I heard a voice, a loud voice, directed straight at us, not caring about anything in its path.
"Sophia! Adrian! Watc-"
My father's worried voice echoed in my ears. Then an intense light followed the sound and covered everything. My mother crouched over me, protecting my tiny body, while a shockwave spread around.
I felt nothing except a slight warmth and the floor rattling. My mother's body was on top of me, protecting me.
After a short while, the light slowly receded and my vision returned.
"M- Mom?"
When I saw that my mother was still breathing above me, a wave of joy rose inside me.
"Mom!"
"Ad... -rian..."
Although I was worried when I heard my mother's weak voice, I was convinced that she was all right. I quickly tried to get to grips with it, and I did. However, what I expected to happen next... did not happen.
