Everyone paid attention to him and they went back to the house, but Arian kept thinking because there was a cemetery of animals near his house and the owner had not told him about this was something illogical that he never mentioned and because it was covered or closed. When returned, to Ximena comment where they were the children and what he had seen, she also had the same astonishment, when Arian told him; the most surprising thing is no one had told them about that cemetery. The whole afternoon passed, the baby shower finished, his family and friends said goodbye and went to their homes. The next day Arian went to ask his neighbor about that cemetery if he knew why he was there, the neighbor told him that you have to be careful with that cemetery because in any comment you can change your life. Arian was surprised to hear that, but the most worrying was, when he told him that he would tell him something about the animal cemetery.
-(neighbor) I´m going to tell you a story that happened a long time ago. I had a son who took care of him with my whole life, but at the age of 12, one day I accidentally hit a pottery that belonged to my mother, I got angry with him and he left the house furious, the buses that pass to Everyday a certain hour they have no conscience, they pass by at full speed that one day they took away the most precious thing in my life. At the moment my little son left the house furiously he did not realize that the bus was coming and as they pass by at full speed and never notice anything, I kill him, I leave him dead instantly, I was bury him and a days I was take out his body from the cemetery and I went to bury it in the animal cemetery, if you look closely at the cemetery you have a circle in the middle I buried it there and my son revived.
-I can not believe it, but for you it´s a bit of news, your son is alive! (Arian).
- But I had to kill him!
- What? I´m confused! Why?
-Because he was not my son!
- As?
- That child had the appearance of my son, but it was not, because of the despair, thinking that it was my fault, I thought that the one who had killed him was me, I did not mind anything else that came back to life. But the boy who came back was not my son, my son was good, kind, helpful, but the one who came back was not him, one night he try to kill me dead, makes him believe that he loves him, but I just wanted to take my life, but I got up and took the knife from him hands and I keyed her in my heart, he died again but this time I burned him ashes. I advise you not to trust that cemetery, even if it hurts to lose a family member do not bury it there.
Days passed and Arian had commented on what the neighbor told him, Ximena was also amazed, but they ignored that they were a happy family and there would be nothing to change their lives. The months passed Ximena already had 9 months of pregnancy and the birth of his son approached, they waited with joy to the new baby of house. One morning Ximena started with the pains and Xavier took her to the hospital, while Luci stayed with her grandmother at home very excited because she was going to be born her new little brother. They arrived at the hospital, Ximena was in severe pain and the doctors did not come soon, the doctor finally arrived, who took her to the operating room so that the baby Arian went after them, Ximena squeezed her strong hand and after a few minutes gave light the baby was born strong and healthy and Ximena was in perfect condition decided call their baby Luis, Arian and Ximena were totally happy to have their baby in their arms, waited for the doctor allow Ximena to go home.
In the afternoon, Luci and her grandmother waited at home for her father, mother and little brother to arrive, she opened the door and she was her mother with the girl in her arms, Luci ran to her mother´s arms to see his brother was so happy to ask him if he could play with him, but his parents told him he was still too young to play, but in a few years you could play with him, Ximena told Luci. Everyone was happy with the arrival of the baby who held a meeting to introduce the new baby of the family. The months passed and Luis was close to completing the year and little by little he learned to walk, he was giving his first pass. Similarly, one afternoon, when her family was in the garden, Luis was already walking alone and came to the edge of the house and began to cross the street, Ximena and Arian realized that their little son
Luis was in the middle of the street and the railroad was coming at full speed that they did not know how to reach it, but suddenly his neighbor took the child and took him to the other corner. They were afraid to think that something bad could happen to the child, but the railroad passed and they saw that the neighbor had his son in his arms. The neighbor crossed the street to Arian´s house and gave him his soon, but he warned them to take care of him and take better care of him, because usually this kind of thing happens very often and then there is no remedy. They were very grateful to the neighbor for saving Luis´s; life and invited him to go home one night to dinner so he would not feel so lonely, the neighbor accepted and thanked him once again for finding him saved
After two weeks, Luis already knew how to walk well and played a lot with Luci, they ran throughout the house and the joy was kept at home. One night his neighbor arrived accepting the proposal they had offered, they all ate happily and the neighbor began to get acquainted with Ximena, Arian, Luci and Luis because he felt that they were like his family, the weeks passed and the neighbor felt that each time the vat wanted more and more. Arian and Ximena had invited him every Sunday to have a picnic in the garden, so he went every Sunday carrying a basket for the picnic, always played with Luci and Luis because he felt they were like his grandchildren, everyone was very happy.
One Sunday afternoon they all gathered for the picnic, they were in the garden, while Ximena prepared the sandwiches and Arian with the Neighbor played with Luci and Luis, when it was time to eat they all sat on the picnic cloth and ate, but in an oversight while fixing the table everyone did not realize that Luis was walking trying to catch a butterfly and was heading to the edge of the garden, when Luis was on the edge of the garden, Arian sees Luis and runs trying to reach him but a railroad approached with greater speed the same one that almost killed him the previous one, but this time there was no one to save him, and the bus stepped over and left him totally dead. The despair for Ximena and Arian was inexplicable; they never thought that something like this would happen with their little son Luis who was just at the beginning of his life.
The next day all disconsolate about what happened, they met to see the small body of Luis, family and friends who were crying for such a tragic act. The days passed and Ximena decided that it would be more convenient to live with her mother because the sector was also dangerous for Lucia. The next day they decided to move to the house of Ximena´s mother, after two days living with Ximena´s mother, Arian needed some boxes with some tools inside and remembered that she left them in the previous house, she told Ximena that I would go for the tools I needed, she told him that it´s okay, but that he will coming home soon. Arian went to the previous house when he arrived, checked the boxes to see who was getting the tools, while he checked he remembered what his neighbor said and because of the desperation he went to the cemetery to get his son, I took him out and buried him in the cemetery of animals.
At night, Ximena was worried because Arian did not arrive and went to look for him at the house. While he went in search of Arian, he fell asleep in a bed that was still in the previous house, suddenly Luis revived and started walking to his house. When Luis arrives he starts to say dad, dad, dad ... but Arian was sleeping but suddenly Luis was with a knife in his hands trying to kill Arian, but only stabs him in the shoulder and Arian runs and hides from Luis, At that moment Ximena arrives, enters and starts looking for Arian but can not find him, when he turns around he sees Luis asking to be held in his arms, Ximena for the love of mother he takes him in his arms and Luis stabs him in the right eye Ximena releases him but Luis takes him by the feet and takes her away, when Arian hears Ximena´s scream, he leaves and when he enters he sees Ximena hanged, but he sees Luis who was behind him and kicks his and stabs him in the heart and dies
Arian sits on a step and starts to cry, because now not only had she lost her little son, but also her wife. He did not know what to do or how to tell her daughter Lucia about her mother, that she would no longer be with them, after a few minutes the telephone rings the house, but Arian was afraid to answer she thought it was a bad thing, but he raised the phone and was the mother of Ximena asking to speak with Ximena, at that moment tells him what happened, Ximena's mom starts to cry but asks him to talk to Lucia because she is desperate, Lucia takes the phone and starts talking whit her dad.
-Dad.... (Lucia) Why do not you come back?-Don't worry, soon I'll go home. (Arian)
-You will come with Mon?
-Your mom will not come with me
-why Dad?
-Because she left with your little brother.
-But my little brother is in heaven.
-She went with Luis.
-My mom also went to heaven.
-If Lucia.
-But, Dad, you're not going to leave me.
-No Lucia, I will not leave you.
-Then come soon dad.
-I'm on the way.
