Colin
I open my eyes to see Lo shaking in his sleep. I don't know what is happening but I am pretty sure it has to do with what Ralph did to him last night. I don't want to wake him up. I don't want to stop whatever he is seeing.
He keeps tossing and turning and I just watch him, not sure if there is anything that I can do to help him.
Let him go through this on his own. He will be fine.
My thoughts are interrupted by a loud knock on the door. I look at the clock. It is almost dawn. Who could that be? I turn to Lo again and he is still sleeping. It almost seems like some kind of trance. The sound from the door comes again and this time it is louder. I get up and open the door. It is Tala and she has a worried expression on her face.
"What is it?'' I manage, reading the look on her face.
"There are a couple of people in the compound, they look like savages. They are wrecking everything." she cries.
