Just when I thought it was all peaceful, someone's voice fell into my ear, "Elena? Mommy! Elena, wake up!"
The voice pulled me back to reality as my eyes snapped open. I sat back, looking around. The blurred objects started to take shape. The first face that came in front of my eyes was Emma.
Her little hands clutched at my sleeve, her wide eyes glistening with tears and worry, "Mommy...mommy, I am scared."
Her words hit like ice water, making us completely awake. I held her arms, as I scrutinized her from head to toe, while tons of questions, "What? What happened, Emma? Did somebody hurt you?"
She did not answer and kept sobbing in between. That's when I heard Sophie's voice, who sat beside us, as she said, "She is not hurt, but tell me, are you okay?"
I furrowed at her words, not able to understand what exactly was happening here, "What do you mean by am I okay? Tell me clearly. What exactly happened?"
