A figure moved, just beyond her line of vision, her eyes were blurry and stung when they made contact with cold air, and her throat, felt as if it was burning.
"M, mother?"
Ume rasped out, her hand shaking as she reached for the shadowy figure.
She had been terrified when she had realized that the house was on fire.
She had first smelled the smoke, and panicking she had turned to find her mother, to warn her of the danger, but, she didn't know what had happened.
She only remembered a dull thunk on the back of her head, then there had been only darkness, and she knew not of what had happened.
"Ume!" The voice of her brother exclaimed as two larger hands gripped her own, "You're awake."
"Br, brother, is mother, alright?" She heard herself gasp out.
He didn't reply, and she felt a feeling of dread wallow into her heart.
"Brother, where is mother?" She asked, her other hand coming around to grip both of his.
"We can't do anything for your mother," Another unfamiliar male voice interrupted , "she was burned too severely and her lungs are almost dead. You two should go to her side."
Ume felt like all her breath had been crushed from out of her.
"No." She heard herself whimper.
"No, this can't be true. MOTHER!" She hated it when she cried, but she couldn't help herself as her tears spilled onto her kimono.
"Ume, do you want to come?" She heard her brother ask, she didn't want to understand what he meant, but in the end, she forced herself to.
"Lets, let's go bade, mother farewell."
