A week has passed and today is the day Raven comes home. I'm pulled from my thoughts by a knock on my door, she's home! I think to myself, I open my door to...a guard?
My eyebrows scrunch, "yes?" I ask, "Um my queen my name is Kai Salvatore, I was the sailer on the ship which your wife took to the kingdom of Ebony to make some trades and deals.", I nod my head, "Yes, where is she!" I ask excited to see her.
The guard's head falls, "I am sorry for your loss, Raven was lost when the kingdom turned on us, it was a trap, I'm sorry my queen." He explains, my face falls and I shake my head, no...no" I say starting to cry when Estella and Mother arrive already crying, wrapping their arms around me as I fall to my knees, "NO SHE CANT BE DEAD SHE CANT..." I scream, crying wrapping my hands around my belly, "I'm so sorry sweetie." Mother says but I don't acknowledge it since it feels as if everything goes silent.
"What about me, what about Avonlea and this baby, I can't do it without her she was so happy to raise them together—to grow old together, to meet the baby," I say looking down at my belly.
Avonlea walks in, "What's wrong Mommy? Why are you crying?" She asks hugging me, "I'm so sorry Avonlea, I'm so sorry." I say kissing her head, "What happened Mommy? You didn't do anything bad." She says.
I shake my head, she looks around for Raven, "where's momma?" She asks as more tears fall from my eyes. I grab her tiny hands, "Momma isn't coming back Avonlea some bad people hurt her real bad—she's in the stars now princess." I try to explain but then again how are you supposed to tell your 4-year-old her other mother just died?
"Momma isn't coming back?" She says with tears in her eyes and her lip starts to pout, I shake my head, "No I'm sorry princess." I say and she hugs me, starting to cry. "We will get threw this my little...trouble," I say as my voice breaks at the last word.
We will.
