Ala
Ala smiled as she surveyed her reflection in the mirror;pale skin with light freckles dotted either side of her nose.She didn't like her freckles,people would say that they were kisses from fairies.She had recoiled at that.''There is no such things as fairys!''She had yelled.
at her mother,Mentiras,last night.Oh how she despised her mum with a passion.And to think,the only thing she had inherited from her mother,were her light green eyes and brown hair.
''Ala!''her mother shouted,''Please come down here..''She said that in a small voice,
this scared Ala,as her mother never showed emotion.''What is it mum?''She muttered.
''Your great grand mother Kaye past away last night''She whimpered.Tears were leaking out of her mothers eyes.''But how?''She whispered,''S,she just dropped dead''Mentiras sobbed.
It was 9'o clock,and Ala and Mentiras were sipping mugs of tea and watching TV when Ala broke the silence.''What time did she kick the bucket?''Asked Ala.''Oh,about the time when we had that argument about there being no such things as fairies''.
You see,Ala's mum often had her head in the clouds,always going on about fairies.Every single Godforsaken day of her life,fairys this and fairys that,it was driving her loopey.But her mother was as strict as hell, she absolutely hated her daughter, and let her know it.Ala would only recieve second hand clothes passed down from her mother,these were the only good labeled clothes she had,all the other clothes were just bought cheap,or if they had price cuts on them.
One day while Ala was sorting through old photos to put in the coffin, she found one of when her grandmother was young.But the problem was,it had been computer manipulated or something,because in the photo,her grandmother had tranparent silver wings.
