6 The dream

Snow fell, slowly, oh so slowly. I caught a flake with my small hand and the cold crystal melted. I always liked to play in the snow. The small crystals painted the world white, so pure, so clean, I felt like it cleansed my heart. The cool white world was a wall between me and the war. A wall that held the pain from losing my mother at bay smiling I dropped to my knees picking the small white flowers that grew in the snowy valleys between hills called snow drops I would make a bouquet of them for the dinning hall for my birthday dinner tonight. To day was my 5th birth day

"…you must be strong…"

I looked up to the tall man who reached down to hold my hand his hand was much larger than mine.

"Thank you daddy. I'll have the garden blooming perfect when you get back to us." I said smiling my voice was high and young I used words that I was supposed to use at formal events or my 'big girl voice'. I knew why daddy was going away, the war was getting out of control and he had to stop it before the humans got hurt. They were short lived yes but they were also part of the ecosystem and as such had to be preserved.

His lilac eyes gazing down at me, but for some reason, he looked sad and distant. His smile was strained, but I could feel kindness and care. I stared at him innocently, oblivious to every event about to unfold. His grip tightened.

"…Live…"

He pulled me into his embrace. He wrapped me warmly, with his body. I felt safe, protected and warm. I snuggled closer, hoping to get more warmth, but was immediately disappointed when the contact was broken. I gazed at Father hopingly. Still smiling, he patted my head and walked away. I stared at his retreating back, wondering, when would he return? a young seven year old girl ran up, and took my hand our eyes met and violet smiled at me. I felt a smile of my own slip on to my face. violet was one of my best friends. she was also my older sister "come on Na-Chan it is time for our studies" her voice was as pretty as the snow. "Okeydokey let go" I chattered happily. When we got close to the study hall my older brother showed up. he walked along side us easily matching our slow walk. none of us really wanted to go to our studies. but we were going to behave at our best while daddy was away. in my dream we got older and older aging from five and seven to six and eight then to eight and ten then we were walking down the same corridor our paces were identical at ages nine and eleven. Our books under our arms we got to class and sat in our sits. Dad walked in followed by our teachers rushed up to our dad and gave him a hug. Again my memories flashed ahead .two mouths later when we left the big icy world to live in the mansion in the forgotten part of the world. Our tutors died from going mad and attacking one of us. For some reason even though we were doing all that we were supposed to we never were safe. Finally my older siblings and I promised that we would always help each other and guard each other. But then my brother betrayed me. Leaving me alone lost in the night when he went to the world of light. He left me and my older sister why did he leave us here? Why did he go? What should I do? Black snow fell onto my hair and shoulders I brushed it away. I liked snow, but my heart ached greatly, so I brushed the icy crystals away. Hot tears fell to my cheek. I reached up to face, feeling the water. I intended to wipe the water away too, but my hand was frozen. I was unable to wipe the tears. This ache in my heart, I knew it too well. It was grief. I was alone, abandoned again. As all ways father scent us here to keep us safe mother died to save my brother and brother abandoned me and violet all I ever knew of that was happy was in my earliest memories every thing turned black and some of the dream faded away
