The Afton family reunion | The Middle World

Chapter 3

The way to our houses was silent, everyone was processing the information that we had receive minutes before. I still don't understand a lot of things, but what I wonder the most is: who is this Maya? And How is she so powerful?

Before we knew where we were, we realized that we had arrive at our destination. I saw the number of my house very clearly thanks to the light path. All my friends were standing in front of there house. We were all looking at the door in front of us. I didn't know if it was ok to enter because I wasn't sure if they were going to remember me. I looked at my right to see my friends entering their house. I looked at my left to see that the one house that was there had lights on "I wonder who lives there...house 1A."

I turn back to my house door and a started to hesitate: what if they don't love me anymore? What if they are happier without me? What if their mad at me for not listening to them? What if-

At this point, I had my hands covering my ears, but then I hear: "They are waiting for you." That voice I recognize it very well, "Maya?" I looked up, and I see Maya there looking at me with a little smile. "Gabriel listen to me," she says slowly. I look at her in the eyes and I start feeling calmer. "They accepted to come here for you and only for you," she emphasize at the only. "Really?" I ask with a broken voice. "Really, really," she says taking my chine and shading my tears I didn't even know that I was producing. She let's go of me and then she says "Don't keep them waiting" then she disappears in a pile of grey dust.

The good thing is that I finally know how she disappears and that I can really trust her. Now I need to enter that door, I feel more confident then before so I think I can do it. "Come on Gabriel, you have waited for so long for this specific moment, so don't give up now," I say to myself as I prepare to knock on the door.

My hand finally touches the door and a give it four knocks. I hear some people pacing and then the door opens to reveal a very old women that look so much like my mother, but older. "Gabriel?" she asks in a whisper as tears start to form in her eyes. "Mommy?" I ask in return. "Oh my god my little boy is back!" she says while putting me into a breath-taking hug. "Gabriel" I hear behind my mom. Mom takes me in her harms and she stats walking into the house. I look in the house to see who had called my name and I see an older version of my dad. "Dad?" He looks at me and he starts crying. He comes and hugs my mother and me. We all continue crying in each other's arms and I finally felt happy and at ease. We could have stayed there for all eternity for all I'd care, but of course it needed to come to an end. Then in the corner of my eye I see another adult, now I am confuse. Utile my mother explains to me who it is "Dear that is your little brother, well he is but isn't looking at you appearance." I look at him closely and I do remember him, he was just a baby when I last saw him. "Wow, was I gone that long," I thought. "Hi tommy" I say remembering the nickname that I decided to call him when I was alive. "You remember me?" he asks shocked. "Of course you were the one I most wanted to see again," I say calmly.

"I am actually surprised that the little girl didn't lie to us about you coming," said my dad holding my mothers hand and closing the door. "Oh, you mean Maya," I ask with a little smile remembering the one that is giving me this chance. "You know her name?" asked my brother. "Of course, she told me," I say a little confuse about what he meant by that question. "Well she didn't tell us," says my mother going to the kitchen. I fallow her there and I realized that the place looked familiar. "Did you ask her?" I ask while looking around the place. It's really familiar, but I can't put my finger on when did I saw this this place. "Oh, no we didn't," answers my brother siting on one of the chairs of the kitchen table. "We forgot to ask her before she gave us a letter," says my father siting beside my brother.

"You also receive a letter?" I ask. "Yes, but then when we got here and the letter multiplied it self for us three" said my father. "It did the same to me, when my friends and I crossed the breach," I say remembering that magical thing. "It seems that everything is well plan for us to stay here, and she even copied the same design of our old house," says my mother starting to cook diner. So, that's why it was so familiar, but how was she able to do this?

"So dear how was heaven?" my mother asks. "Oh, I didn't go there," I answer already knowing that I will have to explain to them what happened after my death. "What do you mean?"

This is going to be a long night...
