Breaking Out

"It wasn't a dream was it?" I can feel Cain's fingers drawing soothing circles in my back, trying to get me to calm down.
Something in his voice holds that stable assurance. I had never really been one to trust people, but I trusted Cain, I cared about him, and remembering our fight last night, I had to give him some hope that I was going to open up.
Staring strictly at the chandelier over the bed, I give him the most honest answer I can muster in the moment, "No, it was a memory."

Everyone has a story, a past, skeletons buried in their closet.
Anna has hers and she would prefer to leave them buried.
Keeping her secrets of her past is the only way that she knows how to protect the people she loves, even if it means pushing them away.
She already managed to break free once, can she do it again to save Cain?
