***Trigger warning: Child Abuse
Stacey is standing in the corner of the room Amanda’s parents are in frozen to the spot. What is this what am I seeing? Is it a nightmare? A vision? She can feel the power and knows it’s magic, she doesn’t know what’s going on but she can’t wipe the tears away fast enough. She knew Amanda’s parents where abusive she heard the stories, but seeing and feeling it are two different things. It physically hurts, Stacey can feel the ache of hunger, the bruises already forming, and the pain of loneliness Amanda is experiencing in this moment. She throws herself forward to the bathroom but as she rips the door open everything turns to smoke and disappears.
She looks to her left as she feels Amanda appear. She’s five this time and standing outside a big faded door.
