Everything was going well before our mother got sick. After that we started trying to hide this fact from Naran. Because we didn't want to worry him. We let him go out and do whatever he wanted because we didn't want it to scare him. After awhile he started noticing and became more and more worried. I warned my mother that we should tell him. She said "I do not wish to see him sad or upset." Our father became more and more stressed with gathering supplies for the winter and helping our mother back into health. When Naran started to notice and he started coming home earlier and earlier father thought it would be a good thing, and my little brother could help with the house and watch mother.
Everything was going smoothly until the harvest, Naran went out a lot for harvest, i was hunting all the time to help prepare for the winter, mother keep the house as best she could. A few days after harvest began i was hunting a deer, i tracked it for miles, when Naran ran into the forest to find me successfully scaring off the deer by shouting my name.
When he finally arrived where i was he looked exhausted and ready to faint. He panted "Yooko", so faintly that i barely heard him. So i slowly got out of my hiding place and glared at him for scaring of the deer that would have fed us for a good three weeks.
"What do you-" i started angry but was interrupted.
"Mother" Naran stated while gasping.
At that moment i knew that we needed to get home. I started running and almost thought of picking up Naran and running home. I decided against it, however, knowing he could hold his own. When we finally got home I ran straight for mother.
"Wake up they're here" father said rudely and angrily, shaking her.
I went up to mother while Naran stayed near the door I knew in that second she wasn't going to make it, so i leaned down to talk to her. " I'll miss you mama," i said almost crying.
"I know son. I love you and I'll miss you and Naran also. But i need you to take good care of your brother after I'm gone," She coughed. "He'll need you, and you'll need him too."
