Every Hero Starts With Death

Bubbles was sitting alone...Sobbing as she curled up into a ball. She didn't know where she was all she knew was that it was quiet, dark, and empty. Her Mama and Papa were nowhere to be seen; along with her sisters. The last thing she could remember was hearing gun shots and her sister's touch and then a painful feeling in her legs and heart. Was she dead? Where are her sisters? And is her Mama and Papa okay? The more she thought about it the more she began to cry.

"Mama? Papa? Where are you?" She clenched her knees harder into her chest, she could feel the hot trail of tears slide down her cheeks and onto her legs. She was so scared.  

" Bubbles?!" Hearing her name Bubbles immediately sat up. She looked left to right yet all she saw was darkness, still though, she hoped that someone found her. 

"Mama? Papa? Blossom? Buttercup?" She began to take careful and slow steps looking around the darkness. 

"Papa!?" Bubbles called out again. 

" Behind you" Bubbles turned around faster than the sound of light. The tears from earlier came rushing down her face again. There was her Mama and Papa and they were perfectly fine. No blood. No gunshots. Just them completely healthy and fine. Bubbles began to run to them as fast as she could, although to her it wasn't fast enough. It felt like if she didn't hurry they would be consumed by the darkness and never come back. Bubbles ran into her mother's arm and when she did her mother began to twirl her around. Her father just stood there admiring his wife and one of his daughters. He couldn't help but think how lucky he was to have had them in his life. He couldn't help but love all four of his girls. 

"Mama! I thought you were hurt and you to Papa! I was so scared!"  She said in between sobs, her mother held her tighter, rocking her back and forth to soothe her. She does this often with Bubbles seeing as she always had been very emotional compared to her sisters. Often people found it annoying but Maria thought that Bubbles sensitivity was one of her best traits. When she got hurt Bubbles wouldn't hesitate to come to her Mama so she could hug her and tell her everything going to be alright. Bubbles had always been so open with her emotions and Maria couldn't help but admire her daughter for this. She wished she could be as open as Bubbles is. 

" Lisen my little Badosha" Bubbles quickly looked at her parents slightly glaring at them for using her name.

"Mama," Bubbles said in a stern voice, like her other sisters she did not like it when her parents called her by her name it just felt wrong.

"Hahaha sorry my little bubbly girl"

"Mabey we should have named them Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom instead of their actual names" Her father added with a slight chuckle. Her mother sat Bubbles back on the ground.

"Listen Bubbles what we are about to say might not be what you want to hear," Maria said kneeling as she held both of Bubble's Hands. Her father then kneeled next to his wife placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder. 

"But you have to promise sweetie that you will listen okay?" Her father added as he stared into Bubble's hazel eyes. A tear fell down her cheek, she didn't know why, but she knew whatever she was about to hear was going to cause a lot more tears. Bubble quickly nodded, trying not to worry from her parent's serious expression.

"Bubbles ever since you and your sisters were born.......you have been special.....and we wanted to be there for you guys when you learned how special you  were but....." A single tear slid down Maria's cheek...She couldn't finish the sentence, she just couldn't, but she had to. Brice put his hand on her shoulder.

"But it looks like we won't be able to Bubbles," Brice said, a little crack in his voice. He couldn't help it, the thought of his three precious children having to fight this battle alone. Maria let out a soft sob and Bubbles just stared at her parents. What were they talking about? How come they are so sad? At first Bubbles didn't understand but then suddenly it clicked. More tears began to rush down Bubble's face, she cried as if she was a newborn baby. Not wanting to see one of their daughters crying they both brought her into a hug.
