Chapter 1: They Don't Deserve to Kow
Disclaimer:All I own is Pricilla and my fanfic account
"Pricilla!"
I snapped awake. "Yeah, Mom?"
"You did it again."
I looked around my room to see that I was sitting on a mound of soil, and my ceiling was gone, and I had a wonderful view of the early morning sky.
"Dang it. Mom, could you fix it, please?"
"Sure, sweetie." She quickly recreated the ceiling and turned the soil back into my bed. Then she started coughing.
"Mom, are you OK?" Then, her face started flushing. I felt her forehead, and it was burning up. "Mom, you have a fever, you need to get into bed." She nodded, and I helped her to her bed. I felt her forehead again, and found it hotter. I was getting worried. "Mom, I'm going to call school to let them know that I can't come today. Then I'm going to take your temperature. OK?" she feebly nodded, and I called the school.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mrs. Fisher. This is Pricilla Andros, I can't come to school today."
"Oh, Pricilla. Why can't you come? Is everything alright?"
"No, Ma'am. My mother is very sick and I don't know what's wrong. I need to take care of her today."
"OK, Pricilla. I'll let your teachers know that you will be absent for today."
"Thank you, Mrs. Fisher."
"I hung up and got the thermometer to take my mom's temperature. When I got to her room, she was passed out. I quickly took her temperature to find that it was 105 degrees F. I quickly called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. When we got to the hospital, they took her into a room, and wouldn't let me in. I took that time to call Mike and Vanessa my best friend's parents, as well as my godparents.
"Hello?"
"Vanessa?"
"Pricilla? I thought you weren't allowed to use your cell phone during school."
"I'm not at school, I'm at the hospital. Mom has an extremely high fever, and I'm worried. Could you please come over here? I really need someone to lean on."
"Of course. I'll be right there. Don't you worry."
"Thanks." I hung up, and took a seat in the waiting room. A nurse came over to me with some papers that I needed to fill out. When I was about halfway through the papers, Mike and Vanessa came running in.
"Pricilla! How is she?"
"I don't know. Last I checked, she had a 105 degree fever, but that was before we came here. I'm so scared."
Mike and Vanessa engulfed me in a hug, and the tears I had been holding back broke free.
"Shhh, Shhh. It's OK. She'll be fine. Shhhh." Vanessa continued to comfort me while Mike finished the papers and gave them to a nurse.
~3 Hours Later~
A doctor came out of the room that they took my mom to. He showed me to the room where they had moved my mom.
"She is asleep at the moment. Her fever was very high. Do you have any idea how she got it?"
"No, Sir. She just came in to wake me up for school this morning, and once I was up, she started coughing. Then her face went red and she had the fever."
"Do you have a father or siblings?"
"Yes, what about them?"
"They might want to hear this."
"Sir, with all due respect, they don't deserve to know what's wrong. Neither my mom nor I have spoken to either one of them since my parents divorced, 10 years ago."
"Well then, I'm sorry to here that."
"Heard it a million times, so save your breath. What is wrong with my mom?"
"The fever caused her to become paralyzed from the neck down."
"What?"
"I'm sorry. She will live and recover, but she will never be able to leave her bed."
"Thank you for telling me, and for saving her life. Do you have any idea of when she can leave?"
"Maybe in a week. It all depends on her recovery rate."
"Thank you, sir."
"No problem." He left, and I sat in the chair by Mom's bed. After a few minuets, Mike and Vanessa came in, as well as Roxy(my other best friend)'s dad.
"How is she?"
"She's sleeping, but she's paralyzed from the neck down. She's going to need someone to take care of her, so I've decided to leave school to take care of her, I can take an online course."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
~one year later~
"I'm so sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences."
"I'm very sorry about the loss of your mother, she was a wonderful woman."
All of the apologies were the same;I'm sorry about your mother dying here, have a cookie to make it all better. Roxy, her dad, Bloom, and her parents all stood around me, almost like a protective barrier against the pain.
I moved in with Bloom, seeing as her parents were my godparents and guardians. I was glad that my mom's solicitor didn't try to find my dad for me to live with. That would've been impossible.
After Mom's death, I became a zombie. My friends and their parents tried to pull me out of my funk, but I wouldn't respond. Everything became a daze. I started dressing all in black, I dyed my light brown hair black, I stopped living the life I used to live. I would only seem a fraction like my old self when I would make or practice with my weapons.
~About a year later~
I woke up for breakfast one evening, and went down to the kitchen to find Princess Stella of Solaria asleep on the couch. Once she woke up, a hunter troll and ogre, along with a few ghouls smashed through the back door. Great.
I started fighting them and then Stella told Bloom to take the ghouls outside and take care of them. I knew that she wouldn't be able to alone, so I went with her. We killed half of them, then the ogre, Knut, disappeared with the rest, leaving the hunter troll. Stella and Bloom were on the ground, to scared to do anything, as the troll was going straight towards them. I rolled my eyes, and pulled out my magic sword. I had made it out of both my powers combined. I jumped up and landed on its back, stabbing its shoulder. Then 4 specialists appeared and one with purple hair threw his morning star, and it tied up the ogre. The others said something about him not being able to take on a troll by himself and swashbuckler camp. Guess they didn't see me piggybacking the troll with a glowing sword.
The next day, Bloom and I went to Alfea. In a way, I was glad, I needed to get out of Gardenia. It wasn't healthy for me to mope around all day long, besides school, and I saw my mom everywhere in Gardenia. In the park when I saw little kids play with their Mommies, when Vanessa made pancakes, everything reminded me of her.
AN: So, how do you like it?
Pricilla was the princess of Andros(where Nabu is from), but when her parents divorced, she went with her mom to gardenia. This was at the age of 6. She became friends with bloom after she saved Bloom from Mitsi(is that how you spell it?). They became friends with Roxy when she and Artu were running from dognappers, and they helped hide them. She hates her dad and is super pissed at Nabu. You will find out next chapter.
