Chapter 17

Timothy took a moment before answering, during which he moved towards Mel's bed.

-Well I went to see him, your brother, he finally said.

-Timothy... Gabriel is not my brother, I told you that, said Mel a bit annoyed.

-Oh, yeah, true. I'm sorry Melinda..., Timothy said sadly.

-It's ok, don't worry, Mel replied.

She couldn't even get angry at him, he was too sweet.

-So... what happened?, she asked him after having wait for Timothy to start telling a story that wasn't coming.

-I told him what happened with my dad, ha said the usual 'I told you' but that i had made the right choice to come to him, started to explain the little boy. Then Gabriel told me to follow him, but he wouldn't tell me where he was going so I refused to follow him... But then...

Timothy stopped, Mel made a small head sign and a reassuring smile to encourage him to go on. Jim was starting to feel like this will be a long talk -even if he had only half of it- and as he didn't wanted to bother Mel, he got up from the bed and sat down in the chair, but he had kept Mel's hand in his. Mel smiled quickly at him before focusing again on Timothy, who had just took Jim's place on the bed. He was sat on the bed, cross-legged, facing Mel.

-Then?, Mel gently pushed him.

-Then Gabriel started to get mad at me, saying that if I wanted to stay with him and his friends, I will have to trust him. He was getting more and more furious and it was really scaring me, so I tried to runaway, but suddenly dark people starting to appear all around me. I was scared like I had never been...

Mel could clearly see that telling his story, just thinking back of what had happened was really hard for the little boy. She noticed that Timothy's little body was shaking, probably from the fear he was still feeling, he even had tears in his eyes.

-Hey, sweetie, calm down. You're safe here. I can promise you that if you stay near me, Gabriel will never be able to hurt you. Ok?

-Yeah, thanks. I will never get anywhere close to him ever again, anyway!, he said pretty angrily.

-I'm glad to hear you say this, said Mel truly happy. You want to tell me how you escape from him?, she asked trying to know how far Gabriel was able to go to have the little boy.

-Well his friends started to come closer to me, Gabriel was looking at me with a creepy and evil smile. It was very scary. When those people reached me I felt like trapped cause they were surrounding me and they were holding me. It was like I couldn't move anymore! I didn't know what to do to run from them, I started to think about the person I love the more and that I missed the most; Lily. I thought so hard about her than it kind of saved me, I guess. Suddenly I was home, in Seattle, right next to Lily, who was in her bed, sleeping peacefully.

Timothy now had a huge smile crossing his face while telling the end of this story, the simple thought of his sister made him obviously very happy. Mel thought that they must have been very close. It seemed that now the whole Gabriel part was just an old memory.

-I watch her a moment, happy to see her so peaceful, it helped me to calm down a lot. Then I went to see my mom who was reading on the living room couch.

Timothy went on, Mel felt like the little boy was now feeling very secure thanks to his family memory.

-For a moment I thought that I will leave things like they were, it wasn't that bad after all. But then...

The boy stood silent again.

-Then? What happened, Timothy?, slowly asked Mel.

-Lily woke up and she came in the living room to go see my mom, that's when my sister saw me...
