Chapter 5
Snow PoV
It's been three days after our first meeting. It's been fun playing with Jamie and Sophie, and with Jack almost all night. We went to our separate ways after Jack exclaimed that he had to bring winter to Scotland and whatnot. So I decided to spend the day just floating around houses, watching little kids played in the snow. I wasn't in my playful mood so I just looking from afar. I was laughing at some kid who got his face full of snow, threw by his sister who was laughing loudly and slapping her knee - apparently the snow went inside his jacket – when I felt a gentle tug in my chest. I stopped laughing abruptly, surprised by the strange feeling. It was the feeling where you know you're needed. I tilted my head sideway in confusion before deciding to follow the tug. Well, I'm curious about it anyway.
For about an hour I followed the tug and it became stronger, so I let myself to give in to the pull. After a while I felt the pull tugged quite hard against my chest that I blinked and then stopped. I no longer feel the pull but something's telling me to follow my instinct which was instructing me to come inside the house the tug pulled me to.
It was a two stories house with white and blue paint and cute little garden with brown fence and a medium sized dog house on the side. I went in and looked around. I was in the living room, watching pictures with a family of three, when I heard faint sound. It was from the second floor. So I walked upstairs and found a white door to the left. It was where the sound came from. In my position just five steps from said door, I recognized the sound as a child crying. A hearts wrenching sobs that most likely shook his/her body. So I quietly open the door, which thankfully didn't creak, and went inside only to be met by saddening sight.
A little girl no more than 8 years old was sitting on her bed with her arm hugged her folded legs and her head touching her knees. She was crying uncontrollably and her small shoulders shook under the force of her sobs. She was constantly murmuring "why"s into her legs.
Oh gods, what's happened to you that made you weep this hard, little one?
I walked to the bed slowly so that she wouldn't be so scared. She didn't realized me yet so I dared to sit on the edge of her bed and softly rest my hand on top of her head. I guess she realized that she's not alone anymore and lifted her head. To my surprised, her eyes immediantly found mine. Her beautiful green eyes filled with surprised and then fear.
Well, I didn't want to be feared, so I softly rub her head. She still looked at me with surprised expression. Then she started to relaxed her previously tense muscle as my hand kept treading through her short red hair. I kept my hand on her hair for a while longer and asked her the question.
"Do you feel better now?" I asked her softly.
She nodded slowly. "W-who are you? How did you come in?" she tilted her head in confusion.
I smiled - so cute! – "My name's Snow Belle, call me Belle, and I used the front door of course."
She smiled shakily, "M-my name's Emy. I'm 7 years old."
"Nice to meet you Emy. Now, do you want to talk about it?" I smiled.
Kids like to be given a choice.
Her smile fell and a sad look crossed her eyes.
"….."
"It's okay if you don't want to. I won't force you to talk." I smiled at her and rest my weight on my hands that I put on the bed behind me. I looked up to the starry ceiling, which I assumed painted by a fluorescent paint.
It's been quiet for 10 minutes or so when I heard soft sniff and even softer voice, "M-mummy's sick. Mummy said I'm going to be big sis very soon. Mummy's belly is sooo big! I'm so happy! I wish it's a girl, so we can play braid together. I don't mind a boy though, I can be the best big sis he'll ever known!". Her voice slowly grew excited and her green eyes twinkling cutely. I can't stop the smile on my face. She's just so cute!
Her eyes dimmed and her smile faltered. "But last week Daddy said Mummy had to stay in hospital because of early contra- constra- contract something. It was fine at first. Then, Daddy looked so scared he even cried – Daddy never cried!- Daddy told me that…that….M-m-mummy had to go. That Mummy's in heaven now. I know that, but…but…I missed Mummy!" she cried into her pillow.
I frowned and put my arms around her and pulled her into me. She let go of her pillow and buried her face into my chest and cried while I speak sweet nothings into her ear.
"Ssshh….it's okay. It's gonna be okay."
I hugged her. While doing so, suddenly I felt something growing in my chest, centred in my heart. It honestly gave me goosebumps. When I 'touched' the feeling, it felt cool. The longer I held Emy in my arms, the feeling in my chest grew stronger and stronger. Just when I can't hold it anymore, I felt the feeling filled my heart until it felt like going to burst and burst it did.
The feeling exploded out in a shower of snowflakes and silver sparkles around me and Emy. Then I felt the wind shifted and blew the snowflakes and sparkles around us and when it all cleared, the view of Emy's room was no more. Instead it was the view of a clearing full of snow with a woman in green sundress standing on the centre of the clearing. She has brown hair, and green eyes. She has the same nose, cheekbones, and chin as Emy.
Her mother.
As soon as Emy landed her sight on her mother, she smiled softly. Emy stifled a sob and ran toward her mother. Emy tackled her mother in a hug where her mother kneeled and embraced her daughter.
"Emy, my sweet, beautiful Emy. My pretty little princess. I missed you so, so much my daughter." Her mother – Karen - said as she hugged her daughter hard.
"Mummy! I missed you so so much!" said Emy as her cry turned into full sobbing.
Karen turned her eyes and met mine. "Thank you." She mouthed. I smiled and nodded. I turned around to give them privacy.
As I turned around, I saw something in the corner of my eyes. To my surprise, it was a white bunny with green eyes. It tilted its head and hopped closer toward me. As it came closer, I kneeled and offered it my right hand. It sniffed my hand for a second before hopping even closer and snuggled my hand. I had to resist my squeal and settled with cooing over the cute bunny.
(Congratulations, yeah! You've reached the healing plane! That's good. With time, you'll learn your power. Also, from now on, I'm your guide. My name is Yuki! Really nice to finally meet you, un!)
Unexpectedly, it talked. In my head. A talking bunny. And apparently the bunny was a he, and he was so excited based on the cheerful greetings and his practically twinkling green eyes. He also has this cute verbal tic. I can no longer hold my own excitement and scooped the bunny – Yuki – into my arms and cooed and hugged him for all his worth.
(Gah! Urrk..! Calm yourself down woman! Seriously, un. I know I'm quite adorable but no need to hug me to death. Geez…)
I giggled, "I'm sorry. You're just too cute, and I have been fond of bunnies since ever." I said to the super-duper-extremely-cute-bunny-named-Yuki.
Yuki sighed almost resigned. I smothered down another batch of giggles that threatened to burst out of my mouth and rubbed my cheek to Yuki's super soft white fur.
Ooh, sweet fluffy bunny. I giggled and kept rubbing my cheek to Yuki's fluffy little ears.
I giggled.
Yuki sighed, defeated.
