In the sweetest dreams are our deep memories that for some reason we forget, in a state of emotional paralysis, we are forced to think of the immensity that our thoughts take us in just a fraction of seconds. Hunting and exploring the saturn planet orbiting the earth at the same time, without moving. Building fortresses of small jewels and walls made of bricks and wishes.
Andrew
I strengthen the windows and latches to prevent any of our monstrous friends from appearing. I check Lilian's room and I notice that she is fine, put something in the closet to warm her up during the night.
I fumble for a soft blanket, but what I find is more frightening than that. In an old box with a rusty lock
I look around the house for something that looks like a key, to try to open it. With great difficulty I find an equally rusty nail.
I force the lock to open, until I can, in that little box was a letter and a little bear.
- How cute, what are you doing here? - I ask
The stuffed animal responds next.
- Security protocol 101013. Access point denied.
Natasha's eyes widen when she sees the speech of the toy.
- Like this? ask - I need to show the boys
Down the stairs, Natasha is surprised to see that Andrew and Liam have made dinner and set the table.
- What a surprise! - I say
- We prepared for you in the form of thanks, for saving our lives. - said Liam
- Real boys, they didn't need that. - said Natasha
- Of course I needed it, it is not every day that we are saved by a heroine. said Andrew
Natasha smiled and shook her head. He went to meet Liam and Andrew wagging his ponytail as he walked.
- See this. - said Natasha
- Protocol 20007. Pyramid project, code number 03. said the teddy
- What a weird thing for a teddy to say. - said Liam
- What if that's the reason we're here? asked Natasha
- What you mean? asked Andrew
- An experiment. - I answer
Everyone looked at each other, a chill in the spine took hold of everyone, And if they were really in a conspiratorial technological experiment.
What would be the chances of escaping alive in time. What other challenges would come as the days went by ...
72 hours later ...
Lilian awakens
A stunning gas explosion
Andrew injured
Hope for a thread ...
...
Was it a beautiful morning, total days since we arrived? Infinite, every hour we lose a little of our strength.
We were sitting surrounded by bread and grape jam, made by Liam, it fell between us I was a disaster in the kitchen.
I admire the color of the jelly in the glass jar, asking a lot of questions in my mind. But not having the courage to ask your great benefactor.
It was after eight in the morning, when we see the silhouette of Lilian coming down the stairs, rubbing her eyes with disheveled hair and with a distant look.
- Hi guys, how are you? asked Lilian waving and yawning at the same time
Natasha runs to meet her, lifting the girl up in the air and hugging her tightly.
- Thanks to the heavens, you are well. said Natasha
- Natalie! I miss you, it seems like I've seen you for a century. said Lilian
- What happened my sister? I ask
- I don't know, one hour I was at Andrew's house and then I blacked out, now I'm talking to you. replied Lilian
- Come and have coffee. Enjoy that it is very warm. said Andrew
- Maybe later, I'm not hungry. I think I'm going outside to get some air and stay on the porch. said Lilian
- No1 - shouted the three
- What happened to you? - asked Lilian
- Lily, sit down - if we have to tell a story. said Natasha
We tell all the terrifying story of our journey, in trying to get out of all challenges unscathed and alive.
- Wow, you went through all this, and you're still here. It was a lot of luck and determination on your part. said Lilian
- Always for you Lily, remember? - I ask
- Forever and forever. replied Lilian with a tear in her eyes
Natasha wipes it off her face, and smiles at the girl. Stroking your face.
The infinity of days have passed, with the leaves of the trees in our yard, spreading across the ground covering it completely.
Approaching seven at night, we found everyone talking on the steps of the stairs, while eating some bars of chocolate and cereal,
Approaching my head on Lilian's lap, she combed my hair, making me rest for a few minutes.
Andrew and Liam had an arm wrestling match on the bottom step. Lilian was talking to me in her sweet, soft voice.
- Natalie, thanks for ... - said Lilian
- Don't even think about completing that sentence. Know that I give and give my life for you - said Natasha
Lilian stares at the front door and remembers a memory from her past.
She was riding a bicycle, Natasha was on her skates. When the bike lost control, and went towards a steep slope, dropping the skates on the ground, the girl goes towards her sister quickly. Playing against the bike and saving Lilian's life.
The toy skids on the track and heads towards the avenue full of cars and almost causes a serious accident.
Lilian comes back to her perception and looks at Natasha who was almost falling asleep. She puts on the headphones and starts listening to one of Andrew's songs and ends up sleeping slowly.
The boys, realizing the situation, take them to their rooms.
"They're so cute in their sleep," said Liam.
"Sweet angels," said Andrew
What they could not know is that even angels can rebel and have dangerous plans if they are influenced. Having a dignified but dangerous temporary freedom.
