It was a long while before she got out of the shower. Finally, she found some underwear and a nightgown and put a black and white movie on low. Then she went to her bed and lay down. She wanted to sleep but wasn’t sure she could. It was 1 pm.
Adara fell to sleep while watching old movies. The sound was so low she wasn’t even sure what they had been saying. So instead, she imagined what was said based on facial expressions and movements around the set. But eventually, Adara fell to sleep.
In her dream, everyone was staring at her and pointing. Then, unexpectedly, an older woman grabbed Adara from behind. She screamed, “whore, you must be purified by blood!”
Adara struggled in her dream but could not break free. The older woman held her by the right hand and stabbed her through her palm breaking the skin. She was shrieking all the while. “Suffer the death of Christ!!”
Adara woke in a cold sweat. She was shivering. She struggled out of the blanket and sheet and crawled to the other side of the bed. The clock read 9:35 pm. Adara realized then she was shaking. She held her hands out and watched them quiver for a few moments before finally getting up to go to the bathroom.
She took another shower. It was still early, and she had time to kill. She was sure her mother and Marshall wouldn’t be asleep till much later. She sat in the corner again and repeated her behavior earlier in the day. She looked heavenward and implored, “Please God, help me get away from this house tonight. Please, I want to be back with Dean. Please.” She closed her eyes, wrapped them around her knees, and rocked herself back and forth for a while.
