Moana P.O.V (Not edited)

"Moana wake up. Wake up baby girl"

I open eyes , my mother shakes my shoulder as I sit up slowly on the bed. She's wearing a bright yellow shirt with a black skirt and with a smile that no one could take away from her. Her eyes look happy the bags that were underneath were no longer there.

"Mom", I call after her. My voice sounding raspy and hoarse. " Yes, baby girl?" she said with love in her voice . "Where am I, why are you here"?. " Honey I live here. Sweetheart are you feeling okay", her eyes becoming worried. " Yeah sorry I'm just a little tired", I said trying to ease her worrying. " Okay then. Hurry up, get ready and come to the kitchen your father made breakfast", then she leaves. That's when I realize Mason is no longer beside me and I'm not the at the Welshires house anymore . I glanced at the walls and see that their is no yellow paint but pictures of me when I was a baby and a family photo with me , my mom, dad, and a little sister I guess.

I get out of bed , walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get dressed. I left my room and went to the kitchen like my mom said. " Good morning Moana', said my father dressed in a business suit . " Good Morning dad", I said back with the same excitement in my voice. Three seconds later I hear the laughter and singing of a little girl. " Good morning daddy", said the little girl dressed in a jean jacket dress with pigtails walking hand in hand with my mom. " Good Morning Mo Mo " , she said while hugging me . I did not know her name so I just kissed her on her forehead which oddly felt like what I was supposed to do.

"Come sit down Josie", said my mom. "So that's her name"! I thought to myself. After my dad put breakfast on the table everyone was finally sitting, I look around the table thinking to myself ,this is what I wanted all along a happy family with no problems and issues .

"Moana can you say grace", said my father taking me from my thoughts. I shook my head yes as I started to pray "Lord, thank you for this day, thank you for allowing me to have a family, to love and hold. bless this food , in jesus name we pray . amen". I opened my eyes to see my parents and my little sister dead, blood was everywhere I ran out the dining room to find a phone but only to come face to face with.

" What a-re you do--ing here", I said in between stuttering. " Moana I told you belong to me ." Then everything went dark I woke up screaming and drenched in sweat. It's just a nightmare I said over and over to myself. I was so stuck in my own world that I did not even notice I woke up Mason. "Moana are you okay? What happened?".

I did not want to worry him so I just said the one thing most people would say, " Yeah I'm fine just a nightmare", I said hoping he would drop the subject. "Okay Moana you do not have to tell me now and that is fine but you will tell me ", he said rolling to his side and falling into his deep sleep. I could not bring myself to go back to sleep not after that dream I just had.

I went down to he kitchen to get some orange juice which always calmed me down, while sitting down at the table my mind started to reel back to my dream " What does it mean? Why was he here" I asked myself. I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not even notice someone behind me . "Moana", said the distant voice "Yes", I turned around to see who was calling me , it was Mrs. We- I mean aunt Brittany.

"Why are you awake honey?'', her voice coming out tired, " I couldn't sleep". " I know how you feel it must be hard knowing the closest people in your life lied to you". She was right everything I thought I knew was a lie but it was only a matter of time before the secrets came to the surface.
