Sodina’s dreams worried her. They were filled with nightmares that made her want to wake from her sleep. All her worries and problems came together in the dream. Tony, school, her mother, and now the new face that flashed by; Damon. Who was this person? and what was this information that he passed along to her that she couldn’t understand and Maxiumus made no attempt to explain to her?
(When was the last time I was in peace?) Sodina wondered in her dream if that was possible.
A year ago maybe?
(No, that when Mom started drinking becasue two years before that, Dad was caught with another woman in their marriage bed. A year after that, the summer before I was to begin my last year of high school once Dad divorced mom, she lost my baby bother that was on the way and lost all hope of normal life.)
So Sodina though back feather, images flashing in her head. Maybe it was years before she was a teenage.
(But the only thing I remember back then was the fussing and fighting all the time. surprising that I came up the way I did and not fight myself. Forever moving from here to there. Never staied in one place too long because of moving all the time. Never had anytime to make any long life friends. Might explain why I don’t have any friends. Am I all that bad of a person?)
A memories flash in Sodina mind and she realized that there was a time when she was happy.
(Tony. He was the one that made me smile and laugh the way I did. I felt so very lonely. But when he came along, everything….changed. I was in love for the first time in my life. I gave my all to him. And would give more if given the chance. He knew that. He was my shoulder to cry on in times of needs. He kissed away all my worries and doubts in life. School was getting better. Mom was seeking help. Dad second wife was dervioceing him, exlacty what he derived. But then Tony dropped me. Why didn’t I remember that as a happy time? Oh, because everything turned out a lie. And you can’t go back and look on happy memories when they all turn out to be lies. It hurts even more and makes you not want to think about it.)
Sodina eyes tiwced when she felt a cool hand on her head. Soft and lightly warmed. She opened he eyes to look up, her vision still blurred but could make out an face over her.
-“Maxiumus. Where are we? Did I fall asleep?” Sodina asked turning her head to the side trying to make her eyes force.
-“I’m sorry, but I am not Maxiumus.”
Sodina turned her head sharply to look up into the face of Damon. She went to jump up, only to be forced back down on the bed by the chains that were concented to the head of the bed.
-“What is this!!!?? Where the hell am I!? Where is Maxiumus!!?” Sodina screamed while trying to get back up.
Damon loomed over her, his hand creased one side of her cheek.
-“Well, while you were sleeping, you and Maxiumus was in a terrible, why awful wreck that claimed his life and not yours, you were lucky however. Not a screah nor scar on you.”
-“You lie!!!” Sodina screamed. “Where is Maxiumus!? I want to see him now!!”
-“I think you need to be more worried about yourself right now and not him.” Damon said as he leaded forward towards Sodina.
