Because Tina wasn’t sure she could bear it if she wasn’t…
—————————————————————————————
Time seemed suspended… But isn’t it always the case when you are besieged?
They tried to hold onto the simplest actions, the smallest victories, the tiniest pleasures… And every single laughter.
The children’s laughter.
They would keep them busy. With games, stories, and all kinds of activities. Even English lessons…
They would have them help in the kitchen. Peel the last sweet potatoes and then give the peelings to the mouse. Cut the fruits. Wash the dishes…
They would try with all their might to distract them from the war. From the gunshots and the explosions outside. From the soldiers at the gate who kept taunting them by stuffing themselves with food, and who laughed as they waited for them to starve…
Kit had examined them all, but fortunately none showed any symptom of the virus.
The large dining room had been emptied from its furniture and turned into a big dormitory, where Tina, James and Kit were taking turns to sleep with the children.
Now, Kit and Tina were watching with a smile as James had gotten the boys involved in some physical exercise.
“Come on, boys… One… two… three… four… five… Hold it… Juan, Ricardo, hold it… hold it… Okay, you can let go… Alright now, one more time…”
James’ voice was echoing through the room as the boys followed every instruction with good humor and laughter.
“Okay… I think that’s enough for today… Great job, kids!”
The children lied on their backs, breathing heavily but smiling. They were happy.
“Alright, boys” Kit called out, “Who wants some juice?”
The kids rushed to her shouting “Me! Me! Me!…” and they all disappeared in the kitchen. All, but one… Sebastian, the youngest. He was only five.
He pulled on Tina’s hand and led her to the corner of the room, where a beautiful gramophone with an old-style horn sat on a table.
“Que es eso?” He asked with adorable curiosity. (What is this?)
Tina kneeled beside him and smiled.
“This is a gramophone, Sebastian.” She explained, “This is used for music… Para musica.”

I had this feeling it would be Bette… well, at least they’re together now! It makes me somewhat calmer knowing that whatever’s gonna happen, they’ll face it together. You really enjoy torturing us, don’t you? So mean… lol. Can’t wait for the next chapter!Also, I want to say that you have my biggest respect for being so brave and doing humanitarian work and helping people in need. *hands you a rose* ;)

hmmm… you really enjoy teasing us, don’t you?! another great chapter! PPS
Wow, that was tense. Who better to take care of Bette than Tina. I hope they find food, and really find each other. Great chapter, and PPS.
the only things that keep me calm at this moment is knowing that they will fight it together!!
can’t believe you let us hang there…. pps!
Ouch! That hurt, to stop right there! I kinda thought it might be Bette. I salute your humanitarian work, you are a very brave woman.

I hope they find some food and most importantly, a way to help Bette! PPS
This happens in so many war zones If Bette,Kit,Jamesand Tina are together Bette will get better. The best is there and they will do the very best with what they have to help Bette. WLove this story and the way you keep us on the edge of our seats. thanks so much for posting
Ohhhhh…that was not nice. Hurry back to that laptop and give us more. ; ) pps
Your story is wonderfull. Thank You! It is so much better than going to the movies.. And has a great music too!Ooblivion keeps playing in my head through out your narration..
Oh please let Bette be ok!
That was just plain wrong..so very, very wrong!
Oh, my God ! Bette ! I knew it, I knew it, I hadn’t thought of Max ( like James & Tina ) at all… But how in the Hell did she get there ?… I mean, are these soldiers part of the same group that perpetrated the massacre at the lazaretto ? … What were the chances of Bette ending up here ?… OMG ! And what did they do to her ?!!… However, as amazing as this is going to sound from me, I’m almost relieved it’s Bette and not Max, first because as Xella said, at least B & T are going to be together and be able to “fight” together, and second because if Max had been caught they most likely would have all been killed by now. He pretty much seems like their only hope… BRILLIANT CHAPTER, K !! This is simply AMAAAAAZING ! I can’t wait to find out what the bastards have done to our Bette…
On a much lifghter note… When all this is over, I think Bette and Tina should adopt little Sebastian… (Wink!). Well, actually, I was going to say they should adopt all the kids, but there are like 9 of them, so unless they decide to open another orphanage…
