Ming's POV

P'Kit can I just tell you about this nightmare and nothing else for now?" I asked in a quiet and scared voice. I don't really think I can explained anything else especially after the threat they made.
"You can tell me what ever you want Ming. I won't press for any more information than what you want to say. You can tell me everything only when you are comfortable to and want to tell me. Although I would like you to tell me what caused the panic attack earlier so I know how to help you if I ever see any of them" Kit replied and I thought about how lucky I was to have someone who will wait for me rather than press me to answer everything immediately. It was rather obvious that Kit really wanted to know but he stopped himself from asking because he knew I wouldn't be comfortable.
What have I done to deserve him
I'm not ready to tell him everything but I think I can manage to tell him what the nightmare was about. It would be a good start to tell him.
"Metal chains" I said in a voice so weak and frightened there was no chance Kit heard it. The idea that Kit didn't hear what I said was confirmed when he asked me to repeat it.
"What was that Ming I can't hear you?" He asked and I braved myself to speak a little louder. I'm terrified that once I bare my heart to Kit and let him completely in he'll leave me because of my past. Before I answered again I decided to trust in Kit, he's never let me down before.
"Metal chains" I said in a louder voice enough for Kit to be able hear " the ghost had metal chains tied around his left leg and I could see them" I finished before looking back up into Kit's eyes to observe his reaction. I could confusion and then a sort of realisation swirl around his eyes. He was definitely thinking through possible situation to why but at the moment I don't have the mental strength to tell.
"Ok" was all he answered a few moments later. I could also see him preparing himself mentally before asking the next question
"Are you okay to tell about the nightmare now?" He asked in an unsure voice
I swallowed roughly and rubbed my hands together as they began to get a bit sweaty.

Flashback-(Ming's POV) ( Ming is 7 years old)
I walked into one of my family associated malls at 7 o'clock in the evening. I needed to pick out a birthday present for my mum and Yo since their birthdays and in 2 and 3 days time. It was going to be Yo's 7th birthday so I wanted to get something special for him since he got me my favourite action figure for my 7th birthday which was only a few months prior I specifically chose a later time so not many people would be around and most of the shops shifts would be done so there would less people who know who I am and would bother me. That's the problem in shopping in a mall owned by your own family everyone knows who you are and tries to get into your graces for their own profit. I had just walked into a music shop on the 2nd floor of the mall to pick out a new classical music cd for my mum since she loves to listen to classical music. She says it's relaxing and brings peace to her otherwise fast-paced, exciting days. I had just picked out the perfect CD for my mum when the building started to shake uncontrollably. The glass shattered and all I could here was the screams and hurried steps of people rushing towards the stairs. The last thing I saw before I lost consciousness was the ceiling come crashing down on top of me sending me smashing through the floor.

I don't know how much time passed when I finally woke up again but I was still stuck underneath 2 large sheets of concrete propped up in a triangle shake restricting my movement but also protecting me from other sheets crushing me. I could feel great pain within my body especially around my head,arms and legs. I could see the glass embedding it's self within my legs through the little gaps in the concrete as well as the trails to dried blood rushing down the side of my head.
"Someone help me"
"Someone help please" I screamed at the top of my lungs
"I'm scared" I cried only to be meet with an engulfing silence
"Help"
"Help please I'm stuck in here" I continued screaming until my voice no-longer held any more power. Not once did I here any sort of reply
"I'm stuck here all alone" I said to myself
"I want my mum and dad" I said out loud hoping someone, anyone could here me
And at the lack of a reply and just a continued slight shake of the building, I panicked. The feeling of being trapped with no escape made my breathing become heavy and eventually very quick almost like I was getting nothing in my lungs anymore. I stayed like that for a few minutes before the panic subsided and I just looked soullessly into the distance staring at every different piece of concrete in my view.
I don't know how long I had stayed trapped for, every moment seemed like an eternity of suffering as I began to get dizzy. Most likely due to the blood that is still leaking out of my every wound.
"Am I gonna die?" I asked myself
"I don't want to die!" I cried feeling helpless.
"Please I don't want to die!" I continued crying. The tears were streaming down my face and dripping down on the the floor below me since I was lying on my back facing upwards.
I continued crying until I could hear the concrete on my left hand side being moved fearing another earthquake I brought my hands up to cover my head and braced my self for impact
"How could I be this unlucky" I thought to myself watching the shaking wall collapsed inwards and someone's voice reach my ears
"Hello can anybody hear me?" The man that entered shouted
"Help me please I'm right here!" I screamed out ignoring the pain in my throat from the overuse of my voice
"There's a survivor here" I could here the man say as he approached me
"It's okay Kid. It's okay. We're going to get you out of here" he exclaimed and I relaxed
"I'm safe. I'm safe. I'm not going to die!" I told myself and at that moment let myself be engulfed by the pain my body felt and fell into darkness once again. This time feeling safe. The last thing I heard from the man was "Kid? Kid stay awake!"

When I woke up again I had forgotten everything about the incident. They said it was PTSD and dissociative amnesia, where my brain had rejected any thoughts, feelings or information related to the incident since I couldn't handle it.
Flashback ended

A/N: I am trying to update this story however Wattpad isn't allowing me to publish anything at the moment
What do you think of the first part of Ming's past. This was when he was 7 and the kidnapping is when he was 10 but something links these 2 incidents what could it be?
When does Ming get his memory back of these events do you think?
The next chapter should be some happy scenes
Thanks for reading
Hope you enjoyed
