It had been two months and I had gotten two letters from my parents and Emily. I was starting to get use to being with the Morgans. The only bad thing was I keep having nightmares. The kind of nightmares that made your blood run cold and would just make you wake up screaming like someone was killing you. There was one dream that keep coming back every night. The dream was that I was watching my parents in their hiding place then suddenly the walls in their room would bust down and then they where gone. And after that, I saw Elisabeth and the twins, asleep in their beds and then Hitler came in and grabbed Elisabeth by the hair. She tried to scream but no words came out of her mouth. All I could hear was Hitler’s cold, evil, laugh. The dream felt so real and the visions of the dream came to me at random times. I will be sitting at the table eating with the Morgans and Hitler’s laugh came in my head and I would scream and fall to the ground. I don’t really understand why but the Morgans put up with all my fits and dreams. They treating me with so much love and kindness. They never showed any tears whenever they where around me. They didn’t know that I heard all the breakdowns Mrs. Morgan had late at night. She would cry in her sleep also. I could tell she was having nightmares also. She didn’t scream though. She would just start to quietly wail in the darkness. I never really felt sorry for myself, I felt really bad for the Morgans. They let their only child switch lives with a Jewish stranger overseas and treated me like their daughter. That was something I would feel grateful for till the day I die. Then suddenly something so horrid happened at the least expected time. In the dark of the cold night, when everything was still and silent. There was a loud banging a few rooms down. Then a crash, and loud, harsh voices calling out to each other. I knew where the noise came from. It was my old apartment room. Then I sudenly knew what was happening. Without any warning, the troops came to our apartment building looking for all the Jewish people. They found their way to room number 44. They came in search of my family. I felt like I wanted to hide. I ducked under the covers and prayed that they skip room number 50. I got the feeling that they wouldn’t skip us, that they would not stop till they came to every room. They wouldn’t leave till I was found. The Morgans knew what was happening too. I heard them getting up and coming to my room.
“Be quiet. Remember everything that we have thought you about us, Emily and America. I love you Sophia, you will be safe, I promise.” Mr. Morgan said nervously.
He looked around the room and saw the photos on the night stand. He grabbed them and put them in the wall where all the letters my parents and Emily sent where. He looked around my room and asked me if there was anything that needed to be hidden. I shook my head and he kissed my head and told me to pretend to be asleep.
