"Leave mommy alone!" 3 year old Freya cried out as her father smacked Cassandra across the cheek. Freya let out a screaming cry and her father turned to her. Freya's eyes met his violent blues ones and she cried in fear as he stormed up to her.

~Present Time~

Freya gasped as she shot awake, breathing heavily. She ran her hands through her hair, remembering the recurring dream she keeps having.

She covered her face, groaning with confusion. She doesn't understand why she keeps having the same horrible dream over and over again. The weird thing is, she doesn't remember her father's name or his appearance. However, she remembers his heinous blue eyes and his dark and sinister voice.

Only person she has mentioned it to is Chase. At first, it was every week or so, but now it's happening 4 days a week. It's getting more frequent and it's scaring her.

Freya got a knock on her door and Freya brushed her hair out of her face, sitting up.

"Come in."

Cassandra walked in and gave her a smile. "Hi, sweetie. You going to get up, you'll be late for school."

"Aren't I always?" Freya joked and Cassandra grinned with amusement.

"That's not funny. Now, get up, please." Cassandra motioned her to get up and went to leave, but Freya moved to the side of her bed.

"Mom." Freya stopped Cassandra, who turned back to her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Always." She replied.

Freya fiddled with the hem of her pajama shirt and nervously asked. "Has my father always been awful?"

Cassandra was taken back by her question and awkwardly cleared her throat, now uncomfortable with the situation. "Uh... why the sudden interest?"

Freya shrugged, not wanting to admit the truth. "Just curiosity."

Cassandra nervously shifted her weight. "Well... no. When we first got married, he was a good man. I had Juliet before him and I got married and he was alright."

"Than what happened?" Freya frowned in confusion.

Cassandra did not want to continue this conversation due to how much it pained her to confess the truth.
