14 years old
Several more months passed and Zara had once again started to go to school, along with Maya. They now loved a wealthy lifestyle, going in the best school in a perfectly ironed uniform. The two kids had a day caretaker for them, while there mother was out.
Under the doctor's guidance and support, Zara was now much better and could lead a normal lifestyle. Maya had burried the deep dark secret of her mother in her heart and it had been almost a year but she never questioned her mother at all. She was happy in her books, and had an extremely reserved nature.
Her dreams kept haunting her, but she never uttered a word about it.
One night.....
Maya was sleeping peacefully alone at her place, while Lisa and Zara had gone out for a party. Lisa would often take along one of her daughters to such formal events, so show them around.
The care- taker had just left the house, while Maya was now all alone in the entire place, sleeping peacefully. She was dreaming of beautiful gardens and fountains and saw her farther smiling at her.
"Daddy! I love you. You know I did not kill you." The eight year old Maya spoke sadly looking at her father.
"Of course sweetheart. And I have come to warn you. Run! Run as fast as you can from here. What your mother is doing, is not correct. She will get you killed too! Run!" Suddenly her father's smiling face turned serious and everything around them turned dark.
Suddenly, the dream was transported into a royal party inside a gigantic auditorium, where people were dressed elegantly, talking to each other. Some were sitting on the beautiful carbed chairs, sipping there wines, while a soft music was being played in the other corner. Several couples were dancing slowly to the music, while Maya was standing in the middle of the room, dressed in her night gown.
"My dream has brought me, to the party where mom and Zara have gone. I have to find them quick! Surely something bad is about to happen to them." Little Maya looked around in the large auditoroum, and she blinked several times finding the two of them in the dim lights.
Just then her gaze fell upon Zara, who was sitting in one corner of the room talking happily to an elderly man, who also seemed to be enjoying Zara's company. Maya heaved a sigh of relief looking at Zara as she looked perfectly fine and happy.
"But where is mom?" Maya frowned as she further walked ahead towards the room, near a gigantic bar. Several people dressed in there royal attures where sitting on bar chairs, sipping their drinks. Maya by this age, was so used to ger dreams that right now, she perfectly knew that she was having a dream and she was only visualising what was about to happen.
Just then she spotted a tall lady, dressed in an elegant red gown standing facing a tall man. "Mom."
Maya rushed towards her mother and just then the man embraced Lisa with his one hand and squeezed her hips. Maya frowned a bit and halted in hesitation. "What did dad want to warn me about? Mom does all this, everyday." Maya covered her eyes as she saw her mother emracing the young man, dressed in a dapper black colored suit.
Maya was about to turn away her head, when suddenly she heard a lady takking to another lady in one corner. "Look your husband is yet again, flirting with Lisa. This Lisa has spoiled the atmosphere of the entire town. Look at her daughter, how inncocent she looks! I cannkt believe sych an inncocent girl can have such a clever mother."
"Don't worry Dehlia, this is her end. I have mixed something in her drink, which will soon make her heart rate to go up and she will die a natural death as if she had a cardiac arrest." Another young lady who looked in her thirtees smirked looking at Lisa in much hatred.
