Maia Wojciechowska
In chapter one the main character Maia Wojciechowska wakes up from a dream to the sound of a plane. She thinks it is her father's, but when she runs outside with her new puppy to see, Maia finds out that it is not her father's plane. The plane flies over parallel with her running dog. The dog jumped up for a brief moment, then there was a sound and her puppy never got up again (the puppy was shot). She started hating everything. Afterwards, a car pulled up. The driver was a friend of Maia's mother, whom Maia did not like. Maia didn't want to go with them, but she didn't protest because if she did she might cry. Ever since she could remember, when Maia got hurt she had to do something mean. The driver took Maia, her mother, Krzys, and Zbyszek to a sixth-floor apartment in Warsaw. Through the window she could see fires, people running, pile-ups of vehicles. The driver left them locked in the room. A bomb went off and her mother was getting worried. The driver came back and told them he saw their father and they were to take a train, go through Rumania to France, where they were to join their father (husband for the mother). Maia's father was always gone and it made her very sad. She cried about that a lot.
" She liked the note she had written. Her mother said she took and oath not to speak a word to the officers. Her father had picked some catalogues of boarding schools for her. One time her older brother Zbyszek and his friends tied her to a tree and told Maia she had to scream when they lit the logs that were under her feet. Her mother felt guilty because she had left her relatives behind. On her way out from dinner on evening, Maia met Maria Wolska. But they children were organized by Zbyszek who became the leader overnight. But Maia said no and she wanted to be the only person on the ship that didn't. Then they went up to Maria's room and talked about a secret that Maria said she tell after the dance. Maia and Zbyszek decided that they were going to mow down the Germans as they came into town. The grandest of hotels had become the Gestapo headquarters. Maia stood still and yelled at the pilot because of her dead puppy.
