Chapter 154: Not Your Fault
DAHLIA POV
I stared at the water in front of me, trying very hard not to let that memory of what I had experienced as a child get into my mind. But it doesn’t matter, no matter what I did, staring at the water just seemed to take me back to that place. The water looked crystal clean, white and soft pink petals drifted effortlessly with the current as if they were untroubled with life.
I knew the water would be soothing, it looked warm and inviting but I just still couldn’t bring myself to enter inside. Just because it was beautiful on the outside doesn’t mean the inside was safe!
I could feel the eyes of the sisters who were supposed to teach me the entire process on me. They were probably waiting for me to get into the water so they can begin today’s lesson. Swallowing, I tried to look at anywhere else but the water. I couldn’t help myself, I stayed rooted to the spot unable to look away.
Just get in the water! Just get inside the water it shouldn’t be that difficult! I told myself but old memories resurfaced and anytime I stared at the water, all I could do was just see those green eyes telling me everything was going to be okay as water filled my organs and I drown.
"What’s taking so long sister?" One of them called me.
Taking in a deep breath, I turned to look at the woman who had spoken. I guess there was no point in hiding it any longer. "I’m sorry, I can’t do this exercise."
"We didn’t ask you though."
"Yeah, well I am telling you that I won’t be doing this exercise!" I said as I grabbed my robe and began to wear it.
I saw the women exchange a few glances amongst themselves but I didn’t care. I walked away from the pool and began to head out but just before I could make it outside, my path was blocked by the sisters of the light.
I stared at the spears they used to block my path before I stared at them. "Let me through."
