Haunted by the Past - Chapter 1
I don't remember much from that night. But all that is left still haunts me till this day.
(Flashback)
"Mamma!" tears stream down her face. "Please don't leave me."
"Look at you, all grown up. It seems like I have served my purpose, listen child. You are the saviour; if you want to honour me don't let me die in vain. Take back our freedom and give us …."The mother coughs up blood and in a moment it's feels like everything is over for Nina.
Her own pain blocks the cries and screams of her people. She thinks about running away, but what would her mother say, a thought comes in to mind triggering the hateful anger to burst out, her mother won't say anything because she's dead. She heads for the battle field.
(Back in the present)
That's all she can remember, Nina doesn't know what she did where her people went or was it her who drove them away.
A cool breeze blows on to her face refreshing her thoughts.
"We all have to move on at some point, some just take longer than others," says Gray.
"You startled me; you shouldn't sneak up on people like that!" shouted Nina
"Why are you out here anyway, the guys are waiting for you back inside?"
"I was just thinking maybe my heart will be at peace if I could find my people or at least know if it was me and…"
"And if it was then what, you forever remain sad or plunge into the darkness."
"No, I'm not that sensitive, I was thinking a memorial service but I like your second idea much better," she says sarcastically
"Yeah right, come on lets go tell the others!"
He holds her hand and her heart skips a beat. She wonders does he feel the same way for her as she does about him.
