I jerk awake, coated in a cold sweat, with the sheets twisted around my
bare legs. My tank top and thong stick to my body, and my long black
hair is stuck to my skin.
Disgusting.
Pathetic.
Count, Nova, count.
I begin to count the specks of light filtering through the curtain,
indicating it’s sunrise, the bricks on the wall, and then the stains on the
ceiling from my neighbour above watering her plants too often. I count until
I can breathe again and his face and voice no longer haunt me. I realise then
I can still taste blood, and with a sigh, I throw back the covers. I get up to
stretch, waking my body before padding to the adjoining bathroom.
Flicking on the fan and light, I lean into the counter and stare at myself in
the rectangular mirror. My eyes are bloodshot, and my bones stick out from
my lack of appetite. I’m getting worse the closer I get to . . . there.
Shaking my head, I push back my wet hair and spit into the sink. I run
the tap, watching the pink, bloody water disappear down the drain. Sticking
my tongue out, I see tiny puncture wounds from my teeth. I must have bit it
in my sleep.
I turn away and crank on the cheap hotel shower. I didn’t get in until
late last night, and I have another day of driving before the funeral.
Funeral.
Even thinking that seems surreal. He’s actually dead. The man who I
thought was unstoppable, the man who I thought was invincible, is dead. I
should be celebrating, I should be fucking rejoicing, but instead all I feel is
lost. For so long, he’s been the shadow following me, always one step away,
and now . . . what am I running from? What should I do?
And Ana . . . What about Ana?
She’s been by his side since I disappeared. What does she think
happened to me? I often wonder if she remembers me. Does she even care,
or did he brainwash her and turn her into his little clone? She was always so
influenced by him, so eager to please. I wonder if he hurt her like he hurt
me.
No, he couldn’t have. I made sure of that.
But she will be at the funeral, so what do I say? Will she even recognise
me? Will she even care?
It’s been ten fucking years of running, hiding, and being nothing but a
ghost thanks to him. I was just a kid when I left, only seventeen, but she
was younger still. She was only fourteen, and that’s a long time to spend
with a monster like him.
My turbulent thoughts and worries won’t help. He taught me not to
jump to conclusions and that the only certain thing in life is reality, not the
worries in my brain. The only accurate things are what you can taste, see,
feel, and explain.
