when the darkness fades

chapter 2

We sat there forever my father and I, I was lending on his shoulder and could feel my eyes getting heavy but I kept fighting to keep them open, my dad looks at me ‘Little Indy, if your tied close your eyes and I will carry you back to the house’. Next thing I knew it was darkness again and I knew my dad was no longer there. I looked around and could not see anything but black. My heart sank and so did I to the floor where I curled up into a little ball, I closed my eyes and tried to think almost remember what my dad looked like, he looked like me only the male version and bigger of course, he was the betta, the alphas best friend and trusted right hand wolf/man. He had big round hazel eyes, tanned coloured skin and short brown hair. I had most of his traits, the hazel eyes, tanned coloured skin but I had long wavy dark brown hair which some say I got from my mother. My mother where was she is all this darkness.

‘Indy, how long have you been asleep for’, my eyes shot open at lightening speed, only to see her green eyes looking at me from the side of the bed, it was my mother. I sat up and looked around but something strange was around me. I kept looking only to find I was in my bedroom, the one we moved into after dad passed, I looked around a little more, I could feel mum giving me a strange look ‘Honey are you ok’ She asked, ‘um yes just a strange dream that’s all’, she accepted that answer and told me to come down for dinner. I gave her a nod while I was trying to figure out where I was. Not even 5 mins ago I was with my dad and now I was in a different house then the one I lived in with him, what was going on.

I went to the drawer, it seemed strange I knew where everything was as we had moved from this house 6 years ago but anyway I made my way to the kitchen and noticed a few photos and slowly it starting coming back I was about 8 or so and my mum had started dating someone new, he seemed nice enough, I didn’t know any better I was 8 and went with whatever made my mum happy. I reached the kitchen and heard voices; one I knew was my mum the other was her boyfriend. I turned the corner and my mum and I both went bright red as I caught them kissing. She tried to hid their affection as much as she could as always said that no one would replace my dad only step in to make things easier.

After dinner was finished and everything was cleaned and packed away, mum came to check on me as she always did. She leaned in to kiss my forehead and whispered ‘Goodnight little Indy, I just came to tell you goodbye my love, always remember that I love you, even when you wake up alone remember that you are my special little girl’. And with that I was alone again the darkness of nothing but black. My 2 favourite people have gone far away and I cant not even see them again well not yet anyway maybe one day when I’m old and grey and have lived a long life I will see them, fingers crossed.
