Rihanna woke up sweating and looking all pale in her pyjamas...like the only child she was her both parents where beside her immediately upon hearing her scream.
it had been a constant thing so much so that she had began to share her room with her parents of last week. Nightmares where always there lurking around waiting for her to close her eyes.
Her parents had tried,they really did. Being wealthy means you have the resources to get whatever you want. both parents of Rihanna (Gladia Lisa-Marie and Paul Lisa-Marie) had taken her to see different psychologist on different occasions but none was working.
Gladia was a proud doctor with a hospital in her name while Paul was one of the best Judges in the country.
Money and fame couldn't bring the peace Rihanna needed even if she was one of the Toppers and famous students in school.
Worst of it all is that this nightmares had started the day she turned eighteen.
"Mum" Rihanna sobs weakly.
She had been crying for a while now that her energy was draining rapidly.
"Same old dream?" Gladia asks her daughter.
"Same Mum"
"Any slight change?" Gladia was using her doctoring voice as well as attitude to examine her daughter.
"Mum I saw the woman more vivdly today.... and I noticed she was wearing a crown on her head before those three women appeared" Rihanna whispers.
"She must be a Queen then...but why do you keep dreaming about her and those women?" Paul asks confused.
"I don't know Dad,am confused well,not to mention the little girl who was crying by the corner"
"A little girl?" Paul asked to be sure as she had not mentioned anything about a little girl before.
Rihanna nods.
"Yes Dad, there's a little girl crying and wailing in my nightmares"
"Did those women harm her also?" Gladia asksm
"uhmm... I can't remember Mum,I only remember that those women surely hurt the woman with a crown" she says.
at this point Rihanna had somehow been able to cope with the dreams, she'd wake up and cry often because of the pains she usually felt in the dream...
It was always like she had lost something important In the dream just like that child...
"Mum,I've got school" she murmurs cleaning her tears.
"Will you able to go today darling?" Gladia asks her daughter.
"Of course mum,I ain't the first to have a nightmare" she scoffs returning to her normal vibrant attitude.
Her both parents heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that..They knew it hadn't been easy for their daughter but as parents they where always going to be there for their child.
"Good,now hurry up and get ready quickly so I can drop you off" Gladia says.
"No way Mum, I'll myself to school"
"I know..I know your twenty and old enough to take care of yourself but please don't take the rights of parents away from us" Paul says smiling lovingly.
Rihanna smiled back at her father...she knew they loved her alot and she was happy she had them.
"As you wish" she shrugs making both her parents laugh at her antics.
Getting up she runs into the bathroom to take a quick shower....the dream long forgotten.
