The Start- Chapter 1
" Waaa!!"
"Welcome to the world, there's a long journey ahead of us." whispered Luella in a gentle voice
4 years later...
"Mama!!" Shouted Rowan running towards the kitchen.
"Mama, mama!", Screamed Celeste in unison with Rowan.
" Awwe, are you both hungry?" Asked Luella in a soft tone.
"Mhm, mama mama, what food is there to eat?" Asked Celeste.
"Hmm, as you know, mama loves to make different dishes from different cultures. So, today we shall have..a dish called tteokbokki!" said Luella in absolute delight.
" Tteokbokki?" said the twins in confusion.
" Yes, tteokbokki, it's a Korean dish made from rice cakes, fishcakes, and Gochujang which is a spicy paste." Replied Luella with a slight giggle.
The kitchen was quiet for a moment before Rowan broke the silence," Hmm..tteokbokki huh, it sounds weird and the ingredients sound odd."
" Ehh, is that so? Hmm, I shouldn't be to surprised since this is something that should have been expected." Luella said in a shocked tone at first.
After a long pause, Luella continued," It's time to eat my dear children! Make sure to clean your bowls well, alright?"
" Yes Mama!!"
3 years later....
" Rowan, Celeste, come and eat!"
" Coming Mama!" I said cheerful as ever.
" Alright." Said Big brother.
We all gathered around the table to enjoy the food Mama had made, it tasted warm, flavorful as it usually does. Yet, something made both my brother and I uneasy. It was Mama, she looked pale, tired, and it seemed as if she had lost all warmth that her body held as of recently.
"Ma—" I said before I was interrupted.
" Ugh-" Mama exclaimed
" Mama, are you okay? You seem sicker than usual." Asked Brother.
" Mhm, mama, you need rest." I added.
" I'm okay really— Kugh–!!" Mama was interrupted by a sudden vomit of blood.
Thud.
"!!!!"
"Mama!!!"
Mama had collapsed after vomiting blood, brother and I had gone up to check on her. We put our head on her chest to hear if her heart was pumping.
" Celeste, hold up Mama while I check if she's okay." Said Brother.
" Okay!!" I exclaimed in agreement.
"...Mama....She's not breathing and I can't hear her heart..." Brother said.
The room was silent, our hearts were beating rapidly, it seemed like the whole room was made out of our heart beats. But, Mama's was nowhere to be found.
" B-brother...Hic...Hic..." I broke up as I spoke.
" Celeste, M-mama can't....She wouldn't...Hic..hic.....hic" Brother said in a broken voice.
Brother and I started to cry, we had lost our mother, the sun, our hope, in the snap of a finger. We were terrified of what had happened, we were terrified of what would happen to us, would we die? Get locked up? Adopted into a terrible family? Sold off? What would happen to mother? What happened to mother?
