" Hazel, stop." he murmured in a feather like voice, placing his hand on hers whose index finger she was chewing anxiously. " You won't understand."

His emotionless eyes look upwards towards the only light bulb that was hanging from the ceiling, providing dim light in this dark, cold place. " I will get you back Hazel."

Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father.

" What makes you think that I don't have a backup plan too, Donatello?" there was a mocking edge to Adriano's tone as cocked his head to the side.
