No, no, no! I said, leave me alone! I HATE IT HERE!

I woke up in cold sweat, holding my head and screaming like there was no tomorrow, as small locks of my red hair hung over my pale face.

My parents came rushing in my tent, my mother holding a small lit up candle. They both looked at me, worried look spread across both of their faces.

"What happened Katie, are you okay? We heard you scream." - my father asked, walking up to me and sitting on the edge of my bed as my mother stood a bit further away, the candle still in her hand.

"Oh, I just... Had a nightmare. Nothing special, really. I'm fine." - I answered, looking up at him with my bright yellow eyes.

"Are you sure?"

...

"Yes, father. I'm sure."

They both looked at eachother.

"Okay, if you say so. Just remember to get enough sleep, all right?
You have a big show tomorrow!" - my mother said, smiling. My father got up and they both walked out of my tent, whispering something to eachother.

I layed back down on my bed, turning away from the tent door and covering myself over the head with my old, many times sewn back together, blanket.

"I have to escape this place, these nightmares are getting ridiculous.
...
I'm not going to suffer anymore." - I whispered to myself, closing my eyes.

"I might as well make them suffer too."

I stopped talking and decided to go back to sleep. After all, I have a big show tomorrow.
