Whispers. There were so many whispers in the darkness. The sound was overwhelming and Mina almost wanted to scream, but she found she couldn’t. She was suddenly being shaken awake and a child's voice reached her ears. [color=lime]”Mina! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare again!”[/color] The familiar voice said and Mina’s eyes flew open as she gasped for air. Glancing around the room, she realized she was back in her room..no, not her room, or at least not the one she’d been familiar with for a long time. She was in her old bedroom in her mother’s house.

Mina quickly glanced over at the mirror and saw her four year old self staring back at her. Sitting on the bed beside her was a little boy dressed in an old suit that seemed to be falling apart a bit. Her head now turned to look at the figure next to her. [color=#758173]Elijah?”[/color] Her small voice sounded weak and tired and she rubbed her eyes some as if she didn’t believe her eyes. [color=lime]”Of course, silly! Who else would it be?”[/color] He said with a small giggle and then she was throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. He hugged her back, giggling again, but then his face became sad. [color=lime]”Mina, was it a bad nightmare?”[/color] He asked her and she thought about it for a minute, but shook her head some.

[color=#758173]”It wasn’t bad, but maybe we go climb in bed with Mommy anyways.”[/color] She said as she slowly pulled herself out of her bed and grabbed her stuffed rabbit. Bare feet padded on the floor as the small girl in a white nightgown walked down the moonlit halls. Before long, the pair were standing at the foot of her mother’s bed. [color=#758173]”Mommy?”[/color] She said as she poked her mother, waiting for Selina’s eyes to open. [color=#758173]”Mommy, can Eli and I sleep with you tonight? I had a bad dream.”[/color] She said as her mother sleepily looked at her, a moment of irritation crossing her features.

[color=lavender]”Mina, baby, we’ve been over this. You know Eli isn’t-”[/color] Selina began saying, but now Mina was irritated as she interrupted her mother. [color=#758173]”Yes he is, Mommy! He’s right here! Why do you keep saying he isn’t real?!”[/color] She stomped her foot angrily, endlessly frustrated with her mother. [color=lavender]”Mina…”[/color] She started again with a sigh, but this only escalated things more. [color=#758173]”No Mommy! Stop it! Stop saying he isn’t-”[/color] [color=lavender]”Mina stop! This needs to stop!”[/color] Mina jumped as her mother snapped at her and tears brimmed in her eyes. Immediately Selina regretted her outburst and her eyes softened as she looked at her daughter.

[color=lavender]”Oh Mina, I’m sorry baby. Come here, of course you can sleep with me.”[/color] She said as she reached for the little girl, picking her up, but Mina now noticed something. Her mother looked right at Elijah and that was fear in her eyes…

[hr]

Mina began to convulse in Leo’s arms for a moment and those around them began to gasp in panic while watching the scene. People began asking if they should call someone to help, but then Mina stilled. Almost as quickly as it happened it ended, but Mina was no longer breathing.

Darkness had once again consumed Mina’s consciousness and the whispers returned once more. She wanted it to stop…no, she NEEDED it to stop. Her head was pounding, but then she heard something within the whispers. Her name, someone was calling her name! She grabbed onto that sound, focusing on it and tried moving towards it. Slowly it got more and more clear, almost sounding like her mother calling to her. [color=lavender]”It’s time to wake up darling. You can’t give in yet, you’re stronger than I was. Come on Mina. Wake up. Mina.”[/color] Slowly the sound morphed into a different voice, that of a male.

[color=9AF781]“Mina?”[/color] Leo had said, but for a very long and concerning moment there was no response. Mina didn’t take a breath and people were beginning to ask if she were dead. Suddenly, Mina sucked in a gasp and her eyes flew open as she looked around wildly in a panic. Her eyes then found Leo’s and she felt tears sting her eyes as she began to realize she was back. [color=#758173]”Leo…”[/color] She choked out before throwing her arms around him in a hug as she trembled. [color=#758173]”I’m okay. I’m sorry. I’m okay.”[/color] She wasn’t sure if she was saying it to reassure him or herself, but she kept repeating it for a moment before she let go of the man. She slowly got herself up, brushing herself off as she glanced around.

[color=#758173]”Apologies for worrying anyone. I suppose the heat got to me or something.”[/color] Mina said with a small laugh, but she was still so pale. Her eyes fell on a man who seemed to be looking at the burning dead man now, finding him a little curious looking, but then her gaze moved on. There seemed to be more people around now, but something seemed off. Did that man have multiple stab wounds? And who would bring their newborn baby to something like this? Why were they still staring at her? Wait, was that…Elijah?
