And again the loud clash of a plate which is thrown with a lot of power against a wall. It's always the same when HE is there. The five year old girl resists the urge to leave her save room to comfort her mother who's might crying again. Mummy's not allowed to cry. Tears are making him even more angry. One punch per tear is what he's saying. With her teddy bear holding tight she's hearing how they are shouting to each other in a different language which she doesn't understand. Though she knows it's because of her. It's her fault. She's the one who's hurting Mummy.
A loud yell might scares the girl to death. Suddenly there is silence in the house. The only thing she's hearing is a sound of something falling with a thud on the ground... and the steps of the Man who's coming upstairs to the child's room. The girl wants to hide under her bed, but then he would be really angry. He would find her. He always finds her.
The door is pushed open and there he is with strange red spots on his Shirt. "Come with me!" is the only instruction he's giving. And he knows that she will follow them without a reply. Well-behaved she follows him downstairs. With her short legs she has to run to keep step with his long strides. Suddenly she stops without warning.
"Mummy..." why is she looking that strange? Why is she kneeling on the floor with a knife in her tummy?
At the sight of her daughter the woman begins to scream and with her last energy she tries to pounce on him. But he's bringing her on the floor again with a simple movement of his hand. As if he tries to scare away a annoying fly.
"Come." But the girl doesn't move. She's staring on her mother who is lying on the cold tiles with her hands tight pressed on her stomach and she's breathing hardly.
"You're coming with me. Now!" With a tight grip he took the wrist of the child who's near to cry now.
"If you begin to cry" he said angry while he drags the girl with him "then you're as weak as your mother. And you know what happens to weak people? This!" for the last time he points of the mother who lies there now suspiciously quiet. Is she sleeping?
They leaving the house and without a warning he snaps her teddy off her hand during they get into the car.
"You don't need him anymore." then he throws the stuffed animal out of the window while he starts the car with growing impatience. He mumbles something about "this accident" and "Stupid weak goat" then he race down the long road.
"Where are we driving?" Right away the girl regrets to ask, but she's surprised that he begins to smile.
"To a good friend Giulia." She doesn't dare to ask more so she's just saying "Ok, Daddy."
