The past should never be forgotten. "I see myself in you, but I don't want that monster controlling you," Elise finally reveals, her gaze no where in this world. Priscilla shifts uncomfortably, her mind working to decide if what she was hearing could be true. Her heart racing signaling her inner fear and she swore anyone heard it from six feet away but that did not worry her much.

A monster that she was nurturing unawares, slowly growing inside her and would soon be ready to devour. The monster that would make her wish she'd go back in time and reconsider her life choices but could not because it would be too late. But I, I was here. Torture is real and if she was going to go through what I went through, I swear I would go crazy. "Granma?"
