"Mom! I made something!" I joyfully yelled running to my mother "what is it sweetheart?" my mother said for once , cracking a smile. My mother is the only one who will go easy on me. My father wanted me to be like my siblings when I'm not remotely close to them. "It's a drawing!" I used to be so hyper when talking to my mother. "Let's see it bambina." I would show my mom the drawing. It was me, my father, sister, brother, and my mother I remember making her look the best.
"It's a gorgeous art piece sweetie." she smiled at me. I always loved my mothers smile. It showed that behind all the dark shady shit she did there was a good heart. Her smile was warm and true, you would know you were safe when she gave you her best smile. I miss those days.
she sat me on her lap and started to unbraid my hair from the previous day, "one day, you'll grow up to be a lovely women, and you'll do great things-" I interrupt her "like singing?!" I squeaked out making her laugh softly starting to undo my next braid "yes my love, just like singing" she says offering me a warm smile.
next thing I hear is a loud bang, following behind it is screaming and the sounds of hell breaking over. that struck panic into my mother as she grabbed me quickly and took me to a safe room setting me inside a closet in a room "baby i need you to stay here until I come to get you okay? i promise I will come and get you soon." she kisses my forehead before disappearing through the two big doors. hours maybe minutes later the whole house went silent.
thud.
thud.
thud.
someone's up at the door. i remember almost having a panic attack not breathing and trying to stay silent.
the doors opened and my heart dropped. it was a women. she had black hair tanned skin painted with blood on her. "hello young lady." she said in a rough sweet voice, "what are you doing here? why are you hiding in a closet?" she moves to touch my face, but i flinch away backing up farther into the wall. "I'm not here to hurt you. child." she stepped back standing up extending her hand out to me, "come with me and i promise i will protect and love you for as long as a live. i will teach you what is to be known and i will show you what reality is. come with me dear child." she says in a comforting voice. I took her hand. she helped me up and put me on her shoulders. "close your eyes my dear." she says before walking out the door, of course I close my eyes and i suddenly feel a cold breeze rush towards my face sending shivers down my spine,
I hear yelling and talking and people rushing around like crazy before being put in a car and everything went silent again.
