LMK: The Adventures of Macaque and Bei Da

Chapter 5: Comfort After Nightmares

"Oh no, no, no, NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!" Bei Da yelled.

She was in the alleyways again, the same alleyway where she lost her cat and got possessed by her. Bei Da hated this memory. She hated that night. She hated the Lady Bone Demon with every inch of her being.

"What's that, my host?"

Bei Da gasped in fear.

"No..no...NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" she yelled.

"Heh...You really think you have a choice here?" the Lady Bone Demon said in a chill tone.

"I...I know that I don't have a choice..." Bei Da replied. "Please, just leave me alone, please?"

All of a sudden, when Bei Da blinked, she was wearing the dress that the Lady Bone Demon made her wear and she was at the Spider Queen's cave.

"W-WAIT! NO, MAKE THIS STOP!" Bei Da yelled in a pained voice.

She saw MK in front of the furnace. She knew where this was going and she didn't like it. Bei Da screamed for help and begged for all of it to stop, but no one heard her. No one heard her screams for help, her begging, and cries for it to stop. Her screams were useless. Bei Da had no choice in all of this, she was treated like a...like a puppet. Everything was going by so fast and yet everything still hurt. She didn't like this. She didn't like it. She didn't like being treated like this. She wanted it to stop. She was crying. Tears were flooding her eyes.

"Bei Da, come here!"

A familiar voice was heard. It wasn't the Lady Bone Demon's voice. It wasn't Macaque's voice. She remembered who the voice belonged to. It was her mother's voice.

"Mom?" Bei Da replied in confusion.

She was in her old room. She was confused about why she was here. She got up and walked out of her old room and went to her old living room. She saw her mother and father sitting down, waiting for her. She remembered this...she knew what was going to happen here.

"Bei Da, me and your father have some news for you." her mother said. "We will be moving out of the country soon, so start packing your things."

"I..I already know this, why are you telling me this again?" Bei Da asked.

Her mother didn't reply to her question, instead her father replied.

"BEI DA! Don't use that tone with your mother!" her father yelled.

"B- but I didn't use a tone though?" Bei Da stuttered.

"Just pack your things and get that stupid cat." her mother said with venom.

Bei Da felt her tears flooding down her face. She didn't like this. Why was it whenever she had a nightmare it's always this one? She hated this. She wanted it to stop. She wanted to have a nice dream and not this. Bei Da knew that it was just a nightmare, but it still hurt. She was back in her old room again and started crying.

"P-please...I just want t-this to stop..." Bei Da said in between hiccups. "Make it st-stop!"

"Suck. It. Up."

"H- huh?" Bei Da said in confusion.

It was her parents.

"Mom? Dad?" she said, pretending that she didn't hear them.

"SUCK. IT. UP." her parents said in unison.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't like it. She wanted it to stop. She needed it to stop. Why couldn't things go her way for once? She started yelling, begging for it to stop. Nothing worked as usual. She heard two other voices.
