50: REALITY

_I was falling apart, so caught in the dark

Now that you're gone I see it

You were lighting my way

But so much has changed, so where did you go?...'

A little boy sat down shivering as he waited patiently for his sister to return but she didn't.

Hayden had told him he should just sleep and that his sister would be back but she was nowhere to be found.

He could vividly recall how his cousin had transformed into a huge black wolf. It felt like a dream but it was true.

He stood up and hurried out of the house.

To his relief, his parents had just returned. He took to his heels to meet them and they shared surprised looks when they saw him running to meet them.
