Ever since I spoke to Kate about losing a near and dear one Cecilia has been haunting my memories.  I've been missing her so so much.

Its been almost ten years since her death and its amazingly wierd how those memories still continue to haunt me and I still get those nightmares and panick attacks. Unfortunately I have no one to share them with, no one not even Kate has the faintest idea about my past the only one who is aware of my past is my old aunt Rosa.

After Cecilia's death she became my legal guardian cause I was just 14 at that time. Aunt Rosa has always loved me like a mother I had lost during my early years and she was very fond of me and Cecilia. After Cecilia's death aunt Rosa had made me promise that somehow or the other I must avenge her death. The murderer should be punished. The pain she felt when he brutally murdered her... he should feel double the amount of pain. I as a child had promised all that she made me promise but now as a grown up professional shrink I realised that poor woman had lost her brain after my sister's death. Cecilia was very close to aunt Rosa, much closer than me. When my mum was alive I remember she used to take us to aunt Rosa's house and Aunt Rosa who was a spinster used to tell my mom that Cecilia was her daughter and my mum had never objected her decision. My mum was a bit of a hard, emotion less woman who had suffered a lot and being a part of the army made her even more emotionless so the fact that her spinster sister wanted to claim her elder daughter as her own hardly bothered her, she'd always taught me and Cecilia to be together no matter what happens, she always told us that if something should happen to her then we both must stick together and try to save each other with our own lives. Her favourite saying was 'blood is thicker than water' . Military style!

She had taught us to be emotionless like her and even if I could acquire her this talent Cecilia was totally opposite to what me and my mum were.

She was a big bundle of emotions (no wonder just like Aunt Rosa who needed just a small poke to show her surplus emotions) she had always imagined her life to be a fairy tale just like Cindrella's, she had imagined her prince Charming coming on horse back and taking her to his palace and making her his queen and blah blah. But when this fucking bastard of a boyfriend whom she considered to be her prince Charming came things turned topsy turvy. By that time mum who was a commander of the women's forces had died trying to save her troupe like the true hero that she was and it was no wonder that I didnt shed a single tear I had surprisingly learned to control my emotions at a tender age thanks to my mom and to be honest I had never been close to ny mum so I saw no point in crying my eyes out.

After mum's death Cecilia went haywire with no one to control her she started doing whatever she felt like.

Aunt Rosa ofcourse made no efforts to control her, she had this soft corner towards her and Cecilia used to give her those huge puppy eyes which made her go even more softer on her.

This continued for quite some time before Cecilia and her boyfriend Ed I guess she used to call her although he had some other actual name decided to get married. 

Now Aunt Rosa although extremely fond of Cecilia kicked up a huge fuss about this marriage (although she never complained when they were dating) she even forced Cecilia to stay at home so that she wont be able to see him she even went ahead and fixed her marriage with a good and rich lawyer or something though he was pretty much older than Cecilia by quite a few years who was just 21 at that time. But Cecilia was adamant to marry Ed or whatever the fuck he was called.

So she took the foolishest decision and ran away. On the day before her wedding night she escaped through the window and ran away. Ran away with none other than the fucking murderer whom she loved and wanted to marry.
