao asked one of the guards in as polite and proper a way as possible hoping to get an answer that was not an inslut and somewhat accurate.
One guard gave him a rather odd look "any second now...you shouldn't be so eager those....I don't want to march to my death" the guard said before he marched off.
Liao had an less then enthusiatic look on his face what is this the next holocaust he though to himself as the engine started and the truck began inching forward as the last poor souls were tossed on board.

Yuki just sat there, shaking a little, it took a few minutes, but she stopped crying. But still she was distraught, how could they have taken those kids from her!? She had been taking care of them since she was eight-teen after their parents went off to serve.
She had recieved no letters or phone-calls since and those kids had nothing else, Yuki had nothing else. Seeing the man thrown into the truck next to her with a clump she looked at him.
His words only made her feel worse, she didn't like sarcasm, it only ever seemed to tear down. But she shook herself, putting on a brave face, and she tried to sit up straight and act as if nothing was wrong.
It didn't work, her face seemed filled with grief and it had finally hit her as she put her hand to the back of her neck that her hair was really very short now. Her head was hurting a little from where the guards had grabbed at it and pulled her about roughly, but as she looked at Liao to her other side she didn't feel as bad, but she couldn't quite get how he was so sunny even at this moment in time.
In part she looked down at her hands and just thought about it, the children would all probably be going to another camp, like in world war one, or a boarding school that involved them being taught in the ways of the enemy so that when they grow up they give their allegence to whoever captured them in the first place. The thought terrified Yuki as she noticed one of the gaurds answering Liao about marching off to death.
What if it was all worse than that, what if it wasn't a quick thing? Maybe it wouldn't be bad at all. No, she thought. It was probably very bad, but at least if she did have to live and work through whatever it was that she would be given, she'd have the chance to see her brothers and sisters again. The oldest was just thirteen and the youngest only five so hopefully if they were kept together they'd stay strong.
"Perhaps," She spoke quietly like a mouse, she wasn't normally this quiet but she couldn't quite get past her nerves, so the low volume would have to of done. She had then suddenly realised she didn't know what she was going to say and sighed. "Sir, how is it you stay so... Um, observant?" She asked timidly.

I had been on a small trip to Norway to meet one friend I got there and when I was there it suddenly came over the papers , on the tv and on the radio thar now the third world war had come . I got shocked and my toughts went to my children , a two year old boy , Espen, and his twin sister Lina . i jumped on the first plain I could get and went home as quicly as i could . But when I came home there was no home . The house was burned down , and my children and husband was gone. I was totally in shock . I didnt know where to go , so I tried to find a hotel , but the first was burned down , and on the second guards waited and at once they saw me they ran towards me and knocked me down . They put me in a bag and sent me to Spain . The first one I met / heard when I came was Sophie . Or I didn't know who she was but when they pulled me into the main room the first I heard was someone shouting " Let-go of me !"

Liao heard the Japanese women say something to a sir and obsevent, then rest of her words he peaced together. Deciding that most of what he would need to adjust to was where they were going he moved through the cramped truckbed and kneeled next to her. "You asked about me?" he asked "I must learn about my circumstances and those in it if I am survive" he stated matter of factly "although these men are unscouplous for the moement they are not demons...just men in a demons skin...so they have yin in the yang". Liao then completly sat next to the the meek women "My name is Liao, my surname is Zhang, I am a Mozi so those ideas to me are the paramount of practicality and comfort in myself and the nature of our captors" he said. He felt like me was taliking alot with was normally something he enjoyed however this situation called for him to use to needs with his limited tools.

Bruno shot a look at the Chinese man, Liao was his name apparently. Sarcasm was just the way Bruno dealt with things, even though it made most people upset. He was about to say something, or shout at the guards demanding to know where Katrina was going, but decided against it. These guards were vicious and would probably tear him down the second he opened his mouth. He half-listened to the conversation Liao was having with the japanese woman, while the other half of his mind wandered to Katrina. He knew they were going to a camp, he wasn't stupid. He just wanted to know which one, and if he and Katrina would end up at the same one. Bruno's eyes started to water and he turned his head away from the others as a single tear fell down his face.

Suddenly I saw someone sitting in the corner. I recognize her. It was Sofia, the girl i was named after, my best friend in sweden many years ago. She once saved my half brother from drowning. That was ages ago, but my parents was so thankful that they named me after her.
I got replaced when i was twelve years old, just so you know, and my fosterparents hated my old name. Alex.
"Sofia?"

"I'm Yuki," She said noticing the way that Liao still seemed to be calm about all things. She was a little confused by his statement but gave a nod, it did seem rather odd him talking so much about demon skins.
For a moment she thought about it and actually started to agree with the odd chinese man, but she couldn't do as he did, it wasn't something she was at all good at. She could stay calm, true, but in the way that he did without anger, not even a little, she couldn't do that.
Looking in the darkness at him crouched by her; Yuki was unsure of what might be at the camp and how she would react. Would she break, she wondered?
It didn't much matter at that time, she just shifted herself forward a little and looked at one of the guards drifting off to sleep. "I'm glad you have found some form of comfort even in this horrible time Liao, but, I don't think I shall rest until I know my children are safe... It is hard to stay calm as you do when you have to worry about your brothers and sisters." Yuki didn't know why she was explaining her worry, maybe she would have been ok if they were safe and taken care of. But as she took in a deep breath Yuki just felt her reserve melting like snow in the hot sun. That was what her name meant in Japanese, 'Snow'.
She had a nature as soft as snow so it served her well, but she could be easily broken down just like ice as it melts to heat.

