Stronger together

Part 35

*A few weeks later*

Everleigh sat on the floor of her bedroom.
Three weeks had passed since she was back home. Three weeks of finally having a normal life again. And everyone expected her to also act normal, you know, the way she used to act before the kidnapping.
But she just couldn't. It was just so weird....

Directly after she arrived, she was sent to the med bay since she had a lot of bruises on her. After a few hours she was finally able to go home. There she didn't want to do anything with anyone. Absolutely nothing. She immediately went to her room and didn't come out until the next day.

Of course her parent's tried to talk to her. But still nothing came out of her mouth.

Now three weeks later, she still wasn't talking.
Kara and Mon-el left her space but now they were starting to worry about their little girl.

"I'll go talk to her Mon...this isn't normal anymore, she isn't even eating right, she isn't talking and she isn't going out of her room...", Kara desperately told Mon el in a shaking voice. The couple was worrying a lot about their daughter.  It was like she wasn't even being herself  anymore!

"We'll help her together...don't worry..." , Mon el told Kara in his awesomely calming voice, hugging her in comfort since he had noticed how hard she was trying not to cry. He hugged her and she cried, and cried, and cried.

She cried until she couldn't anymore and that was their sign to go talk to Ev.

Kara's pov

Mon el and I walked together hand in hand to Ev's room.

"Ev, we're coming in!", I announced. When I entered her room I was stunned! I glanced at Mon el to see if I'm not the only one seeing that, I mean, I could also just be crazy and nothing of this would be really happening, but no. He just looked as surprised as I did. It wasn't like she did something awful but what she she did wasn't like her.
There were stuffed animals laying around everywhere, some broken and some burned due to her heat vision. Her bedsheets were laying next to her bed on the floor. And when we found Everleigh, we noticed she was sitting on the floor in a corner of the room. One of her favorite plushies was tightly held by her two arms and strongly pressed against her mint green pajamas.
Her eyes were puffy, you could see she had been crying for a long time. Her face was red like a tomato. It looked like she had just had a tantrum, yet it wasn't usual for her. She never really had any tantrums. Of course she had gotten mad before, but not this way...

Mon el and I walked towards her. We made sure we weren't too fast.
When we stood in front of her she looked up.
"What's going on Ev...?", I asked trying to help her up. But surprisingly she kept fighting me not to touch her.
"Don't touch me! I'm a bad person!", she kept screaming. She was really terrifying me and Mon el noticed it so instead of me he took her. Even for him it was hard because she was trying to wiggle herself out of his grip all the time.
"Let me go!", she kept yelling and by every time she repeated this sentence her voice broke down a little more till it came to the point where she wasn't screaming, but she was crying all these sentences out.
"Please...please let me go...", she sobbed into Mon el shirt while we were sitting on Everleigh's bed.
"Calm down Ev... tell us what's going on.", I said stroking her hair. But she couldn't answer me, or she didn't want to answer me? She just kept shaking her head and crying...
"I'm a monster...", she whispered loud enough for us to hear. "No you're not, tell us what's going on. Whatever it is to us you'll never be a monster.", I tried to comfort her. But she just didn't want to listen to me, she just shut everything I said down and instead said something worse.
"You will never love me again.."
"Don't ever say that again Everleigh, ever. We will always love you!", Mon el staid rubbing her back. She was calming down.
„I killed a man.", was the last thing she said before jumping off Mon el's lap and running to the bathroom. And at this exact moment my heart dropped.

She did what!?
