BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

EPISODE 1

GRACE PROVERB

"Reporting live from channel six news .Yesterday a huge storm and an earthquake hit a small town in Hiddenville .Many lost their lives and homes leaving them either hopeless ,lonely and homeless or both.But luckily the government and well wishers came forth and the survivors will receive all the help they need including a new home for a new begining".(said a voice from the radio)

I've  been listening to the news for almost an hour now.Every channel is talking about the tragedy that just hit us back home.Actually I'm on my way to another town or i don't know what city. I've been on this train for hours. whe are supposed to meet my new family and start a new life. It ain't  easy actually but the so called government had to shift us from our homes for they say the land is too damaged and will continue to be damaged for it is a center of tectonic forces and earthquakes  and all sort of natural disasters they say and will take decades to go back yo it's original self.

Just yesterday i was with my dad inside our simple cottage making  pineapple pie when  dad decided  we should get more red wild barries .so i left for the woods to get some only to come back seeing our cottage squashed by the apple tree next to it with by dad under it , blood comming from his mouth and part of his nails .I quickly dropped my barries and ran towards him.I can clearly remember screaming out his name but there was no response.I tried lifting the tree but it was useless, so i decided to scream  for help only to  hear the ground shake.I got scared and started  started running as fast as i could to the main town center only to find a similar situation.My head started spinning from the site of dead bodies squashed by either trees, houses ,rolling stones and maybe flying carts.

I decided to ran back to my dad only to find our house sinking in the ground .I could only see the tip of the roof.I didn't know what to do for i have never encoutered such an event in my etire 17 years of living.All i was left to do was to watch.To me it seemed that the world was ending.

Having been left with memories of such an event made me wish that i could have just died.

I remember  blacking out from a hit to the head by a flying chair  only to wake up in a train headed to i don't know where.I don't  know weather my dad is dead or alive but from the way i saw him, i am saddened to say it but there is no harm in having a little hope.

I decided to turn around and scan the the passengers  with hope to see him even with bandages or those hospital stuff .Sadly i had no glimpse of him , just gloomy , sad and puffy faces filled the train , the atmosphere  was calm and sad.I felt eyes become watery only to remember dad telling me that he doesn't like it when i cry.I tried fighting off the tears but was all in vain,i let my eyes flow with tears as memories  of the time i had with him flashed across my face. I decided to chorus the song he used to sing to me when i was still a baby.

Do you see what i see.
Do you feel how i feel.
Do you love me how i love you my darling.

           ..........................................

I didn't  know when i fell a sleep  only to be woken up by the choo! choo! sound of the halting train.

"We are now in Veldamore.You can now safely  depart from the train and once again sorry for  what  happened  ".Said the captain.

As we got off the train i had a chance to look aroud clearly. Veldamore is quite a developed place filled with cars street lights and flashy  tall buildings everywhere .we were later on  separated in groups of Orphans,widowed  and more groups.
For the orphans which i was part of we were given to foster parents.I listed as the list was called waiting for my name.

"Grace Marcussen your new home will be with The KRON'S.

  MARCUSSEN(Graces dad..MARC )

"Listen and listen good .If you have to take over the world do not involve my daughter in it.You already have my wife locked up  for 17 years .The deal was that i help you  channel your servants and in return you keep me and my family safe and give me back my wife when all this is over.why on earth would you destroy the town before i had left. I told you to give me one more week to explain to my daughter why we were leaving but no.You had to act right away and now my daughter must be thinking that am probaby dead!". I shouted to KRON'S right hand man.
