//------------------------------// // Returning Home // Story: Winter & Dagi // by Sparkling blaze //------------------------------// Snow's POV Its been a few weeks since I left home. It was a mistake I never should have left. I miss mom so much. But I miss Tify and Becca too. This is what they promised to protect me from. But it's my fault they're gone. I don't know what to do. I sit in the sidewalk,I'm so hungry,I'm so tired,I'm so cold,I miss mom,I miss aunt Sunset,I feel a couple tears drop. Then a cop car passing by stops,I wonder why. "Hey there."I hear one of the officers talking to me. I couldn't talk,I've been weeks without meds,I couldn't do almost anything.So I just look at the officer. "You ok?" He asks me. I just keep looking at him. "Are you Snow?" He asks me. I nodded. How does he know who I am? "I'm a friend of your aunt's." He takes out his phone and made a call. "Sunset I found her. Yes alive, where are you? I'll bring her there, see you soon." He hung up and looked back to me. "Can you walk?" I tried to stand up but couldn't. Then I shook my head. He walked over and picked me up and put me in his car. "We'll be seeing your aunt soon." I nodded.Soon I was at the hospital aunt Sunset worked at,she was waiting for us in the front. The officer got off the car and I think asked aunt Sunset for a wheelchair.Then he got me off the car into the wheelchair. Aunt Sunset looked really worried when she saw me. "Thanks Flash."I hear she thanking the officer."If she's that way only for a few weeks without her meds I don't wanna imagine how she'd be if we found her later." She then gives me a big hug. "Don't ever run off that way again."She tells me,her tone worried but firm."Let's enter,I need to do a check-up on you." She took me in he back and started doing a lot of tests. Then she started giving me IVs full of all sorts of things. I don't know what she gave me but I started feeling better after awhile. One of the times she came and checked on me I asked her. "Have you told mom I'm here yet?" I thought it was weird she hadn't come to see me yet. "Not yet but soon." She told me. "I wanted to make sure you were alright first. You know how your mom can get." She's right mom could overreact but I know she would still want to know. "Did something happen to mom?" Aunt Sunset's eyes refused to look into mine,something was definetly wrong. "I'll tell you after I'm done working and we're home.And I know you think your mom overreacts to everything Snow,but I'll tell you why she acts that way too." When she finished work and we went home,we both took a seat in the couch. "You know your mom has a drinking habit right?" I nodded. "The day after you ran away,when I went to work she intoxicated herself.She didn't die really because I found her.She's in coma." "She's what?" I asked. Nothing could have happened to mom. Everything was my fault. "She's in a coma."Sunset said again. "How could she have done this?" "You know she had a drinking problem right?" "Yeah, but it wasn't that bad." "Maybe when you left but after losing you she started drinking a lot more." "But I'm still here." "I know you are,Snow.But listen your mom's been through a lot and I don't know if she ever told you or your sisters but she knew your sisters were gonna kill your dad and she knew you were gonna kill your sisters,and knew you were gonna ran away."I didn't get what aunt Sunset was saying."I guess what I'm saying is she's not right but I get why she's acting this way and I'm gonna explain it all to you,it all began before your mom even met your dad...She was really different back then." She then explained to me everything about my aunts,about how mom raised them,about mom's visions,how mom and dad met,how mom started drinking,how Tify and Becca killed dad,everything. "Why didn't she ever say anything about it? "She didn't want you or your sisters to worry about her." "But if we knew something maybe we could have stopped it." "No one could have stopped it. It was a curse that caused it." "How can we break it?" "You can't." "Oh..."Now I got everything,my mom really wasn't overreacting she was just afraid."But mom will be ok,right aunt Sunset." "Yes,Snow she will be."I could tell she was not sure but I didn't push it any further and decided to go to bed as today was tiring.
