Chapter I

A Chapter by Nero Maelstrom

The sound of the broken glass had awaken the woman in bed. Her blonde hair was beautiful in the moonlight. She looks at the clock and sees that it was three in the morning. She get off the bed and walks to the source of the crashing sound. Something was moving in the kitchen from what she could notice. 
"Honey?" She said entering the kitchen. A tall shadow stops in her front and remained stone. The woman turns on the light, revealing her in pink pajamas and right before her eyes wasn't what she had expected to be. 
"Shhhhh!" He said making her signs with the gun.
Her look is frightened and the sound of the footsteps behind her makes her heartbeat pound faster. She turns around and sees her husband. 
"Anna, what's the matter?" 
He tries to enter in the kitchen, but Anna knows this was a bad idea. 
"Anna, just let me go through god damn it!" 
Anna is still standing in his front and begs him to get back to his room.
"Mommy?" 
This sound...bad time for such thing. Her son was standing near the one who wants to enter the kitchen. 
"Mommy, what is going on?" He asks and throws a look behind her feet. "And who is your friend?"
She throws a look at her husband and see his anger in his eyes. He throws her away and enter the kitchen. Seeing the burglar, Anna's husband, named Robin, jumps on him without observing the weapon. 
The burglar fires a shot. The sound filled her ears and the image of Rob's back full of blood and falling in the front of the attacker makes her cry. She goes and hides her son's face, while looking at the murderer. He aims again and fires another shot. The sound of pain of her only child gives Anna a good reason to scream as loud as she could. Dropping her child's body, Anna tried to attack him, but he was too fast for her. Another shot, another powerful sound and a pain on her chest, on the right side. She falls on the ground. Her air is getting heavier as much as she tries to breathe. Her last image was of the burglar turning around and running away from the crime scene.

Anna awakes with a scream from her sleep. She looks at the clock. It's already midnight. The nightmares are getting stronger more and more. Even her doctor could not tell what to do to ameliorate her dreams. All those pills and remedies were only make it worse. 
She gets off the bed and goes in the kitchen to drink some water. She knows she will not get back to sleep this night. She looks at the cellphone on the wall and thinks to call her sister, but it was too late for calls.She'll give her a call later. She takes a glass of water and goes straight back to the bed. She turns on the lamp on her right and starts to read something, in hope that she might get back to sleep.
