"I could not take it anymore, Nelle," said a voice in the distance.
Serena could not make out their faces, but she knew who they were. Nelle was her mother's name, and that voice belonged to her father.
"We were nothing less than animals there. All that blood nearly drove me insane, and nobody was aware of what we did or who we were."
The statement was followed by a mangled groan from her father, and then he held the faceless woman in front of him and shook his head.
"My love, I am so sorry Theodore escaped it but-"
He turned slightly, as if looking straight at Serena through the veil of the dream. Then his shoulders sank, and he turned back to his wife. "We have to try it. Her life will be very difficult otherwise."
The next words were lost on Serena as she could no longer hear them. They mixed into a blur, and she saw different things like she was sifting through memories.
