25 - Fuck A Fake Smile

Ariana was trying to sleep, but the feeling that she's living with Ava Clairfayr was hunting her. When she finally fell asleep, her dreams turned upside down. This dream felt so real. More like a memory.
Ariana was in an old house. Ava was there too, she was with a little girl.
"Taylor, sweetie! We need to go! We're gonna be late!" Shouted Ava.
"I'm coming mom!"
While Ariana was watching the memory someone grabbed her and and she woke up in another one. This one looked recent. Taylor and Ava were fighting.
"I'm not going to kill some girl because, you are too busy! I'm not an assassin and nor your weapon!" Shouted Taylor.
"But this girl has done some terrible things to us dear! Her parents killed your little brother! My son! Think Taylor! You're seeking for revenge since ever! This is your change!" Said Ava.
"No." Said Taylor giving her mom back her knife.
"Fine! I'll do it myself, but I'm warning you! The girls sister is going down first!" Said Ava playing with the knife.
Taylor stopped. She turned her back at her mother and asked one single question before she would leave the room.
"Is this girl Nala? Nala Butera?" Asked Taylor with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, and she now has a new identity. Annabeth or Annabelle or something."
"Can you at least make her pay? Can you make her feel pain? Depression? Frustration? Can you make her feel what I felt?" Asked Taylor.
"You can do it if you want. Do it yourself." Said Ava giving the knife back to Taylor.
Ariana got in another memory now. Everything was dark.
"Did you do it?" Asked someone in the dark.
"Yes." Said Ava.
"And? What happened?"
"Nothing. If I can't corrupt Taylor, I will corrupt Ariana."
"Do you think they'll find out?"
"Soon enough. It will be less painful if they won't, so..." Said Ava with a smile on her face.
"Oh Ava, you're so naive! The girl won't surrender! You need to make her weak!...why don't you give her away? Erase her memories?" Asked the shadow.
"I can't do that!" Cried Ava.
"Then I will."
In the last memory, who was actually a vision from the future, Ariana was fighting with Taylor and they were both covered in blood. Ariana watched how Taylor stabbed her with the knife. Then she woke up.
"Oh my god" Said Ariana holding her head.
Ariana got up and tried to open the door from her bedroom very slowly. She was trying to reach the girls bedroom.
"Ariana?" Said Ava.
Ariana turned at Ava with a shocked expression on her face.
"What are you doing here? It's almost 4 in the morning." Said Ava.
Ariana couldn't tell her why she's up. She couldn't tell her she saw how's she'll die. She couldn't tell Ava she's going to see the girls. So the first lie that came to her head was...
"I walk in me sleep...Yea....I walk in my sleep..."
Ava didn't looked very convinced by Ariana's lie, but she had an "okay" expression on her face and went back in her bedroom. Ariana was now alone in the hallway. The hallway looked infinite and she forgot where the girls bedroom is. She felt like drowning in her thoughts. She couldn't handle the fact that she knew how she is gonna did. She could prevent her death. She could kill Taylor. All these feelings were making her sick. So she fell unconscious on the floor. She fell knowing she will die.
