An eight year old girl named lily lived in a small village with her mother, she had a problem that she was having nightmares all the time. Not a night went by that she didn't have a nightmare. She would wake up screaming and crying. Her parents were concerned of course but decided to let it go for now and give her space until they can figure out what's wrong with her. That is until one night when they woke up in fear for their child. They found the little girl laying on the floor clutching onto her blanket tightly.
“Lily are you okay? What happened sweetie? Did you have another nightmare?” her mother asked as gently as possible. Lily shook her head yes and hugged her knees to her chest. Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at them .
“I don't want to sleep anymore… I'll never be able to sleep without the monsters coming after me.” she whispered and buried her face in her knees. All they could do at this point was hold her while she cried herself to sleep. After awhile the girl fell asleep in her mother’s arms.
Her parents' was so afraid
One day Her parents decided to go to a witch Just to help their daughter to come over this nightmares. When they met that witch, she say "I'll help your daughter but in return i want something back"
Lily's parents said they'll give her anything she wants but Just help their daughter,
So The witch asked for the soul of their daughter. She said she'll come back after 30 years to take Lily's soul, and then for the sake of Lily, he parent's agreed to give Lily's soul to that witch .
Year's passed Lily never had her nightmares again but she never become happy too. she lost her happiness with the nightmare. In those year's Lily lost her both parent's in one night, and the only people who loved her in the world left her behind. She began to forget what it felt like to smile or laugh because no one wanted to talk to her or even look at her. Everyone stopped smiling and laughing at her as she grew from a beautiful girl into a young woman
On one night Lily got the nightmare again, but this time it was more realistic, The witch come to her to take her soul. Lily asked that witch why she did that, the witch only laughed . Lily asked if the nightmares was over then why she never become happy. the witch said, "Your parents wanted you to not have any nightmares, but they forgot that without sadness happiness can't live! You may think of being happy but you will still have that darkness inside of you which brings you to tears!" And then The witch took Lily's soul with her leaving only an empty bed in its place.
Remember that happiness only come after sadness. we don't forget painful things happened with us
or how hurt we felt, we just learn from it so no more pain comes our way...
