Whenever I was waking up at 3am, I couldn't understand why I had woken up - that is until I felt something grasping around my wrist, colder than what I had ever felt before...I looked over and gasped, my mother? She had been dead for years, why was she next to me, her bony hand wrapped around my wrist. I looked at her, before I saw her mouth move. ``Do...you...regret...what....you....did?``I felt her icy breath on my neck as I froze, how did she know? It was just an accident! I didn't mean for it to happen. I looked down at my arm again, a bright red and burning handmark burnt into the skin on my arm. Moms hand was gone....I don't know where it went but I knew that I needed to get away somehow. ~ Prologue *New chap 1 goes here* - 5 years previous- My mother was....well- I guess you could say abusive, that's why I had to get rid of her. It was an accident, I only meant for it to have a little bit of algburst. I didn't mean to put too much! I almost screamed when she slumped over almost as soon as she finished the bowl of fresh pasta she had me make. After putting the bowl into the sink, I hooked my arms underneath my mother's armpits and tried dragging her to her bedroom. I yelled for my little brother, ``KAI!`` Although it took him a few minutes to come into the kitchen, his eyes widened. ``What happened to ma-`` He choked out after a few minutes of just standing in the doorway of the kitchen, which led into the living room. ``Mom....passed out, I need your help carrying her to her bedroom`` I stated, still trying to drag her to her bedroom. ``Okay....`` Kai mumbled, trying to help me the best he could. It took us 20 minutes to get her tucked into bed, and we both walked out, me to the kitchen, and Kai to the living room. I sighed, starting to make me and Kai dinner. I decided on dumplings, and turned on the burner, grabbing them out of the freezer. I put them onto the pan that I had just washed, and walked out of the room to relax for a bit, yawning. Kai was busy watching what looked like Spongebob? Not entirely sure, but I passed the living room and went into my bedroom, lying on my bed and almost immediately falling asleep. I think it was maybe a few hours.I was lulled into the memory of a fireplace and a fire in the middle of winter, at a Christmas party with a mix of what smelt like.... dumplings? ~ Chap 2 (Her Last Lullaby) My eyes fluttered open, but instead of being in my house, I was in the bathroom of a movie theater. The smell of burnt popcorn swirling around my head.
