Fight To Live

Nightmares

Third Person POV

As Bella breaks from her hug when she starts to calm down she looks at Sierra with love and adoration.

"Thank you for being there for me I was always alone as I was an orphan since birth and no one cared for me but you are the first one or should I say only one? who cared for me and stood for me and asked me if I am okay thankyou I would always be in debt to you and I will follow your footsteps on every stage of my life", Bella confesses as she looks at Sierra with a grateful smile but Sierra doesn't respond because she thinks that once people find out what she has been doing they wont think of her same as before.

Talking to Bella and making her feel comfortable Sierra leaves her to sleep and goes to her room but little did she know that her peace wont last long.

Later at midnight everyone's sleep was disturbed due to some ones screaming and everyone emerged from their rooms to find the source of the screams Ann, Dani, Benji, Sam, Julie, Brian, Seth, Ron and Bella came to the source of screams that was Sierras bedroom where they all came to an halt when they that Ken was sitting against her door hugging his knees to his chest and was a sobbing mess he was sitting there as if he knew that she would be getting nightmares tonight.

Listening to her screams made everyone feel her pain and it brought tears to their eyes as her screams were too agonizing that made it made their heart clench.

No one said anything or made a move and just stood there looking at a sobbing Ken and listened Sierra scream her screams of pain agony were too loud that it was echoing in the mansion after half an hour there was a long and loudest scream heard and her screams stopped abruptly which made Ken to go on alert he stood up fast and motioned everyone to follow which they did without questioning Ken led them all to his room and closed it after exactly ten minutes he left the room to Sierras and found her gone and he took a sigh of relief.

When he looked up many faces looking at him with different emotions but the similarity between them was that they all had tears sliding down their cheeks and Benji was in the most worst condition they all were waiting for his explanation and because he knew no escape and especially Benji had the right to know he took them all to the living room where all of them settled down on couches.

"Uncle Benji don't worry about Sierra she will be back till the morning she will probably just run on the streets all night", Ken told looking towards him who smiled grateful at him.

"Umm Okay so there is no escape right from some confessions?", Ken asked looking around everyone who shook their heads lightly at him.

"So umm from where do I start?"  , he asked nervously as he didn't knew how to tell them.

"From the start and don't skip anything", Sam told him seriously while Ken just chuckled shaking his head to which everyone looked at him and if looks could kill he would probably be seventy feet underground.

" Fine I met her five years ago in Brazil where I went for a three month camp I went there alone for hiking and camping it was a group of ten people six boys and four girls and Sierra was one of them and she was the first one to get my attention its obvious to everyone that she would get attention immediately anywhere because of her unique features anyway we both were the only two twelve years old there in the group at first I thought she was a freak as she would always be looking around as if she was on search for something or someone she wont sleep at nights and keep her guards up with everyone who would try to talk to her and I knew immediately that she has her walls up like she is protecting herself from something that she can face but I didn't knew what and on the fourteenth day something happened", Ken said and looked at everyone's face that were listening keenly but when he suddenly stopped it got the best out of them. 

"What happened?", Brian asked him as if he couldn't wait anymore and Kens eyes started watering up which was noticed by everyone as they got quite and understood that Ken needed much strength to tell so they waited patiently after five minutes when Ken gathered his strength he started telling them about his nightmare.

"One of our tents caught fire and that night I understood why she was always on alert and kept looking around", Ken said remembering when would always look around herself.

"Why?", this came from Benji who was silently seeking answers from Ken of his unasked questions.

"She was protecting us she was on high alert all the time because she was really on search that night when the tent caught fire it distracted her and others which caused chaos the last that I remember from that night was someone keeping a clothed hand on my face which smelled sweet and muffled my screams and I fainted when I woke up next I was in a basement tied to wall with chains on my ankles and wrist and a bed in the middle of the basement where I saw things which I will never forget a sight which are the cause of my nightmares", Ken said as he took a deep breath and his lips started quivering and tears started leaking no one said anything and waited for him to continue but they could tell it was hard for him and he was struggling to say and no one questioned him and for once he was grateful that he was not questioned.

"I I I was na naked and there were more then ten more boys that were tied and completely naked like me they were of different ages from early twenties to teenagers and they all looked messed up as if they were going crazy when I woke up a creepy old man came there and turn by turn tha that that old man assaulted everyone there on the bed in front of everyone they would scream and thrash but he wouldn't stopped and then after two hours when he was done with everyone he came towards me I kept on thrashing and screaming but no one came and I gave up I just felt numb to everything but at the very moment when he was going to start something happened he stopped because he was shoved of off me I saw Sierra moving towards him like a lioness towards its prey and I saw that the psycho had fear in his eyes just her presence made him fear her and I saw my hope in her and maybe everyone else did too because their eyes told too", Ken stated as everyone in the room had emotions on their faces they had sympathy for him as they don't know how it feels and had new tears for his pain which made him smile thinking that they had a heart that understands pain.

"We all saw how she broke bones after bones of him and his screams echoed in the basement and we all heard his cries as he asked for help but no one moved because before him everyone has screamed and he didn't stop Sierra mashed him to pulp but she didn't kill him when she was finished with him she left and came back with lots of clothes and she quietly opened everyone's chains and only pointed them to the pile of clothes asking them quietly to just get dressed up and wait for her others and when I got dressed I did the one thing that I wanted to do from the time she saved me I hugged her and cried my heart out and she kept on saying one thing again and again  "I am sorry that I am late and you had to see all that" she kept on consoling me she took all of us silently to a hospital where I don't know what she said but everyone there took extreme care of us she got us psychiatrist and took care of everyone of us and the police took our statements", Ken took a deep breath as the most hard part was finished.

"But there was something about her she was more attached to me as if she herself deeply knows how it feels to see someone getting r***d she took extra care and took me to her home she would always be there when I had nightmares she would put my head on her lap and sing me lullaby and she became my soul sister but one day I didn't took my sleeping pills and woke up hearing her screaming and I got to know about her nightmares she would have them every night and she would the house when she wakes up and runs around the city but it was always like she is searching for someone on those streets she trained me the two years I didn't came back and those two years I promised myself everyday that I will protect her with my life but when she left I thought that I don't have a reason to live nor to do die so I just didn't ever fight back because only she knew my pain and when she came here she was disappointed in me as I promised her that I would fight to live but I didn't but I wont disappoint her anymore because I will continue her objective", Ken finished looking determined.

"And what is her objective?", asked Sam looking in Kens eyes.

"To protect people who are getting abused and are suffering and most importantly protect r**e victims", Ken told them all making a eye contact with everyone for a short period of time.
