Broken: A Maksyl fanfiction

Chapter 4

Meryl

I watch The Lion King over and over.

Again and again.

Over and over.

I watch it until I about memorized it and then suddenly, I feel a

PANG!

in my chest and the lights go out.

-

I dream that I am standing in a bedroom.

There is dream catchers hanging everywhere.

Of all sizes and shapes.

EVERYWHERE.

Sitting in the corner is a crib.

Something pulls me to the crib and I bend down and look inside.

Inside the crib is blood.

Blood.

Blood covered mattress.

Blood covered sheets.

I scream and fall backwards on my butt.

Suddenly there is screaming all around me.

And not screaming from me this time.

Baby screaming.

I can't see them, but they're everywhere.

Blood starts seeping out of the crib and all around me.

"I made a mistake!" I cry and try to move.

But I'm stuck.

-

I wake up screaming and thrashing.

I am shaking and sweating.

I get up and poor cold water on my face.

Washing away my tear streaked skin.

-

I take a deep breathe and look into the mirror.

I'm letting go.

Moving on.

This is the new me.

New skin is going to surface.
