Her instincts took over. Katie grabbed hold of her skirts with both hands and turned to run. As her booted feet made it to the threshold of the barn she felt herself being thrust forward. Her foot caught the frame of the barn door. She fell with such force to the ground that her elbows skidded along the gravel. She could feel the sting of her skin being torn. She rolled back onto her stomach, scrambled to her feet, trying to get her footing on the dirt and gravel.

She could hear the loud scream of the English's sirens again, the screech of the animals in their pens and the scream of her neighbors. They were faint, but she could hear them. Screaming, that was all she could hear. Screaming and humming, that seemed to get closer by the second.

Katie looked towards the two story farm house that was 50 feet from where she stood. She fixed her gaze on the kitchen light and ran straight towards it, screaming for her Mother.

"Mother" she screamed, bolting towards the safety of her childhood home.

As Katie made it to the front porch, she grasped the wooden railing and pulled herself up the stairs. She yanked open the screen door, pulling it shut behind her. Breathless and exhausted, she leaned against the heavy door and sank to the ground.

She could still hear the faint screaming in the distance. The English's sirens going off every few minutes were getting louder. She'd lost track of how many times she'd heard them. She just knew she didn't want to hear them anymore. Katie pressed her palms to her ears as hard as she could to drown out the noise.

"Katie" Ruth Byler said with panic in her voice. "What on earth happened, are you alright? Are you hurt, Katie?"

As Ruth took stock of her daughter’s condition, the panic began to rise. She dropped the basket of yarn she was carrying and stared in shock at the sight of her eldest daughter. She was filthy and covered in blood. Her hair lay in shambles around her and she was rocking back and forth against the front door.

Ruth hurried towards her daughter and sank to floor in front of her. She reached forward grasping Katie's shoulders. She needed to know what had happened to her daughter.

Katie gasped in horror, shrinking back against the door. She had the look of blood curdling fear in her eyes as she stared at her Mother.

"Katie" said Ruth. "Where are you hurt?"

She could see recognition come into Katie's eyes as she focused on her face. Katie flew into her Mother’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Ruth held her daughter and stood up bringing Katie with her.

"Come Katie, let’s get you fixed up," Ruth said in a soft whisper.
