Soon we reached the small clearing that connected our house to the woods, it was filled with big moss covered rocks and a tiny, silver river that etched across the back, twisting and turning like ribbons.
Tema placed me down gently, but I still hugged her side for a little bit.
"Happy birthday Viv!" I heard 5 of my brothers call, they each had a wonderfully wrapped present in their arms.
"We hope you like em, baby sister." Turqu called, in his manly voice, his shaggy blue-green hair swaying.
I stumbled over too him, my arms outstretched. He placed the present on a nearby table that I hadn't seen before, and he wrapped me in a big hug.
All of my other siblings began placing presents on the table, Beige and Blue hung up a massive streamer that had "Happy 6th Birthday Violet!" scrawled across it.
My face twisted into a massive grin and giggles started erupting from my lips, but they were quickly stopped by Tema who grabbed my wrist gently and pulled me over to a medium sized box that lay on the ground, wrapped in purple paper.
"This one was a little tricky to get, but think of it as a present from mother." She said sadly, indicating for me to open it.
I shuffled closer to the box, and pulled the lid off slowly.
Inside, there were little bits of straw and hay, numerous sticks and stones. But in the middle sat a shiny silvery-grey, fluffy owl hatchling, its eyes closed shut. I reached down and gently picked it up, bringing the fluffy ball to my face. It's big golden eyes opened slowly, and they stared straight at me, a sense of calmness washing over me. The owlet hooted softly as I moved it closer to my face. It stretched out its little head and brushed it against my cold cheek.
"I-its beautiful..." I said softly.
"What are you gonna call her?" Tema asked, placing a hand on my head and playing with my kitten ears.
"I'll call her Lilas..." I whispered.
"That's a beautiful name." Tema hugged me tight, then I put Lilas back in her little box and Tema carefully put the box on the table.
"I love you guys so very much!" I yelled in joy, my cheeks aching from smiling so much.
"Violet!" I heard a familiar voice call from the woods. I turned around to see my brother, Blanc-Rogue, running towards me, a cheesy grin on his face.
"Blanchie!!" I giggled. But my giggles stopped when he yelled my name again, this time panic running thickly from his throat. He started running faster, his face draining of what little colour it ever had, his red hair streaming behind him.
" VIVVY LOOK OU-"
I turned around quickly and felt a sharp, searing pain cutting through my arm. I heard a thump as my lower right arm fell to the ground, blood spurting everywhere and gasps and cries erupting from my siblings.
I looked up at my father, my mothers sword glinting as it remained perched in his hand, the blade drenched with blood. My blood.
"D-daddy..... why?" I asked quietly, searching for something in his grey eyes.
My head went foggy as I stared down at my beautiful dress, that was now covered with thick scarlet. I closed my eyes, and fainted.
