"That dinosaur...It's the same one from.."Elliot thought as he paused. "Ellie,Levántate!" Alice (past Alec) demanded. Elliot was confused and it took him a minute to realized he said wake up. "Lo siento.." past Elliot sleepily answered. Elliot picked up his new dinosaur and started playing with Alice(past Alec). They are both around 5 years old. Elliot only knows French and is learning spainish to communicate with Alice Because Alice only knows spainish, same with her family. Elliot has a bunch of dinosaurs but this one is new and unknown to Elliot, Alice constantly kept stealing dinosaurs everytime she came over Elliot so Elliot's parents kept buying him dinosaurs, this new one had pants for some reason. They played together all the time with Elliot's dinosaurs. They were very good friends even though it was forced by their mothers they still were best friends. If it wasn't Alec, Elliot hanged out with it was his mom. Elliot and Alec's mom were always hanging out. To Elliot it felt like having a real mom who cared about him. For Alice(Alec) it was betrayal and Elliot stealing his mom from him. When she died it destroyed everyone, especially Elliot. Like Alec when she died he was really young. Elliot was so sad when she died, he didn't want to do anything. He cried almost every single day afterwards. Like Elliot losing his own mom was deavasting and it caused him to not want to hang out with Elliot anymore that's a big reason he stopped but there's always more reasons to why and to why she hated Elliot. Fortuntally, her death hasn't happen yet in this flashback but it happend very quickly after this flashback. They were having so much fun until Alice (past Alec) bumped into a vase, not just any vase though, Elliot knows that vase like the back of his head. "C'est le vase préféré de papa!" He thought as he tried to catch it but was to late. The vase had a beautiful French style art on it looked like it was at least 1,000 dollars. The vase was the dad's favorite, he got it to remember France, he inherited it when his parents died. Elliot's parents lived in France their whole life until they decided to leave that life behind just start a new one in America, where they gain a name for themselves and got rich. His dad grew up in poverty, his best decision was to move to America but with that good decision comes great sacrifice. He had to leave his own home behind and learn the American culture and forget his own to get to the top. His parents died when he was 21, he was not even a year in America when that happened and his parents were only 57 years old when they died. He just moved into America when Elliot was 5 so their grandparents just died. The only reminder of his home was that vase and fancy plates that he inherited.That vase is worth the most to him, its his precious baby. It crashed against the ground, shattered into pieces. His dad was right there, busy reading a book but he heard that and quickly turned around. "ELLIOT ARTHUR RICHARDSON!" he yelled angrily. "TU SAIS QUE C'EST MON VASE PRÉFÉRÉ, COMMENT OSES TU LE CASSER, espèce de sale gosse INGRANDI!" He yelled. He slapped him. Elliot loved animals so much and he cared for them so much. He always loved animals with all his heart they were like his best friend, and before Alice and even after Alice they were his best friend. Elliot didn't make much friends but he didn't care about that as a little kid, all he needed was animals. Elliot's dad was always annoyed with how much he loved animals, he wanted his kid to be tough and he thought that his appreciation to animals was embarrassing and weak. He hated how much Elliot loved animals, as if it was making him sick. Elliot felt like he understood animals and felt upset that his father couldn't see what he saw. He hated the fact that his father hunted animals, it crushed him when he found out he was killing such innocent creatures in his eyes. Elliot's dad knew what kind of punishment he should give him. He got up and grabbed a hunting gun and dragged Elliot outside. He grab Elliot's dog and placed the dog in front of Elliot and gave Elliot the gun, pointing it to the dog. "Appuyez sur la gâchette, Elliot, Tuer le chien de la famille" he demanded. Elliot started sobbing, shaking his head repeatedly. Elliot's dad got even more mad, he groaned. "tire dessus" he yelled, demanding, Elliot started shaking, still refusing to. His dad got annoyed and left. Elliot put down the gun and hugged his dog. He started crying even more. His dad came back with a stray cat. "Qu'est-ce que tu fous?!" He asked angrily. He lined up the stray up with the gun. He grabbed Elliot's hand and placed it on the trigger and he squeezed Elliot's hand and that made Elliot pull the trigger, killing the cat. Elliot screamed a blood curdling scream. He couldn't stop screaming and crying. "Oh tais-toi" Elliot's dad demanded. Elliot cuddled against his dog for comfort, crying. Alice (Alec) went outside, saw Elliot and ran towards Elliot. "Ellie!" She screamed. Elliot gave Alice a hug and grabbed tightly. Alice just stood there awkwardly while her muscles tensed up. Alice didnt mind it, she could clearly tell Elliot was not doing ok at all and he needed this but it felt very awkward. Elliot cried on Alice. Alice had no clue what happened yet she knows something really bad happened,.she heard Elliot's screams and she started running to the sound. She was really confused she had no idea what could of happened, how could she? And Because of the language barrier she couldn't ask what happened or anything not like he would answer her like this. She allowed Elliot to hug him mainly because he only disliked them after what happened with her aunt so she is only just started disliking them but she knows he needs it.
