The park was lonely. The top of the trees were moving at the rhythm the wind set. Just a little girl was playing with a paper ship in a puddle. Soon, that ship would break and the girl would leave but meanwhile she was playing there.
At the other side of the park, there was a girl who was looking for her little sister Lilith. She had been looking for her the whole day and feared that something bad could have happened to her. Although her mind was telling her that she would be fine she couldn't avoid thinking that she could be in trouble or she could have found those strange boys she saw yesterday. Those weird guys... where would they be?
-Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat... -Was singing Eve slowly while she was playing with her paper ship. Her hair was floating in the air and her eyes were crying because of the sand that was in the air.
-Eve, have you seen Lilith? -Asked Clea to the little girl. She was her sister's friend, she could know where she was.
The little kid didn't answer. She just continued singing with a lower voice and even more slowly.
-Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat, that could not, that could not, that could not sail... -Was singing Eve while she was playing with her ship. She was ignoring Clea. She didn't know where Lilith was, she didn't even care about it. That girl was always stealing her toys. She was her friend but sometimes she wishes she would disappear.
-Eve, do you know where she is? -Repeated Clea trying to catch the attention of the girl but it didn't work. Eve continued singing her song like if no one was talking to her and this made Clea really angry. Wasn't she hearing her or what?
Tired, Clea stood in front of Eve crushing her ship to catch her attention. The little girl, angry, stood up and shouted at her. It was difficult for her to make that paper ship and she had destroyed it.
-That was my ship! -Shouted Eve angrily while hitting Clea's leg.
-Where is my sister, Eve? -Asked Clea tired of that girl. Later she would make a damn paper ship but now she had to warn her sister about those kids.
-I don't know it! -Shouted Eve. -Make me a paper ship! That was my ship! I want my ship back! -Shouted Eve while she was splashing Clea with the puddle. Clea, upset, turned around and got near the trees where she had heard a noise. The guys from yesterday were lying on the shade taking a nap.
-I want my ship!
The little girl's shout waked them up suddenly making them see Clea next to them looking at them. They should be with the rest of the kids, not there.
-Hey. -Said Alex nervously. Was that girl chasing them?
-You should be with the other kids. Said Clea staring at them. She would have to inform about those kids who didn't behave as the others.
-When will we be able to do what we want? -Asked Jason smiling. He was too confident. Clea didn't like boys like that, less if they had just arrived.
-Do what you want? -Asked Clea incredulous. -Did you pay attention to the tour yesterday? You have to do what they tell you to do. When you do it, you'll be free to do what you want. What were you ordered to do? -Asked Clea waiting for an answer. An answer that was never made because the guys stood up and left without looking at her. Who were those guys?
