Chapter Twenty-One- 1913: Anberliegh
Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories of shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out
Far From Home: Five Finger Death Punch
My travels had led me back here again. I hadn't been in years and I felt guilty for not coming more often. Then again I felt guilty for coming as it was. I still felt I was responsible for what happen.
I looked at the clearing and the old tree stump surrounded by bushes that I hid behind as my mother was murdered. I could remember everything about that day with a perfect clarity. Except for her murderer.
"I wish I just knew who he was." I whispered as I knelt before her grave. The same rocks marked the spot where her ashes lay undisturbed. "I wish you were here mom."
I wish that there was a heaven, because I knew she would be there. I walked over to the old tree stump and climbed on it where I sat to wait for nightfall. Like I always did. I curled up in a little ball and started to breath slowly.
I forever love you, Enber.
I jumped awake. The sky was dark and the night air lightly blowing. I looked up and saw every star shining brightly then I heard it again.
I miss you Enber.
It was as if the wind was talking to me. Tears started to well up in my eyes as I tried to figure out if I was still dreaming.
No. You aren't dreaming darling. I heard behind me and flung around to see a faint image of my mother before me.
"Mom?" I asked and she nodded.
Enber, you have grown into a beautiful young lady. She said without moving her lips. Her voice was warm and caring.
I looked at my mother confused and she smiled.
It is the stars sweetheart, they knew you needed me. I wanted to hold her but I was afraid to move from my spot on the tree trunk. Afraid she would disappear.
Guilt filled me. She wouldn't be here if it weren't for me. She would be alive if it weren't for me.
Don't Enber. It is not you. You were a miracle and those people feared you that is why we hid. I never once thought they would actually want us dead, but life is never fully predictable. Just know I love you and no matter what anyone says it is not your fault.
I smiled at her. She always knew what to say to make everything alright. "Thank you." I whispered.
I have to go now sweetheart. Go back to Carlisle; he will need your help. And you always know where to find me, don't you Enber? I nodded. Good. I forever love you Enber.
"I forever love you mother." I whispered and like that she was gone. I laid there on that tree stump until morning, and then started the long journey back to Carlisle. He would indeed need my help. It was going to be an interesting few decades for him.
