Chapter 22

     After I remember that painful past, the old man, called my name, "Miranda, are you alright?" Then, when he touches me, I suddenly remember his face, that demon face, Alfred. So, I push him and he falls to the ground. "It's you! You're that doctor, you piece of sh*t! So, that is the reason I get pregnant because of you, and after I give birth, you throw me away in the ocean. All of this for your own gain!" 

     After touching him, a flood of memories was shown in my mind. After I sleep for a long time, I open my eyes in a dark place and look in a box. The water is already drowning me and, I experience that for a long time. Wake up again and again and die not knowing if I will survive. Then, that old man stands up and said, "So, you remember, a memory that we share for a very long time." He smirked at me and he continues, "That is right, I did. But that was my plan before, but looked at what happened, I change. Look at me, I grew old and weak, but that doesn't mean I cannot control you, can I?" he smirked again that I push him down the ground and said, "You psycho, I won't let you! I won't let you hurt my daughter as you hurt me!" 

      I grab the knife on the floor when someone shoots me. I look who it might be and it was the young girl, my daughter. She looks at me with disgust in her eyes and continues to shoot me, but I stand up and run towards her passing her by. I tried to get away but, I fall on the ground when I am near the exit, "Sh*t!" That is the only word, I say and my eyes close again.

     The next day, I woke up again. But this time, I am chained in all parts of my body. I cannot move, and even though I try it hurts so much because of the sharp points in the chain. Then, that old psycho man come inside where I was staying, "How are you, Doctor Miranda? Is your body alright?" He smirked then beside him is my daughter but her face is very furious to look at me. So, I said, "Hey! What is your name?" I shouted but the old man laughs and said, "She won't believe whatever you say, because she already knows who you are." 

     "Stop, you piece of sh*t I am not talking to you!" Then, the young girl, point the gun at me and shoot me in the head. The next day, they visit me again, and I try to ask her name again, "Please, can I at least know your name? Just let me know it, please." But she got irritated and kill me again. I tried to talk to her multiple times but she always shoots me. It has been 2 weeks but I still don't know her name, so I just said, "Fine, I surrender. Don't tell me your name, I won't remember it when I die. Now that I know that I can die, after a thousand years, I can rest now. Maybe after you kill me, I can die completely and that would be alright because I know that it's you who killed me and not that psychopath." 

     I close my eyes and tears fall down, I am waiting for her to shoot but she didn't so I open my eyes and found her so close to me, I look at her eyes and so does she. I don't know what happened to her but it seems that she was hurt, abused, and tortured more than me at a young age. Then, I said, "My real name is Ysha, no surname but Ysha." She looks away and walks backward she points the gun at my head and shoots me.

     The next day, I woke up and I found myself sleeping in the car. I look at the driver and it was the young girl. I wanted to ask her, but I just look outside, then she said, "I heard what you two are talking about." I look at her and she continues, "I know that he is a bad guy, and he is my father, but I only stick with him to find you. I thought that if he ever sees you again, he might change and just be a normal person before he died. But I guess that is not true." Her face seems sorry and I said, "That is alright, but I would also like to apologize to you because of what I said earlier. I never thought that there is another one like me and use me as a tool to do his evil plan. But I am also glad that, you are born with good judgment and knowledge. I am sorry for everything." She stops the car and looks at me. I look into her eyes and saw tears falling down. "I..." I wanted to comfort her but then, she hugs me tightly and said, "It is Olivia, mom." I was surprised that she already told me her name and I hug her back.

      After we stop the car and sit there for a while, I ask her, "How old are you now?" "I am 500 years old mom," "Wow, I... I am sorry you experience bad things because of us. I..." I was about to say other words when, I suddenly vomit blood in the car, so I run outside to vomit again. More blood come out, then Olivia run towards me and said, "Are you alright mom? What is happening?" After I vomit, I sit on the sand and said, "I don't know, this is the first time, I experienced something like this." Then, when I touch her shoulder, I saw her memories. I saw her being abused when she was a baby, tortured at a young age, and teach her how to kill someone at the age of 10. Then, when I remove my hand, I look at her and said, "They, hurt you.... I... did not know I am very sorry." I don't know how many times I apologize to her, but my eyes slowly closed again.
