I stumbled back and would've fallen if Tyler didn't catch me. I stared at the picture in front of me. Unlike last time, my mind wasn't paralyzed but my body was. I couldn't move, I could just stare. My mind was drowning in a mixture of emotions. Do I run away, move closer, cry or laugh? I couldn't decide.
I was swimming in this ocean of emotions when a memory in the form of a coral reef hit me.
'Mom?' An eleven year old girl called while looking at a photograph of Edra held delicately in her hands.
A beautiful, redheaded woman walked out of the kitchen wiping her hands on a cloth.
'Yes princess?' She said in her amazing honey-like voice.
'Who's she? She looks like you, only with auburn hair.' The little girl replied.
Her supposedly mother walked towards her daughter. She took the framed picture and looked at it with love and longing and sadness. A tear threatened to fall but she soon regained her composure.
She looked at her daughter and said, 'She was my sister. And I loved her very much.'
'Then why haven't I ever seen her?' Her auburn haired daughter asked
'That's because she lives far, far away....' The mother said her voice trailing off.
I snapped back to reality. I was exhausted. I held onto the nearest thing to prevent myself from falling to my knees, and the nearest thing happened to be Tyler's t-shirt. I was breathing heavily and couldn't see clearly. I took one last deep breath and stood up. I let go of Tyler's t-shirt.
I turned to look at Edra's portrait when I realized that the I was the little girl, the supposed mother was Mariana and the picture I was holding was of the very portrait in front of me.
'They were sisters.' I whispered and turned to Tyler who was looking like the most shocked person that I've come across.
'I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and nor do I know how you did that.' He finally said, looking at my hands.
I swear I would've laughed at his expression if I wouldn't have felt the sudden weight in my hands. I looked at my hands and I was holding the very picture I saw in my flashback. Now it was my turn to be shocked.
I lost my grip on the picture and the world. The beautifully framed picture fell to the ground and the glass shattered whereas the world spun away from me till all I saw and felt was dark emptiness, the cold marble floor and a piece of glass cutting into my hand. The last thing I knew was that I had blacked out.
