In Hiding pt. 10

We had just gotten word that some of my old class mates are in the city. I had volunteered to go and get them out of the city. So I wet at about 1am and got to the block were they had all be located and say that the police were about to break into the first house. This scared me at first but then realized that they didm;t know exactly what house they were in. I ran to the first one where Nels and Zach were hiding (two of my class mates). I told them about the police and offered to take them to the hide out. Nels said he could not leave his sister in the jail, so I told him if he came with me we would try and get her out. Zach had many friends at a different block so he said he would go and hide with them. So Nels and I ran to the next house which is where two of my other class mass were hiding Julianne & Nathan. Juli agreed to come but Nathan had a brother in a different house and was very ill. So nathan went to his brothers house and Juli, Nels and I went outside the city limits, I told Juli to wait for us while Nels and I went to the jail and were able to get Thea out (If you remember, all of the guards had abandoned the prison after the bombing started). We met back up with Juli and I led them to the bunker. Non of the cusins got much sleep that night waiting for us to arrive. When we got there and after everyone was aquatinted with our limitations and guidelines we all sat in a circle and asked Nels, Thea, and Juli many question about the city and how bad things had gotten. They told us about all of the matial laws that had but such restrictions on anyone who did not get a chip in their arm (the chip is the governments way of allowing people to buy food, travel, and do pretty much anything). They told us about the risk that the people took when they hid them. Of course we already knew about the Sunday law and the ban on Bibles. We were all filled with great joy when we say that both Nels and Juli were able to grab a Bible they had hidden away. We had had to leave our bibles in the cave when most of our family was captured. Now that we have more people, we had to do some rearranging. The girls Kori, Juli, and Thea got the loft and we had found some pads in a closet so the guys slept on those. So here we are, the eight of us hiding in a abandoned bomb shelter waiting for our Lord and savior to rescue us from this nightmare. We pray every night that God will protect us and those who are less fortunate and we know He will if we follow Him.
