Puella Magia Madoka Magica: The Magical Girl Curse

Chapter Four: My Wish

Chapter Four: My wish

I wearily open the front door to my house. My body feels and I can barely stand, this must be and effect from becoming a magical girl. Yes I am magical girl now this means my life from here on out will be different.

My stomach growls loudly as I take off my shoes. Today I only ate some cake, I should probably go into the kitchen and see if I can make something fast. I slowly walk into the kitchen dragging my feet along the floor, I can't lift them up.

"Uhmm" I hear a sound of coughing.

It came from the kitchen. Even though it was just a cough it sounded very familiar. As I enter the kitchen I slowly start to see the person I heard coughing. There sitting on a chair at the kitchen table was my mom.

She looked angry, her face covered with the expression. I try to slip out without her noticing but it only made me noticeable.

"Yume Takamori where do you think your going" she says with a strong tone.

I flinch and cower. I turn as slowly as I can. Her green eyes piercing through my body and soul. I smile and try to keep my cool.

"Oh hey mom sorry didn't notice you there".

"Really, you came in and saw me. I felt your eyes on me Yume".

Again I flinch. My hearts begins to race and I feel like it's hard to breath.

"Oh ugh".

"You know I don't usually come home and when I do I want to come home to a clean house".

She gets up and takes my arm, I wince because her grip is tight. She leads me over to where I spilled the cereal this morning. Oops I had totally forgotten about that hopefully she isn't to angry with me.

"I'm sorry I'll get to cleaning it right away mom".

Before could go I still felt his hand on my wrist, I look back at her and I see a big smile on it. What the heck I have never seen such a smile on her face. It's actually kind of frightening even more frightening than her anger face.

"Oh Yume" she surprises me with a huge hug, is this my punishment am I gonna be hugged to death cause I can't even breath.

"Mom" I manage to say even though I am lacking air.

She seems to notice my face was changing colors and she let me go.

"Sorry darling I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm just so happy to see you".

"Why are you here"?

"What" she's pouting like a little kid, "your not happy to see me here"?

"Huh no I never said that it's just ugh......your never here and now you just appear it's kinda of weird. What's even weirder is that your nowt mad about the cereal".

"Oh that we can just deal with it later, right now I want to hug you to death".

She pounces like she is a tiger about to attack it's prey. Instinctively I dodge but I hear a loud thud. I turn and my mom is face down in the cereal.

"Mom oh my goodness are you okay"?

I help her up by taking her right arm as she rubs her aching head with the left. Then she looks at me like she's a out to cry.

"Mom, are you okay"?

"Yeah I'm fine but why did you dodge my hug do you hate your mother Yume".

"Wha no of course not".

"Then why did you dodge me, don't refuse my love".

"No offense but your hugs are a bit to much for me".

"What do you mean"?

"You hug to hard".

Her eyes looked like they were full of water and they were about to burst. What's wrong with mom she never looks like this. She looks like a puppy with those eyes.

"But I don't hate your hugs mom" I pat her back encouragingly, "just hug a little lighter okay".

Her face lights up like a night light and a giant smile forms on it. She lunges at me again but this time I just stand there and take it. She really didn't listen to my advice so again I was being hugged to death. I think I see a white light or is that just our kitchen light?

"Honey maybe you shouldn't hug our child to death" I hear a familiar voice.

It sounded comforting and it seemed to be what I needed to be freed. I fall onto the floor, mom runs past me. For a second I just lay there until a large hand is hovering over my face.

"Need help" the voice says.

I take the hand, it's warm. I take a look at who owns the hand. A tall man with black hair and glasses is smiling at me, my dad. I jump onto him making him also fall over.

"What I didn't get a hug like that" mom pouts again.

My dad and I laughed at her comment. He waved her over and she ran over and jumped on us. I wonder why mom and dad are home, not that I mind but this is really strange. Maybe wishes do come true.
