1.

Coffee? No thanks. Helena said rubbing her hands against each other. The weather started getting

colder as winter was approaching. It had been a month already since school started and Keith and

Helena kept on talking but she never revealed anything about her life.

Its cold Hel, drink some. Im fine. If you say so. She let out a cold smile that nobody had ever seen

before. Youre smiling. I havent smiled in ages. You should do it more often, it makes you even

more beautiful. She looked down at her feet and wiped the smile of her face.

About that biology project, would you mind coming over to my house? We can work on it together.

Keith stated as he wore a grey hat which covered most of his chocolate brown hair, messing up his

previously set hair. Seriously though, you should make other friends. Its hard making friends here.

You should know that. It was my decision to have no friends. Silence fell as they both walked

awkwardly in the empty streets.

After some seconds of thought Helena looked back at him. Why dont you come over to mine? Shesaid spontaneously. Sure. Come on, you can come over today. She walked and he followed her.

The gates creaked as she pushed them open. Come inside, quick. Why all the hiding? She ran up to

her room and he followed her. Close the door behind you. They both opened their biology books and

researched the Blueprint of life for genetic information and other stuff they were barely interested in.

This is boring. Keith said as he let out a small laugh. We still have to do it sometime. Sometime, but

not necessarily today. He closed his book and laid down on the bed and looked around.

That picture of your mother still astonishes me. She looks like a copy of you. Helena closed her book

and stared at the picture as tears swelled up in her eyes. What happened to her? She died. Im

sorry. Its ok. He got off her bed and went up to her. He placed his hand on her hips from behind and

tucked her closer to him. Whats your story Helena? Life isnt about the past. So, you dont want to

talk about it?No. Suddenly a loud doorbell rang.

You have a door bell? Keith said sarcastically. Yes,but only two people know about it. She ran down

the stairs and opened the door.

Youre here! Helena said excitedly as she walked down the stairs still looking poised. I know darling,

we are. Im so glad youre safe. I am gran. She said as she hugged her grandmother tight. We came

as soon as possible. Her grandfather said as she hugged him next.

They already knew I was living here. All they want to do now is take everything away from me. Helena

said calmly. What other information have they got? Everything. My name, address, everything.

Theyll be after you, theyll kill you. They cant kill me. Remember who I am gran.I know dear, leave

everything to me and grandpa. Were not going to let history repeat.

Whos that? Her grandfather whispered as he pointed to the boy standing in the stairwell. My friend,

Keith. Nice to meet you Keith, come join us for tea. Its ok. I have to go anyway. Ill see you

tomorrow Helena. Bye.

Does he know? Her grandmother asked as Keith walked out the door. Not a clue. Hes in danger. I

tried telling him that, he wont listen. Youre in a bigger danger with him. Does it still count for me?It will make you weaker, for sure. Unless hes. Hes not. He wouldve known about me.

Go rest dear, were here now. Her grandmothers white hair glittered in the only light coming from the

chandelier in the living room as she stroked Helenas black hair. Helena nodded and ran off to her room.

Those evil little monsters, Im not letting them take her away from me. They already took away Carla,

not Helena now, definitely not. Calm down Elizabeth, we wont let them take her away, shes too

powerful anyway. What about that boy? He can let her down. I know our Helena; shes too strong

for that. But JohnWe will protect her Elizabeth! He replied as he sat down in the leather

armchair. White smoke trailed from his pipe as he filled the living room with a strong smell of tobacco.

Why are you so calm about this John? You know how this works. Theyll do anything to get rid of her,

anything. I didnt have what I have now to protect Carla. Now Im angry, furious, devastated. Ill do

anything for her. Kill if possible. Elizabeth sat on the opposite armchair after she lit the fireplace. The

glistening fire lit up the whole room.

Its been a while since Ive seen some light in this house. Helena said as she slowly came down the

stairs leading to the living room. Theyll know youre not alone now. Go rest honey. You think theyll

be scared of you? Please gran, they werent even afraid of me. Helena answered with a cold attitude.

Go sleep, you need to rest. Now were here to protect you, you can sleepsafely. I cant sleep!

Helena shouted like she needed to get it off her chest. With that tears came out of her eyes.

Whats wrong? Elizabeths face got really serious as she stood up. Ive been seeing mum. What?

John exclaimed.

Every night, as I lay in my bed, I hear a voice, outside my window, saying Save me, save me. I get out

of bed and open the curtains to look out the window and shes there. Her blue eyes shining and her

black hair looks like silk. She has sorrow in her eyes and a sad smile on her face. I run out from my room

and outside. As soon as she sees me coming out the back door she looks at me with a look of despair

and helplessness in her eyes. Its only for a few seconds then she walks away and disappears into thin

air. Are you sure youre not dreaming or imagining? It feels so real. I could feel the sadness and the

cold. Sometimes I just feel like grabbing her and take her inside with me but I never have the time. Shes

alive, I know it. Dont get your hopes up. I wantto save her if shes still alive, and Ill do anything to

get her back gran.

No Helena, youre not going anywhere near those people! Her grandmother yelled as Helena was

putting on her black hoodie.

Im more than sure that mum is alive. Helena said back in montone.Its a trap! Cant you see?

Helena please listen to your grandmother. I agree with her. This is all a trap. Her grandfather

continued calmly.

Im pretty sure its the same out there as in here. Just let me go and Ill prove you wrong. She said in

determination. Helena I said no! Its my mother were talking ab Shut up and go to your room,youre not reasoning!

Why doesnt anybody understand?! Shes my mother! Im the reason she was taken away. Now all I

want to do is save her and I know I can do it, so please let me try! Silence fell in the room, you could

hear a pin drop. Well think of a good plan to try and save Carla but till then, go sleep, please, Helena.

Her grandfather stated. Thanks for understanding grandfather. Helena replied as she went back up to

her room.

So much for a plan, Ill save her, I know I can. Helena mumbled as she went into her room and picked

up the nearest backpack she could find. She opened her wardrobe and picked out some clothes and

stuffed them in her bag. She looked at her watch with the hour hand pointing between 12 and 1 and the

minute hand on the 6. She walked to her window and opened it up. This ought to be good. She said as

she climbed out of the window. She stood on the ledge and took a deep breath. Here goes nothing.

She jumped off the ledge and tumbled down on the floor. She groaned in pain as she stood up and

walked slowly away.

She walked and walked for minutes from different streets.

It was too dark to realize where she was. It was

I dont have just love. Its anger, hatred that resulted due to my complete failure.
