A somber silence fell in the room from nowhere as Barry's words hit a chord in each of us. The heavy air was a sign of unspoken agreement.
The meeting ended with a gloomy atmosphere and a thick suspense when it was supposed to turn out a little different than that.
After that day, everyone counted each seconds, minutes and hours, waiting for the day I was gonna go into the forest with the Alpha boys.
We all felt so edgy about the unforeseen events and I could see how Barry tries to hide his strange uneasiness with his familiar playfulness.
It was a silent night now, most people were not asleep but they had gone for their night rest, including me.
I sensed a presence around my bedroom and sat up, quickly looking around for any signs of someone.
My mouth opened to scream when Barry climbed in through the window. I can never get used to him coming in that way.
