Chapter 178: The Monsters
20 years ago, Fresno, California
Sam sat on the couch, in a shady office of a person she met just seconds before. She found the address online, providing hypnotism services and she decided to give it a shot for she’d rather not wait five more years. She did as the woman asked, she lied on the couch and leaned back, closing her eyes. However she felt a wave of unease swept over her, she didn’t know that person. That person could turn her into a bodysuit, which was terrible in her standards.
She tried to kick her morbid thought aside, and she calmed her racing heart, attempting to relax, as the woman spoke. Sam listened to the sound of her voice, listening to her every word as she leaned back on the chair, her body slowly relaxing and the woman’s voice started fading, where did it go? She wondered, seeing blackness in her mind.
"It’s buried deep in your memory, find it." the woman spoke watching the young teen slowly melt to the couch. Her arms fell limp beside her. If she was honest, she wanted to avoid dealing with teenagers; after all, she wasn’t certified or anything. She just did it for the cash, and business had been slow, and she needed the money. And the redhead was offering a lot.
"Remember the monsters under your bed" she continued, noticing her breathing slowing down. A sign that she was now unconscious.
Sam’s life flashed in her mind backwards, so fast she could only see snippets of it.
Till she found it.

March 15. Spindlewood, Somerset
The red-haired toddler walked hand in hand with her mother, Lilian. "Dad!" Her squeaky voice echoed down the stairs, where her Father Christian was, doing some work even during a vacation he took for their Wedding Anniversary.
He smiled down adoringly to his youngest child, only 3, Samantha as she dropped her mother’s hand and sprinted into a run towards him in her pink pyjamas. Her bare tiny feet pit-patting against the wooden floors.
