Aurora covered her mouth with her hands as she stared at the room at Elias with terror in her eyes.
How can he be this callous? How can he keep breaking her like this? Why is her fate so cruel?
"Aurora." Elias called her name in panic. Did she hear anything he just said? And if she did, where dis she start hearing from?
"Go to her." Eli had whispered to his son.
With a small cry, Aurora took a step back, then another, then she turned and ran down the stairs.
"Aurora." Elias called after her, but she only increased her pace.
"Aurora, please stop. You are going to hurt yourself." He called after her, but she kept running down the stairs, then to the living room. The dog barked loudly when he saw her running, then went after her also.
"Please, Aurora." Elias called out desperately.
