I stepped carefully up to the front door. In my pockets were the bottles, sticks, and tiny shinys that couldn't make it onto my lift. I listened for a few moments. It was quiet. My parents must be asleep. Quietly as possible, I opened the door and went inside. My mother was sitting in her rocking chair by the electric fireplace, snoring softly. I snuck through the living room and headed up the stairs. To my right is my parent's bedroom, so I turned left to my room.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-where... 'choke'... haaaaavvvvvvve...'cough'... yooouuu…'burrp'... been?" A voice slurred. I froze in fear before slowly turning around. My father was walking down the hallway with an empty bottle. Quickly I took out the two bottles that I bought.
"Getting... more." I spoke in my weak voice. Father only huffed and grabbed the three bottles, dropping his empty one. I opened and closed the door to my room quickly before he could say anything else. He never bothers to come in.
My room is a mess. Clothes, shinys, and random garbage littered the ground and furniture. Clothes covered a piece with drawers, papers were in a basket, and my many shinys were everywhere. I have to watch where I step otherwise I would ruin my lovely shinys. I emptied my pockets on a table, then went to my window and hoisted my lift up. I finished the pizza and cake. I threw the trash out the window before hanging my coat up and crawling under the covers of my small bed and fell asleep.

I am running. My arms are out stretched and I am giggling. I ran through halls of shiny metal. I enter a room and I say something odd. I continue run until I am caught in the hands of a man, and I laugh as he throws me into the air.

*A blinding bright white light flashes*

I am waving. Waving goodbye to a figure disappearing into a bright light. I turn around to two figures opening their arms to me. And I joyously run to them with a giant smile on my face.

I am running, being chased by a man who catches me and tickles me. My laughter echoes. When was the last time I was that happy?

Red water covers me. My eyes widened at two red bodies lying on the grond. A pop sounded behind me. I looked up in fear as father fires a black toy. He smirks as you reaches for me...

I gasped awake. That dream again, the one I never remember completely but I always know that it is the same one. I have it every night. What was it? A memory? I sighed. If only I could remember everything about that dream, maybe I would know. I curled into a ball. Should I remember that horrible dream? I always see something bad. I shivered. It is so cruel. I began to cry. It's so cruel!
"Do you want to remember remember remember?" A playful voice spoke. I bolted out of bed.
"Who's there?" I demanded. I glanced around. Shadows made figures appear every where. I shivered.
"No one's here really really." The voice spoke again. I frantically looked around myself as I stood up from bed.
"Who said that?" I demanded. The voice ignored me.
"If you remember that nasty nasty dream, you could escape from this dirty dirty place." It continued. I froze. Escape... Such a beautiful word. No more worrying about what my father and mother would do to me, no more stealing just to make them happy.
"Course, it would take awhile. You need to be educated, strong, fast, and proud. Not to mention, I will have to give a little name. Until then..." Something touched the top of my chest and I gasped as something strong embraced me from behind.
"... I will not leave you. Promise to put your faith...no… your trust in me like a god and I shall grant you your big big wish." The being spoke from behind me. Tears began pouring from my eyes as I stood there.
Worship a god? I don't believe in any. The God my parents talk about never did anything to help me. To free me. I don't believe in my parents God, nor do I believe in any other God. But, this god, he is asking me to worship him, in return I'd be free. After suffering for so long, I'll be free. But, should I trust this god, why didn't he come for me sooner? Why does he want me to worship him? Is he even a god? But to be free...
"I am yours to command, my god." I spoke.
"Yay! Yay! Yay!" I heard some slapping sounds and something brushed my cheek and the embrace tightened.
"Now, every night from now on, you will make a sacrifice of warm goody food wrapped in a blanky. Tomorrow morning, you will know the alphabet, and the morning after that one, you will be able to read. Every night I shall give you a gift of, well, being smart, with a little bonus for your everyday life I think you would like. And when at long last you are unbound from this cruel world of humans, I will give you a name. A goody good name." My god spoke. I smiled at the thought of being able to read.
"Thank you, my lord." I spoke. The embrace tightened uncomfortably.
"When you refer to me, call me 'my god', not my lord. I do not rule over you. You are you. As for the weirdy weird dream you keep having,don't avoid it, embrace it." He spoke. My eyes opened wide.
"My god, how do you..."
"I have seen your dream. You are righty right right! It is not a dream, not even a nasty nasty nasty nightmare, but a memory." He spoke. I tilted my head towards him.
"A memory?"
"Yes, one that you have lost. Remember it, every single detail of the losty lost memory, and then you will be free!" My god explained kindly. The embrace lightened then disappeared. I turned around, looking for him. Nothing. I smiled at the new hope he has given me.
"I understand and I obey." I spoke with my whole heart.
I will be free, no matter the cost. I suffered for who knows how long because of them. Because of them. Because of them! BECAUSE OF THEM! I will be free, no matter the cost. Even if it means reliving that horrible dream over and over again.

A.N. Can u guys help make the God sound ridiculous? Like a certain alien. Not saying for spoilers, but a million bucks to the one who guesses who the God is. (Just an expression :})
