Broken

Chapter 41: This Is Where It All Begins

Astrid

"Hahaha stop, stop it that tickles, hey stop it hehehe," she was being tackled to the floor by someone, she couldn't exactly see who it was but whoever they were just meant that they were very close with each other. That someone stopped tickling the girl who began to at sad and upset trying to trick the person they were close with. That person came over to check and see if they were okay "Hey I'm sorry I didn't mean too – AHHH!" and with that the girl tackled them to the floor. And gave the same treatment back by tickling furiously.

"Hey that's not fair," the other one said laughing their head off. They both stopped and sat up and smiled at each other. "Come here," that someone said to the girl. The girl made her way over to that person and wrapped her into a hug. The girl rested her head against that person and they stayed in that position relax against each other. "When do you think that they will come back?" the girl asked the other person. They looked down into each other deeply. But the girl couldn't look to deep because she couldn't see the person she wanted to see, it was all a blue to her but for some reason she didn't care it was like she already knew who she was talking to.

"I'm sure that they will be back soon don't worry Alana," the girl then sighed but then giggled "You haven't used that name in a while," this time the other person laughed and said "Sorry Astrid just sounds better sometimes," the girl called Astrid then punched that person in the shoulder and they both ended up laughing.

The scene then began to change and became this massive blur which then emerged into what looked like a factory warehouse. The girl and the same person was still there but no longer holding onto each other like they were before and no longer as young as they were before they were more grown up, probably about in their teens. They glanced over at each with worried expression but still the image of the other person was still a blur but they knew that they shared the same expression.

Then also in the scene was a group of other people who some were also a complete blur. "LEAVE THEM ALONE," Astrid went to help the people in need until they dropped to the ground blood pouring from their skin and making a puddle of blood sipping through everything it could find. The person and Astrid screamed at "NO!!!" the person ran to the people's aid but knew there was nothing they could do to help them the last words they said them was "Take care of her ......" and with that faded from this world.

On the other hand Astrid did something she didn't think that she was capable of doing, she ran and ran to these people on the other side of the factory and fought for her life. Soon the other person came to join her and they were fighting for their lives. But what Astrid did she never meant to do, she drove a dagger straight through two people who looked like parents but got knocked out during the process.

The last thing that she heard was the person screaming out her name as they were being dragged away from her and someone else dragging her away from them. Losing each other right after they lost something together was the worst day of their lives. Then everything blacked out and.....

I woke up with a fright and screaming in terror. Sweat was racing down my skin and my hair was soaking wet. By my side was Hayden and Kerri. "AHHHH!!!" I couldn't stop screaming and I was panting dramatically. "It's okay, it's okay don't worry we're here we're here, it's okay nothing's gonna happen it was just a dream, it's okay, shh," Hayden tried calming me down. He ran his fingers through my soaking hair.

I cradled against him feeling safety in against his grasp.

I kept wondering what that was all about. But most of all.....

Who was that person?
