ALISANDRO GONZALEZ

ALISANDRO GONZALEZ [5]

It has been a month now since Theo left us behind to join Isabella his mother. Elissa was still hurt and upset with her father Raheem, but she knew that they hide the truth for a reason. I was hurt too. I should have brought him home by force but his mind was made up.

Meanwhile Daksha and Elissa were teaching me how to speak and read which was very fun. I even got my haircut. Elissa and Daksha were having so much fun laughing about how big my head looks. Even Jet was laughing at me. I had to put on some of Theo clothes because we were about to go in town for grocery shopping.

While they were getting ready. Jet and I decided to go for a walk to see all our friends. As soon as I walked outside. Raheem came walking behind us. I then told him that I will find Theo. But by the look that he gave me. I knew that it was more serious than that. He looks back at me and said let's take a walk because there is something that he wanted tell me or ask. So I helped him get down from the tree house and begin to walk deeper into the jungle.

As we were walking, he finally stops. I didn't know what he wanted to talk about but for some reason I was getting very nervous. As we both look across the lake that was in front us.

Raheem begin to say to saying, "When my older son Adriano was a little boy. He always was talking about how he had a friend out here. Everyday he will leave early in the morning with food in his bag and stay out for hours. Now that I think about, my son was telling the true. Alisandro was it you? The friend that my son had before he died?"

After he asked me that, I wanted to run away without saying nothing but I knew that he has already put all the pieces together. But again I didn't know what feelings that Raheem is feeling at the moment and didn't really know why he was asking me about this now.

Suddenly I sat down on the ground and said, "Adriano was a good friend and my only friend I had before I knew I could talk to animals. You are right about him bringing me food. I was very pleased. When I did founded out that I could talk to animals. I showed him that I could. He was very happy. After that I thought he was mad at me because he never came back to visit me for like a week until I found him unconscious. I wanted to come tell you but Adriano left me a note in dirt telling me to not exposed myself because the fight will come to me and the truth would come out soon.
Than I seen these flowers I never seen before. They were holding some kind of liquid and I needed to give Adriano something to drink. So I took it and gave it to him. I don't know what that was but it kept him alive.
When I left to go get more of it and came back. Someone came and took him. The thing that hurts me the most is I don't who did it."

After I said all of that, Raheem stay quiet for awhile. But yet he was not made because heart was beating the same and he was very calm until he pulled out a gun at me. To be honest. I was very shocked and afraid. I wasn't afraid of dying. I was more afraid about Raheem becoming someone he is not.
I stood back to feet as the animals that saw what was going on started to surround us. They will do anything to protect me.

As tears begins to fall from his face. He looks me dead in the eyes saying "I don't blame you for Adriano death! But it is your fault that Theo is no longer on our side! Adriano trusted you! He protected your secret and at any cost he will have protected your life! But you betrayed him by letting his youngest brother be taken over by his own rage! Alisandro! Am not going to shoot you but you are not welcome to come around my family or me again until my son Theo is back home! I know that you are a good person. I just want you to keep your promise you made to Adriano."

As I stood there out of words. I couldn't blame him because I feel the same way. So I had no other choice but to go my own way. Raheem puts the gun away and starts to walk away. He didn't even look back to see if I was okay or nothing. I didn't know what hurts the most. Me letting Theo go, or losing the family I thought I was going to be part of.

I wanted to just run away and forget all about them. But I couldn't stop thinking about how Elissa took up for me against her brother. So I am not going to give up on them.
I quickly ran back to my old home where Jet and I used to sleep. I grabbed my boomer ring and staff. And then I stood outside the cave and close my eyes. If I was going to go look for Theo. I knew that I was going to need more help. So I call for Sky and my little friend Robber. Robber is a flying squirrels. We always have to keep an eye on him because he is always taking things from us. When the suns goes down. Jet, Sky, Robber and myself we start the hunt for Theo.

After Raheem was done talking to Alisandro. He we back home. As soon as he steps foot into the house. Elissa and Daksha were waiting for Alisandro so they can go shopping. They were happy because it was Alisandro first time going into town.
After waiting five more minutes. Elissa looks at her father and ask him where I was. He looks back at her and told said that I will not becoming back.

Out of nowhere she begins to yell at him. "What did you do to him! Dad whatever you are thinking! Alisandro doesn't have nothing to do with it. You got to understand Theo made the decision himself to work with mom!"

"Elissa you don't know nothing about Alisandro!" Raheem said as he struggle to get back to his feet.

Elissa just looks at him. She didn't know what to say. She quickly grab her bag and went running out the door.
