Music and dancing colors of water surrounded her and "DO IT THEN, IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS!"
Jasmine woke up from the beautiful dream that had always returned to comfort her as long as she could remember. That last exclamation had not been part of the dream. She got up and tiptoed to her door being careful not to run into the altar she had set up beside her bed. She opened the door and went into the living room just in time to see the gun in her adopted father's hand go off and her adopted mother fall to the ground. She saw him turn the gun on himself and pull the trigger while her mind tried to comprehend the scene in front of her. She heard screaming and didn't realize it was in her mind. She fell to her knees and all she saw was a suffocating darkness and flashes from her life as if she were drowning in her most horrid memories.
Her sisters broken lifeless body and those of her parents surrounded by pools of blood the man with the blade coming towards her and then falling to the ground, a doctor's voice saying he died of a fatal stroke as if his mind shut down, the man in a dark robe whispering murderer, the orphanage, her adoption by the woman and man who looked like sharks, the woman saying we have been told you have an incredibly high IQ and are a talented young girl we are a prominent family and I believe you will make an excellent addition, the couple fighting later that night and every night after, the first day of class, the first day of church. Then back to the first image… MURDERER! You are evil. Give in. GIVE IN!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The scream was ripped from her very soul. Then it was as if she were rising up from beneath miles of dark treacherous sea. Jasmine slammed back into her own body to find herself looking into a pair of eyes that were identical to her own smoky green. Eyes she had seen often before in the dreams.
"Who are you?" she managed to ask.
"Relax Jasmine. I am going to put you to sleep until your mind recovers this most recent trauma. I'll put you back in your bed and you shall sleep without dreams until morning. Then I will answer as many of your questions as possible."
As Jasmine faded into sleep she felt a man lift her into strong and strangely familiar arms.
Jasmine woke slowly from the first restful sleep in a while. As she left the haze of sleep she heard voices
"Goddamnit Stanton I thought placing her somewhere else would protect her and I find out she's sufferng so much " the womans voice held sorrow.
"I know, Sweet One, but we are with her now and will be from now on"
Sweet One…. Where had she heard that endearment before?
She didn't sit up yet she feigned sleep while coming up with a plan carefull to maintain a seeming sleep in her mind.
Then in one swift movement she leapt out of bed and allowed her body to become a shadow.
