"Mommy...why do you hate humans?" This wasn't a question I felt that I should be asking given how my Mommy is about humans but it was something that has been bothering me for a really long time.

My Mommy's hand stop mid comb and the room as the atmosphere in the room began to change, she remained painfully silent and still for what felt like forever before putting down the comb.

"Oh sweetie it's an awfully long story and one that you might not be ready to hear just yet" Even though her voice was soft and sweet as it usually is when talking to me but I could still pick up a hint of a sinister chill to it.

It took everything I had not to shiver and show the fear I was beginning to feel, trying desperately not to stutter or fumble on my words.

I had put a lot of focus on to my words in order to not mess them up.

"But I really want to know!...does it have anything to do with Father..and what he did?" My Mommy's body stiffen and tiny waves of anger, and hate came from her

"No, my hate for humans began long before him...but what he did only made it stronger" That sinister tone that was once faint was now more noticeable and a lot darker and colder.

Now, bringing up Father and what he did gets her like this every time it's mentioned which is why I don't tend to do it, this being the rare exception.

I've avoided it long enough and I wanted answers, I want to know why Mommy hates humans, why Father betrayed us, does Mommy know?

Was whatever his reasons worth taking away my sisters!

I almost started to cry but stopped when I heard Mommy sigh and her body became more relaxed as she wrapped me up in her arms.

Her embrace the same as usual cold, bitter and full of emptiness and yet there was still some warmth to be found, and it does get warmer and more loving, and sweet the longer I'm in it...

Unfortunately, though, she never keeps me in it for long, the moment that sweetness and love reaches a certain peak she immediately let's go and distances herself.

I can never figure out why? What makes her pull away just when the embrace begins to grow sweet?

Was this a thing she's always done? I do not know because of my memory loss, I have no idea if this is something she does recently or a habit she's always had.

It doesn't matter, either way, it's still something I wish she wouldn't do.

Mommy sighs as she holds my hands while still in the hug, " I do not enjoy talking about my past... especially those days when my hatred started to grow"

The hug was back to feeling cold again as her hands gripped mines tighter, "All you need to know about as to why is that humans are wicked and cruel, they are never to be trusted, do you hear me?"

"They'll burn you alive the moment they find out what you are! And they are the very people your Father betrayed us for..." She paused.

"Even going as far as to taking your sisters away but no worries sweetie, I'll get them back, no matter what it takes, we'll have them back" She pulled me closer.

"And no one will ever be able to tear us apart again!" As nice as that sounds, the dark and malicious tones her words carried didn't make them very welcoming.
