Haunting Past
I jerked open my eyes due to the familiarity of the person's voice. It was her, in her usual long blank panel skirt matched with a red laced blowse staring at me like I made a grave sin and the heavens would curse me for it. I could sense what was coming up next and kneeled on my left leg and started to pick up the scattered pieces of the glassware I was suppose to carry to the sink. She rushed to me stomping her feet on the marbled floor and stood to my right. She pressed her foot on my right arm that was gathering the glass pieces. The glass piece that I was about to pick up poked my arm and it started bleeding. The piece was stuck to my palm. She took away her leg and I was shocked to see my blood ooze out.
'Is this how you behave, you filthy little trash' she said while pinching the helix (upper part) of my ear with force and pulling me up to my feet. My 7 year old self did noting to defend me but started sobbing. I followed holding my right palm close to my body and utte

It's scary here'.I flicker my eyes for a while to clear and adjust to the dim surrounding. I couldn't feel pain in my body except at my wrist and ankle.

'What is it?' Jessica asks me and punches her elbow into the right lower abdomen. A low cry escapes my lips as I bend forward due to the pain and she turns around immediately 'Are you okay, Laura? Shall I open my eyes?' she questions knitting her eyebrows and squeezing her eyes tightly closed. She looked funny with her long hair all messed up, her hands grabbing my left palm like a kid expecting a grand surprise and her legs in the ready-to-run gesture. I giggle at her and look around to examine the strange location we were in.I pull my hand out of hers and jerks she opens her eyes worried.'Look, we're safe. Stop acting like a kid, sis' I mock at her.She straightened her posture clearing her throat 'Who is the kid? Where are we anyway?' she tries to change the topic and succeeds.'A forest?''I see that.' staring at me 'Which forest?''Let's find out' I reply and turn around to get a clearer picture of the place.

The building resembled a basic mansion but definitely wasn't small. I stare in awe at the two storey building that Jessica introduces to me as 'Home''This family is rich?'

You little, why did you hit me and no matter where I went. What's your problem?' she asks while rubbing her spot with her palm. The stranger, eyes her doubtfully before turning to me"To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you, Ms...""Ms. Laura. Pleased to meet you too and I'm here to ..." I stumble to answer his weird question.

Jessica held my left palm trapped in her right arm like; if she left, it i'd run away. My mind was going dark and darker as milliseconds passed."Oh, my kids are home. Welcome shining stars" a voice comes from in as Miler walks into the house."Hey old man" he says and disappears from my sight after changing his shoes.Daniel takes a quick glance of me with a tiny smile and enters next "Welcome home homie".I push Jessica to get in next, she nods whispering "Sis, no matter what happens in there, remember you've got me." looking deep into my eyes.
