Finding The Way Back to You

Chapter 12- The Nightmare

                                                                                   Kara

I'm running. Not away from something, but towards. What am I running to? or who? As  I run, I take in my surroundings. I'm in the DEO. I get to the cell and find it empty. My heart starts racing in panic. I walk into the cell and instantly regret it when I hear the bitter, evil laugh. I turn around. It's Reign. Her face changes into Alex. Then Sam. It keeps changing from person to person, all of the people that I have ever met. I can barely keep track, the face keeps changing so much.

Finally it stops on Purity. Her milky, white eyes gleam with amusement. I shudder. It's like she's staring into my soul. Purity slowly steps toward me. A knife suddenly appears in my hand. It's the knife that I'm supposed to use to stab Purity and Reign. 

I hate that I have to stab somebody. Even if I'm saving them. She's right in front of me now and I grip the knife harder. She starts to open her mouth, but before she has time to say anything, I stab her.

She gasps and suddenly she's not Purity, but Julia. I wait for her to turn back into Purity, but she doesn't. She starts to fall and I catch her, slowly lowering her to the ground.

"Why," she manages to say before she starts coughing up blood. My hand is covered in her blood. I hold her as the life drains from her eyes. Suddenly it's Alex. I cry and start telling her that I'm sorry, but it's too late. Every time that I look at the face, it's a different person. It's going back and forth like it was before, but slower this time. It's always someone that I love.

I look up at the sky and scream. I knew that I was going to be just like Reign. This is what I was afraid of.

"I'm so sorry,"I cry. Suddenly the body sits up. It's James right now. 

"Wake up Kara,"he says, turning into my mother. "Wake up."

I sit up gasping. Mon-El is shaking me, telling me that it's okay. It's not though. I stabbed someone. I know that I didn't kill her, but she was pretty close to dying. I have to do the same thing to Reign and it will be so much riskier for her. We won't have the advantage of being in the DEO like we were with Julia. I lay back down, tears running down my face. Mon-El keeps telling me that it was just a nightmare, but he's wrong. I almost killed someone. I wish it was just in my dream, but it wasn't. Now, I have to live with that. I don't know how, but I will.