Liao shook his head "your goal is to get back to your siblings right? if you worry yourself you will become less healthy and in worse condition to help your family" he said. "besides.....I plan on escaping the first chance I get....and I can't win this game without allies" he continued. Liao felt sympathy for the very fragile minded girl who seemed to very reactive to things instead of being proactive, however this was a situation in which he could hardly blame her harshly. Having been raised as an orphan left him with only a rather vauge idea of family since his foster family kept him in boarding schools.

Bruno stayed in the corner of the truck listening to Liao and Yuki's conversation. In spite of himself, he felt very bad for her. He was always worrying about Katrina, but she had to deal with many brothers and sisters. He was even starting to agree with Liao, he was a pretty weird guy, but he was smart, and he was certainly acting a lot calmer than him. Though, how he planned to escape, Bruno had no idea, so he decided to question him about it.

"How exactly do you plan to escape?" He asked coldly, then he sighed. "Look I'm sorry. I'm Bruno, by the way, and Yuki, I'm really sorry about your brothers and sisters. They just took my little sister Katrina away from me, so I kind of know how it feels." he explained, easing up.

Liao heard looked the sarcastic guy over "not a problem....these situation bring out the worse in people, not the best" he stated. Liao though for a while " I don't really know how I will escape yet....just that that is what I will envision happening...then I will make it happen" he siad not at all worried about the lack of specificity in his plan.

Yuki looked over at Bruno after hearing what Liao had said, she did in fact agree with him on what he had said, but it was difficult. She couldn't just drop her emotions right then and there, but she knew that she could fight through them and make herself strong by just the thought of being able to hug her youngest brother, Meko, again.
She had found it strange, though, to hear Bruno speak without sarcasm in his voice, but she gave him a weak smile, as if to say thank you without words. She did not need them, even if her smile was as watered down wine, it was still there for a moment or two.
Though it made her wonder, hearing that Bruno had lost his sister too, how many had been torn from their homes and families and been forced to live apart, in worry and in fear. She looked from Liao who had been answering the question that Bruno had posed. Yuki herself was quite interested in this idea and hoped, that perhaps, there might be a way that she could help, just to get back and see her siblings.
But as her eyes turned back to Bruno she put her hand on his shoulder, not knowing whether he was fond of human contact or not, and she opened her mouth to speak. It took a second or two for words to come but finally they did.
"As sarcastic as you may seem, I understand why. It's hard having to worry about someone else above yourself, especially when you love them and then see them taken away. Though it's a horrible thing, I'm glad that someone else understands it." She said, unsure as to whether this would be the right thing to say. Yuki was a girl of deep thought, though timid and seemingly fragile, she was able to read people and their emotions, maybe not on a logical level, but in a way that at least meant that she could now take the sarcasm from Bruno. She knew his reasons, it was his way of coping. While she curled up in a ball and kept to her thoughts, Liao did similar by observing too, but on the logical calm level that Yuki couldn't quite attain and Bruno lashed out with his tongue and wit.
It was simple for her not to feel hurt by anything that Bruno said as she knew it was most likely his frustration talking. She felt it too, that weighing down where you're trapped and unable to do anything, with no control or idea as to what is happening to you and those you love. It's a tough thing to handle, regardless as to whether you have five kids to look after or just one.
"Liao," Yuki looked forward, rather than at anyone, she was curious about something. "I wouldn't mind helping you escape, but even if I did, how would I be able to find the children?" She had a thought that maybe they were taken to all the same place, that maybe it would be simple enough just to find that place and maybe find Bruno's sister, too. Maybe if Bruno thought about it too, it might put him into a mind about helping, if escape was actually at all possible?

Liao smiled "excellent, it will be much easier with a few people helping me" he said rather satified with his current situation suddenly. He looked at yuki, then to bruno and back at yuki both of whom had higher reasons to escape then his selfish motive of purpusing his happiness which was contray to his philosphies and what he stood for. "If i am going to help rescue your family in addition to us there is no reason to escape until we know where they are...or at least an idea" he said "once we escape they will surely come after us for a few days so we will be in no condition to wonder around or be lost while searching for your familes.......the longer we wait...the quicker we will go" he continued.

Liao turned his attention to Bruno "you in....keep in mind that if you accept your chances of dying will go up compare to solely focusing your engergy and hopes on survival" he said.

Yuki looked at Liao and hoped that they would figure it out sometime soon; she didn’t really know how they would do so. But maybe she could fish the guards for clues once at the camp they were being sent to. It made more sense that she does this as sweet talk came easier to girls than it did to men, and as strange as it would sound, female guards were harder to crack even by men. It was a thing of wonder that this was so, but most men would seemingly have a soft spot for the woman of a camp such as this where they’d probably be missing their own families if they had any.
There was just one problem with Yuki’s plan, she was no good at flirting, though subtlety and beauty is on her side. She didn’t much think of herself as pretty or attractive and right now it didn’t matter, if only she had the skills to actually pull anything like this off. It was somewhat sad that she had no other better ideas for snooping than getting a guards attention through batting her eyelashes, she didn’t even think it had a chance, seeing as she was inexperienced and furthermore had no idea as to whether anyone would be enticed into sharing information blindly by her banter or looks.
But she put that all to the back of her mind as she couldn’t do any of that until she got to the camp, if only she could figure out a better way? Maybe there was one, perhaps Liao or Bruno could help, they both looked comprehending, Liao was better with the taking out of action and Bruno probably the idea in the first place, but Yuki couldn’t know for sure yet.
“I think you’re right, Liao, only my ideas for getting information may not be so good.” She said shyly going red; she couldn’t really see herself ever being flirty; especially to men who repulsed her.
