Memories

Chapter 24

  Bow walked invisibly until she reached Vaba's house, the only place in the world she knew she was welcome. She knocked on the door, just to find her paw sank through it, so she turned visible and knocked again. After a minute, Vaba opened the door. Bow didn't even wait for him to say anything, she just hugged him and cried. He picked her up and brought her in, then sat down on the couch. "What's wrong kitten? What happened?" He asked quietly. Bow just whimpered, she didn't feel like talking. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind and a black hole opened up in the living room. Dark jumped out of it and the hole closed up. Dark read Bow's mind and growled. "I'll kill them!" Vaba looked up, confused. "Who? What happened?"  "Can I tell him Bow?" Dark asked. Bow nodded. "Ok, her parents think she's Dylan and they were gonna hand her over to the group of devils who torture demons with that water until they either die or admit to whatever wrong they're accused of!" Dark was yelling by the end of what she said. "Oh... That's..." Vaba didn't know how to respond. He hugged Bow tighter. "You can stay with me kitten." He whispered. "Do you want me to kill them Bow? I will, you know I will." Dark asked hopefully. Bow still didn't feel like talking, and didn't think she could right now anyway, so she thought, "No... I don't want Arrow to have to deal with any more loss... You can hurt them though..." "Oh, ok... Yeah, I guess your sis is alright, but I'm definetely gonna hurt them. Be right back!" The black hole appeared again and Dark walked in it and disappeared. 

  Bow was sitting in bed, in a white and blue room. Pictures of her family were hung on the walls, and a variety of stuffed animals were spread on the bed and floor. She couldn't sleep, and wished her parents would come. Or even Arrow or Dylan. As if by magic, the door opened and her mom came in. "What's wrong honey? Why can't you sleep?" She asked, sitting on the bed. "I'm lonely... Can you stay with me until I sleep?" Bow asked. "Of course." Bow purred and layed down and closed her eyes. Her mom started singing a lullaby, which echoed in Bow's ears and dreams as she fell asleep. 

   Bow woke up, sad but also happy. One more thing to miss, but one more to remember good about her mom. She stared up at the plain white ceiling, wondering if she'd ever get that back. Then she was distracted by Vaba walking in with a plate of tuna. "I thought you might like this, Dark said you were awake now." He handed her the plate, it smelled really good. She took it and ate a bite, she loved tuna. "Thanks," She smiled. "I'm gonna come out there with you guys." Bow got up and walked with Vaba to the living room. "Nice to see you looking better!" Dark said, she looked happy and satisfied. Vaba started grinning too. "We've got a surprise for you!" Dark said with a big grin.
