Chr. 4 I pull away. There are tears in my eyes. He's not dead. He's not dead!But he left me. What if he is part of this. What if he's a trader like Ash. I put on a hard face and back away. "What do you want?" I ask trying to keep my voice from cracking . His face dropped. "I came to see you. To save you. Aren't you happy? We can be a family again.""We were never a family! I thought you were dead! But your not, your something worse. A TRADER!" now tears are streaming down my face. My hand curled into fist. My body starts to shake. My body screams to relax but I ignore it.I throw myself at him. A look of shock comes on but disappears as quickly as it came. I go straight to his face but he counters it with a hit in my ribs. Pain explodes from my side. My vision is filled with a red lush of anger.I'm grabbed from behind. Soft but firm hands hold me tight. I taste the saltiness of tears." Leave him Alex, he's not worth your strength." a soothing voice says. I let my body go slack. I take a few deep breaths and let the adrenalin flow out."Listen, Alex your mother and I still love you. We just thought you would be safer ...""SAFER! I had to leave so many people. I had to watch my ONLY family die. Just so I would be safe. Now because of you I'm getting punish for something I was forced into. So help me save my friends or leave so I can die.""fine" he said but his face showed his disappointment.I turn around to see faces laced with fear." you can't die." Sabrina said in my ear as she gave me a hug.I stared at her sadly.
