THE NEW WORLD

CHAPTER 2

Finally after three hours of exhausting waiting we see the surgeon coming towards us. My father stands up immediately "How's my wife? Is the baby sane? I want to see them!"

"Mr. calm down" replies the surgeon annoyed "you are going to give me a nervous breakdown, your wife is ok, your son is born but for now they cannot be visited"

"Son? So he is a male?" I interrupt.

"Yes, does that make you sad in anyway?" says the surgeon looking at me with a snotty face. I don't replie and as I'm standing still I can see a grin appearing on his face.

The voice of my father breaks the silence "I don't care, I want to see them right now"

"Ok George, if you insist so much you will be able to see them, but only from the window, it is better if they don't come in contact with other people for a while"

Wait, George? Do they know each other?

Fantastic Marco, in which room are they?

"345"

My father pulls me to the stairs to get to my mother and my brother. After some minutes and 50 steps we get in front of the door, we notice a window that allows us to see inside the room so we get there immediately.

My mother is laying on the bed, she looks like she is sleeping, her breathing is so mild that if it wasn't for the "bip" that come from the pulse ox she would seem dead. To her right there is a plastic cradle with my little brother inside. Attached to the cradle there is a little sheet of paper with "I am ...." it must be the one for the name.

"Luca" says my father mildly, almost if he has read my mind "his name will be Luca" he continues.

"Excellent choice dad, but are you sure that mum will like it?"

"Yes sure, we talked about the name, we decided that if it would had been a female her name would have been Veronica and if it would have been a male Luca"

"Ok, perfect"

Luca crying gets our attention, my mother is awakned by the crying too and so she stands up slowly and goes to the crib to take Luca out. She seems to not have noticed us, my father knoks lightly on the glass smiling, getting the attention of my mother that looks at us smiling tiredly, she doesn't look ok. Meanwhile Luca has stop crying, cradled in mom's arms, I would love to get back to those times when I was so small that people could cradle me and feel protected, when the problems didn't exist and everything was ok in a snap of the fingers.

"Elisa, I go to the toilet" says suddenly my dad

"Ok" I replie.

While he goes away my mother comes closer to the window with Luca in her arms, she looks very tired but she tries to smile anyways. She shows me Luca, he has a lot of black hair, olive skin and a little nose. While I'm admiring my brother Ihear some heavy footsteps coming from the hallway, I became anxious, I can't understand what's happening, they almost sound like paws, it can't be.

I look at the hall as I stand still and when I see who is coming I understand immediately, they are here for my brother. A pack of werewolves is followed by a group of vampires, they are getting to the door of the room 345; in the eyes of the alpha of the pack I recognize the green ones of the surgeon, I knew it.

They are getting quickly to the room, I try to stop them but they pullk me to the wall, I can't get back up, my head hurts and I can't feel my legs. I can just see what's happening, I see them breaking into the room, the pack enetrs the room and after a bit I see the surgeon coming out with Luca in his arms. I hear my mother shouting and a big noise after. Right after the surgeon passes by me and I  feel something pulling me, I try to escape but I can't do anything, they are taking me too. I abandone myself to my destiny as  I hear my mother shouting and the voice of my father calling my name.
