Nightmares (Avalance)

She's on to us

Sara Pov

    Me and Ava follow Dr. Smith into a large room. I immediatly observe it,taking down all of the possible exits in my mind. I look at Ava who is sitting on a large yellow couch. I sit down onto the soft surface, linking my had with Ava's.

     "So, what are you having an issue with?" Dr. Smith asks, grabbing her clipboard and clicking a pen.

"Well, where to start." I say, looking at Ava, prompting for her to take over the conversation.

"Ooh, I know. Sara here," she glances at me giving me a teasing smile, I think to myself the thousands of concerning things she could say, "has been having nightmares." She looks at me, giving me one last teasing look.

     I sigh, not wanting to tell the 'therapist' about it. I couldn't tell her about them anyways, she can't know about my past which means she can't know about my nightmares.

     "To help you I first need to know what they are about." Smith says calmly. I look at Ava,.she looks back knowing that if I don't lie we are done for.

     "Mainly tramatic memories." I say quietly.

     She looks at me with a concerned expression. "Like what, it may help if you tell me about it." She nods her head assureingly.

     "Well, I was in a ship wreck, got trapped on a freighter where I was tortured and forced to torture others. Then trapped on an island where I had to kill and hurt others to survive. Then I was trained how to fight in a cult, where I was forced to be an assassin. Then came back to the city where I poisoned myself to leave the cult. Then was shot by arrows, died, got resurrected, lost my soul, got it back. Dealt with side effects and now am captain of a ship." I say this all almost to quick for anyone to process, "thats only the main idea, there's my sister dying after being stabbed somewhere in there, she's not the only one though." They both look at me shocked.

     I lean back in my chair crossing my arms. Ava is sitting next to me with tears in her eyes, and the doctor has a shocked look in her face. "Star city am I right?" I joke, trying to lighten the mood, all it does is get me more looks from the both of them.

     From the other room we hear a crash. 'oh no, what have they done now' runs through my mind. "I should go check that out, why don't you too keep working, Ava try to get Sara to open up more." She says as she leaves the room.

     "She's crazy, I'm 100% opened up already." I say shaking my head and rolling my eyes.

     "We both know that's a lie Sara, you can trust me." Ava replies, readjusting so that she is angled towards me, she puts her hands on top of mine, our eyes link as we stare into each others.

     "Alright, so what do you want to know?" I question reluctantly.

     "Let me think, what are your nightmares about?" I look down at my lap, why did she have to chose the one question I didn't want her too.
    
     "Verious things." She gives me a disappointed look, "fine, it's about you going through what I did. Are you happy?!?" I stand up, and start pacing infront of the door.

     "What do you mean." She stays in her position on the couch.

     "It means I see you get tortured, have to torture, die, kill, and just suffer in my dreams." I say, the memories of the nightmares comming back to me, switching from watching Ava suffer to me feeling the torture, death and pain.

     It's clouding everything else in view, I slide back, afraid of something happening. I finally reach the corner of the room, curling up in the smallest ball I could. I can tell Ava is near, but I can't tell if it is my imagination or if she really is here.

     "Sara, Sara, Sara," I hear Avas voice but cannot process it, I slowely begin to escape this neverending nightmare, when I open my eyes there she is, Ava.

(A/N, idk how to write a panic attack, so I'm kinda just copying other stories and how they write it, so, sorry if I offend you, I'm not a doctor or any of that, and honestly I didn't want to do extra research when I've read so many examples of it in other fan fic's.)

     "Sara, I'm so sorry." She comes over wrapping her arms around me, pulling me to the ground, where she wipes my tear filled face.

     "Oh, what are you too doing? I can tell you made some progress?" The doctor asks Ashe she reenters the room. Ava stands up and gives her a smile, then pulls me up.

     We sit on the couch, leaning towards one another. "I have another exersise, if your willing to try it. Do you have any scars Sara?"

     I look at her then myself, "just a few." I sat sarcastically.

     "Alright I want you to tell Ava where all of them are from." She continues.

     "I don't think we have that much time." I say Sarcastically. I pull up the back on my shirt, showing my scar filled back. "like I said, may take a while."

     "Oh, ummm, that's alot of scars." The doctor says awkwardly. "We sadly don't have that much time left and I didn't have any other plans for this meeting, so if you would like to leave you are welcome to." She says, trying to salvage what is left after the awkwardness of me showing some of my scars.

     "Oh, alright then. We should get going anyway." Ava says, grabbing my arm, and pulling me out the door. "Let's go to the bathroom and get you cleaned up. I look at myself in the mirror, I look like I just ate a really spicy pepper.

     We are silent the entire time. I thought I would regret opening up to Ava, but oddly enough I am relieved.

A/N

Sorry theirs chapter is boring, and that j haven't updated in over a week. I will admit I put in the P/A in there because the chapter needed something that wasn't boring, in a fictional book it adds spice, in irl it's completely different. So don't get offended please. I will be updating sometime soon, and I promice this story is going somewhere, but I need to set it up.
Thank you for reading,
Your author (better still be🤣),
