17years later......

"mama,mama you're finally back".theia screamed,smiling running towards kyla.

"Theia how many times do I have to tell you people in the city that are your age. don't call others"mama".kyla said in frustration for the hundredth time this month.

" And besides am not that old".kyla said grumpily. making theia smile.

"mama ,stop talking about other people I'm me,and I think it suits you. you're not old, you're still young. you're 37years old.

and that's pretty young".

looking defeated kyla said

"OK,OK I get it".

looking around kyla, theia frowned.

"mama?".theia said.

"hmm?".kyla answered.

"where are the fishes you promised to bring, I've been waiting all day I can't wait to eat them".theia said enthusiastic about the treats even tho she only ate a moment ago.

"sorry theia, but I couldn't go to the river today".kyla said sadly.

and disappointment rose from theia's face.

"I was really looking forward to it".she said sadly as she hung her head low.

"But... I got meat tho,we'll have a big feast what do you say?". kyla said bringing out the rabbit from her bag. and just like that the sadness in theia's eyes vanished.

"I love you mama". she said to kyla drowning her with kisses, making kyla smile.

"seriously theia you've gotta stop calling me mama,it sounds childish you're no longer 12 how about calling me something else, like mum mother I don't know anything but "mama".

"you said children hardly call their parents "mama"right?".

"yea but...". kyla said but was interrupted by her impatient daughter.

"you're rare and your my mama,so I'll call you just that."mama" your special so you need a special name".

"theia your 17 for God's sake,you can't act like this".

"mama will always be "mama" I will never change the name". she said defiant.

"I give up,it's hopeless".kyla said rolling her eyes in defeat.

"theia giggled thinking about how many times kyla tried to talk her out of it.

Taking the rabbit from her mom they walked inside.

............

At evening time,food was ready,finally after all of theia's whining and complaining the food was finally ready.

Kayla had made vegetable soup with buffalo meat,roasted antelope dried fruit and orange juice.

though it wasn't much due to the fact that they were in the wild but it was everything to theia. it meant a lot to her.

"well,aren't you hungry dig in".kyla said,and theia willing obliged.

kyla smiled seeing theia stuff her face. she didn't wait to swallow what she was chewing before putting more in.

"Slowly,theia the food isn't running away calm down or you'll choke".Kyla said tapping theia's back.

she's grown up so fast,but one thing didn't change about her, that's her appetite.but what surprised me the most is that she looks just like me. i'm not exaggerating at all.

Her hair's just like mine blonde and curly,which was a surprise cause when she was little her hair was just like her mom's jet black but over time it turned blonde. Her eyes was also forest green just like mine,it's really confusing sometimes her eyes were violent with a hint of grey,when she was younger. I shouldn't be surprised cause theia's mom was a witch.

No matter what theia is i'll always love her.she's my world,my life and most importantly she's the only one I have left.

"mama what's the city like?".theia suddenly asked breaking me out of my trance.

surprised she suddenly asked that kind of question I frown.

"why are you asking suddenly".I asked curiously.

Now don't get me wrong it's not like am overprotective of her or I'm restricting her,it's just that theia's brain is wired in a weird way. I'm not scared of her getting hurt on the contrary I'm scared she'll hurt others,mostly those who try to bully or anger her.

when theia was 8years old,she snook off to the nearest town which is like 2½miles from here. how she found her way there I have no idea,she just wanted to see what the town looked like even after I told her it was dangerous,that daughter of mine just doesn't listen.

anyway after looking for her,I finally found her,and that little mosquito almost set the whole town on fire,I think it had something to do with the children in the town bullying her because of her dressing.

Don't even ask how the two things are related cause even am still trying to unravel that mystery.

"nothing I just wanted to know that's all". theia's words were almost inaudible because of the meat she was to dismember.

"Mmh"I said looking at her suspiciously.

"Mama I've changed,I am really just curious that's all".

"OK then we'll visit it some day then".I said smiling.

"maybe"I thought silently.

Yawning I told theia to clean up cause I was tired.

"Good night" I said getting up and heading towards the hut.

"Good night mama"she said from behind me.

Theia Pov

I watched as my mom headed inside,turning towards the fire I smiled taking in a deep amounts of fresh air as I watched the trees dance gracefully because of the wind.

Closing my eyes,I feel the bound I've always had to this place.

my childhood memories surrounded this part of the huge forest.

From breaking my leg,to almost getting stung by a swam of bees,so many delicious meal at this spot,to almost getting mauled by bear.

all those memories I can never forget them.

I've never gotten used to how much peace nature brings.

The sound of insects of the night and owl the sound of the never ending water fall so much peace.

but sadly my heart had always been restless,I don't belong here,sadly this is the truth I've never belongs here.

I can always feel the pull from outside.

it's why I set out when I was 8years old.I wanted to see where it would lead me.

but those pesky little children just had to ruin my plan.

I should have broken their toothpick legs when I still had the chance.

I just can't shake of the feeling that my purpose isn't here.

"Ugh"even I don't understand my self sometimes.

I can't tell mama she just won't get it.

maybe it's time to get some rest I might just be tired, it might be the sleep taking.

I sigh making my way into the hut.
