I Become the Villainess Mother: Life in the Woods

Chapter 2: Erina

Erina's Pov:

After a nice long sleep I was awoken by the sound of the sound of chopping log outside as I open my eyes and look outside the-what my mama called 'tent'- and saw my mother chopping big wood

"Mama?" I called but flinch when I realize she is not my mother anymore

My mood drop but I tried not to show it as she stop at what she's doing and turn to me with sweet kind smile while her face is covered with sweats. She looks eternal

My heart tremble as I blush lightly. She looks beautiful and kind and also warm. I look at her shyly and fidget my fingers. No one shown me this kind of warm, it was strange but pleasing. I beam in my mind

'It was so nice'

"W-what are you doing?" I ask shyly

" Cutting some woods honey, I was building us home" she replied and wipes her hand with her clothes "Are you hungry?" She ask as I blush with her words

She's so gentle. Like a true mother

"A little bit Ms. Jane" I replied with a smile

I saw her flinch for some reason and look at me with a sad eyes and smile yet her smile show some 'i'm hurt' expression that got me confused and panic. Did I said something upsetting?? Is it because I suddenly called her Ms. Jane?? But it's uncomfortable to call her mama because she is not mama

She sigh and brought me some cookies. It was the cookies my mama and I brought when we decided to leave the kingdom

It was given to us by the old lady who help us escape so we won't be hungry on our way to the hidden village in the middle of the woods. She also gave us some fruits and vegetables in case the cookies is not enough yet we didn't got the chance to eat any of it when mama suddenly clutched her chest and fell cold in the ground

I clenched the hard cookies and start eating with an close eyes and then take a peek at Ms.Jane who return from chopping and sawing the woods. I can see her sweats dripping from her beautiful and serious face. Even when she's wearing some pants she was breathtakingly enchanting

*Crunch*

Mama is beautiful too like Ms. Jane. They look exactly the same but I can still see the difference about them

*Crunch*

Mama was called the cold beauty where I grow up before she decided for us to leave when my biological father who my mother say is a demon found us. While mama was a cold beauty,  Ms. Jane feels like an eternal fairy but not so inferior to mama

*Crunch*

My mama....she has always been the cold person that I sometimes think that she didn't love me. But she wouldn't beg Ms.Jane if she didn't love me right??

I sigh and stop eating, drink some water that I don't know where Ms.Jane got but looks clean and came to her tucking her in her clothes lightly

"Uhmm...Ms.Jane can I help?" I ask in a low voice

She smiled at me and told me to wear some pants too to be comfortable. If your curious about the pants, well we wear it as a disguised when we left our hometown. After I change she start telling me of what to do

She told me to put all the little woods she called 'nails' in the basket she made and then told me to twist the thin like thread from vines she made to make ropes. She teach me how to make ropes and then told me to make as many as I can.

As she start putting cut logs together to build a small house (more like a cabin) I busied myself in my twisting work. When lunch time came, Ms.Jane grill some fish she caught in a river not faraway from here also where she get water to boil for us to drink. After eating we take our time to digest then get back on what we are doing until midnight.

At night we ate and then after she brought me to the river to wash my face before sleeping, she tuck me in and sing me lalluby until I fall asleep

This routine rotated for two months straight. And in that months, Ms.Jane has successfully made 2 'cabins' of some sort and now trying to make some 'shower' and 'comfort room' (cr). It lasted another month to build as I decorated our new home.

The first cabin is our bedroom with three rooms. One for me, one for her and the last one is the master bedroom where we sleep together if I want to be with her. If you are asking why make another room just to sleep together if I can just go to her room or mama will go mine to sleep it is because we both treasured our privacy, if you want to sleep in our room then be our husband.

Anyway, the second cabin is the kitchen slash dining room and the living room. The comfort room and shower is beside the second cabin and it took Ms.Jane almost a year to finish the house and shower and cr as she move alone without help. But she didn't rest like she supposed to.

After discovering about the fruits and vegetables in my spatial ring she started to planting without rest. I know I should be worried because she's been exhausting herself but she looks happy and Ms. Jane is really a cutie when she's being excited so I let her and just help as long as I can.

I remember when she saw how I brought the vegetables out of my spatial ring, she's more like a child than me as she keep asking about magic. If magic do exist and how to control it or if she had one. Fortunately only mages and witches is the only one who can use magic but we can still use magic stones and enchanted items for our everyday life so it was not that bad. She was a bit dissapointed but still happy to know that magic exist.

"43, 44, 45, 46....."

I was brought back to reality when I heard some counting and saw Ms.Jane doing her weird work out, she has been doing it lately. She sometimes run around the house and lie down the ground and pull herself up and lay down again then she will lie facing the floor and raise her body but not before stretching, she called it exercising (run laps, pull-ups, push-ups and warm ups)

She also sometimes jumping and swinging in the tree branches then go back on farming. She also teach me things like farming, etiquette, writing, reading and martial arts and swordsmanship when I ask her to teach me.

But even though she was so busy everyday she never forgot to have time with me. We play, go on a picnic, cook and bake. She will go hunting and bring me along to teach me to hunt. It was the best days of my life. I never thought I will be this happy.

And although she never said it loud, I know she was sad that I don't call her mama so after almost 1 and a half year I decided to call her mommy or mom. She was so happy about it that she keep asking me to repeat it again and again and i will just laugh and repeat it. Everyday was full of happiness,  she will spoiled me a lot but also teach me not to be greedy.  And as I grow older,  her teachings became harder and new subjects was added like politics and faking facial expressions and yet the fun, love and warmth never left and only grew stronger
