Chapter8.Loneliness

"Hello Mara."Toko said.

"Oh.Miss Toko,hello."she said and bowed as her mother taught her to.

"No need for that Mara.Call me Toko.Why are you alone?"she asked.

"I needed a walk to clear my ideas."she said.

"I go for a walk."Toko smiled.Mara looked at her warningly.

"You can trust said,and extended her arm to her,and Mara took it.It felt so warm.

"So,why are you alone?Come on,you can tell me."she said.

"I...I had a dream in which I saw how dad,Karasuma.Sakaki,and Dojima were being hurt by the witches we hunted.I saw that it was my fault.Because of me they got hurt."Mara sighed.

"Dear child,whoever told you that is a complete jerk.Your father loves you very much.Although he never shows it,but deep inside him he loves you."Toko explained.

"But then...Why would they all ask me to overuse my craft when I'm not allowed to abuse this power?"she asked,anxious.

"Mara,they want to protect you.They want you to learn how to control it better."Toko said,caressing her hair.

"In my dream...I also saw dad wanting to kill me.The rest too.They were saying that all witches must die...And I'm one."she cried.

"Now,now Mara..Sweet girls like you don't cry.Amon would never ever hurt the ones he loves,especially his own daughter.I remember he had to do the same to Robin,but he could not do it.He loved her too much,and helped her to escape."Toko ended.

Mara looked at Toko with green,watery eyes.

"I'm..sorry,but I don't want the ones I love to get hurt because of me.I'd rather die myself."Mara said.

"Just like Robin.Sacrificing yoursef for others' lives.Mara, listen.There is a difference between dreams and reality,and if you learn to understand the difference,you'll understand your true feelings.Listen to your hear and do what you think is best,Ok?"she smiled.

"I...I'll try.Thanks Toko!"Mara hugged her.Toko was surprised.

"You're welcome.Now go back.Amon is very worried."Toko said.

Mara rubbed her tears,and went back to Stn-j.She wouldn't listen to that voice.It's all lies.When she reached there,everybody was worried.Amon came next to face her.He was angry.

"Where have you been?"he asked.

"A walk in the park.Why?"she asked.

"Never do that again,understand?"he said,hugging her.

"Dad...Let me go.I'm embarassed."Mara said,pushing away.

"Now Mara,why did you scream?"he asked.

"I had a bad dream.But no big deal.So,any work?"she asked,changing the subject. on,let's go home."he said,and they said goodbye,and left.When they were in the car,he asked her.

"Mara,tell me the truth."he said.

"Am I that bad at lying?"she smiled.

"Yes.Kind of."he said.

"I had a dream where I saw how all the team got hurt,and I realised it was my fault.Then,I saw you,Dojima,Sakaki,and Karasuma wanting to kill me,and you said that all witches must die,and you shot at me."she said.

"Mara...I'd never hunt you.Even if I was told to do it.I can't."he said.

"That's what you say now,but later you will do it."she said,sadly.

"No Mara.Not now not ever."he said,and drove home in silence.

When he opened the door,Mara went straight to her bed,and fell on it.

"No you don't.Go wash,eat dinner,then sleep."he said.

"Ummm.."she mumbled.

"Now."he ordered.

She got up,and went to wash.She had a shower,and wore her favorite pijama.It was with teddy bears on it saying I love you.It was white,and the teddy bears brown.

Amon was glad that finally something was light in color.Her onyx hair fell messily on her back.

"Goodnight."she said,and got in the bed.

"No dinner?"he asked,but Mara was already sleeping.He looked at her,replaying what she said.

'''All witches must die.'''she said.

"No."he said,and went on "Only bad witches must die."he said and went to sleep.

Time passed by quickly,and no threat was coming from anybody menacing.Mara was in holiday for Christmas.Everybody was busy buying Christmas decorations,and stuff like that.Mara loked at all the people buying things and enjoying.

"You know,I never felt how it's like to celebrate Christmas."she said,sadly.

"Look around you and see.Plus,I bet Dojima set up millions of decorations at the office."Amon replied.

"That's not what I meant."she answered.

"Then what did you mean?"he asked.

"I want to know how it feels like to have Christmas in family...Next to the tree,and warm fire."she said,slowly.

He was silent.Mara went on.

"All my life,I never had a real Christmas in family.I've never enjoyed the gifts with the parents in the morning.I spent my Christmas alone,on the streets.People took me for a beggar."she said,smiling in hurt.

"I'm sorry.If only your mother was here."he said,sighing heavily.

Mara looked at him.

"Dad...Do you miss mother that much?"Mara said.

"Yes.I do.I hope she'll forgive me for what I did when..At that time."he added.

"Sometimes I feel jealous of those people.They are content with their happiness,and they don't think about others who are suffering with pain deep down.They only think about themselves."Mara said,looking in the glass of a shop.She saw her own reflection,and Amon's,and she thought she saw her mother.Yes..It was her...Two buns tied up,with hair falling from the sides,and the usual black dress.She seemed tired an happy.

"Mother..."Mara said,and snapped back to reality,wehn Amon hit her shoulder.

"Mara,I've called you for an hour now.Where have you been?"he asked,and she turned to see where her mother was a few minutes ago,but no one stood there.

"Mara,let's go.It's late."he said.

"Mother.."Mara said.

"What?Where?"Amon looked,but saw nobody.

"Mara,you are killing yourself.She isn't here."he answered.

"But I saw her!Just there!A few minutes ago.I swear!"she cried.

"You're on."he said,and they left.

As they were walking,Mara swa that figure again.She looked up at Amon,and stopped.

"Sorry dad."she said,and closed her eyes.She said a few words,and everything stopped moving,and Mara imobilised the whole people.She set the exact time to let the people start walking again.

"Mother!Mom!"she yelled.She heard a voice behind her.

"Good job daughter.You learned how to control this use."Robin smiled.

"Mom!Mom!"Mara yelled,and ran to hug her.She felt so real,but Mara knew she was an illusion.

"I've missed you mother.Father misses you too."she said.

"I know.I still can't come back."Robin said,caressing Mara's hair.

"Why not?I want a nice Christmas in a family for once."Mara cried.

"I can't.Not yet."Robin replied,with hurt.

"Why?Is it because of me?Di you give me to adoption because I was using my powers unintentionally to cool thing down?"she asked.

"Never sweetie.I did that because I was followed by men from Solomon.I had to have you safe.That's why.But I see you couldn't resist to come see your father.How is he?"she asked.

"Come see for yourself.Please.Even if it's just a bit..."Mara pleaded.

"I must go.Take care Mara."Robin said,and disappeared.Mara stopped everything,and everyone started moving again.Amon came to Mara.

"What happened?"he asked.

"Nothing."Mara said,and they headed towards the car.
