opening. Kevin had to take a lot in the meantime. Thug number 2 had given him a black eye and was far from done with him. He punched him in the stomach, causing Kevin to groan. His opponent wanted to kick him until he heard a scream. His friend had a few bruises and his shirt was torn, but he had managed to follow Emma. This had climbed from the window on a branch that led to the roof of the tree house. However, since the bat was larger, all he had to do was jump to get to Emma. This looked for a hiding place, but found none."Now it's your turn, little one. You don't dance around us anymore.", He snapped and walked towards Emma. This stepped back further and further. Then it happened. She stumbled and lost her balance. She fell back and began to fall. She was able to hold on to the wood of the tree house for a moment, but not for long. It fell several meters. Kevin and the thugs watched in horror. "Emma! Emma!" Shouted Kevin, startled. Emma had reached the bottom and didn't move. "Hey! Let's get out of here!" Shouted the bat who had worked Kevin at his buddy. This did not react. The shock that he was to blame for the accident was too deep. His friend had to yell at him a few times before he climbed down. Then the two took their legs in hand and started walking. Under no circumstances did they want to face the consequences. As injured as Kevin was, he got to his feet and stumbled over to his sister. It still hadn't moved. Kevin realized with horror that she had fallen unhappily and hit a large stone.
The student
For the first few seconds, Kevin didn't know what to do. He tried to shake Emma awake, but it didn't work. "Adrian! Adrian!" He yelled for help. Of course, he didn't hear him. Instead one of the nuns who was sweeping the yard. She came running up and saw with horror how Emma lay there. Blood pooled next to her head. Her heartbeat increased and breathed loudly. "My God! Kevin, what did you do?" She asked the boy. Under other circumstances the boy would have defended himself immediately, but now Emma needed help. She must have been hurt and needed a doctor. Or was it already too…. Since the nun didn't want to do anything at first and just stood there, Kevin sprinted off. He ran back to the monastery as fast as he could. Adrian was found quickly. He reported everything to him in brief, and he recognized the seriousness of the situation. He pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, which he otherwise rarely used. The orphanage had its own doctor. However, he lived in the village. He only came up when he was on duty. Kevin prayed he was still here. Dial tone. Then someone answered. He and Adrian exchanged a few words, and the doctor promised to come immediately. Adrian described the way for him and then started walking himself. Kevin was out of breath. Still, he followed. Exhausted, he arrived at the tree house. Adrian and the doctor had already arrived. They had tucked some towel under Emma's head and the doctor pushed her eyelids up. He saw the nun talking on Adrian's cell phone. She spoke very quickly, but it was evident that she was talking on the phone to someone from the village. When she finished, she asked the doctor if there was anything else she could do. This said no. "What about her?" Asked Kevin. He's never been so scared as he is now. Emma was all he had.He had to get annoyed before anyone listened to him. "I talked to the doctors down in the village. They call an ambulance, but that can take a while. Besides, he can't get up here, and it will be difficult to bring the girl down. And all because of your stupid game of hide-and-seek." Doctor too. He didn't know what had really happened, but he judged Kevin beforehand. Adrian bit his lower lip. "We're running out of time. She is unconscious or in a coma. The doctor has stopped her bleeding, but as long as we don't know how badly she is really injured, we can't help her. She has to go to the hospital, but that can be good." take several hours. ", he confronted Kevin with the truth. It was too much for him. He fell to his knees and stared intently at his sister. He started to howl

not knowing what would happen next. If he lost his sister, he didn't know what to do next. He had promised her to protect her and now he had failed. The doctor thought it was not a good idea to carry Emma, ​​so he requested a stretcher. Adrian reacted immediately and ran past Kevin. This wanted to help, but he would only be in the way. Adrian came back with a stretcher and he and the doctor slowly heaved Emma onto it. The two began to carry Emma in while Kevin just watched. Should he just sit there and do nothing? No! His sister needed him now. He went with the two of them and left her side. They took the girl to the hospital room. A bed was ready there. "Go now. I'll examine you more closely. Then everything will go faster with the paramedics.", The doctor explained. But Kevin refused. Adrian told him, however, that there was nothing he could do for Emma at the moment. Depressed, he left the sickroom with Adrian. "What should I do now?" He asked his mentor. "Take a rest. You can't do more at the moment," he advised him. Kevin resisted, as if Adrian had to tell him to. Kevin stomped into his room, completely beside himself. Sleep or rest was out of the question. What if he didn't see his sister again? He lay down in his bed and cried. Soon he was so exhausted that he fell asleep. Hours later he opened his eyes again. His memories came back immediately. He checked his watch, got up, and ran to the hospital room. He wanted to check on his sister. The door was locked and he was about to open it when he heard voices. Adrian and the doctor talked. "Time is not on our side. The ambulance won't make it in time," said the doctor. "Can't you treat her somehow? You have a lot of stuff here." Adrian persisted. The doctor apologized. "I don't have the right equipment. I've examined it carefully. It has internal injuries. Even if the paramedics rush in within the next minute, it looks bad.I'm sorry. ", he tried to teach Adrian. The latter nodded in concern." Then I'll tell Kevin. ", he mumbled and opened the door. Outside stood a completely scared boy." Kevin ... ", Adrian began, but the boy didn't want to hear anything. Thick tears welled down his face. He got up and started to run. He didn't have a real one Aim, but kept running. Adrian thought about following him, but then left it. He couldn't find the right words. Kevin ran and ran. Soon he was standing in front of an entrance. The two huge pillar doors were open Stone bowls carved into the wall. There was water in them. Kevin penetrated into the huge interior. He finally marched down the long corridor with long benches lined up on its sides. He was in the chapel of the monastery. He was the only one at this time, he was at the altar

arrived and dropped to his knees. He pressed his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to pray. God was that
