1 Chapter 1 'The past'

10 years ago

I came back from school.

"Mommy Daddy I'm home." I said in a high tone

No answer ...

"You can't do this to her Vincent!" I heard my mother call.

They were in the kitchen, I walked quietly to them and I stood in the corner where they couldn't see me.

"You can't do this to ME" she continued in despair.

"She's in danger ... you know what they are like, Myra." My father said without emotion.

"I know." My mother said sad.

'I have to leave I cannot stay, the longer I am with you, the more you are in danger. "

"I know." She said soft.

"You can always visit me, but not too often otherwise it will look suspicious and I will endanger you."

"What should I tell Aurora then? She is only Nine years old! ¨

"I don't know Myra." He said softly.

"Nine! what the hell am I supposed to say to her?"

"You don't have to say anything to her, Myra."

What are they talking about? I said to myself in my mind.

"What do you mean, Vincent?" My mother walked over to the kitchen table and put her hands on it.

"I write a letter." My father stood behind her.

¨All right? Because that makes everything so much clearer for her! "My mother said irritably.

"I will write a short letter with a reason why I left. A believable reason is that I have found another. You find the letter so called. "

"But she deserves the truth"

"I know, honey, she does deserve the truth, but she is now way too young to know."

"But it's for your and her own safety." He continued shortly afterwards.

"Yes." My mother said softly, she turned and faced my father.

¨And one day when the time is right I will come back, for you both,¨ He said calmly.

¨Do you promise that?¨

¨Of course, my love!¨ And my parents hugged each other.

I turned around and ran quietly to the living room and I sat down on the couch, like nothing happened and I didn't think about what they were saying anymore.

Yes ... Little did I know, I was nine years old with no idea what they were talking about ... ten years later and I still have no clue and I have forgotten the most they said.

Present

"Honey, did you get your things, it's time for school!" My mother called me.

"Yes mom." I grumbled and came down from the stairs.

"I love you so very much, so much!" She gave me a hug.

"Yes mom, I love you too." I grumbled, she didn't let me go.

Gosh how emotional she is sometimes!

"Mom.." I murmured.

"Yes, sorry." She finally let me go.

"No matter what happens, I will always love you!" She gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"I'm just going to school Mom, there's nothing dangerous about that, well maybe the biology teacher who waves with the scalpel when he is angry, but for the rest is it perfectly fine there." We both laughed.

"Well, hop in the car I'll take you to school." She opened the door of the passenger seat.

After ten minutes of driving and lots of chatter and laughter, I arrived at school. I am going to be a doctor's assistant.

I entered the class and I was immediately taken care of by my group of friends:

Maike (The bitch of the group, but when it is needed she is super nice)

Tom (He is the joke maker of the group)

Nikki (The beauty queen)

Vanessa (My best friend always knows how to make me laugh)

Maximus (We always call him Max, he likes to call himself Max too, he is always super nice)

And then you have me, Aurora, the girl the father ran away from for another woman.

The school day is over, today is always the longest day of the week. We are free at 5 pm and we are the last group of today. I walked outside with my friends. They are all on the bike and they have to turn right immediately to the bicycle shed. I have to go straight ahead to the car parking space. I said my goodbye to everyone and then I went to the parking lot where my mother is.

"Ah there she is," I muttered to myself

Huh she is talking to someone I frowned, it was a man dressed entirely in black. She turned to me and the man too.

I waved, she didn't wave back.

She looked sad at my direction and I was very confused.

The man next to her made a gesture towards a black van diagonally opposite them. Beside me..

Before I knew someone pulled my arm..

"MOM! HELP" She looked at me, but did nothing. She put her hands against her mouth and she almost started crying.

"MOM?" I called again. This time she started crying.

I kicked the person behind me and he let go of me. I turned to the person it was a pretty broad man, brown eyes and black hair.

I kicked it again in a place where the sun is not shining.

I was grabbed from behind again.

"HELP!" I shouted at my very loudest

"Enough!" The person behind me shouted in irritation, I got a cloth pushed against my mouth with an overwhelming smelling liquid and I drifted away not knowing what was going to happen.
