Chapter 1: Mother’s Death
The last words Mother said to me were spoken in her sleep. In her dream, she sat in her rocking chair by the window, a concerned expression clouding her face. She gazed out the window, completely unaware of my presence. I wanted her to look at me, to smile one last time, but I knew I would make it much more painful for both her and I by revealing myself. The sun shone on her pale skin, reflecting off her curly blond locks. She held a piece of paper in her lap. Even without looking at it, I knew it was the picture Father had drawn of her before their wedding. “Remember what I taught you. Remember my most important lesson, Doretta. Don’t talk to strangers.” I nodded, trying hard not to cry. Her fingers did not twitch, but the paper in her hands ripped in two. The sky darkened. Mother’s hair turned black. A violent wind unlatched the window. Mother’s body disintegrated into sand particles and blew away into the wind. The pieces of paper vanished. Even as a five year old child, I knew she was gone.
I woke up, my head buried in a single-layered blanket. I was sitting next to Mother, who lied fragilely in the bed in front of me. She was breathlessly beautiful, though her rosy cheeks were now white as a lily’s petal. She looked so comfortable, yet pained. My dry hands reached for her smooth, cold fingers. Mother had told me her time of parting would come soon, though I had prayed upon the heavenly moon that she would cure from her unknown disease. All adults catch this illness once they reach the Age of Limit; all except for the Queen. I still had twenty-five years until I was of that age. Caressing her fingers, I wondered how much I would be like Mother once I reach the Age of Limit.
A soft knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. “Ms. Doretta Patel. We are here to collect Mrs. Hermosa Patel.” I held onto Mother’s hands for a while longer, before I went to open the door. At the front of my wooden door stood two men, each wearing a dull yellow tunic with a red cloak to block the evening wind. I myself was wearing a simple gown Mother had sewn for me when she was still able to sit up. I led the men to Mother’s bedside. One of them lifted her onto his shoulder as if she was a sack of potatoes. The other knelt down so he was about my height and said, “Ms. Doretta, you understand that your mother will not be coming back?” I nodded. “Have you collected your possessions then?” I nodded. He smiled sympathetically, and told me to grab my items so I could move to my new home.
Mother had told me this day would come. She told me when it was time that I would need to pack the things that were most important to me and the things I would need to survive. I didn’t know how I knew, but something told me to pack my belongings the day Mother died.
A/N2: Originally, my friend started to write this story and then turned it over to me which explains the choice of character names (Doretta Patel, Hermosa and Queen Annabelle and later the price...who's name was originally René were all of her ideas... but i changed René to Ryosuke XD and some of the details like his golden hair and blue eyes...to brown hair and brown eyes XD don't worry it'll come up soon XD) So let's play a game my readers~ Try and see if you can pick out where her writing ends and mine starts within this story :D I hope you enjoy~ Commento to hiban ga daisuki desu kara...ronpyou shite kudasai?
