The therapist just looked at Evie in shock as she didn't know how to respond. She honestly didn't know why Evie was suddenly unable to stop seeing her memories.
"I don't know why that's happening. It shouldn't be," the therapist told Evie who just sighed as she didn't know whether to believe her or not.
"Well it's been happening and it just started when I started going here," Evie told the therapist who just nodded as she looked at her.
"Hmm I don't know why that would happen, but perhaps you unlocked these hidden memories from your brain and now that they've been unlocked you're seeing them again," the therapist told Evie who just groaned as she figured that was probably true.
"So I'm stuck like this now!" Evie asked as she began to panic. This was torture she couldn't go the rest of her life having to relive all her horrible and traumatic memories.
"I can't say for sure but I'm sure once we're done with this whole thing your memories should stop replaying," the therapist told Evie as she was feeling horrible.
She had only seen a few of Evie's childhood and she already could tell just from that how traumatizing it must be to have to see those memories everyday. She hadn't meant to do this to Evie; she was just trying to help unlock why Evie was feeling the way she did.
"You better be right!" Evie told the therapist as she just looked down and played with the necklace that Mal had made for her for Mother's Day as she wanted to show how much she loved her.
The others all had matching ones as well that Mal had made for all of them. It was the one thing really keeping Evie going at this point. The therapist noticed Evie playing with the necklace as she pointed to it.
"You seem very interested in that necklace. Is it something special?" the therapist asked Evie hoping to make more of a breakthrough. Evie just sighed as she held back her tears and nodded. "Yeah um Mal actually made it for me for Mother's Day it's her tiny finger prints that make a heart. I pretty much never take it off. It's really the only thing I have left of her right now," Evie told the therapist as she started crying again.
"Would you like to talk more about it?" The therapist asked the blue haired girl just hoping to get Evie to open up more as she was getting some of the story but she couldn't seem to get Evie to really talk much other than that.
Evie just looked at the necklace again as she shook her head no. "I see well we should probably look at some more memories. What do you say?" The therapist asked Evie who just closed her eyes and slowly nodded as she really didn't want to do that but she knew she didn't really have a choice at this point.
"Okay well I'll take it. Do you want to talk about that other necklace first though. I've noticed you seem to be trying to hide it," the therapist told Evie who just looked down as her eyes landed on the necklace that was in her shirt.
"No it's fine let's just start with the memories again," Evie told the therapist as she didn't feel like talking about this necklace either. It was special from her childhood and she didn't think she needed to talk about it with some stranger.
"Okay whenever you're ready," the therapist told Evie who nodded as she made another screen appear. Evie just took a deep breath as she watched the screen turn on as an image started to play. Evie wasn't ready for this but it was too late now.
*On the screen*
"Fin you!" The blue haired toddler squealed out excitedly making Sara laugh as she had been playing hide and seek with her baby sister. It had been almost 3 years since Evie had been born and so far things had been pretty rough for the blue haired tot.
She was still being forced to wear makeup, do chores, and even worse now that she was getting older she was forced to try and flirt with the boys despite only being about 3 years old.
But despite all that Sara was still keeping with her promise to protect and look after her baby sister. "Oh no you found me," Sara told the toddler in her pretend upset voice making the small girl start giggling as she looked at the older girl.
Their playful game of hide and seek didn't last long though as The Evil Queen finally woke up for the day. As soon as Evie heard her mom wake up she immediately stopped giggling as she put on a stern and poise face. Sara had to hold back her urge to just beat her mom up seeing what she was doing to the blue haired toddler.
"Oh no! Mommy up! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!" Evie cried out as she quickly ran to her vanity and started trying to apply the makeup before she got punished, but it wasn't working as it just came out bad.
"NOOO! I can't do it! I can't! NOOOO! Ba Ebie! Ba Ebie! Do bewow!" The small girl screamed out as she continued to try and put the makeup on and failed causing her to start throwing a tantrum as she didn't like failing and didn't want another owie.
"Evie it's okay. Take deep breaths, it's okay. Here let me help you," Sara told her sister in her gentle voice trying to calm her down as she hated seeing Evie so panicked like that especially over something she was way too young for.
