It had been months since she last had a nightmare. And just like all the others, this one was terrifying.
Jumping out of bed, Red moved to her bathroom for a shower. Her heartbeat was loud like a drum and her body was filled with sweat.
"Had another nightmare? " her father asked when he saw her in the kitchen trying to make coffee. When she nodded he frowned.
"I told you last time to take yourself medicine on time but you never listen" he added.
"I do but it's like it's not working anymore, Monica says I need a vacation " Red let out.
Her father seemed to be thinking about the suggestion then sighed again. After a while, he nodded.
"Okay but let Monica go with you " he instructed.
She smiled "Thanks Dad, I need the break ".
Running up the stairs she called her sister with happiness.
Richard frowned as he watched her run up the stairs. At first by just wanted to see their mother's face one last time, but after he saw Rose smiling that day in the mall. Everything changed he wanted her for himself.
He felt guilty for taking her away from her family, his eldest grandson Arthur and the newborn twins. They must have yarned for her since they needed her the most.
Buy Richard knew that the only person he had hurt the most of them all was Arthur her husband.
She was now living a different life making him money and being a happy reminder for his long-dead wife.
They had searched high and low for her but being an expert in hiding, he had made sure that no matter who Arthur contacted they could not find him and Rose anywhere.
The medicine he had been giving her helped with erasing the memories he wanted going, making it easier for him to manipulate her. Now her puppet he made her a successful model and money-making machine for him. Thanks to Arthur for letting Rose get training for modelling she was so natural and beautiful that it took little time for them to market her and start making money.
Monica woke up to Red's shouting, " Can you get up and help me choose a place for my vacation?".
Monica looked up from her bed with angry eyes, she had never liked Rose but her father had forced her into acting. Rose had been brainwashed by her father. She had dyed her hair to red to match her new name and even her attitude sometimes changed.
Since Rose didn't remember anything she had tried her best to be her friend which sometimes made her feel bad for what they had done to her.
After a few days, Monica and Red drove to the airport. Monica left her to buy some snacks as they waited for their turn but almost collapsed when she noticed Red was missing.
"Dad....we have a problem" Monica cried to her father.
"What happened?" Richard shouted
Sh√√e fell silent before shooting, " Rose is gone "
