she needed

She needed something , something to bring her out of her darkness again. Too much is happening and the light in her died together with her soul locked up in the whirlpool of the sea.

"Mummy? Mummy? Daddy!? "
" where's everyone ?"

the tiny steps walked around and slowly up the stairs. the house was dimmed , barely anyone at home. the room door was left opened, she walked in.

"mummy? i am home, Grand pa jacks got me something for you! "

"go ahead kim. i am tired"

" mummy what's wrong , you sound unwell"

" GO AWAY KIM! GET OUT!"

her eyes widen when she saw what was in front of her , blood . Blood flowing out the pale wrist of mummy.

" mummy ! i get the doctor! "
" KIM ! GET OUT! GO AWAY! let me die"
" no mummy please don't do that! i am scared mummy."

the metal hit the ground, tears flow out of mummy's eyes. she cried and cried till there was no more noise. Kim rush to mummy, mummy lay still on the floor. Caught in a situation like this, she didnt know what to do. she ran out.

"someone please help me !! mummy mummy , she's not moving!"

siren drowned all the noise and gossiping of the onlookers, paramedics rushed out with a pale looking lady in the stretcher. As she was carried out , the gossiping grew louder. kim was looking out through the window of her room. Hugging her knees, she couldnt find daddy, she couldnt hug mummy . She felt fear , she felt lonely. Tears filled her eyes and washed the blood off her cheeks and darkness entered.

"morning Kim! time for school!!"
"5 mins aunt claire!"
"u little brat get ya butt out of the bed or i will drag you out myself !"


The sun shone brightly through the window causing kim to cover her eyes from the sudden brightness. Another day to survive, another day to endure, she stretched and head to get ready for school.

As she walked to the toilet, she scrutinise her face in the mirror above the sink. Black eyes, dark locks of hair she seem almost like emily the strange. She caught a gleam of her scar on her back as she washed up and thoughts came back to haunt her.

" KIM ! do you want to be with mummy?"
"yes mummy i do!"
" that's my girl , come to me and let's be together forever. daddy's gone he's not coming back any more. "

just as the blade raised high to pierce through kim, mummy felt a sharp pain on her and released the grip. the blade fell on kim's back leaving a cut on her soft flesh.

"KIMBERLY JEANS! ARE YOU COMING DOWN ANY SOON! CHRISTMAS IS NOT COMING IN 5 MINS ! "

She shook out of the darkness and quickly dressed to meet aunt claire. been 12 years with aunt claire since the nightmare yet she was finding it so hard to let it go.

" kim! goodness why can't you young people dress something more decent. you are no lack of black coming from your eyes and your hair and you still have to dress up in nothing but black!"

" oh aunt claire , this is gothic! everyone loves it"

" one more rubbish from you young lady the only gothic you are getting is going to the attic to sleep"

rolling her eyes, she grabbed her lunch and out she went. everyone greeted her but yet she could still hear the whisper trailing behind her. Can't humans ever forget the past and just let me be me? her thoughts just went, if it wasn't for that incident that night, kim could have to turned out to be a totally different girl. she couldnt see the light in the day , she embraced the cold and loneliness that darkness provided her. she just wanted to be loved again but she knows her wish is never gonna happen again. ever again. Aunt claire was motherly but she wasnt it, she wasnt kim's.
