"See," I whispered in Chinese, tapping my meager Chi magic. "Understand. Enter.

"He?" I asked. Jessy said nothing. I headed over the stairs and ran up them, stopping at a door.With a breath, I opened the door and entered...

"You little b*tch," came the growl, his breath stinking of alchohol. "You little-"
I burried my head in my pillow, stuffing it in my mouth to stop the screams.
I looked at me. "You already knew that though. I should explain."

"You see, it started somewhere else. Outside." My room faded and a graveyard came into view. A young girl, me, was cling to a grave, crying hysterically. A man was trying to pull her away, but she was too hysterical. then he slapped her and carried her away. "That's where it started. He told me later, much later, that it made him feel better."

"Dad, I love you and you know that. But I loved him too. I'm a crazy mixed up kid and when something repeats itself I expect everything to happen again. I'm scared."

"I know. Or at least part of me does. A small part is just scared. Always scared." I hugged him.
