Why does it hurt so much

*Riva*

Dante was crying out her name. Her voice rising in fever and pain. But it was dark, so dark that she could see nothing beyond the inky blackness. She reached blindly, searching for her daughter. The girl's cries turned to sobs, heartbroken, wretched sobs that pulled from the depths of her being. Dante was in pain, so much pain. Riva needed to be there for her, but she couldn’t find her. Too little, too late a scratchy voice whispered in her ear. She turned swiftly, reaching out blindly. But there was nothing there.

too little, too little, too little…too late the voice whispered, rising and fading, and giggling.

“Show yourself!” She cried, desperately blinking, trying to see. Perhaps she was blind. She scratched at her eyes. She scratched at them, and scratched at them, and she felt pain and - and suddenly she felt soft ground beneath her. Warmth of a body beside her. She shot into a sitting position, breathing heavily. A dream? It had just been a dream. She remembered the sound of Dante crying her name, and sobs ripped from Riva’s body. She rocked back and forth, the sound of her daughter's dying cries in her ears.
