I was playing with my toys in our new found home when I heard people beginning to shout in terror. I looked up when the people in the room tensed and one of them ran to me and picked me up. "We have to run!" They told the others. I was cradled against his chest as he ran from the building.

We made it a far ways before something happened. He gasped and started gurgling. He wobbled and before he fell to his knees, I was snatched and cradled against someone else. They were wearing a white cloak. That's all I could tell from what I was allowed to see. I heard him give orders to his men.

"Put me down!" I demanded. He shushed me.

"Don't worry child. I will protect you from these heathens." Heathens? I glared at him.

"Their not heathens." I defended. He didn't listen to me.

…

I was bringing my kill back from the woods, to eat, when I saw Rome standing at my front door. I sighed. He doesn't get a hint does he? I dragged my kill to the door before opening it. He smiled at me when he spotted me.

"Ah~! My friend! How are a you?"

"I thought you never wanted to speak to me again." I stated as I dragged my kill into the building. My men came running to prepare lunch.

"I could a never imagine leaving my a friend alone a forever! I am a civilized being." He replied, frowning.

"Never said you weren't." I answered, sitting down. "Now why don't we just skip the formalities and get to why you came here in the first place." I told him, giving him a serious look. He stared at me.

"I a heard that your child's kidnappers were attacked a few weeks ago. It should be in a no time that you get your a child back. I thought I would a give you the a good news." He beamed at his success. "And I know just how to tell them where they need to a leave the child. Don't worry! You will have a family reunion in no a time!" He said.

"Rome, don't you dare do that!" I demanded. "I don't want my child back! He's best where he is!"

"With strangers?" He asked.

"Peaceful strangers!"

"You could be a peaceful too, you know!" He shouted back. I'd begun to lose my temper again.

"If you get him back here, I swear to God I will put a permanent end to our friendship!" I shouted at him. He paled, looking at me horrified. "I don't know how else to prove to you I am one hundred percent serious about this." I told him. I regretted those words when I saw him trying not to cry.

"You may not be a savage but sometimes you sure know how to act like one." He replied before turning to leave. I sighed when he closed the door behind him. I fell in my chair with my hands to my face.

…

I was sitting in the biggest room ever. It was Hermann's room. He's the guy who had snatched me. They'd defeated the 'Prussians' easily. Over and over. Before I get ahead of myself, I need to explain what I know. Hermann calls the nomads Prussians, they come from Prussia. Hermann is the 'Grand Master' of the 'Teutonic Knights'. The Teutonic Knights and the Prussians are fighting over Prussia. Though it feels more like their fighting over who gets to keep me.

Back to the subject, by over and over again I mean the Prussians refuse to give in to the Teutonic Knights and let them keep me. The Teutonic Knights in turn refuse to lose the battle and let them get me back. I feel like I'm just an item to be won in their minds. Don't they know I am a person?

I had a room even bigger than the one I was in right now, though they refuse to let me be alone in fear I will be 'kidnapped'. That's what I heard them say. I have tried to just get up and leave but I was never allowed to be alone.
