Lily's POV
No.
Nonononono.
"Nothing."
No.
"That's all you'll ever be."
Go away!
Pain explodes across my back.
I don't want to remember.
"The fire was your fault."
I know.
"This is the last time, you-"
I can't hear over my own screaming.
I pull at my shackled wrists.
"STOP! Please..."
The burning on my neck dissipates.
Sizzling water.
No.
I don't want to remember this.
NO!
Then the scene shifts.
At first I'm grateful, then I'm horrified.
No.
This is worse
"How was school, my Lily?"
Mom.
"Fine-"
"When you say 'fine' it's anything but. What happened Min kjærlighet?"
"It was nothing Mamma. Really."
"Don't let it set there ok? I'm here if you need me."
"Ok Mamma."
No.
Please no.
Then it's later in the day.
I didn't notice this before.
My vision is tinted blue at the edges.
"Hello Lily."
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU!"
"I'm the Spectre."
"The what?"
"You heard what I said. And I'm more of a what than a who. I am the traces of a lineage of your family, and I've chosen you."
"Chosen me for what?"
"Chosen you to live."
"What?"
"Chosen you to love."
"Mamma?"
"Chosen you to lie."
Pain flares through my head.
Blue clouds my vision
"MAMMA!"
I hear her feet hitting the stairs as she runs upstairs.
"No. Not my Lily!"
"Mamma it hurts."
"Only five! How could you!"
"MAMMA!"
"It's gonna be ok baby."
"Make it stop!"
"I can't Min kjærlighet."
"Mamma?"
"I love you."
I look into my mirror that was decked in princess stickers.
Staring into my own eyes.
