CONCEALED - Introduction
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, closing my eyes and praying the intruder wouldn't catch up with me.
"Please help me.!" I muttered
I couldn't get out the vivid memory of our car's brake failing, Daddy trying to control it's jerky movements, Mom's scream as we crashed into a ditch, and Mom's final plea to run and never look back as she watched her husband suffer a cardiac arrest and a bleeding shoulder. Leaving them in that car was an offence I could never forgive my self of and having to hear their final groans and screams as the car exploded would come to forever haunt me.
I panted holding on to my chest as furious tears let free, I knew I was running for my life, it was either that or I got killed, Mom had explained that much to me before the car exploded.
The masked man was hot on pursuit and I knew it was a matter of time before he caught up with me, I swerved to the right stifling the pain as my tender skin got scraped by an angry thorn, scooting down I stilled my breathing hoping for a miracle, I could hear footsteps north of where I was hiding… "You sure are a good hider, but believe me I am a good seeker." The voice was rasp and somewhat familiar. . I was starting to feel light headed from fear of what this faceless man could do to me, just then I felt a soft whisper by my ear, "Told you I was a good seeker Bunny, no hard feelings though."
I screamed shaking my head "Please don't hurt me." I cried, my eyes deeply shut, I suddenly felt hands on me shaking me gently, " Wake up sweetheart, it's just a dream."
I scrambled into sitting position opening my eyes and realizing it was a dream, again.

. The same one I had, since the horrible incident that took my parents away from me.
I was gathered into a warm embrace, "Did you have a nightmare again sweetie?" She asked looking quite concerned, I nodded not being able to utter a word.
"Oh dear, I am so sorry you have to go through this. Believe me everything will be just fine, we shall get to the root of it all I promise." She consoled patting my back, I couldn't imagine life without this woman and her loving husband even though they were friends of my parents they never for once made me feel I wasn't one of their's.
"Thanks Aunt Martha." I replied
She sighed " I wish you would just call me Mom, you did when your parents where here with us, I could never hope to take the place of your Mommy. But always remember that I am here whenever you're ready?" She stood up smiling down at me, I nodded once again my throat constricting.
"I need to talk to you Mom." A voice called from the doorway, feeling shy I said a quick "hi", his nod was curt as he moved away from the door.
"Breakfast is ready dear, lemme go attend to the grumpy guy." Aunt Martha said winking at me, I blushed picking at my fingers,
"Okay,thanks." She gave me a quick peck and exited my room.
