Huntress

Chapter 4

Bye the time the kids came back with the wood I managed to wrap her. Barely. This isn't a walk in the park wrapping your own mom so you can burn her. I also sprayed a lot of frebreze.
I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to burn her. The twins came back and I realized that they had no wood. Why wouldn't they have the wood. "We found a clearing to bury then burn her," Emma said in a quiet voice. she always so loud and full of life now she sound dull and dead inside. I internally cringe at the sight but simply nod.
They alrwady set set up the funeral wood all we need to do is burn and salt her. I can feel my emotions coming up. I repress it. #4 I have to stay strong so the twins don't.
i zoned out during this time I couldn't bare being able to be there. As soon as we could we left. We took care of the evidence and everything as fast as possible. All I want to do is move on and forget. So I started digging for the hole for afterwards.
I know what your thinking. How is she so heartless her mother just died. Well truth be told I want to hid from the world and never come out of hiding. But I can't the twins need me so repress and mom forward. That's what she taught me after all I'm a good little solider. When after died after the...accident she made me hunt and watch out for the twins. They were above me and I knew that from the start. It never really bothered me. If anything I approved of it. They were all I had left know and I will protect them. Trap deeply in my morbid mind I didn't notice that we were almost done in the funeral. The hole was finished and and mothers was done. The twins just starred in horrors. I can't make them bury her so I grab her gently. MISTAKE SHES HEAVY. I struggled to lower her in the grave. I looked like a graceless penguin carring a dead body. I managed (barely) to get her in her final resting place. My once buetif mother wa now burned to a crisp and dead. My emotions were coming up and I silently cried a few tears slid down my cheek. I started to feel claustrophobic and got out.
The twins silently started to troe dirt in. I started to help them Simon spoke. "This isn't right to do this so silent. She deserves word and tears," he grabbed the shovel and shoved dirt in the grave. "When I was nine year old you gave a speech about monster and being brave I always remember that." She poured in the dirt. He turned to Emma and handed her the shovel. "Your turn,"
"When you left we were never alone because you left us Raven," she had the shovel towards me.
"You told me everything no matter how difficult it was for me," that's how we spent the rest of the time burying her. By the time we were finished it was around twenty-four hours since her death. She died on June 1st and I have no idea what to do with that information. The twins tear stained and barely holding it together start walking away.
"Mom," I whispered, "I know that I will get them to safety after all I'm your good little solider,"
