The new life of the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve
(Lucy)
The kitchen is filled with the amazing smell of eggs, but I'm burning the blooming hell out of my arm with the grease.
"Good morning" My husband Daniel wraps his arms around my waist and start kissing my neck.
"You make it really hard to make breakfast"
"Mum! Maria took my doll"
"Oh dear" I force myself out of Daniel's arms
"Maria, give Judith back her doll!"
"She tore my bear!"
"It was an accident!"
"Alright you two knock it off!"
Maria sighed and handed Judith her doll.
"Twins" Daniel laughs then kisses my cheek.
"Especially when they're six...and where are you going?"
"Work"
"Okay, have a good day"
"Why don't you two go play on the swings"
"Fine but I'm not talking to her!" Maria screams at Judith
"I don't plan on talking to you either"
I slam my head on the table.
(Edmund)
I hear a scream and run upstairs.
"Luna, wake up"
My daughter shoots awake.
"Dad..."
"It's okay"
"I had a nightmare"
"About what?"
"Well there was a woman in an ice coffin, and black dress with icicles in her head like a crown, then there was blood...and the woman broke free, it was terrifying" She cries and jumps into my arms
"It's okay sweetheart"
"Dad, can you do what mum used to do whenever I had nightmares"
"Of course" I lay her on my lap and begin to string my fingers through her hair it's okay...don't worry"
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that woman is real"
I was starting to freak out, it couldn't be that woman!
"No...it was just a dream, now go to sleep"
"Stay with me, please?"
"Of course"
I lay in bed with her with that thought running through my head, I mean that can't be real...right?
(Susan)
I receive a call from a terrified Edmund.
"How is that possible Ed?"
"I don't know Susan but I'm kind of freaking out that my twelve year old daughter might be dreaming about someone who tortured me!"
"Edmund calm down! I doubt it means anything, it's just probably a coincidence..."
I looked at the clock 2:15.
"Oh Ed I got to go, maybe we should meet up for lunch, we'll invite Lucy and Peter too"
"Good idea...well good talking to you again Susan"
"Mum?!"
"In here Caspian!" My fourteen year old son comes running in
"How was school?" I ask hugging him.
"It was okay I guess..."
"Where's your sister?"
"Mummy!" My seven year old runs in.
"There you are" I pick her up in my arms.
"Dad took us hunting!"
"What?"
"You weren't supposed to tell her that remember Sunny?" My ex husband comes into the kitchen.
"I suppose we can tell her about the part where we encountered the bear"
"What?! Uhhh why don't you two go upstairs and do your homework"
"Okay!" They both go upstairs and when I hear their doors close, I glare.
"Hunting...really Harry!"
"They asked for something fun!"
"Fun, not dangerous you tosser!"
"Did you really just call me a-"
"Yes I did, because you know what?"
"What?!"
"I am sick and tired of my children walking into the house telling me about the crazy and dangerous things that their father has done!"
"You're tired of our children stepping into the house, alright" He hands me a folded up piece of paper
"What's this rubbish?"
"Just a paper"
I unfold the paper.
"Okay more like...custody papers.
"What?!"
"I'm taking you to court Susan, they'll decide who's best for Caspian and Sunny"
"Harry...how could you?!"
"Think about it..." He walks out the door and I sit on the couch and start to cry, I could lose my children!
(Peter)
"Peter!"
"Yes Natalie?"
"What the bloody hell are you doing?!"
"Making lunch"
"More like attempting" My 17 year old son comes down stairs
"Really Toby?"
"Just speaking the truth father"
"Speaking the truth?" My phone rings and I answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey when are you free?" It's Susan and she's uncontrollably
"Susan, are you okay?"
"No I just need my brothers and sister right now..."
"Okay, I'll find a free day, okay?"
"Okay" She's still on the phone crying
"Listen Susan I have to go"
"Okay"
"Maybe sometime this afternoon"
"Okay"
"Bye"
"Bye" I hang up
"Who was that?" Natalie asks me
"Susan"
"Oh next time you see her, ask her something for me"
"What?"
"HOW BAD IS DIVORCE?!" She storms out of the room and slams the door.
"Are you and mum leaving each other?"
"I'll make sure it doesn't happen, okay?"
"Well I'm going upstairs"
Later that afternoon the four met up at a diner, little did they know something would happen to them, something incredible...but bad
