I don’t have the heart to tell him that she looks like a cross between a cow and a horse mashed together and her hair looks like shit.
Today is his birthday and we’re all supposed to be nice.
The house is beautiful. Ma did such a great job decorating, and like when we were little she leaves a space in the living room where the guests can place their presents. She’s so organized and I hope that one day when I’m a mother I can be just like that too.
Everyone is in the garden but it feels weird.
I walk toward them. Ma and Pa are sitting together under the gazebo, Freddo and Tony are staring into space. Cordelia is being a bitch today, she looks at me with that ‘don’t care why were you ever born’ face she’s been giving me a lot lately because she knows I’m with Gabe.Abuelitais standing at the edge of the garden.
She’s looking at something. So is everyone else. I just don’t know what.
I walk down to where she is standing and then I see it.
It’s a glass coffin like you’d imagine Snow White was placed in but there’s a skeleton inside it.
I look atAbuelitaand she smiles that warm smile she always gives me.
“Look and you will see,” she tells me and points back to the coffin.
When I look back I see Gabe inside...
“No!”I cry jump up with a start… waking up. “Oh God…Gabe.”
It’s not real. Just a dream… just a dream. No… a nightmare. A nightmare.
My heart is pounding and I’m panting. I can’t catch my breath. I release a short burst of breaths and look around the …room?
Where am I?
It’s dark with the hint of a faint light and I’m on the ground. That’s as much I know.
Dark and the ground is earthy. Dirt.
I run my fingers over dirt. So I’m somewhere outside?
That doesn’t make any sense. I focus my gaze toward the light and try to adjust my eyes.
Slowly, I start to remember what happened. What Tobias did to me.
Tobias stabbed me with a tranquilizer and I’ve been out. I don’t know if it’s dark because where I am is dark or if it’s dark because it’s night. it feels like I’ve been out for days. I hope I haven’t. I pray I haven’t.
Instinct sends my hand to my stomach and I feel. I know I’m being ridiculous because I’m only three weeks pregnant but I want to feel. Something inside my soul knows what I’m feeling for and when I get the sensation that I’m not damaged in any way in my stomach, I feel as at ease as I could be given where I am.
Then next thing I feel for is over my mound and pelvic area. I would just die if I knew that Tobias had abused me in my unconscious state. I would just perish here if that man had been inside me again.
It doesn’t feel like it happened. I’m not sore like I’ve had sex so the situation is what it is.
The question is - what is it?
Where am I?
Why did he bring me here? That fucking bastard doesn’t just do things for the sake of it. I’m here for a reason. I just don’t know what it is yet.
I stand and move around, move toward the light.
It’s dark but the area feels spacious like I’m in a wide open space. Then there’s dripping of something like water.
And a growl.
