“Thud!”

Jaden flinched. He turned to where the sound came from.

“Sorry, my mistake” a man said, before he bent to pick the fallen object. Jaden shook his head in negation, with a smile planted on his face. He turned back to face his work.

“Jaden dear, where is your brother, lunch is ready” a feminine voice echoed from somewhere around him.

“Alright mom!” Jaden yelled before he left to call his brother. They joined their parents on the dining table, and just as he was about to put a spoon of rice in his mouth...

“We’re here in peace!” the mother yelled, her arms suspended mid-air.

“Huh?” Jaden exclaimed in confusion.

“We mean no harm! We mean no harm” his dad and his brother joined in.

The sound became louder than normal.

Jaden blinked open his eyes. It was dark. He exhaled sharply, it was all a dream.

“We mean no harm” Dylan said, his arms suspended mid-air.

The other two followed his actions.
