Its all black, I can see stars at the distance, I feel like floating...Did I fainted? I feel like I did after that punch, after that horrible asphyxia burning my throat.

"Wake up sweetheart..." A soft voice rumbles in my ear.

I open my eyes.

"M-mother?" I say perplexed.

"Let me wipe those tears" She drys my face with a nose rag.

She is sitting in the corner of my bed.

"You were having a nightmare dear..." I sit touching my forehead in total disbelief, she hugs me.

"Its okay...I'm here." She says softly touching my frizzy hair while tears shed down my jaw, I just can't believe she is here...my mother is with me.

"I'm here" She states again.

----------

I'm sitting in the table. My mother is cooking an omelette and some rice, this is my home it feels cozy but, it also feels very odd.

I look at my hands, they are small with a light rosy tone over the knuckles. I'm a kid again...but how? Why?

When I woke up, the feel was relieving and it all felt so real but now, I don't feel like this is real anymore. Honestly I never felt it was but, I was trying to protect myself from the reality, like I always do.

"Here you go my love, I hope this makes you feel better." She puts the plate in front of me, then she sits in a chair.

"Now...tell me what your nightmare was about swee-"

Someone knocks interrupting my mother.

She stands with a troubled face and walks to the door, I can hear how she opens it. My ears sharp to listen to the conversation...something wasn't right, I felt a lump in my throat.

I hear my mother talking, I stand and walk closer to hear what's going on.

"C-cyrus...what are you doing here so early?" 

"I only came to give you your last payment..." A man voice responds.

"Why today? we are half month...you told me th-"

"Ivan can not wait any longer..We are leaving tomorrow at early morning so...take it, I'll come for her at night."

I peek from behind the curtains and see a tall guy with an elegant suit, with pale skin and gloves...he was handing my mother a tiny box.

"You said you'll stay till the end of the month! That was not the dea-"

My eyes open widely and my eyebrows frown, drawing an angry expression on me as I see the men slapping my mother on the face.

"You gave the offer Edith, now that the process is already started you have no right to regret the decision you have made."

My mother starts to cry rubbing her hand on her cheek, he just walks away without saying another word. I dash to my chair as I see her walking inside the house again.

She stays standing shaking and with a hand in her forehead, she turns to see me and walks desperately to give me a hug.

"I'm so sorry..." She sobs while she squeezes my body.

I am frozen.

She continues apologizing...

"Mother..." I say.
