First: thanks to all who reviewed me!

Second: I'm evil... very, very evil... This chapter will be a TRUE nightmare for the "Allens". I'm disgusted with myself... well, bad reading... ehm... good reading...

Third: the chapter, from now, will be update more not often, because with the school I'm full of business, sorry.

"And then, little Allen sneezed"

5. Feverish dreams part1: Petite interlude of sorrow

"What did I say!?"

"Sorry..."

"Yes, yes, you're always sorry!! Why didn't you do what I said!?"

"...I'm sorry..." Little Allen murmured again, eyes on the ground.

"You're so stupid, sometimes!! Life is not a game!! Or maybe you're thinking it, because looking at your behaviour... You perfectly know that we can't afford much expenses, and you're ill! You know how much cost the medicines!?"

The child remained silent, still looking at his feet, not enough gutsy to look into his father's eyes.

"Look at me while I'm talking!! What were you doing outside!?"

"...a snowman..."

"Well, that was your last possibility!! The next time when it will snow, don't even think to go outside!!! You will be inside the house the whole time!!"

"But it isn't fair!!" The thought of never again play with the snow was awful...

"It's isn't fair!?" Mana screamed, a furious gaze pointed into little Allen's pale-blue eyes "If you didn't go outside, maybe nothing of this will happened! It's your fault, and you must take your responsibility!!!"

"I hate you!!" The child yelled for answer, but feeling bad while he was saying it. It was not true, but... it wasn't fair! He was just playing! Why the adults were always to boring!?

And then, Mana slapped him.

It was not the pain... but the burning feeling inside his heart: his father had never hit him, never when he was angry. And now... He blinked gently trying to stop the already falling tears. He couldn't believe that. He just couldn't...

"You're an arrogant child, you know?" Little Allen didn't like his quiet tone "When I found you... I thought you could be a good child... but I was wrong" He sighed, looking directly onto his eyes, and Allen saw angriness with a piece of sadness "No wonder why your parents throw away you"

Little Allen froze, like the older one outside.

"I..."

Ah, ah! I don't reveal anything until tomorrow afternoon! Die in your curiosity! (The real version is: I cannot write anything because I didn't have ANY idea, so you must wait tomorrow). Sorry. And I know is very... too much short, but see it like an explanation to the other parts!

There will be three part of chapter 5. The next will be "His nightmares one more time", and the last will be "Affection..."
