Frozen Heart 2016 (ON HOLD)

Frozen Heart: 3- Freezing Death

   I had come home that day to find my mother on the floor, blood splattered on the walls and pooling around her stomach. "Mom!" I screamed and ran over to her, dropping the bag of groceries I had just bought.

  I slid on to my knee's next to her, looking at the mess before me. Instinctively my Kekkei Genkai's activated and I assessed the damages after closing my Sharingan eyes. Multiple bone fractures in the ribs causing the left lung to be punctured, quickly filling it up with blood. Moving my eyes down quickly I saw two stab wounds, one in the right kidney from the back and another to the left of the stomach from the front. Two people were here, two people had ganged up on my mother... Now she was dying here in front of me.

  With tears in my eyes, I placed glowing green hands on her stomach and back. There was nothing I could do for her lungs as she would need immediate surgery with knowledge and supplies that I don't have. So I sat there doing what I could, my mom turned and looked at me when she felt my hands on her. Her blue eyes were dilated and darted across my face. She lifted a bloody hand and put it on my cheek, I looked at her. The tears falling over as I saw how pale her face was.

"Oh honey," She said dryly, her voice weak, "I'm so sorry. I promised that we would go to Konoha finally after the bridge was built. I don't think I can make it to that now." She said with a small laugh, choking on her own blood. That was a bad sign, her lungs were filling with blood much faster than I thought. My heart stopped and I leaned forward, shaking my head.

  "No. No. No! Your not gonna die mom! You can't, we have to go see Dad remember. Then you guys can fall in love again and get married. I'll become an official ninja and we'll be happy, mom... We'll be happy." I said keeping my hands firmly placed on her wounds.

  Tears built up in her eyes as well. "I didn't know you had dreams like these sweat-pea... I wish I could make the come true. I wish I had been a better mother." She said, her hand slipping from my face.

  "No mom, I should have been a better daughter. I should have told you I loved you more, and spent more time with you. I should have obeyed you more and not make you worry about me all time. I wish I hadn't been cold to you mom so please don't leave me... Please!" I almost screamed, shifting my hands from her stomach to her hands.

   My Mom smiled at me. "Upstairs, second drawer, under the shirts, a two letters. Take them and go to Konoha, find your Dad. He deserve's to know you exist Kanna. Take whatever you need and just go." She said. He breathing halted for a second causing her to cough up more blood. She turned to me and patted down her hair, the blood getting in my hair but neither of us cared. "You drive my crazy, my..." She let out a weary breath," my beautiful daughter... bu-but I... I love you very much." The the lights in her eyes faded away.

  More tears poured from my eyes, burning insistently. The pain in my chest was unbearable and air was not reaching my lungs. I gasped and put my hands on my chest, leaning over my mother with silent screams of pain. It was worse than not knowing my dad, worse than the doubts I had, worse then the bullying, worse than the nick-names... It was the worse pain I have ever felt in my entire life and I never- NEVER- wanted to feel this way again. I felt a coldness in my chest as the blood in my veins froze, an icy wave cracked over my heart and... it. just. froze.

I leaned over my mom's body which was now turning cold. I laid there for god knows how long until I felt arms wrap around my stomach and pick me up, pulling me from my mom. "NO!" I screamed and struggled to get away. "Let me go you bastard! That's my mom, my Mom!" I screamed and hit their back.

  They pulled me out of the house and cradled me in their arms, hugging my head to their chest. "Shut it kid... You don't need be in their." Tazuna said. I looked up with wide eyes and felt a crack form in my icy heart, a small one... but big enough for the family I had left. Tears welled up in my eyes again and for the second time I cried today. I cried for my mom and for the pain I knew my family felt for me.
