What's up, everybody? Scorpion here bringing you another chapter of A Mother's Love.
Yeah, I know, when I said later today, I didn't mean THIS late. Sorry. The meal I had was pretty big, it took me all day to finish. (Lie, I was editing this chapter. Plus I forgot after I was done. :P)
Technical stuff: The girl, aka Rosalina, and the Lumas belong to Nintendo. Like I haven't told you that already.
On with the show. Chapter 14...
The Light in the Horizon
"I'm sorry," the little girl cried as the ship landed on a nearby asteroid automatically, "I left you all, worried and scared, and couldn't even find the young one! I never should have taken my eyes off him! I should have told him to stay on the ship! I never should have left you, any of you, alone!"
The little girl cried in to her hands. She never felt this kind of sadness before. She didn't know what to do. "I wasn't good to any of you at all and I am so sorry. I promised to watch over you... to protect you... but I j-just..."
Her cries echoed in the small craft. It was so loud that it woke up a luma that was in the cubby hole. The red star child flew slowly towards his Mama, confused about why she was crying. He though he was in trouble, that he did something wrong, and began to cry too.
For a moment, both the young girl and the little red luma cried in near unison. Finally, the young girl noticed the other voice and turned around. Her sadness turned in to overwhelming joy as she grabbed on to the young luma, putting it in a tight embrace.
"Where were you?!" the young girl cried between sobs. "I looked everywhere for you!"
"I hid from you in the cubby and fell asleep," the young luma said, teary eyed and confused. "Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, Mama."
"No," the young girl said, trying to calm herself down, "I was just so worried about you. We all were." After saying that, the young girl held the luma for a while, relieved that their game of hide-and-seek was finally over. The luma, though uncomfortable from the tight squeeze, happily accepted her embrace.
While she held him, something laminated the ships control room. The little girl looked out the star-shroom's window and saw that the source of the light, though far away, was from the beacon of the Observatory. She realized that the lumas are calling for them and hoping for their safety. That reminded her of how much she met to them. Even when she makes a mistake, big or small, they would still be there for her. She is their Mama, after all.
"What do you say that we go back," She said with renewed spirits. "The others are waiting for us."
The red luma agreed with a nod as she prepared the ship to go home…
A touching ending for a touching chapter. But, as we all know, nothing in live is THAT simple. What was that? 'What do I mean by that?' Well, remember why this started started? "To present a theory?"
I haven't gotten to that part yet. You will just have to stay tune to the next chapter to get the details. It might even be another double upload...
