Hi everyone.
Our village started changing very fast, we were awaken by strange noises that we are not used to hearing. We arrived at the beach around 6:00 am to see Francisco, starting to build his colony.
Francisco de Almeida did not listen to the threat our Cheif made about calling a war. I knew the Cheif would keep is promise. I kept wondering, would our land be destroyed forever? I stood there and watched the Cheif give them one last warning to leave our land. Francisco told the Cheif that the land was his. Our Cheif said some strong words to Francisco and his crew, then he turned to us and told us to go and get ready for war. They gathered there spears, bows and arrows, flaming torches, and other weapons that they had and followed the Cheif.
I watched as all the village men went to prepare for war. All the wives stood there and watched there husbands go off to fight, knowing that there was nothing they could say or do. We were told to remain in our huts.
It was hard to just walk off and leave John knowing that I might not see him again. My Mom, my sister, and I followed our instructions and went home to our huts.
