Nightmarish and vivid. Distant screams can be heard miles away. No doubt they were hurting; whoever they may be. The girl was used to screams. Beating and curses. Barefoot on the hard tiled floor following the ragged racket. Goosebumps erupted on her olive skin. Suddenly she stops. Instantly choking on her saliva. Her aunt, Lucy being unimaginably tortured. Who was hurting auntie? Slowly looking up.. locking eyes with the man. Why does he look so familiar?

Suddenly eyes beaming. Fresh sweat-filled Aurora. Clammy cold hands claimed her forehead. Rapid breathing circulated her body. Shaking like she always did when people hurt her. Frizzy hair covering her face with no room to breathe.

She was having an episode.

"Luna help. . . ." A blur started to form around her.

"Please!"

"I- I don't want to die... I want to be loved!"

"LUNA PLEASE HELP ME!!" she screamed awaiting for the stable black door to peel open. Thoughts filled her head. To call for her younger sister was a cry for help. I don't want to feel weak. I am strong. No one can hurt me anymore. I'm not a child. I'm a woman.

Young Lady. Severus called her that.

Why do we humans have to feel so helpless at times? Feeling, emotions... If we had the same emotion everyday life would be normal. Normal.

No-one knew what she gone through. Yeah, Albus realizes her oh so welcoming past. Yeah her sister and brother felt the same way as she did but they moved on. Her however, did not.

Suddenly a burst wind filled the room. Luna still in her day clothes rapidly approaches her weak sister. "I'm here. . . it's okay, I'm here! My god!" Luna cradles Aurora in her skinny arms. "You're going to be alright... breath." both women slowly breathing locking eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"Stop it!"

"Stop it!"

"Don't you dare apologize for waking up? Goddammit, Aurora you scared me shitless!" Luna sobbed pointing a finger at the helpless woman in her arms.

"I saw her," Aurora confessed staring at the wall. "I saw Lucy. I was fucking there and I didn't do NOTHING!"

"You were younger. Aurora you can't save everyone even if you tried. Your too pure for this dam world my sweet sister. You would even help the enemy if you could but never thought about saving yourself."

"How do you cope Luna? How do you wake up so happy and so full? Tell me, sister! Why do I feel this way!!"

"Remember... I-I extracted the memories out of my mind. There is a bottle in the basement. I had to... I don't know what I would do if I were to still have those painful reminders. You can do the same sister. You can feel free again. What do you say?"
