The Relatives of Death

Prologue

I fell on my knees and screamed as tears streamed down my face, looking directly at him " I was the weak one, the one who got sick easily. Then why did you kill him..? Why? WHY? Coudn't you give me his disease?"   

I thought about the day when my world came crashing down.

***********************

I entered home like i normally do, stomping my way in when i saw my mother sitting on our dinning table looking deadly pale. 

"Sia, dear, come into the kitchen for a moment." She whispered 

"What is it, Mum?  Is something wrong?"

"Well... yes.  You see, your father... your father has a brain tumor in his left lobe."

With that last word from my mum, I fainted. My life changed then and there. 

(2 months later) (End of flashback)

"Father?  Can I... can I get you anything?"

"Sia, please love, just let me rest.  Tell your mother to come down here, as well."

"Yes, Father."

I trudged up the wooden spiral stairs out of our ranch - style living room, only to run straight into my mother.

"Sia, dear, keep your back straight!  What's got you trudging so?"

"Father wants to talk to you."

"Alright, dear, thank you.  Please go up to your room."

That's where I was going! I thought.  I didn't need to be told twice.

After fidgeting a while in my room I decided to go skating.

"Mum!" I yelled, "I'm going to the rink!" Ah, the ice rink, the only place I could calm myself away from the dangers.

"Alright, darling, just be home in time for dinner!"

"Yes Mum!"

Grabbing my skates, I rushed out the door.  I had changed before into a light blue halter top and athletic pants, and my skating bag was also light blue with white flowers.  Skating was the only place I could feel at home, and it didn't help we lived in Australia. Skating was the only escape out of this nightmare, but unfortunately there was only one rink in our whole area.

I was in middle of skating when my phone rang. Mum was calling. Duh! she knew better than to interrupt me while skating, I thought. 

I picked it and almost screamed at her for disturbing my peaceful moment in already disturbed life "WHAT?"

"Your father.." The line went dead, and i got a heart attack ! No! Not now...