"No! Mommy gonna ge ma! I no wan a owie! I no wan!" Evie cried out as she refused to let Sara help her and she continued to fail at putting the makeup on, making her start screaming at herself again and scaring Sara.
"Evie, please just let me help you. She's not here. She went to get herself ready first. She'll never know. Please I don't like to see you hurting like that," Sara told the toddler who just kept crying as she didn't want to get hurt, but she just couldn't do it.
"I gib up!" Evie cried out as she got down and ran to Sara who held her arms out and just quickly pulled her sister close to her and just held her till she was calm. Once Sara was sure Evie was calm she just picked her up and helped her apply the makeup on the right way making Evie smile as she saw how well the make up looked.
"Alright it's inspection time! You better have done this the right way or so help me I'll," The Evil Queen began but stopped when she saw Evie with her perfect makeup on for once and she actually looked well dressed.
Evie just held her breath as she stood up and let her mom do her princess inspection that she did everyday. If Evie passed she would get to be free for the day and not be punished, but if she failed she would get severely punished and wouldn't get to do anything but princess lessons.
Evie had actually failed almost all her inspections making her terrified every time. "Hmm you're getting a little fat we'll need to work on that," The Evil Queen told Evie who just nodded as she held back her urges to cry as princesses didn't cry and this would be over soon.
"Do I pass?" The three year old asked fearfully, making her mom look at her a little longer. "Fine you pass for now, but we will be working on that weight of yours! And you will have some new lessons coming up soon. I just have to get them set up first. For now you're free," The Evil Queen told Evie causing the little girl to almost jump for joy before she remembered that she could get in trouble for that as she just left her room and went to Sara's as Sara was never allowed in during her inspections.
"Sawa! I dib id! I passed!" Evie exclaimed excitedly as she ran to Sara's room and climbed up on her bed making Sara give the small girl a fake smile. She was happy that Evie wasn't going to be punished, but she hated that Evie was forced to do this at all.
"That's good Evie! Congrats!" Sara told the small girl who smiled and nodded as she was so excited. "Yeah! Ooh ca we go pway now!" Evie asked the older girl as this was the first time since she was able to walk that she had actually passed a princess inspection and could go out.
"I would love to play Evie, but I actually have a lot of work to do. I was just about to go now. You can come with me though I have somewhere that you will love to go. You'll get to play with other kids and make friends and then after that when I'm done we can play," Sara told her sister as Sara was basically like the doctor of the Isle due to the lessons she was forced to take when she was younger.
Instead of using them to help her get a prince she used them to help people deliver babies and to help people who were injured or sick. It was one of the many reasons her mom hated her.
Sara was just secretly hoping that Evie would follow after her and use these lessons for good as well. Evie just smiled as she looked at Sara. "Otay I go wif!" The three year old told Sara who smiled as she picked her up.
"Okay good come on let's go," The young girl told her baby sister as she grabbed some of her supplies and left with Evie as she knew that even if she was busy at least she could still get Evie out of the house and into safety.
"Yay!" Evie squealed out as she just clung to Sara and they left the house with Sara still trying to protect Evie the best she could as the Isle was still dangerous.
Luckily a few of the older kids and young adults had all come together to create as safe of a place as possible to protect the innocence of the younger kids. It was a secret daycare that only the kids that started it and the babies and their parents or whoever was in charge of them knew about.
Sara knew it was safe and Evie would be okay there as she and her friends were the ones that ran the daycare. "Okay Evie here we are," Sara told the blue haired tot who just looked around in confusion as she didn't see anything except a sewer drain.
"Ew! Sawa da Yucky!" Evie told the older girl, making her laugh as she went to the sewer drain and did the secret knock, causing it to open up leaving the toddler in shock as she looked down and saw the secret day care.
"Still Yucky?" Sara playfully asked the little girl who shook her head no as she was still in awe of it all.
*Screen pauses*
"Well um that first part was horrible but this next part doesn't seem too bad," the therapist told Evie who just scoffed as she looked at the paused screen.
"Oh things are about to get really bad," Evie told the therapist who just looked at her in shock as she didn't see how that was possible. "But you're going to a safe place. How could things get bad?" The therapist asked Evie who just closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "You'll see," Evie told the therapist as she just hit play and let the memory continue.
