Can't Be Real.

Chapter 11

Zayden

It was a few weeks later, my nightmares were just them watching at me through the glass while i was surrounded by my knights with my mother holding me.

It was Sunday and i was just sitting on the back patio with my mother, i was smoking and drinking coffee, my mom didn't smoke so she only had her coffee, it was early in the morning so the place was quiet, there was a question floating around in my head for a while so i decided maybe this was the best time to ask her.

"Mom."

"Hmm Baby?"

"i want to ask you a question, is that okay?"

She looked over at me "go ahead."

"How did Ana die?"

She choked on her coffee and looked at me with wide eyes "who?!"

"From that reaction i can see that you know who i'm talking about so don't play dumb."

"I don't think telling you that would be of any help to you." she said easing back into her chair.

"Mom i need to know, i know how everyone else died but i have no idea what happened to her." i pleaded.

Her face got serious "how do you know how they died?"

"I dream-pt about it while i was in the hospital."

I watched as a tear fell out her eye and ran down her cheek before she leaned forward covering her face "i'm so sorry you had to remember that."

"It's okay, i just need to know what happened to Ana."

"She was killed."

"how?"

"I won't give you any details, but they found you and then a few days later they found her body, the poor thing and she was such an angel, there was this guy who killed children-"

I cut her off "what happened to him?!"

"He was executed after they found the remains of other children."

My heart sunk and i wandered if i should really be asking her this but i decided to continue "okay mom, how did you find me?"

She took a sip of her coffee before turning and looking me me straight in the eye "a month had passed since you went missing and everyone had thought you were dead, the whole house became depressed and all the energy was gone so i spent most days in bed, one day i decided to put on the TV, the news came on, i wasn't even sure what they were talking about, but then a picture of you came up on the screen, we all got ready and drove a long way to the hospital. When we finally reached, we had to show them a picture of you they lead us to your room, you were hooked to all these machines and you looked half dead." she stopped taking a shaky breath and continued "it was a few months before you woke up, you were already three months into being six, we were finally able to take you home after a while but after you woke up is when you nightmares and headaches started." she squeezed my hand.

"Where did Ana's family go?"

"Well they came to visit you two times after you were found, they told us they were moving but never said where, by the time you came home another family was living there." she said looking over our fence.

"What about everyone else, did they find them?"

"Yeah and they buried them together."

"Where?"

"Hell no, i'm not telling you that!"
