The Elevator

Someone tried to rob us!

Orpheus: What happened here?

He opened the lamp, Nadia popped out of our hiding place.

Nadia: Someone tried to rob us!

I'm making my presence obvious, too.

Erica: They were here a while ago, didn't you see them?

He shook his head negatively, confused by my sudden appearance.

Nadia: I brought her to help me, I was so scared.

She rushed to explain crying heartbreakingly. Mr. Jason and Mrs. Euridice soon showed up.

Euridice: What happened here? What's she doing in our house?

Nadia: Mommy, they tried to rob us!

She ran straight into her arms, she mechanically reciprocates her touch, without emotion, still confused about what had happened.

Nadia: When we were sleeping, people broke into our house. I heard them and came to the living room where I saw this chaos. Then I went to Erica for help since no one else responded.

Everyone is incredibly anxious and confused, I have enough intelligence to understand that I was an outsider at the time.

Nadia: Let's call the police, wake up Grandma!

Jason: No, your grandmother is an old woman, let's not worry her. We'll call the police, you have to go to bed now. You need to calm down, everything's fine.

I see them one by one leaving. Mr. Jason picked up the phone to call the police, I closed the door behind me and went to bed trying to eliminate from my mind the fact that the burglars weren't caught. They may still be lurking in the apartment building.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nadia: Erica, wake up, it is a school day.

She's calmly poked me on my left shoulder, the same one that got her nails in yesterday. I got up and try to wake up completely. Nadia didn't seem to be any more awake than I was, I'd describe her more as dizzy. We're walking, and I feel like I'm kind of hungry.

In the last few days I've completely skipped breakfast.

Nadia: I couldn't sleep at all last night, what if they came back?

Erica: Try to calm down, the extra stress you're causing yourself right now won't help you.

Nadia: I know... But it's not easy. I can still hear them, see the shadows approaching us.

The hairs on my hands were fixed in their memory.

Nadia: Thank God you were there, too. You were the only one who helped me, Erica, thank you.

She hugs me tightly and I can feel her gratitude choking me.
