She's growing on me~

Chapter 2

The Past

After entering her dorm room she found herself sitting in the dark on the bed. Her head meets her pillow as she slowly began to doze off. 

"Myah! Myah! What are you doing here? Getaway! It's not safe for you!"  She heard someone calling her name, Someone familiar. She turns her head to see her father yelling at her from across the street. The building was going to collapse and both he and her mother were holding up the building. Her mother was using her powers of controlling plants to have a tree and its branches wrap around the pillars making the building last a bit longer. 

"Mom!" Myah heard herself yell in a younger voice, She looked down and saw herself in her five-year-old body. She knew what was about to happen. She runs over to her parents. She was about to open her mouth to speak when the building started to fall. The trees started to retract. She faces her mother and saw the look of pain on her mother's face. The face covered in blood from her eyes, her nose, her ears, and even her mouth. Her eyes showed sadness until they closed. Myah yelled for her mom as she watched her body fall to the ground. 

Myah opened her eyes and felt the tears on her pillow. She was crying again. Myah didn't enjoy it but she knew if she had kept sleeping she would have to watch her dad die as well. She was glad she woke up. It was weird to her since when she was in the gym she didn't see this nightmare, but once in her bed, she had no choice but to watch her parents die over, and over again.

Myah walked over to the light switch and turns it on. As the light turned on she saw the bloody face of her mother and screamed. She leans on the wall of her door and began to cry again. She was tired of it. She was tired of everything. She wanted it to stop. She opens the window and looked down 

"The fall is ok," She walked over to the wall and then ran towards the window jumping. She closed her eyes and waited for it to be over.

"MYAH! Myah, Wake up, it Saturday, You're going to the woods with your dad. He's gonna teach you how to talk to deers." Myah looked up at her mother and smiled. She gets out of her bed and gets dressed. Something was different, She felt different. She looked at herself in the mirror and looked shocked "Im...18?" She turns to her mother and she nods

"Happy birthday sweetheart!" Myah runs over to her mom and hugs her. This wasn't a dream, was it. Had Myah died and this was the afterlife, Did she join her family in the afterlife. No. She could hear odd noises around her and asked her mother. "Mom do you hear that?" 

The female shook her head no. She followed her mom outside and saw her dad waiting. He looked the same, Just like when he left prison, She was only 4 when he did, And she was only 5 when he died. She walked over to her dad and smiled 

"I can finally make friends with animals and not trees...Trees are so boring!" She clapped. She followed her dad into the woods. She walked through the woods running her hands down every tree and smiled "This, is home...This is what home smells and feels like, I don't need anyone else unless they feel like home." She had her eyes closed as if she was reciting a poem.

She heard her father chuckle "What are you gonna do If I and your mom were to die? Not talk to people? You have to one day leave the next to fly." Myah looked at her dad confused and shook her head.

"The world hates people like you, So why must I be their friend? People only come and go, Dead or Alive, So wh--" She was stopped by her father who looked at her and shaken his head.

"Myah, Dear. People will be rude, people will make you feel unwanted, Crowds of people are the worst feeling because You feel like a stick in the center of a million rocks, You're going to stick out and you're going to get jealous, You're going to want to get comfortable and you're going to want to have everything, even if its nothing at all. But you shouldn't run from your fears, You must embrace them and keep fighting." Myah never heard her father talk the way he did right now. He was always silent about the outside world.

Myah looked at her dad and nods "Dad, What does being jealous feel like?" She sits on the grass and watched her dad as well.

"Well, It's when you want the same thing someone else wants. I remember before you were born and I and your mother met, She was dating this very handsome guy! And I got jealous, I did not only want to be strong like him, but I also wanted your mother. Even if I was a villain, And she was a hero." He nods looked at himself. "I was once a very evil man, I killed those just for fun, Your mom showed me another way. Your mom, Made me the man I am today. One whose ability to be a good father." 

She heard her mother's voice and chuckled "One is a great father. And your right, Maybe we were too strict, We kept her from life, Having her stay in the house, not making friends. Myah, go live, go love, but never stop fighting. WAKE UP." Myah looked confused,

"Huh, no mom? Dad?" She watched as everything went black.

"WAKE UP!" She slowly opened her eyes to the sun on her face. Her body was aching, "WAKE UP MYAH!" She looked to where the voice was coming from, This wasn't her mother Or her Father. She found herself no longer outside. She screams "No!" She began to cry feeling as if she lost her parents all over again. It felt worst." She once again found herself crying again. She looked at the adults around her as one of them soon went over and hugged her. 

"Myah, You scared us...DON'T ever do that again!"
