Her dreams

BULSALAN VILLAGE, PHILIPPINES

"Noooo!! Charlotte!!!!!"Tessa screamed. She got to the brigde and held its edge.

As Charlotte body went deep into the ocean, she could still remember how she met Marcus. It was still fresh in her memory.

#FLASHBACK#

A year ago

"Go Charlotte!!" Tessa screamed as she watched her sister danced. They were in the river taking their bath when Charlotte started dancing.

She dipped herself into the water and came out almost immediately. Her wet gown was soaked already and her wet hair was dripping down her body.

"Huh? How was it Tessa?" She asked her sister Tessa who sat on the rock in the middle of the river.

"Fantabulous..... spectacular... amazing!!" Tessa screamed out.

"I know right?"Charlotte laughed out.

"Hey we're wasting much time already. We promise mother and uncle we won't waste much time and we're gonna be late for Emma's show. Its time already" Tessa said, standing up from the rock.

"That's right Tessa. It's almost time. I can't miss Emma show. I can't wait to see Ivy dancing with her. You know, she's becoming famous already" Charlotte said.

"She's an amazing dancer. I like Ivy more than Emma and very soon, she will be famous too" Tessa muttered as they walked out of the river holding hands.

"Common let's change" She said and Charlotte nodded.. They dried their hair with the towel they brought before changing into their clean outfit.

Suddenly they heard screams....

"Common Charlie,, it's starting" Tessa said. She was being impatient already. "I'm almost done" Charlotte muttered back. She tied her hair in ponytail. She heard her sister hands as they ran out of the bus.

They got to the main road and Charlotte could hear the sound of music. She swag her hip to the beat of the music.

She lost control of herself as she started dancing slowly.

"Charlotte... we're on the road" Tessa cautioned her.

"It's nothing,, c'mon join me" Charlotte muttered as she started dancing uncontrollably now.

People started gathering as they watched her dancing. Tessa bite on her lower lip and couldn't help but join her sister in dancing.

"Charlotte! Charlotte!!! Charlotte!!!!"

"Charlotte!!"

Despite being in the dance floor with her sister, her name kept ranting in air. Sounds of clapping and cheers filled the air too. People throwing money on her too.

She kept moving her hips to the beat of the music.

Well, if there's one thing you should know about Charlotte is this - She was made from dance. Like...it's a spirit that can never leave her. She can't stay close to a music without dancing to it. It drives her crazy.

Charlotte!!!

The screams became louder.

"Charlie"They heard a louder voice which made them stop immediately. Tessa gasped seeing their mother from afar walking to the villiage square.

"Mother is coming"Tessa said scared. "Oh no! " Charlotte gasped and the happiness on her face dissapeared.

"This isn't good, the lion of a mother is coming" Someone from the crowd said and everyone ran in different directions.

No one is ready to face her . They know how dangerous Mrs Emily is when it comes to her daughters.

"Oh no! I'm dead, I'm dead" Charlotte said. Her mother got to her almost immediately.

"Mother" She called and was rewarded with a thunderous slap.

"Mother" Tessa gasped at the slap. Her mother turned to her and slapped her too.

"You little witch. How dare you disobey me" She said pointing her index finger at Charlotte.

"Mother" Charlotte burst out in tears.

"Answer me!!" Mrs Emily yelled in all anger written over her.

"And you!!" She turned to Tessa.

"Mother....is all my fault. I forced Tessa to bring me here disobeying you. I'm sorry mom. Please don't hurt Tessa" Charlotte pleaded staring into space.

"You be quiet!" Mrs Emily yelled at Charlotte.

"You little devil... I'm i too little to talk to you. I'm i too little to become your mother?" She said to Charlotte who was already a crying mess.

"Mother..."

"Shut up" Mrs Emily snapped back.

"Why mom....why stopping our dreams. Is it a crime we have passion for dancing when you don't like it?" Tessa uttered.

"How dare you talk back at me" Mr Emily was about slapping her again but was quickly held by uncle Pedro.

"That's enough Emily. Let the girls be" Uncle Pedro said.

"No! I don't want them dancing. Isn't that hard to understand? Why can't they fucking stop dancing" She said and without knowing, she burst into tears.

"Do they have to disobey me always?. I hate it....i hate seeing them dance. I'm their mother and they ought to respect my decisions" Mrs Emily flares up. Her cheek was soaked and her eyes so red.

She removed her grip from uncle Pedro and ran out.

Uncle Pedro inhaled deeply and moved closer to Tessa. He wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry Tessa" Charlotte voiced came in but it only made Tessa hiccups.

"It's gonna be fine. Don't mind your mother" Uncle pedro assured and she nodded. "Let's heed home. Its late and i know you wouldn't want to miss Emma show" Uncle Pedro added.
