Just a small story I wrote of the wandering daughter from Fatal Frame 3. I plan on doing another chapter from the mothers POV if this came out alright. I could have done better on writing the end though.
"Sweetie, where is your father?"
I couldn't look her in the eyes. I'm sorry mommy. She simply tilted her head down and shook her head, her mother's mouth pulling downwards.
I'm sorry. Daddy….fell.
"Let's go searching for him, alright? I'm sure he's here somewhere."
I smiled sadly.
No mommy, he's not here anymore. It's my fault. I'm sorry.
I couldn't tell her what had happened. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have thrown the ball so high. I shouldn't have been playing outside. Now daddy is gone.
I'm sorry mommy.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm so scared to tell you…
I didn't mean to.
I feel so bad. I ran into the corner to avoid my mother's knowing gaze. She…knew. She knew something had happened. I think she hates me…
Mommy doesn't know what I have done. But she knows something is wrong, and is trying to hide it from me. Her eyes are so red and sad looking. She looks so tired. I have caused her pain and I still can't tell her the terrible thing I have done. I run with my small worn out journal and hide in a corner. I have to tell someone my secret or I may explode.
sorry

my ball
and fell

Dreams…
I'm having such weird dreams…
My arm hurts…
I can't do this. This…pain. This coloring on my body. Like someone has taken colors and drilled them into my skin, but no one else can see them.
"A mansion…daddy, come back."
Daddy, come back…
Daddy…the ball…
I'm sorry…
Sorry…
I can't stay awake. I'm so tired. These bruises hurt me.
I'm going to the bad place I'm always told of. This is my punishment for daddy falling.
I'm sorry mommy.
I'm sorry.
I run into the mansion and hide, trying to quiet my sobbing so mommy doesn't find me.
Mommy is always in my dreams now. She was there occasionally, but now she's always here. She is so scared and keeps following daddy like me. She calls for me sometimes, too.
She always sleeps long like I do. She started after I did. I didn't mean to scare her. She said she followed me into the manor but that we have to leave. We don't know how. I don't care if we leave. I just want to see daddy so mommy can be happy again. I need to find daddy so mommy isn't sad anymore.
I need to tell her.
I can't though…
I'm sorry…
This place is scary. It's always so cold. I want to go back home but I keep seeing daddy. Why won't her stop for us…does he hate me that much?
It's always snowing and cold.
A…a lady…
She scares me…
She has marks like I do. Mommy pulled me away before I could look at her properly. I'm scared. But I want to bring daddy back too much.
I just want mommy happy again…
It's my fault.
All my fault.
I didn't mean to cause daddy to fall.
I'm sorry mommy…
Sorry…
I keep hiding from mommy. I don't want her to see me. She has the same markings as me. She calls it a tattoo. She's so sad now and chasing after daddy now. I can only hold her hand and walk along. She still doesn't know…
Sorry…
I'm sorry…mommy…
Daddy…
I have to follow him…
I have to set everything right. You're always so sad because of me.
It's my fault.
I promise, I'll try and fix it.
Sorry…
"You killed daddy!" I cry at the woman. She looks so surprised at me but mommy distracts her. Mommy is so scary when she attacks. She's covered in bad tattoos and always looks for daddy, grabbing onto strangers.
This is my fault...
'sorry…'
I run and leave mommy alone. She always calls for me when I run from her and hide. I run because I can't face her but I feel worse when I do. I can't help it. I caused daddy to fall. It's hard to look her in the face anymore.
Sorry mommy.
I'm sorry…
"Daddy!"
He's standing among many candles and shadows, other people I vaguely remember. I don't care. Daddy's here. And mommy is so happy now.
"I'm sorry!" I run to him and hug him but he isn't mad at all. He's just happy to see me and mommy.
"I got your ball." He smiles and hands it to me and I grab it from his hands. I'm so happy!
He takes mommy's hand and I walk beside him, following the other shadows.
I don't know where we're going, but we're together again.
That's all that matters.
