The King's concubine

Chapter 8: The star

Mei pov ..

After the  night's events , I decided to spend the night in my shop,  I was happy and heartbroken but mostly every thing in me was filled with hate .
I hated this day ...

After talking a  bath and taking my long night dress, I walked back to the chair that I sat for the whole day sewing and sighed sadly,

I haven't eaten the whole day that's the first thing I realised when my stomach growled and I had no appetite after all the encounters ,

It was  after midnight , I stood up and walked to the window and stared outside. The darkness covered the entire place and the crimson-black moon had already dissappeared.

It was all silent , the whole village is  after getting exhausted . I haven't seen my sister nor my mom after everything  that has occured .

A little ceremony was heard  that the shifters celebrate like always , explaining what they went through and how they feel about all the ordeal . Some of them couldn't even talk becuase of getting traumatized.
But they managed to stay and breath the fresh air with the others thankfully that they made it .

I couldn't even think straightly , after the whole  event took place . I ,just like many others sat and watch until it was time to take a rest .

Sighing , I closed my eyes and thought of my family . My mom, Alessia and then dad .
Why didn't we have a stable family ? I envy the girls and boys who walk with their parents every day to the market, smiling and shopping together like humans .
When I opened my eyes , my eyes came into contact with a shiny star that blinked  and  is shining ,

I gasped and look at it again , I thought I was dreaming . " it looked so beautiful and top of all  , since we were cursed with the  goddes of star it's rare for us to get any of these .. "
In which this star means that good days are awaiting ahead of us .

Quickly I closed my eyes , " And begged the goddes to forgive our sins , and make every one in the village free of all the miseries , free from poverty thought the king is trying his best and withhold a strength and bond  that will make us all be  together and love one another in the whole pack .

I didn't forget to ask the goddes to help me attain my dream of becoming a famous and the most talented seamstress of all time .
Opening my eyes , The star wasn't there anymore .Meaning it has disappeared and it has heard my wishes ,

Or not ... My subconscious chimed making me sigh sadly .
Closing my windows , I took a pile of boxes that were in the corner of the room and slept uncomfortably ,but peacefully with a small smile on my face .
Thank you goddes , I chided before sleep took over me .

Mei ... Mei .. darling !
I heard a whisper in my ear , Mei ... I heard a whisper again which made me jolt up awake and look at the person
A tear left my eye when I saw the face of the person that I yearned for ...

Dad .. I whispered and raised a finger to touch his face , he smiled warmly at me his green eyes sparkling .

I stood up and nearly dropped when I felt I stepped on nothing only to find out they were clouds , ?
Where is this place ,? That's the first thing I asked looking around ,

Darling .. it's me your father ...
He whispered taking my attention and look at him,
I hug him hard and cried on his chest , his warmth , his smell .. his voice ..

Everything about him is the same .

I missed you so much my little Mei , I could feel his emotions through his voice .
I carried on crying .. please come back home ,

Mom and Alessia are lost without you, i hold into his white shirt matched with his white  pants .
I .. I can't  ! He whispers taking me by surprise and I moved back,

Why not, ?
Y.. you are family  , don't you want us anymore ? I ask with painful tears that streamed down my eyes .

I love you all so much, i will always do .... He says with a heartbroken voice and bent his head , closing his green eyes  and dissappeared out of nowhere ,
I got confused as I saw his shadow dissapearing , leaving me confused and with un answered questions .

Dad !!
Dad !! I yelled and woke up out of breath and sweating profusely .

Dumbfounded, confused I look at my surroundings only to see myself in the shop. I broke down crying and putting my hands on my face tiredly ,

It felt so real , I saw him . I saw dad .. I saw him .

He looks just the same ... I .. I have to tell mom .I have to tell her and. Alessia that he loves them both , he still does .
Standing up on the boxes , I wiped the tears that painfully continued to leak , I got into the bathroom after a moment of thinking and started my day .
The sun is shining brightly , litting up every part of my little shop .

After taking   a bath, I took one of the many old dresses that I had dumped in a bunk and put it on and walked outside directly home .

I saw some people who  have started their days , walking here and there ..
I stepped inside the house and saw Alessia in the kitchen ,
Oh you .. ? She asks with a sneer in her voice ,

Nodding my head , I asked where is mom , ?

I don't care, she trailled off and pushed me off walking past me .
Where are you going Alessia,? Don't you want some tea , ? I will be making some right away , I smiled a little convincing  her to stay ,

Fine ! She huffed out frustrated and went inside our room .we have been sharing a room since the day that we were born. But it turned out more like hers , she transformed it into her own designs and I couldn't say a thing about that .

It was a small room with two beds , rough wooden floor , with a little closet and a small table with a mirror and the other room used to be our parents's  with a little kitchen after the entrance and a a dining room connected with it .

I eyed her before she entered the room and saw she looked so pretty wearing a traditional red dress , with slit on both sides that hugged her body gracefully .
Her hair is tied down , and her face looked a little mature . She is glowing .

Forgetting that I had an injury on my hand , forgetting that my sister caused and didn't care about it I started making breakfast .

Boiling the tea , making boiled eggs , cutting some healthy vegetables and walked out looking for some bread .
After buying it, I came home only to find out that Mom and Alessia were eating the eggs and sipping tea .

Good morning , I greeted swallowing the lump in my throat .

I didn't get any reply , " And where were you last night , ?" Mom's high pitched voice startled me as I cut the bread ,
I was in the shop . I needed to finish ..
Ahh okay , to hell with it ! She huffs .

I gave them the breads and put some vegetables on their plates sweetly and sat on my chair joining them quitely ,
On the corner of my eye , I saw Alessia eyeing something on the table .

Following her eyes , I saw what she is looking .
My injured hand ...
"Does it hurt ,?"  My heart wanted to burst out with joy ,

"They care ..."
