Chapter Text
“Move. We don’t have time for this.”
“Haven’t you heard me? Move!”
“Your stuff isn’t going to sort itself. Go on, take it and move”
The harsh voice rings in Kianas ears. What did the lady say again? She hears her words, but can’t comprehend them. The other thoughts in her head are too loud and too fast, they don’t leave room for anything else. Her whole head is occupied with worry and regret and anger.
Worry about the others, the ones she left behind.
Regret about not finishing the job, about failing even this.
And, most of all, anger. Anger at herself for being so stupid and selfish. Anger at Them for putting her through all of this. Anger at the world for not caring. Anger and Jealousy towards everyone who doesn’t have to be here. Angry at how everything she ever knew seems to just be a lie.
The nurse lets out an annoyed sigh and mumbles something, probably complaining.
Kiana doesn’t hear it, she is way too deep in her head to notice anything happening around her. Everything seems to be spinning and the longer she looks at anything, the more blurry it gets. The voice of the nurse is muffled nonsense through the panic, and even though Kiana knows she is screaming at her, she cannot understand anything. She can see her mouth move fast and her expression getting angrier. But no sound comes out of her mouth.
Kianas vision begins to fade away, going back to her memories. Like a filter, the face of Her is suddenly overlaying the nurses face. It’s just as she remembered. The same concerned and stern look in Her eyes. The smile that can turn into an angry snarl so fast. Kiana can’t help but miss Her. Her voice also sounds exactly the same. So sweet it’s almost sticky, a deadly trap.
“Kyana why did you leave us. We miss you so much. Don’t you know you’re breaking my heart doing that?”
“Answer me. Why did you leave us.”
“You know you wont survive alone.”
“Selfish brat. We give you everything and you leave us, dooming us all. You know how much they suffered because of you?”
“Ayoni… You know how it is… Someone has to be punished.”
Finally, Kiana finds her voice again and screams angrily: “Do not bring Ayoni into this!”
“You know what happens to her is entirely you choice.”
She lets loose an angry scream and swings her fist towards Her face.
Something snaps in her brain. Her fist is slightly bloodied and scraped up by the wall. It stings. The face is gone, the voices too. Instead, she sees the nurse
directly next to her fist, looking pale with widened eyes. Everything is quiet.
