"Where am I?" Caitlin mumbled
She was in a field, surrounded by shadows
"Run Caitlin run, hurry. Save yourself'"
Caitlin looked around, there was nobody else there, so who was it? Where was the voice coming from? She didn't have much time to think as the shadows changed into figures. Caitlin took off running, as they gave chase. She hid, and looked around for something to use. She stood up
"Ok guys, I'm tired of running. You want to hurt me, take your best shot"
Caitlin quickly disposed of them
"I forgot to mention my dad has been training me with a different teacher every year since I was little, so I kinda know what I am doing"
"Well done Caitlin, I knew that you could do it"
Caitlin spun around. There was nobody else there
"Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?"
"All in good time. First you need to remember"
"Remember what?"
"Us"
Caitlin woke up. She looked around. Her parents were sitting next to her, with anxious looks on their faces
"Oh, thank goodness that you are ok. What happened?"
"I don't know. I was sparring and then I heard the music. It just seemed familiar and I begun having flashes"
"Of what?"
"I dont know mum. Mum, I'm scared. What's happening to me?"
Carla embraced her daughter as Caitlin wept in her arms. She didn't know what to do or say. She wanted to comfort her daughter, but how could she? She was forbidden from telling her anything. Once again, Carla cursed her life
Barry was lying on his bed, staring at the wall, when his door opened and his mum walked in
"What do you want mum?"
"Don't talk to me like that"
"Really? After what you did?"
"Barry, we made that decision to save your life. I won't apologise for that"
"What? By costing me another part of my life?"
"When you become a parent you'll understand"
"No mum. I don't ever think that I could ever understand what you did"
"Barry, when you're child's life is threatened, you'll do anything to save them. That's what we did"
"You might have saved me, but you killed me too. How am I supposed to live without her?"
"Don't be so dramatic. You'll survive as your surviving now"
"Surviving. Not living. Just existing"
"Your going to have to learn to live with it" said Nora exiting the room
Barry screamed. What had they done?
Caitlin felt like she was going mad. No one was telling her anything. And what were these flashes? What did they mean? She realised she was having some at night, and mostly when she was listening to the music.
Caitlin realised that she would have to help herself, as no one else was. Sometimes when she looked at her mum, she felt she knew everything and wanted to tell her, but she wouldn't say anything. Caitlin quickly ran into her room, and put the music on. She closed her eyes and the flashes began. She quickly wrote down everything she could remember, as she woke up. One thing was for certain: she would get to the bottom of everything, even if nobody helped her
Caitlin had collected quite a few pieces of paper as the days went on. She decided to confront her mum, as she was certain her mum knew something, but for whatever reason, she was hiding the truth. Caitlin made sure that the coast was clear, before she went in
"Mum"
"Hello darling"
"Tell me"
"Tell you what?"
"Whatever it is about my past that your hiding from me"
"Don't be ridiculous. Why would I hide anything from you?"
"Because you are mum. I know you are. I can see it in your face, that you want to tell me. But for some reason you won't"
"Don't be ridiculous"
"Please mum, tell me. I'm going mad with these flashes. What did I do in my past, that was so wrong that you can't tell me?"
"Let's go for a drive"
Caitlin was confused. Why had her mum brought her out here?
"I want to help you, but I can't"
"Why?"
"Your dad"
"Dad?"
"He wasn't happy with the choices you made. So when you got hurt, he saw it as a blessing"
"He was happy that I'd got hurt?"
"No. But now you've lost your memory, he sees it as a chance to redo everything and mould you into something he wants"
"But why? What did I do?"
"You broke the rules"
Duff duff duff. So her mums helping her. Will she tell her everything? As always, feedback appreciated
