History.
She lay on her back in her cot, with her arms behind her head, staring blankly at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and let it out in a wide awake sigh. Her bedtime had been over 2 hours ago, and she just couldn't get to sleep when she knew her father had gone back to the front.
He had told her he'd brought her out so far away so she'd be safe from the shelling and mine fields, but she knew he'd also lied to her, because the first night they were there, shelling erupted less than 3 miles from the tent they called home.
It was August 13, 1949, and she'd just turned 7 years old a few days before. The fighting had begun a few days later, and her father was called to the front.
He was a Major, but he still fought in the front like he would have been little more than a private. Chelsea hated it, and she cried herself to sleep since he got the call. Chelsea was now stuck living with her obsessive nanny, and she didn't even speak english.
Chelsea, thank god, had known chinese since she learned to talk, and she could communicate with her. Chelsea had always been an army brat, her mom and dad divorced when she was a newborn, and her mom later went into thin air, like she didn't even exist.
She had been without a mom her whole life, and it didn't bother her any. She never got used to her father having to be away, and she never would.
Little did she or her father know, that when he'd told her he loved her and to behave, and kissed her goodbye that night, her birthday, that it would be the last time they ever saw each other again.
