chapter 1 NOT GOOD NEWS

it's your turn to go out now, said the woman

just give me a few minutes to finish my makeup I'm almost done

hurry up!!, I hate to keep my customers waiting and you know you are the main attraction, so make it snappy you know how drunk men behave when their patience runs thin, I don't want them to cause havock in this place.

Ayria sighed while looking at herself in the mirror she wondering how her life came to this,

it seemed like only yesterday that everything was all rainbows and sunshine.

There she was walking through a garden of white roses

it was spring and the sun was warm, the cool breeze that blew through the garden only made the moment more enjoyable.

In a distance was her mom, Abigail, she was laying on the grass staring at the sky

Her mother looked rather young for age she had smooth sun kissed skin that glowed under the spring sun, her hair fell all the way down to her waist and felt like silk to touch , she had hazel coloured eyes that had so much joy in them, and she had the scent of honey and coconuts.

She seemed to be lost in thought as she was laying on the grass, it looked like something had been bothering her for the past few days, but Ayria didn't think it was anything serious.

Ayria hadn't grown up with her father, she barely remembers him whenever she asked her mother about him she would zone out for a bit then give her a gentle smile and say " That's a story for another day "

by the time she 10 yrs old it didn't really bother her not having a father around although she would get ridiculed by her friends for not having a father but as she grew older she got used to the teasing, after all her mother's love was more than enough for her, she never did luck anything, her mother was everything to her.

Abigail really loved being in this white rose garden, it was the only place in there polluted city that gave off a feeling of purity and warmth

it was her favorite place in the whole world

It was like her safe heaven for her and they visited it every Saturday afternoon.

'' will you join me over here Ayria '' her mother called

she then came over and lay next to her mother, they both just stared at the sky in silence, when her Mother finally spoke

"you know I love you with all my heart and only whish the best for you "

it was surprisingly weird for her mother to talk to her this way, somehow it didn't sound like there was going to be good news from mother.

" I know you love me alot and would do anything for me to be happy "Ayria replied.

Her mother was silent for a while again

" Is there something wrong mother, I noticed that you've been troubled for the past few day's "

Abigail sighed

well you see, years ago when you were only months old, your father had come home drunk as usual but that night he couldn't even look me in the eyes he had a guilty expression on his face

he then went straight to bed without telling me about his day or even make a fuss over supper

as he did each night he came drunk

I was worried thinking something bad must have happened while he was out.

early the next morning as I was stretching and rubbing my eyes I noticed that your father was staring at you in such a way that I thought he might have been crying he had the same guilty look on his face as last night.

" what's wrong Uriel " I said him

it seemed like I had startled him

as he turned to look at me his expression immediately changed

and he looked as though he was about to apologize.
