Chapter 1-part 1:Home is hell
Edwin was just zipping his jacket as he glanced through the window.The darkness of the night was filling the voids between the branches of the trees.The forest,young as it was,was surrounding the Conners' house.The moon's light was sparkling on the surfface of the lake and it made all the water glitter.Edwin liked neither the forest,nor the lake.Both were unsettling to think about,but that was only his little 7 years old mind that felt overwhelmed by such images.
His dad called Edwin's older brother,Kyle:
"Come on,kid,hurry!"
And Kyle quickly responded:
"In a moment!Let me just pack a few more stuff,and..."
"NO!Now!You know we don't have time!"he was interrupted by his father abruptly.
''Dan,calm down!The kids know,they're doing their best and Ian and Clara haven't phoned yet,so where would we go?" Edwin's mom said.
"Anywhere is safer than here!And you know it,darling!"
"You're scaring the children,Dan,please get a hold of yourself."
With his little,dried lips,Edwin tried to say:
A)Why are we leaving? B)What are we going to do at uncle Ian's?
C)I'm kinda scared,mom... D)...
C)Mi-e cam frica.mama...
"E in regula,draga,sa-ti fie frica,dar trebuie sa tii minte mereu ca ai oameni pe care poti conta in jurul tau."
"Deci,pot conta pe voi?"
Mama sa zambea:"Desigur!"
Tatal d-abia daca deschise bine usa si imediat cazuse la pamant dandu-si ultimle suflari,avand camasa strapunsa de nenumarate gloante.Fiecare foc de arma parca se auzea mai tare ca cel din urma in urechile mailiei Conner.Mama lui il lua si o tuli la etaj.Fugea mai repede decat gandea.
Il ascunse pe Ed intr-un dulap pe hol.
"Asculta-ma foarte bine,Ed.Voi incerca sa ii contactez pe Ian si Clara.Tu trebuie doar sa fii cuminte si sa faci liniste"
"Ai grij..."
Edwin se opr din vorbit.Mama lui plecase si-l lasase singur.Nici macar nu l-a ascultat pana la capat.
Timpul s-a oprit.Ceasul nu mai mergea,pamantul nu se mai rotea,viata nu se mai scurgea...Trecuse defapt o jumatate de ora.Copilul se trezi la realitate dupa ce auzea tipetele de durere ale fratelui sau mai mare.Edwin se alarma mai tare cand un glont ii amutise strigatele de indurare ale lui Kyle.
"Nu mai pot sa stau aici!Trebuie sa plec!"gandi el,dar imediat cu vru sa deschida usa dulapului incepu in telefon sa sune.Renuta la ideea sa.Auzi dupa aceea niste pasi repezi,niste cuvinte neintele si apoi un foc de arma."Inca unul!"planse baiatul.Statu cateva secunde,se uita pe hol si vazu cadavrul mamei sale.Speriat,nu stia cum sa reactioneze:
A)NU! B)[Plangi]
C)Ajutor!Cineva! D)[Pastreaza linistea]
