as ten million fireflies
lit up the world as i fell asleep
❖
I keep watching as Momma keeps walking and the sound of her hooves against the rocks is so loud. I'm afraid she'll slip and fall because I know I would if I tried to follow. I keep feeling that urge to but it feels like my feet are trapped in mud. It doesn't look safe, but maybe she's testing me? I want to be as brave and skilled as both Mommas, so maybe this is my chance to prove it?
I'm about to take a step in when a man walks over. I think he's from the Dawn Court and he looks like he's built for fighting, yet his expression says otherwise. He seems concerned and shares my confusion when Momma gives him orders to take me home.
"B-but…" I say, my voice barely a whisper as I'm struggling to speak. None of this makes any sense. I thought we were having fun with the fireflies and dancing and wooing? Where is Momma going and why can't I come with her? Why can't she take me home?
The guard nudges me forward and tries to comfort me as he notices tears starting to fall down my cheeks. I've lost my chance to say anything else because Momma is already long gone. So I leave with the man reluctantly as all the questions swim around my head.
I didn't realize this would be the last I'd ever see of her.
@"Al'Zahra" my heart is broken THANKS
