Dreams and Nightmares

Part 1 Prologue

Part 1 Prologue

Jun 22, 2020

Life gives you a lot of different options to get to where you want to be. However, sometimes you just have to wait for your turn. Roja has been waiting for her turn for years now and lost hope when she needed it most. All her life, it wasn’t her who made the decisions. Destiny and faith brought her to where she is now. With her parents being taken away from her too soon, she has inner battles to fight while surviving on the outside as well.

But this is not a story about a girl who suddenly finds hope. This is a story about people growing, fighting and giving up just to try again. This is not only about a girl that tries to stand up for herself again but also about a family that needs to overcome the past to finally move on and all the people around them who just try to get through life as well as possible.

All of this starts in a calm neighbourhood. It is early in the morning, most people are still asleep but the birds are already awake. A soft wind blows through the trees. The only disturbing part about this peaceful scenery is the ten armed men positioned around one of the small houses. As one of them starts approaching the front door, there’s complete silence around them. Roja, inside of that house, is already awake but doesn’t notice what’s happening outside. She hears the door being broken down and people storming into the house, but she doesn’t know that this moment will change her life. She’s just sitting in her dark room, trying to get rid of the chains that keep her in that room overnight once again.

Thank you for checking out this story!

Just a little hint that this story has been edited a few times and one of the major changes was the change of the name Scarlet to Roja. So, if you see people referring to Scarlet in the comments, they're talking about Roja!

Roja is caught between her brightest dreams and her darkest nightmares. Taken into illegal custody by a gang leader as a child and used as a pawn in his plans, she finds herself caught in a net of lies even when a saviour seems to appear out of nowhere. The members of the Morelli family, despite their flawless look, have their own secrets and problems to hide from Roja. In particular, Jason not only hides his identity but also his feelings from her and everyone else.

Will Roja’s dreams ever come true or is she stuck with her nightmares forever? What can Jason, Oren and Lola do about that situation and how will it influence their own lives? Will Roja's life ever change from a nightmare to a dream?
