"You're playing with fire, Kaya." His grip on my arm tightens to the point where I know it's going to leave bruises.
"And I know how to let it out." I glare at him.

TW: Blood play.
"Mama?" I walk in the long, dark hallway, searching for her.
"Only if I knew you were a cunt raising up, I wouldn't have married you!" A deep un-welcoming voice says, which makes me stop in my tracks. He's a monster... worse than that.
I look through the peephole of mama's room and find the monster shouting at mama... again.

When the door opens, all I see is that blood-stained monster staring down at me. I turn to look behind him and see Mama dead, her blood pouring around her skull. She eventually shuts her eyes as a teardrop slides down her cheek.
I'm dragged to the basement and thrown down the steps by that monster the next second. The world turns black when my head strikes something hard.

I find myself standing on the grey lake's dock the next instant, staring at my reflection in the water. A dark figure looms over me which whispers, "You were nothing but a mistake... a whore's child... a lifeless one... your mother died because of you."
Kaya
I see mama's reflection next to mine, "Come to me, sweetheart." Her sweet voice says.
I kneel down and touch mama's reflection in the water, "Mama..." Tears roll down my eyes, "Take me with you."
Kaya
The next instant, the water turns red and a bloody hand emerges from the lake which pulls me in.
Kaya!
My eyes snap open when I'm jerked awake. I'm panting heavily and my T-shirt is halfway damp from sweating. A bright light hits my face which makes my eyes squint.
"Kaya, are you okay?" A familiar voice, I mean, Dove asks me.
Breathe in one... two... three now, breathe out one... two... three. Doctor Sen's words echos in my head which helps me control my breathing.
"You scared the living shit out of me." I hear Grace's voice behind me.
I wipe my forehead with the back of my hand, "I'm fine."
"You're clearly not fine!" Dove says while she helps me sit on the bed. "Did you visit Dr. Sen?"
"Yes... yes I did." I mumble. Auntie booked an appointment last week.
My nightmare has become very recurrent recently. I don't know whether it's because mama's death anniversary is nearing or if there's some stimulus which is triggering it. My nightmares are very vivid. It's like my brain is playing different scenes from my life, just like a movie. I don't know how or why my mother was killed. I was there but, I don't remember anything. I asked doctor Sen and he told me that, the fear of me getting caught by Fedrick caused my brain to bury most of my memories about that day. He also told me that there are only fifty percent chances for me to get them back. He prescribed anxiolytics and ended the session.
