'Snow in July'
A small car made it's way down the meandering road as fast as possible. It was filled with sorrow and worries, but also with a growling blue boy and a turtle and his sister accompanied by an alien pet, who just watched the world outside.
Andraste was sweating. It was the first time that she actually cared about somebody. She loved Jacosa, she didn't want him to run away, just because she was a stupid mother. Ranjit had forbidden her to drive the car towards Narra's house and so she turned around to the kids once in a while to check if everything was alright.
Nila was silent as usual and leaned against Russel. She was her baby, but even if Jacosa was an otter, he belonged to her just as much.
Purple eyes turned back to the front as suddenly something white moved into her view. "Ranjit ! STOP !" The woman screamed but it was already too late. The Nokke wasn't able to stop and the family rushed into a hill of white.
Silence.
Otieno pulled Bom of his face and looked at the seemingly shocked parents at the front. Was that the way humans died ? "We broken ?"
Nila buried her face in Russel's fur and watched the reaction of the parents and of Otieno. Where was Jacosa ? What was the white stuff in front of them ?
Ranjit gasped. "Snow ? In July ?!"
Andraste wasn't able to sit still anylonger and tried to open the car's door. It didn't seem to work out and so she opened the window. An icy breeze entered the car and the kids paid attention as their mother climbed out of the window and dared to touch the white stuff that had stopped the car.
Nobody could be seen on the street besides the little car which was stuck inside the masses of snow. Everything surrounding them looked pretty normal though as it was supposed to be in July. Where did the snow come from then ?
A trail of snow moved across the grassy hills beside the street and anger arose in Andraste's stomach. Who dared to precipitate some snow in front of their car ? Without looking back the woman stomped across the grass following the trail of snow steps.
Something brown entered her view and her mouth opened to yell at the person in front of her as she noticed that it was a deer, who was standing in front of a small bundle. The animal dashed off as Andraste kneeled down and picked up the small something. Was it a bomb ?
Carefully she removed a bit of the cloth and was almost about to hit her forehead as two green eyes stared at her intensively. God no, another freaking damn baby !
