"On my own?" Little Mykel asked and then he looked at everyone's poker face.
"Yes, but you don't have to worry because we are all staying here as well. You can find us if you miss us," Mykel answered as he nodded his head.
Little Mykel looked at the others and they were all putting and forcing smiles on their faces. It was so painful to do that because no matter how much blood they had spilled, no matter how dirty their hands were, lying to Little Mykel was the hardest thing they had ever done.
"Okay, do I have to live here from now on?" Little Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Yes, and just like this diary I wrote. I want you to make your own story from now on, and when you made your own diary with all the exciting things you experienced, you can show it to me," Mykel answered as he showed the diary in his left hand.
"I want to be like father," Little Mykel said in excitement.
