it was no mistake she was here

Lily rose from the bed sweating profusely, it was the same night mare again, she looked around but her vision was blur, tears had gathered in her eyes, she didn't hold them back anymore but let them flow down her cheeks.

She had seen her parents, the one she left in her world talking about her as they had always done in the middle of the night, they were arguing till they introduced violence and they had continued stabbing each other right in the presence of little Lily, blood was all she could see and she was stained by it.

She had hated anything blood but it came visiting her every night and now she seemed to be involved in something that had to do with blood.

Lily wiped the tears away with the back of her palm and walked towards what seemed like the bathroom, she was now grateful that the designs were same as his former house, she had asked Jazmine how to take care of herself including how to dress herself if no one was there to help her and Jazmine had taught her.

Dropping her cloths on the pile on the floor, she had stepped into the bathtub were water was in, dipping her whole being into the water she closed her eyes, her hair floating.

'What was she going to do?'

"It's going to be fine" she heard a voice say and she laughed at herself, she was truly going to run mad.

Removing her head from the water, she looked around her but found no one and then she smiled, 'What a moron she was'.

"now I hear voices even in this place" she muttered to herself and she brought water to rinse her face.

"you aren't going crazy, my dear" The voice said and then Lily knew someone was with her, her wet hair was being stroked now.

"who are you?" Lily's dry voice asked as she looked into the water to find any reflection but all she could see was someone in a hood.

"someone you know" the feminine spoke sotto voce.

"I know everyone now, why are you here?, you have come to take me too?, to help you perherps" Lily said as she sighed.

"no at least not yet, am just here to comfort you my dear, you have quite a lot ahead of you and it might keep changing you, it is not what you are supposed to face but your parent choice or should I say choices has brought you here" The woman's voice said as she combed Lily's hair with her fingers.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked and the woman's chuckle could be heard.

"I can't tell you much as I am not supposed to be here but one thing, it is no mistake that you are here, make wise decisions and it might shed light unto your future" The woman said.

"we might meet again in the future my dear, be wise" The woman said and then she kissed Lily's hair and then Lily could feel her hair drop.

Looking into the water, she saw no reflection and then looking behind her, she saw no one.

Lily stayed in the bath tub a little longer as she washed her body, getting out of the tub she wrapped around her the black towel which was hanged.

There was a knock on the door and Lily went to open it as she was fully dressed in a night gown.

it was the maid from earlier, "can I help you?" Lily asked and the maid bowed.

"Dinner is served milady" The maid replied but Lily had no appetite.

"I am not hungry, can I perherps get just fruit" Lily asked and the maid nodded bowing again.

That night Lily had slept early as she thought of what the hooded woman had said, "wise decisions was it".

'it was no mistake she was here but then she didn't want to stay here' Lily thought and she came into conclusion that night.

She was going to help him and then immediately ask him to send her back, it was a deal she was going to make with him, when she sees him the next day.
