It was a calm day and I was relaxing at home in my room. I'd just finished my chores and was now just regaining energy by watching TV.

I then heard the gate open outside.
'Dad's not supposed to come home now? It's too early.' I thought. I then got up to check who was there.

It was indeed my father and my little sisters. I was beyond confused, but my confusion quickly changed to a panic when they saw my Dad's ex walking in. I quickly ran to the kitchen to keep out of sight of the woman.

I was in the kitchen, hiding behind the table. My little sister then came in and tried to play with me but in doing so, revealed where I was. As I tried to make a run for it, the woman walked into the kitchen. She tried to come closer to me but I just backed up. I kept backing up until I was in the corner of the kitchen counter.

The woman then tried to hold out her hand but ended up making me go into a full-blown panic attack, I sunk into the corner and broke down. As I looked up, the woman had a look of pity as she looked down at me. The same way she looked at me when she tried to manipulate me into thinking my family had completely given up hope for me. I continued crying for a few more seconds before everything just stopped.

I felt fine. My breathing was now normal and not a single tear could be felt coming up. I looked around but there was nothing. The room was completely black. The only light that was there was me. It was like a box but you could walk for miles and just be going nowhere.

I just stood still in case anything happened. I stood in place for a few seconds but got bored, so I decided to see if moving around was gonna do anything. I was correct. Just as I moved, a swarm of bugs came running towards me. I couldn't run in time and the bugs caught up to me. I tried to stomp as many as I could, but there were too many. The bugs were crawling all over me until I fell over.

'It happened again... everything disappeared' I thought as I got up. I was in my room again, but it was different. Something felt wrong. The air around me started getting hot. My breathing started getting heavier. I started panicking again. I then tried to leave the room but failed as I got stopped by an invisible barrier. I then saw my Dad walking past the door.

I tried to scream at the top of my lungs for my dad's attention, but no such luck. The room started getting hotter and it was getting harder for me to breathe. I was screaming for anyone to save them but no one came until...

I woke up with my head under the blanket and my body in a fetal position. I immediately threw the blanket off of me and took a breath of air. I looked around the room to see that my sister and father had already left for work. I then got out of bed and got started on my day in hopes of forgetting the dreams I'd just had.

Or did I....?

~~The end~~

Thank you to everyone reading this. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I forgot to say that, no, my stepmother was not physically abusive. She did, however, cause me emotional trauma. I hope you all have a wonderful day/night and have good dreams. Those are better :). Baii.
