The Return

I turned to see the window shatter as a masked figure lept through it. He was shouting ¨Wher are they¨ over and over again. Although I couldn´t see his face I reconized the voice. It was Liam. ¨ Liam¨ I called out to him, to happy to care what James said about him being half crazy. He look at me, and slowly pulled a hunting knife out his leather belt. Off in the distance I heard Circe chanting. Liam froze. I fianlly got a good look at him, his clothes were muddy and his hair was a mess. It look as if he had been living in the wild. ¨Come on¨ James yelled ¨We need to get out of here¨ James, the girls, and I raced towards the tower. He alive, but if he is alive this way, it would be easer if he was dead.

There was a feeling of hopelessness in my chest for I knew there was nothing we could do to save him. ¨What will Circe do to him¨ I asked softly not wanting the girls to hear. ¨She will turn him into animal so that he is no longer a danger to anyone¨ he said sadly. He will lose his brother, the girls will lose their father, and I will lose my husband. ¨There must be something we can do¨ I said in my growing desperation trying hard not to cry. ¨ I´m afraid there is nothingt we can do¨ James said. We walked through the halls quietly while the girls whispered. ¨What´s gonna happen to daddy¨ Angelica said looking up at me with her big green eyes. ¨He is gonna go to a far away place where he can get better¨ I told her. ¨Will I get to see him again¨ she asked me looking hopeful. ¨I´m afraid not sweetheart¨ I told her holing back tears. ¨Come on let´s go¨ I took her and Ina hands and walked with them down the hallway. James and I shared a look of pure saddness and then hurried down the hall with the girls.
