"Dad!" I scream as I watch the smoke entering my room by the crack under the door from my twin bed.
"Mawi! RiRi!" I yell and get off my bed, wincing as my bare feet touch the warm floor. I start to scream again but cough as the smoke enters my mouth
"Help!" I scream again, my 4 year old voice hoarse.
I walk towards the door and yank it open with my tiny hands. Fire rapidly consumes everything down the hallway, where everyone is sleeping
"Dad please help me!" I scream again, waiting for him to come save me. Small tears turn into sobs as I run through the hallway, the opposite way from where the fire is spreading
"Mawi?" I try as I go into the kitchen. I'm about to call for RiRi when the roof of the living room collapses
I once again scream but the commotion makes the house shake, I fall on my hands and knees — I cry out when the kitchen roof starts falling.
A big piece of wood, surrounded by flames, lands beside me. "Dad please!" I sob scrambling away from it and hugging my knees to my chest
"Make it stop! Make it stop! Please!" I cry covering my ears and eyes, coughing as the smoke invades my airway
"Shhh, it'll be alright" a girl's voice whispers from behind me. I don't know what happens next. I feel a pinch, someone dragging me away and then...darkness
I open my eyes gasping. I haven't had that dream — that nightmare — in months. When did I fall asleep?
"You okay? We're almost there" Mal asks from beside me, the movement of the car must've rocked me to sleep
"Yeah" I croak out but close my eyes and lean back as I feel all the pain in my body. My shoulder burns like it was crushed into pieces, the bullet wound still bleeding
Everything bleeds. Everything fucking hurts
"I'm going to kill Valenciano" I whisper, ignoring the tear rolling off my cheek
I'm sitting between Noah and Mal, Maverick is shotgun while dad drives. They're all casting concerned looks towards me
"I know you do. We all want to do pretty messed up things to him and mutilate every part of his body after several sweet days of torture" dad comments watching me on the rear view mirror
"Yeah" I mutter and bump my head on the headrest, gritting my teeth and closing my eyes as a wave of sharp pain flashes through my shoulder
"Hey we're almost there, hold on a little longer" Noah whispers grabbing my hand. I squeeze the hell out of it
"Come on Rivs don't pass out on me" Mal says, his voice shakes slightly as he touches my forehead. The dizziness is getting worse "She's burning up dad" he says
