''Gabi wake up… wake up sweetheart. He is coming. Wake up my brave fighter.’’
Ah, that nightmare. It’s her voice again and again. It started 2 weeks ago. My mother’s voice is calling me but I do not know for what. I miss her a lot, my sisters as well. But we can’t get her back. Whatever, I should stop thinking of her.
BOOM. The hell was that?! ''Daniel, Violet is that you?'' I call out for my sisters. ''Girls answer me. Now!''
''Gabriel get down here. You have to see this.'' What? What do I have to see?
I light one of my candles and get downstairs. What the hell is that sound?! It’s a male voice. Oh, no. ''Violet did you brought one of your boys in the house again? I told you that you should not do that!'' Why is she not answering me? God, why am I more responsible than my bigger sister?! Okay this is enough. ''I’m coming in your room. Okay?'' She is not answering me again! Okay I’ll go in. I don’t care that she’ll be mad later. What. The. Hell. That… that’s not a boy! There is a shining figure in the middle of the room and my sisters are laying on the floor. They look like they are asleep. ''Sleep… sleep.'' The figure is talking. It’s talking to me.
I run for my sisters. They really are asleep. Jesus Christ. ''Who... what are you?’’ I ask the shining thing – whatever it is. ''What do you want?'' It just stays there. ''Sleep.'' Why is he telling me to sleep?! It starts moving towards me. I close my eyes and I hear nothing. When I open them I see that the thing is right in front of me. It is shining so bright that I see nothing. It’s better when my eyes are closed. I close them again.
I hear my mother’s voice. She is telling me that he is here, she is calling me brave. Then the figure whispers me something. It sounds so soft and gentle. And I hear what it truly whispers.
''Sleep my brave fighter.’’ And everything goes black.
