Sara shoots awake around six in the morning,whimpering and shaking.
"Hey Sara it was just a dream your with me" Ava rubs her collar bone
She looks up at Ava
"You're okay" Ava strokes her hair "We are at Felicity's House"
Sara burries her face in ava's shoulder.
"Do you want to talk about it Sara" Ava holds Sara in her arms
Sara shakes her head wrapping her arms around Ava
Small thuds pound the ground heading towards the couch.
Sara springs up from the couch extending her bo staff prepared to fight to the death.
Only to see a four year old Mia Queen standing there frozen in horror holding a small bowl of cheerios
Sara drops her staff and Ava rises from the couch
Mia drops her bowl of cheerios and starts screaming at the top of her lungs.
Sara cluches her shirt grabbing tighter backing up so much that she almost trips over the coffee table
"Mia" Felicity races down the stairs to Mia "Honey, thats just your Aunt Sara and Ava" She rubs her back.
Ava looks at Mia then at Sara. All of the color was drained from her face and her breathing hitches
"Sara" Ava holds her ice cold hand trying to ground her, but Sara's mind is elsewhere.
"Mia Honey please can you go upstairs for a moment" Felicity rubs her daughers back
"Sara" Ava asks again.
Sara's mind is occupied with thoughts of the little girl in the yellow dress and her screams of terror at finding her fathers corpse. The smell of burning pita wafting from the other room. The sound of the table being bumped and his blood on the floor. The texture of the blade in her hands and how it felt when she released it. How he crumpled to the ground like a flower out of bloom. The pain and fear in his eyes knowing his child would be orphaned. The begging tone in his voice, he knew pleading was useless but worth a try.
"Sara" Ava strokes her shoulder causing Sara to shudder and shiver.
Ava slowly helps Sara onto the couch. She starts to mumble incoherently and starts to cry
"Babe" Ava tries to get Sara's attention without causing any more distress. She tries to slow down her breathing.
"I'm okay" Sara catches her breath wiping her eyes standing up from the couch "I'm going to go outside."
"ok" Ava looks over the couch with concern.
"She's getting triggered again" Felicity asks "It used to be just violent episodes never full on panic attacks." she adds shocked
"I know they've gotten worse they used to be low scale nightmares every now and then" Ava sighs
"What could have caused it" Felicity sighs
"I know what caused it, but its Sara's thing to tell" Ava trys to look at Sara out the window
"But I can tell you is she is angry at me for not being angry with her" Ava sighs taking a seat at the island
"She's just scared of losing you" Felicity pours her a cup of coffee.
