I woke up with a start, confused and a little bit groggy. Sitting up, I had to stare blankly at the space in front of me to process everything. Unlike the other times when I dreamt of memories of the past, the dream last night remained clear in my head. It was neither hazy nor vague. Nor did I feel that something is amiss.
Helen's statement is still ringing in my mind. And just like she said, I was able to understand her now. Why she doesn't want Nadia to use her magic and why she said that the world is not a safe place for them. Because it truly isn't. Helen must have been fearing that Nadia would get into trouble.
And it happened. I am now being hunted down as she feared so.
I let out the first sigh for the day.
Also, I immediately wanted to apologize to Helen for breaking that promise.
'I'm sorry, mother…'
