I tried to hide my broken arm as much as possible. I couldn't risk my mom getting all worked up one it. It still bleeds slightly but I just wore long sleeves.
But of course, she found out as soon as I stopped fighting and using magic.
I told er I was fine, and that isn't anything big. She took off the bang ages and saw that parts of the bone were still sticking through. She grabbed me and carried me in her arms.
The room started spinning.
"Moma I'm dizzy." I sigh.
"It's from all the blood loss." She says.
Then the world goes black.
~~~
"Please help me!" A woman screams. I open my eyes to see my mom. "She has broken her arm!"
"Broken arm?" A man laughs. "You should just chop it off." He had a black beard and green eyes and wore a white coat with red splotches on it.
"I can't she's a witch! Her magic could be lost! And there is no way to stop the blood from falling out after that!" Me mom protests. Can't argue with, 'even more blood loss' logic.
"Witch? Don't you know the rules? All witches have to go to work no matter in what condition."
"She got hurt working at those horrible mines." She yells, not knowing the actual truth.
"Horrible? They are liking for water! We are all dying here!" He coughs.
"Well she's dying! Please doctor help her! My pour little Red is dying of blood lost!" My mom repeats.
"She has to go back to the mines!"
"No she can't!"
"Then she has I be brought to the palace."
"No please fix her arm so she can at least live to see the day where there is too much water to even deal with!"
"No. That little girl is nothing but waisted water. She will be executed before her arm is even fixed."
"My daughter deserves to live you monster!"
"The queen has decide no more kids! You'll both be executed."
"You have to help us!"
"Sorry lady not happening!" The man declares. I feel my mom run out into the rainy streets.
"My dearest Red." She smiles. "It'll all be ok. You're arm will be fixed and you will go back to being a normal kid. I promise."
"Moms it hurts!" I screamed with a cry.
"I know baby." She hushes. "Sh..." She rocks me.
"HEY YOU!" A guard shouts. "IS THAT A CHILD!"
"Oh no!" My mom screams and begins to run away, into the woods.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" The guards followed her.
"Moms what's happening!?" I cried.
"Hush." She runs faster, glowing black. "It'll all be ok."
"I'm scared." She looks back and places me into a bush.
"My dearest Red," she smiles. "You were named after the color of war and blood, but also the color of love. Good will prevail as long as you want it to."
"STOP!" A guard screams, very close.
"Moma-"
"Red my dear stay here." She smiles. "Don't come out, no matter what. Stay quiet."
I nodded. She asked the blanket I was swaddled in and balls it up in her arms.
I lie on the ground, pain searing through my arm.
"Where's the child!?" A guard demands.
"What child?" She opens the blanket. "It was just a blanket."
"Why did you run?"
"Because you were yelling at someone to stop and I didn't want to get in your way."
"Mmhmm." Another soldier laughs. "Ya right lady. Where's the kid?"
"I didn't have a kid." She states an a soldier holds a sword to her throat.
"Talk. Where?"
"I didn't have a kid."
"Yeah right." The other guard laughs. "Well if we can't have the child, your life should make up for it." And the guard slices her throat. I watch as my mom falls to the floor, blood spilling from his throat. Her eye lost they color an her skin turned white immediately.
"Well that's it," the soldier shrugs.
"Whatever." The guard laughs. "I'm sure this should work."
"No." I think to myself and I watch as try left. "No. No. No. No!" I run out from the bush and land on top of her.
"MOMA!" I scream, tears falling from my eyes. "NO YOU CANT BE DEAD!" The forest spins and my arm is hurting. "MOM PLEASE!!! MOM PLEASE STOP!!! NO YOU CANT DIE! NOT LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE NO!!!!! I CAN LIVE LIKE THIS! I NEED YOU!"
I cry into her chest. "If e had just stayed on The Planet if Dark... This never would have happened. Why? Why did we come to Mewni? Why!? MOMA PLEASE YOU CANT BE DEAD!!!"
"My," a mans voice mumbles. I lift up my head to see an the trees broken and damaged. Black smoke rises out from all of them.
"STAY AWAY!" I demand and I feel power rush through me.
"That arm does not look good."
"Well neither does your face!"
"Calm down." The man walks up to me, with a smile on his face. Rain falls down lightly.
"Go away!" I screams. "You don't have to take my life you already took hers!"
"Who do you think I am?"
"You work for the queen, didn't you? You want to kill me!"
"Quite the opposite." The man laughs, and he walks towards me, "I want to save you. That arm doesn't seem to be getting better."
"Well..." I mumble.
"Let's see what we can do," he begins to walk away.
"What about my mom!?" I snap.
"I believe se deserves a proper burial, but you can't dig with that arm."
"I guess." I walk towards him. "My names Red."
"Ah Red. The color of war and love."
"That's it." I laugh. "Do you have a name?"
"Treetop."
"That's a funny name."
"I guess it is."
"So Mr. Treetop, what are you doing in the forest."
"Well child this is where I live."
"Wow!" I gasp as we approach a small cottage. We enter and he instructs me to lie on the table.
"Are you a hobo?"
"No." He laughs. "I'm a wizard."
"IMMA WITCH!" I scream with a toothy grin spreading across my face.
"I know." He smiles.
"You're amazing!" I gasp.
"Thank you." He says as he casts a spell on my arm. I close my eyes and fall asleep.XD THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT MOST OF YOUR CHAPTER WAS COPY AND PASTED FROM ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR BOOKS! IF YOU WANTED TO NOT READ IT ITS COOL...
