Falling apart.

About 6 months after Loung's sister died, soldiers come to her families hut and say they need her fathers assistance in pulling a wagon out of a ditch. Her father knows that they are going to kill him, he says his goodbyes to his family. The soldiers still assure her family that he will be back in a few days, she doesn't know why the soldiers bother lying anymore, she knows what's going to happen, everyone knows. After her father leaves her and her whole family sit on the porch waiting, waiting for him to return, when it gets dark, only her mother is left on the porch and she sits there for a while until finally returning to sleep, the next day she works comes home and sits on the porch, this continues on for a few more days. When it is obvious that he is not returning, Her mother makes Chou, Kim and Loung leave. She tells them to walk. and walk separate directions until they get to a work camp, she says to tell them they are orphans and use fake names. that is the only way they will survive. While walking Kim does as his mother says and walks in a different direction. Chou and Loung did not want to leave each other so they went together. they came along a work camp They used fake names and said they were Orphans. Everyday they work, long hours and what not. When the camp leader sees that Loung is stronger then the rest of the girls, she says she will be transfering her to a soldier in training camp. there she is taught how to fight. What happens next? I don't know find out!
