Nashi's Tale

prologue

I jolted up in my sleep, sweating and breathing heavily, 'What was that? What did I see?' I tried to think of what I just saw and nothing coming to my head was making sense. I wiped some sweat off of my face only to realize that it was actually tears.

Mom came running into my room and sat down on my bedside. "Nashi sweetie are you okay?" She looked at me, concerned. "I heard you all the way in my room." She rubbed my back. I tried to talk to her about the dream I just had, but no words about of it would come out, besides would she even believe me?

I chose each word carefully in my head, so I could say something to calm her down without making her worry about me, "Yeah, mom it's just a bad dream I'm sure." She stared at me for a few seconds before smiling. 'Was it really, though?' She kissed me on the top of my head and give me small smile.

As she got up off of the bed, she study me carefully for some reason, "Get a good night's sleep sweetie. You have a big day tomorrow." She smiled to cheerfully for being, so late at night. She give me one last kiss on the head before leaving my room.

I laid on my back and looked up at the roof. I sigh and sat up and throwing my legs off the edge of the bed. 'Maybe I could get some fresh air.' I looked at the clock on my wall above my door and saw that it's 3:37 am. I went to my window and opened it, sat on the edge of it and threw my legs out. I stood up and climbed up to the roof. It was a cool night; not too hot and with the perfect breeze blowing my pink hair into a spiral mess. 'Please, whatever I saw, please don't be true.'

I went back to bed after I climbed down from the roof around 6'o clock. I went to the kitchen and found my mother cooking breakfast for the two of us. "Good morning, Mom." I greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. I look at the stove and she is making eggs and bacon, making stomach growl from hunger.

She looked up at me with the biggest smile I've seen on her face in weeks, "Morning Nashi." She says and kissed my cheek back. "Do you want waffles too?" She said making me nod my head happily, "Well you'll have to make them." She said with a stupid little grin on her face.

I groan loudly walking over to the pantry, getting the waffle mix. "I hate making waffles." Waffles are a huge mess, but it's totally worth it whenever, you get to eat them. She giggles at my reaction to having to make the waffles.

Mom helps me get some of the ingredients out, "I was going to make them, but it kinda of slipped my mind." Mom was way to excited for her own good, but I kinda of liked seeing her like this.

"Yeah I know mom, I miss dad too." I say with a big smile. Dad left on a trip with Gray to train two of his kids and gray also took his older son to help train them, they've been gone for about two weeks, so it just been me and my mom, but now they are finally coming back home today!

"He better not come home with a broken arm like last time." Mom said angrily, with a little bit of an eye twitch, which kinda scared me.

My stomach starts to growl even louder as I start to smell the bacon, "Mom on second thought, I decided I don't want waffles. I just want to eat now." I say patting my stomach as it growls one last time.

Mom sighs, "Fine that's your lost." She a grabs to plates from one of the cabinets and hands me one. "He should be here in a few hours, so eat all you can before your father get's here." She says very cheerfully putting some eggs, and bacon on her plate.

"Thanks, mom," I said and started to put away some of the food on my plate, and start eating one of the best meals I've had in what feel like weeks.
