[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1091753, member: 184"] Anika races to her room and immediately goes to her computer. She brings up her vidphone and calls her home in Malmo. An middle-aged woman's face appears. "Anika! Oh, my I was just thinking about you. Are you alright?" she asked, speaking in Swedish. [COLOR=burlywood]"Hi, Mom. I'm fine,"[/COLOR] Anika says with a shaken voice. [COLOR=burlywood]"How are Dad and Jonas? Is everything alright up there? Have you seen...on the TV...."[/COLOR] "Yes, we're fine. Jonas is playing in his room. Your father went to Stockholm this weekend on business. I just finished talking to him," her mother says. Her face turns sad, "Isn't that horrible what happened in Mexico. It's all over the news. That's just awful..." [color=burlywood]"I know...I feel so useless. My friend just...well, she fell and she was convulsing and..."[/color] Anika begins to sniffle, [color=burlywood]"I couldn't help her. And now this. All those people are dead."[/color] She wipes a tear from her cheek. [color=burlywood]"Everyone back home thought I was so special with my 'amazing powers', and I now feel so helpless..."[/color] "There's not much anyone can do, Anni," her mother replied. "We don't even know what happened yet." [COLOR=burlywood]"I guess,"[/COLOR] Anika mumbles. [COLOR=burlywood]"Have you seen Sami lately? I wanted to call him, too..."[/COLOR] "No, not lately, but I'm sure he'd like to hear from you," her mom said. "And, Anni, don't worry so much about this. You're too young to be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. I hope your friend is okay. Call me again soon. I love you." [COLOR=burlywood]"I love you, too, Mom. Bye."[/COLOR] Anika says as she disconnects. She tries to get ahold of her friend, Sami, but there's no answer, so she leaves him a short message. She lies down on her bed crosses her arms over her face, thinking, [COLOR=burlywood][i]I dunno, Mom. I think I'm going to need to grow up really fast, really soon..."[/i][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
