Those Days...

Chapter 1 Tears

There were three of them, kicking and punching my mother. Now she's pale, cold not a single breath left in her. She sacrificed herself for me and my sister, Rose. Both me and my sister were named after my mother's favorite flowers, Violets and Roses. Yes Violet is my name, I used to love it but now it only reminds me of my mother's death. I see Rose crying, tears trickled down her beautiful face. The men who killed my mother are a part of The Hype, the most cruel business in all of the town Chemical. My hometown was named that after the explosion that killed my father. Now I'm left as an orphan with my sister and brother. But I dare not tell anyone, or else they would send me to the horrible orphanage where many children cried themselves to death in. I sit next to Rose and my dead mother, I am still just eleven so of course I cried. Hugging Rose I think about what will happen next with no food nor money it seems very little chance of survival. Our house was torn apart, the men didn't want us to start off easy. Rose and I drag my mother dead body outside, leaving a red bloody trail behind. I see my uncle in the distance, sitting on a rock praying. There were no graveyards in Chemical, you were suppose to bury the person where they died. I saw my uncle had already dug the grave and surrounded it with violets and roses. I look at my mother's pale, lifeless face for the last time, one of my tears land on her face, as if she was also crying. I kiss her cheek and whisper a prayer into her ear, my mother was a good woman, everyone in town loved her. She is gone now! I whisper to myself as I help my uncle place her in the grave, "one last kiss from all of us just one!" I say to my uncle as he agrees. I look at my mother's beautiful face, she wasn't the makeup type but even if she's as beautiful as the sunset. I kiss her soft, cold cheek and signal to my uncle to bury her now. Tomorrow is a new day, A better day, my father would say on the days we don't have enough food to eat. I feel my tears running down my face, I have nobody now, my sister probably hates me. I know why though, it was me who went to the office of Hype complaining and shouting at them for making us pay for things we didn't even buy. They pick me up and take me home and throw me on to the window, shattering the glass...and my heart. The men say that they will kill me for ruining their company, that's when my mom sacrifices herself. The rest is too scaring to talk about. I do love my uncle, but he will never be able to have enough money for me and my sister. He also has a family, two kids a wife and his mother. I look at my sister to see her glaring at me and in my heart I know I should've been the dead one. I look at the sunset, and I feel as if it is my mother looking down at me for the very last time. My uncle looks at me frowning, I know he's mad, I know everyone's mad!! I wish I can go back in time, from when we were rich and my parents were alive. I loved those days but I know they're never coming back.
