A Thunderous Whisper

Prompt: In few paragraphs, summarize what you read today.
Warning: There are 2 spoiler alerts in here! One is in the second paragraph and the other in the third!!!!
One big event that happened in these pages that I read was that Adolf Hitler attacked the poor little town of Guernica. Guernica is Ani's home town, and where Mathias was living for now. Ani and Mathias ran to a hole to cover for safety when they saw the planes were about to attack. I think that it would be super scary especially for them because they were by themselves. Mathias was worried about his parents and so was Ani. They stayed in the hole until it was all over.
As soon as it was all over Ani ran to find her mom, and Mathias ran the opposite direction to find his parents. As Ani was walking she saw dead bodies everywhere. Along with dead bodies there was smoke, and buildings on fire. For this was the most horrible day in Guernica. She knew that her mom was in the market when the attacking had began. So she went to where she knew the market was. At the market location there was dead bodies scattered everywhere. For she feared that her mother had died. As she fell down to her knees crying and scared, wondering where her mother was, Padre Inaki found her and told her exactly what happened to the market. For it was the first targeted spot.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
She had found out that her mother had died in the attack. At first she did not want to believe it, but then she started realizing the truth and she faced it.
Then as she ran to find Mathias, she was crying so hard. Then she saw his makila and at that instant she knew it must be him. She went toward him and found him just like she was on his knees.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
He found his parents dead and burned on the ground. For all Mathias wanted to do was kill Adolf Hitler. He was furious but at the same time devastated. Mathias finally got relaxed and they decided to go with Garza. When they got there they found a lot more kids who had also lost their parents. Mr. Garza and Mrs. Garza had been taking in children who lost their parents, or they were lost, or their parents were injured.
They stayed there for and practically lived there now. Ani was worried for her papa because he was fighting in the front line in the war. Mathias wanted to go to Germany to be a solider and fight the Natzis. Then a couple days later they announced that the surviving front line solders were coming to Guernica to see their loved ones for only a couple of hours. When Ani heard she ran straight to Guernica to look for her papa. It took her a while, but she finally found him. Her father hugged her and then told her the news. He told her that she had to move to England so he could be safe. She wanted Mathias to come, but Mathias was going to Germany so Mathias turned down the offer. She was sad to leave her home town.
