(flashback)
sitting down at the grass field Samantha and Jillian admired the beauty of the city's night lights. As the moon with the stars shines above them.
"Samantha ,what do you want to be when you grew up?"
"I want to be a thoughtful and loving wife" she smiles as she uttered shyly.
"Is that even a dream? silly," Jillian said laughingly.
"You have to promise me one thing" she said as she looked up in the stars.
"What is it?" he asked looking at her,
"You have to marry me when we grow up" she stated!
Jillian is taken a back at what she just said.He didn't said anything instead he pinch her cheeks really hard.
"aaahhhh,that hurts!" she pouted.
He just laugh at her as he stares at the moon having a deep thought.
"hmm,I will" He said in his mind...
The golden sky of a sunset and the scent of flowers is enveloping the city of France. The sky is so beautiful with it's golden color that the sunset brings.
Samantha could see the city's view from where she is sitting. This place has been her secret place with Jillian.They could see the city from a far with all that lights that seems to dance in the night and the river of France which seems to comfort everyone who stares at it and the fresh air that blows with them is so refreshing.
Samantha is staring at the Sun that almost fading away.
Surely the sun sets for a reason but sometimes and somethings reasons are not enough go explain why everything happens.
Because up until now the person she's been waiting for still did not come back at her.
It's been a year already and their still no news of Jillian, no one knows where he has been! Samantha has been waiting in this place almost everyday hoping that he will come here someday.
But as usual, Samantha will come home alone in the orphanage again. Everytime night Samantha cries until she fells asleep.
Mother Susan can only sigh seeing her cry over night everyday.She can't help because they don't know where to find Jillian anymore they already reported it to the police one year ago but up until now there is still no news.
Samantha is always alone in the orphanage because she doesn't talk to other kids because she always want to be alone other than that she is a little older in all of them.
"what's the point of having a friend when sooner or later they will be adopted and they will say goodbye and leave." Samantha broken heartedly says to herself always.
"ha ha! at last i will finally have you, finally!" the fatty man laugh maniacally like crazy while unbuckling his own belt.
"No please! No!!!!" An eight years old Samantha shouts for help, her eye is swelling from the nonstop tears that falls from her eyes.
She was so scared and terrified. Her hands is being tied and she cannot move her body because of the punches that she receives a while ago when she try to escape from him.
the fatty man is now almost n***d. He removes his pants and his shirt, the only left is his underwear!
"Please spear me uncle! Please don't do this to me" samantha continues to beg him but the man seems to be out of his mind now.
He grab Samantha's hair as he threw her thin body on the old bamboo chair, Her back landed in the old bamboo chair, Samantha could feel the pain because of how hard his grip on her wrist is and how hard that old chair is.
he places his hands on her legs his eyes full of l**t.
Samantha extend her right foot to kick him! But he just grip it what could a little girl can do? When samantha tries to move her other feet a hard punch went through her stomach!
Samantha cries in pain. She could feel her soul screaming out of her body. She couldn't even breath because of the pain.
The fatty man seems to not care whether the girl is breathing or not! He grabs her shirt and was preparing to torn it apart, but Samantha tried her best to get away from him kicking him with all the remaining strength she had but the fatty man didn't even move an inch.
Samantha keeps trying to escape, she keeps kicking him and suddenly the man groaned in pain because Samantha had accidentally kick his d**k grabbing the
chance samantha roll down from the
couch to the floor
It hurts! she crawled not minding the dirty flor beneath her she doesn't have enough strength to stand up it was a miracle that she could even move her little thin body.
The next moment she heard the man growl looking back she could see that the fatty man is getting near to her slowly she could feel her body tremble in fear
"thudddddd!!!," all of a sudden the fatty man just fell off the floor with its red thick blood dripping down heavily!
She could see how the blood flow all over the floor from his neck his eyes wide open as his body trembled before his breath stops.
Shocked from what just happened Samantha try hard not to scream. She was so shocked that she even forgot to breath no words came out of her mouth even though she wanted to scream really loud.
"Aaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Samantha screams out loud that could make the whole orphanage hear!!
Her sweat is all over her tiny forehead! She just had a terrifying dream! She couldn't remember what exactly happened but one thing is for sure that man is dead! He was attacked right at his neck
Who was it?
Why can't she remember about that incident?
Her head aches so much just by thinking of that dream! It hurts so much that it feels like her head is about to burts out!!
"Samantha are you okay?" Mother Susan wipe samantha's sweats as she ask her gently! It has been more than twenty minutes since her and the other nuns is trying to wake her up samantha has been screaming all through that but thankfully she manage to wake up.
"Mother....it hurts!"
As soon as Samantha sees Mother Susan she hurriedly hugs her and she can't stop crying!
"It's alright.. It will all be alright hmm.." Mother Susan hugs her tightly as she tap her back gently.
She nodded at the other nuns implying that Samantha should be alone right now. The other nuns nodded respectfully and left.
It has been a months since Samantha started to have weird dreams, she would wake up catching her breath and when
Mother Susan asked her she can't
bear to say it out loud! Those she
want to handle it alone! What more
she couldn't remember the faces
in her dreams it was still blur
No matter how much she thinks of it, she can't remembered if it had happened to her everytime she tries to think about it her head will just ache like it's about to burts out that's why Samantha decided to not think about it anymore but still that dreams come to her almost every night.
