CHAPTER ONE The day she died.
[Rinoa's POV]
The day my mother faded away from existence, was unlike any other. I was only 6 then but I could remember ever detail of it.. Mom and my
father were arguing again. I always hid in my special hiding place (in the secret cove inside my closet) with my only two friends, Angelo
my puppy and light blue chocobo doll my mom gave me on my first birthday. Father was never home he was always out on business or at
the local pub. And when he did ever come home he was always drunk and they always argued about the same thing...me. I never could
understand why they where arguing. when daddy wasn't drunk they seemed so happy. I asked mommy that question and she just told me
he was two different people. I didn't like any sides of him anyways. Especially when he became violent. Mom always told me to be quiet
in my hiding place and don't come out until she comes and gets me. Usually after a hour she would come and rescue me into her arms. I
fell asleep in my closet crying endlessly. The loud rain was becoming more violent and fierce. I always found it hard falling asleep without
Angelo and choco( the name of the chocobo doll). They where the only comfort I had without mommy by my side to protect me. I woke
up to a big boom on my closet door, as if someone has been slammed against it. I gripped Angelo's collar tight and squeezed onto choco,
Thinking of the worse possible ideas that made that big boom from the other side of the door. After a little silence my mom opened my
closet door. It was too dark to see her face but I knew she was crying. The rain poured harder. She whispered to me that it is going to be
alright and not to worry. I just nodded. She told me to get up and put my coat and shoes on while she gets our bags. She kept pre-packed
luggage of our belongings for nights like this. I knew father left to the pub again, and come back anytime. While mommy was helping me
put on my shoes I asked her where are we going, she was silent for a little and said I don't know sweety..but don't worry that man won't
find us. I forced a smile hoping she was right. She took my hand and our bags and went to the car. She took one last look at our mansion. I
saw a tear rush down hear cheek, and it started to rain again. We hurried inside our little car. Mommy secured me into the backseat.
Angelo was there sitting on my lap as I hugged choco. The rain calmed down into a slight drizzle. Mommy started the car and. She
stopped for a second and reached for her purse. She pulled out a white envelope and gave it to me. She said all your questions should be
answered after I read this.. But she told me I couldn't open it yet until my birthday of being a young adult. I nodded and put it into my little
backpack. She sighed and drove off into the main street. As I watched the street lights flicker by as my mother drove, I could see a new set
of lights on the black pavement. My heart grew with fear not knowing who the car behind us was. But I knew it was him...the devil
himself...my father. With the thought of him, tears started to stream down my chocolate eyes. The slight drizzle returned into a storm.
Mommy told me to stop crying. I shut my eyes real tight trying to stop crying. I couldn't stop. With each try to stop crying it came more rapid
and so did the rain. Angelo started to whimper. Mother reached her hand to the back seat and rubbed my hand for comfort. Tears still
rushed down my rosey cheeks, I could hear the truck behind us powering its engine. I felt a big boom and mom lost slight control of
the car. Then another, and another, until mommy lost complete control of the car and spun off and hit a light poll. She hit her head on
the steering wheel. The lights of the car flickered once and turned off. Complete darkness. I checked if Angelo and my chocobo doll was by
my side. Luckily Angelo wasn't hurt and neither was I. But choco had stuffing coming from it, And mommy's white coat turned red. The
rain poured and poured more with the more redness from mother's coat. My eyes filled with tears making me almost blind of sight. I
knew that mommy was fading. Fading away forever. Never comming back. With that thought I unbuckled my seat belt and squeezed myself
between mommy and the steering wheel. I looked at mommy she wasn't complete gone. I could hear her heart beat slow as I hugged her
tight. She tried to speak. Her mouth formed the shapes of the words "I love you..Rinoa" the rain came down more and so did the tears
dripping off my little chin. Her heart was beating slower, and slower with every quick second. Her last words was "ill always be with you
sweety"..she reached into her coat's pocket and pulled out a silver chain with a ring on it. She put it into my hand and said "wear it
tomorrow, and the next day...just wear it always, it will protect you from the pain......she tryed to make out the last words but her body
wouldn't let her have enough air to complete her sentence. I shook her as hard as a could and kept whispering..no..you can't leave me
now..not with "that man". My tears began to get more thick. They didn't taste like regular tears, they tasted different, I wiped my eyes
and I could see a red substance from my hands. I wasn't cut or mommy wasn't turning my hand red... I was....crying blood. I was so
scared, scared of what was happening to me. I crawled back to the back of the car and hugged Angelo and choco.. I curled into a ball
beside them letting my new crimson tears fall upon my beloved chocobo doll. I carefully took off my back pack without trying to
move from my position. I pulled out a blue pouch and put the silver necklace inside. Replacing the pouch into my jacket pocket. I turned
my miniature back pack into a pillow for me and Angelo. Crimson tears still poured from my chocolate brown eyes, yet falling asleep
with the dying rain. I just laid there reviewing the horrible events from that night. The next morning I woke up in a all white room. I felt
something heavy around my neck. It was the necklace I put in the blue pouch. I remembered my mothers face forcing to smile, but
nothing came only tears of sorrow. I got out of the hospital bed and looked at the chair. Where I found my chocobo doll and Angelo. I
picked them up and climbed back up the bed. Got comfortable and fell asleep once again for the third time that night listing to the rain.
