Impact

Chapter 1

The machine is slowing down. I hear her take 2 more breathes before letting out a slight wimper and handing me a small little box. "Open it when the time is right." Her voice is weak and scratchy. I bow my head praying for her life back and when I lift it up once again I hear her last breathe and grip on her hand gets looser till her grip is gone. A tear runs down my cheek and I flee the hospital room as I walk outside.

My eyes fill with water and I close my eyes and whisper " water rain down, for hear my sorrow. My gift of elements , I shall borow."Before I can even open my eyes, drops of water rain down on me as I sink to the floor, drowning in my tears. I pull it together and exit the road fleeing over to my house.

My mother and Father look almost as fearful as me. "How is Kyla?" Her eyes were kind and thoughtful. I sink to the ground and begin to cry and right away, my mother comes to my side as she wraps her arms around me and quietly whispers "It will be alright". Another tear slides down my cheek and I know I have to be strong. Don't cry, I say to myself. Just don't cry. I wipe the tears from my blurry eyes and I sniffle and sigh as I embrace my mom, trying not to cry.

I feel the wetness of a tear slide down my cheek as I wipe it on my hand so that my mother didn't see. "It's okay, my dear. It's okay if you cry.' And before I know it, I am sheding tears. But not just because of Kyla, but because of everything that has happened to me in the last 3 years.

You see, I have never seen my mother cry until my aunt passed away three years ago. And once I saw her sobbing on the floor, I swore I would never cry in front of her again. I have basically kept that promise, except for a few times I had to, but now I just couldn't hold back my mind was saying it's okay, just cry. And so I did.

My mother held me closer and squeezed me so hard, yet so gentle. "It's okay. Your here, and your safe." Her grip gets looser as her attention directs to the box Kyla has given me. "What is that?" My mothers voice was scratchy. "It is a box Kyla gave me before she passed. And I will only open it when the time is right. I say. She squeezes me harder and her breathes get warmer. And who knows when that will be.

Hey there readers! I hope you enjoyed the

first chapter of my book. I know it was short, but the first couple might be. Only because it is the beginning and I need to make sure the characters are introduced appropriately. There will be an update soon so stay tuned! Bye!
