__**Image Writing No. 1**__ Mama, Sis and I were lying on our little beds in the midst of the steerage deck. "sis?" I asked in a small voice. "Yes?" she replied. "What are you thinking of right now"? "That everything will be okay." she said quietly. "It will, won't it?" Fear arose in my voice. That was when Mother walked over. "It is time to get off." We have arrived at Ellis Island. Sis and I both let out one huge gasp in unision. We gathered our belongings along with everyone else and started blimbing up the flights to the middle deck. After we got off the ship, the guards led us to the places where we were to be "inspected". The guy pointed at mother and mother walked over with Sis and i trailing not far behind her. I watched in fright as they used a buttonhook to hold up her eyeslids. The man squinted and suddenly straightened up as if afraid to be here any longer. He motioned for a bulky guy in a military uniform to come over. It wasn't until then that I noticed he was armed with a pistol. Reluctantly, he marched over to Mother and with an over-sized piece of white chalk, marked her jacket. Mother's face turned the color of the chalk and grew hard. It seemed that there was something she knew that Sis and I couldn't comprehend.

"Gomen, Gomen!" the asian lady kept repeating. Slowly, James stare descended to his battered shoe. The lady had made it worse than encessary. He glared at her and went on his way. He didn't even look back to stare into the guilt-filled eyes of the woman. Half an hour later... James grumbled as the immigrants made their way towards him for inspection. This was a truly tedious task and he did not enjoy staring into so many foreign faces in one day. He glared at everyone who came up to him and gave them okay signals. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spied the japanese lady that had stepped on his shoe earlier. //This should be interesting// he grinned. When it was her turn to come up, she smiled at him. He looked at her but didn't return the flawless smile she had given him. He lifted her eyelids with his fingers and looked into her horrified eyes as he marked her jacket with a piece of chalk.

“Papa, I will not go!” she cried. Sophie, you will do as I say” was his reply. “YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!” and with that, she slammed the door and ran outside. The maid started to go after Sophie but he stopped her. “She will come back after she has all this figured out.” “Yes, Master.” Meanwhile… Sophie ran as fast as she could. //I have to get there. I have to tell Damien.// After a while, Sophie arrived at a small little house. Without even thinking, she knocked on the door and screamed out, “Damien!” A tall boy with a slender build and light brown hair opened the door with a smile. “Damien!” Sophie threw herself into his arms. “Sophie? Is anything the matter?” he said as he stared into her dark brown eyes with his hazel ones.
