Shane had finally gotten Carmen to go to sleep. She hung onto Shane’s body tightly not letting go.

Shane: What happened in that car Carmen?

She sighed kissing her angel on the forhead. Carmen’s nightmares returned to her. She was sitting in a car. Then it stopped. Her mom shielded her body. And then there were shots fired. Then darkness and mens voices. A woman was there too. She laughed. They beat her and made her hungry. They wouldn’t let her go no matter how much she begged. Carmen woke up screaming.

Shane: Babe!

Her tears flowed as she swung around not letting Shane get a grasp on her.

Shane: Carm, it’s me! It’s me!

Carmen slowed and looked into the calming green eyes and buried her face into Shane’s chest. What inner monster had she released into Carmen’s mind? She felt guilty for making whatever bad memories resurface.

Shane: Carmen, it’s okay, I’m here. Shane will protect you.

Carmen calmed down hiccuping. Shane pulled away to take a look at Carmen and gave her a smile.

Shane: Carm, look, everything’s okay. I got you.

Carmen nodded. She gave Shane a little smile. When she opened her mouth to talk, nothing came out though. Shane’s brow furrowed.

Shane: Carmen? What’s wrong with your voice?

Jenny had heard the commotion and stood outside the door. She kicked down the door and barged in.

Jenny: Carmen? Carmen! You stupid idiot.

She yelled at Shane.

Jenny: She was kidnapped! Didn’t you know! She was finally better and you come in and ruin everything! Get away from her!

Jenny pushed Shane out of the bed and sat next to Carmen. Carmen clung onto Jenny with tears in her eyes.

Jenny: Carmen, let’s go back to bed. I’ll bring you your favorite snack when you wake up okay?

Shane watched Jenny talk to her like a child.

Shane: What’s wrong with her?

Jenny: Unlike you, she’s human and has feelings. Her mind was very weak after the incident with her mom. No one really knows what she went through, just it was horrible. She came back like this. A child, Cezar looked for the best doctors in the world to make her sane again. One day she just all of a sudden became normal again. She couldn’t remember a thing. That’s when Cezar decided to tell her, she wasn’t on that car, and her mother had an accident. You idiot. Now look at what you did to her. Get out.
