章節 29: NIGHTMARE

XADEN'S POV

"Xaden, Xaden, wake up." A familiar female voice stirred him awake. "Wake up, my love."

He stirred in his bed to face where the voice was coming from, and then his eyes fluttered open, and he saw his mother looking up at him, seemingly sad. 

"Mummy, "Mummy, what's wrong?" He asked. 

"We have to go," she told him.

His sister Anna was on her hip, her hand still on her thumb. 

"I want you to be a good boy. Be the brave young boy you are." She said, tears filling her eyes. "Mummy loves you. Take care of Anna. I love both of you."

"What's happening?" He asked her, confused.

His mom always told him that she loved him. 

Even his dad. Dad. Why was she saying it? It sounded like something was wrong.

There was shouting and shouting and loud noises outside.

Why was there such a lot of noise? Wasn't it just bedtime? 

He looked out the window and saw that it was still dark.
