Suddenly there was a crash in the house. The ones sitting in the kitchen exchanged concerned glances and in one second they jumped up from the chairs they were sitting on.

The sound was coming from upstairs, so they assumed it was in Vivienne's room. They immediately ran there and rushed inside. They saw Vivi kneeling on the floor, clutching her head and breathing heavily. On the other side of the room, precisely on the floor, was the small lamp that always was on her desk, but this time it was in pieces. This was most likely the source of the earlier noise. The blonde girl didn't even notice the company of two other people in her room. She was shaking, still holding her head.

Vivienne saw a large mansion that looked like a palace. She was surrounded by a huge garden full of all kinds of greenery and colorful flowers. In addition to the plants, there was also a white gazebo and a small lake. The entire property was fenced with a beautiful wall. The girl ran inside the building.

"Aime! Aime! Aime!" She shouted, running around the house. She was constantly looking for someone, but it wasn't working out very well. She was already on the verge of crying. She kept running, entering every room, and there were a lot of them. In one of them she saw an elegantly dressed woman.

"Mom! Where is my brother?" She asked worriedly, looking up at the woman's face.

Vivienne was much shorter than her. She must have been very young.

"You won't see him again." The woman said calmly.

"What...?" Asked the now terrified girl.

"Aime is sick and can't live with us anymore. He will spend the rest of his life in hospital." Her mother explained.

"No!" She shouted indignantly. "Where is he now?"

"His father should be leaving with him right now." The woman looked at the large wooden clock standing by the wall.

After these words, Vivienne ran like a torpedo from the room, tearing the white dress she was wearing against the door handle. This didn't stop her and she finally ran out of the house.
From a distance, she saw a tall man and her older brother at the gate, preparing to leave the mansion.

"Aime!" She started screaming, running towards him.

A boy older than her looked at her with tears in his eyes, holding a suitcase in his hand. He gently fixed his hair and turned his head so she wouldn't see his tears.

"Aime!" She shouted again, this time running to the boy and hugging him with all her strength. "Why are you leaving me?" She asked, looking into his face, which he kept turning to the side. "Aime!" She screamed, even though he was standing right next to her.

"Vivienne, let him go..." His father said, pulling the girl away from him.

"Why are you taking him?" She asked, angry and very sad at the same time.

"Aime is sick." He answered her briefly.

The boy still didn't react to anything. He was standing backwards. You could only hear how hard he was breathing. After a few seconds, he suddenly moved. He turned to Vivienne, grabbing her gently by the shoulders. She then noticed his tear-filled eyes and a strand of hair falling on his face.

"Everything will be fine, Vivi." He smiled, even though he felt great pain.

"Why... why are you leaving me?" She asked tearfully, looking up at his face.

"I have to leave this house for a while... but I will come back to you, I promise." He hugged her tightly, wiping her tears with one hand.

"We don't have time anymore. Let's go." His father said in a cold tone.
