"Please… Do not hurt my daddy‼ Leave hum alone!"

..

"Let go of my daddy, you monster!"

..

"I beg you to return him back.. Daddy‼ Daddy‼"

..

"Daddy is hurt! Stop it!"

..

"He is suffering‼ Give me my father back!"

A faint image of a young girl screaming and calling to her dad had showed up, her features were blurry and dark that her face could not be seen obviously, but she only appeared to be mad with fear.. She looked frightened to the bones when her body lost its color to turn yellowish and pale, her frail legs could hold her body no more so she fell from her weight, her voice faded away as she screamed at the monster approaching her father and her heart raced insanely that she could not hold the pain anymore..

However, the whole scene was not clear, the girl's identity was not visible as she had no face, in addition to not seeing the father, but it was known that he was attacked by a creature and the girl was struggling to save him. The man was looking at his daughter and yelling loudly asking her to escape before the creature would catch her too.

"Run away, my daughter!" screamed the father with a painful voice "Run away from here, escape and leave me here, do not look back just run‼"

"No.. No.. No.. No.. I can not leave you here.. No way this ig going to be happening! I can not leave father suffer!"

"You can not help me either! Run away‼ Go away! Daddy hates you! Daddy does not want to see you! Daddy is annoyed by you! Leave daddy alone! Go! Go‼"

"But I love daddy… Daddy is lying.. Daddy loves me so much.. Daddy is dying.. I.. I can not accept this.. I want daddy back.. Leave him, creature!!"

"No, I am not lying! Go away! I do not want to see you anymore, you are an annoying brat, you are a nuisance, a naughty daughter and a pain in my life! I do not want to see you anymore, leave me, please!"

"Daddy.. Please come with me.."

..

"Daddy.. Let me stay with you.."

..

"Daddy.. I want you to be with us.. Mommy is waiting for you.. I want you.."

..

"Daddy.. Do not die here!"

..

"Daddy.. Daddy.. Daddy‼"

..

"Daddy!"

..

"Daddy.."

..

"Daddy.. Daddy.. Daddy.."

"Daddy.. Daddy.. Daddy.."

"Daddy.. Daddy.. Daddy.."

Emina's heart was throbbing loudly in her ears, as a bomb exploding quickly beating, blocking out all other sounds, her hands were shaking in an odd trembling rhythm as they become uncontrollable, her bones turned to jelly or water as she could not move them anymore and her breath quickened and accelerated even if she used every muscle in her body to stifle a whimper..

"Emina.. Emina.." a voice called her several times..

"Daddy.." she murmured but her words were silence as they were muted with horror. She could not move nor raise her head, fear paralyzed her when the sudden shock made her tense her muscles.

"Emina.. Emina.." the voice kept calling, she did not knew who it was nor could see anything but darkness, while shadows and echoes played on her senses to show her odd and abnormal shapes and sounds..

"Emina.. Emina‼ Wake up! I am here with you!" finally Emina's consciousness returned to her, she looked for a moment at the one calling for her, it was Thomas. She looked at him with eyes wide open showing a lot of the sclera and dilated pupils for a couple seconds, her stomach churned, her eyes closed. She wanted to be suddenly small and to crawl into someone's lap, so she rushed into his chest and hugged him tightly and snugly.

"Calm down.. Calm down.. I am here for you.." he cheered as he brushed her hair with his fingers "Is it bad dreams again? Are these nightmares hunting you again? Didn't I tell you several times not to exhaust yourself with work? Bad girl.. Bad girl.."

She could not hear his voice when she could feel nothing but blind terror as the color drained from her face to become ashened and yellowish. She was soaked with wet sweat when Thomas noticed her icy cold body, so he cuddled her in his body and wrapped her with the bed covering. He held her cold and clammy hand which was clutched to her twisted stomach showing how painful it was.

"Want to talk, little princess?" he asked "Cease acting tough in front of me.."

"I.. I.. Wha.. What… Yo.. Ha.. You.." she tried to utter some words but her numb voice was edged with fear as if her throat was sealed and gripped and her words were stolen. She was fighting a rising panic that took control over her and it was a hard battle for her.

"Calm down and stay still.."

Thomas held her in his body for a half an hour until her tensed musvles had relaxed and her body stopped shivering. She tried to steady her breath in order to calm the panic.

"There is a bitter taste in the back of my mouth that seems like I can not get rid of." She murmured

"I will bring you a cup of water.." replied Thomas when he separated from her to bring a cup of fresh and cold water "Did you face a bad nightmare?"

"What are you doing here? Why did you get into my room?"

"I only had to check on you.."

"Did I ask you to check on me? I am sure that I told you not to step into my room, right? Please, get out of here!"

"Why are you being so mean and harsh? I just helped you right now!"

"You totally know that I do not need your help, right? Yet, you hid in my room and I do not even know how long were you in.."

"Why can't you be gentler like other girls?! Why don't you just forget the past and continue on? Why can't you be only a cute and sexy girl? You resemble guys but monsters! Emina you are abnormal‼ You need a psychotherapy!"

"Yes. Get out if you please. Right now."

In his raging anger, Thomas shut the door furiously that anyone might thought he was going to break the door, on the other hand, Emina sat calmly on the chair behind the desk to calm her thoughts and return to her isolated world..
