Chapter Sixteen
That night I had a dream about a little girl standing on the mountains with her hands spread out wide, it was already sunset and the sun looked closer than usual but that wasn't what drew me in, it was her smile and her overly familiar face that kept me glued to her. She waved at me as if she could see me and I looked at her in total surprise. She motioned for me to come forward before walking deep into the mountain, out of curiosity I followed her and saw myself getting lost and the pressure in my head became intense.
I followed her till all I saw was an outline of her shadow. When I looked up I was inside a cave and the cave was dark, suddenly the place was filled with a single light and a tree was where the light came from. I walked towards the tree in slow and steady steps and felt the urge to move faster, with that urge I increased my pace till I reached before then I felt a tingle in my body and the pains in my head exploded, all the pieces came together and formed one, everything fell into place and with that I woke up from the dream. My memory, I could remember everything, my childhood and friendship with Morningstar, My training, I could remember everything and the reason I wanted to run away so badly.
I looked around and it was already morning, it felt as if i've been dreaming the whole night. My night cloth was soaked with sweat. I removed it and jumped into the shower, washing away the sweat from last night. I came out from the bathroom after brushing my teeth. I wore a black combat short I packed and a white tee, that was when I noticed it, the quietness of the house, the eeiry sound of the birds chirping, my ears opened wider and I could hear from a thousand miles but all I heard was nature all around me. My senses were now amplified since I had gotten my memory back. I walked quietly to the door, I opened it slowly, my ears listening closely for any sound but I could hear none. I walked down the stairs a little bit fast, my heart in my throat as I would always be the seventeen years old girl I was, I shouted out for Morningstar but got no response.
“Hey ” Someone said from behind. I turned around with a fright
“Oh my Gosh, you scared me” I shouted my hands on my chest
“Sorry” He replied calmly
“I wanted to tell you something I've gotten my memory back” I said excitedly.
“I know”
“How, what do you mean” I asked with surprise.
“Your tattoo, it has gotten bigger”
That was when I noticed the drawings on my hand, I gasped with surprise as it continued growing till it filled my hand.
“I'm sorry ” Morningstar said in a sad and resentful voice.
I looked up at him noticing that the air around him was sad and remorseful.
“What do you mean”I asked grabbing his hands.
“I love you” He mouthed silently. That was when I noticed them coming out from their shadows, out of thin air, materialising in front of me.
“No no no no ” I screamed as I tried to run but with one hit I was caught I struggled with all my strength but it felt like nothing until I was finally shocked. I lay on the ground bleeding but I could still see Morningstar apologizing with his eyes.
A memory from my childhood came when I was asked to shoot Morningstar but I refused, The betrayal cut so deep, I didn't even know if it was my heart or the wounds on my body that was hurting. Painful tears rolled down on my cheek as i blackened out.
