Axel ran back home to search for her. She was nowhere to be seen. Axel knew that she was never to act like this to happen. Axel saw her belongings were still there in the room. It meant she wasn't gone for long to forget her belongings. He was off guard while he was so busy with the party guest that he suppose to take care of her. the most important thing is gone missing now. Axel searched the whole house and was nowhere to be seen. He begins to start panicking. Axel panicked but remain after thinking for a moment, '' Think! Axel, Think! ''
'' Where would she have gone missing that feels the safest place to hide? ''
'' I never let her go outside the house. ''
'' The guards will question her? ''
' The only place, she can go to, she could only be in. ''
'' I got it! ''
'' My Mother Grave! ''
'' If she is going inside the forest at night. It's too dangerous. there can be creatures roaming around to harm her.
'' If only she comes across them. ''
'' I'm such an idiot for leaving her. ''
'' Finding out that she was at the ball. ''
'' What could have pissed her off? ''
'' I have to go there now! '' *he ran out of the house at fast speed and ran in the right direction, inside the forest.
Axel made sure. he carried a torchlight with him. If it got really dark in the forest.
'' We aren't supposed to walk at night because I am afraid she might come across the dangers that lurk over there. I think twinkle has made her mind run without thinking that the possibility she might run into a wild bear or worst. ''
'' No! Axel. don't think for the worst. What could happen to her as long as she remains safe is all its matters. ''
'' Only way to find out? ''
'' I pray I found her body not dead in the ground. who knows. ''
'' I hear a lot of people go missing the forest. ''
Slaps her mouth, '' Shut up and focus on searching for her. ''
Twinkle Scene,
Twinkle lays down on her knees tilt, head down, and feet touching the barren grass, faced down with a hopeless expression, sadness, and emotional state that feels tears fill up across her beautiful face, quietness spreads across the forest, and a quiet breeze binds herself filling up the empty heart, and trees as she entered the grave of Axel's mother tree. Twinkle begins to feel the need for a Rare light' to warm her. But, nobody to hug to comfort her.
Twinkle is lost in her own thoughts of the mind, and she forgot that she has never loved or hit on anyone like 'Axel', she was afraid that he found out about it if she confesses to him. She was never ready for the 'Rejection' part. what she calls, these ''feelings'' to bind her away from falling in love. She talks to herself, which doesn't help but breaks her more. '' (I shouldn't be feeling this!) '', '' (I shouldn't have trusted him and opened myself to him.) '', '' (I knew he liked her.)'' '' (I mean of course.)'' ''(I am so sorry! If I am crying to a damn tree. My apologies that I didn't mean it.) '' I know you are Axel's mother. you are probably can't hear me. I felt more at ease when I came to you! I never had a mother to raise me. I was raised all by myself! They have been childhood friends. I know they probably liked each other. I should forget about this. I can't go on like this. I need to go home now and forget this.) ''
'' But. . ''
'' Why am I the one hurting? '' *she tears up more like a river of tears is bestowed on the barren ground.
'' She doesn't know. ''
Twinkle is a special child. She hasn't owned up to herself to know what, she was capable to do and what she was here for! Finding the truth of who she is and why she is a human doll too. Twinkle tore all her emotion to the ground, crying for her lover. She didn't know that someone deep within was listening to her, as she calls for a 'voice of hope, wasn't the only one alone in the forest. There was someone listening to her whimping and waiting to answer back.
The atmosphere and temperature lits up in bright colors around the tree changed around as the tears of the young doll touched the soil surface, the whole grass lit up in a huge wave of beautiful colors like a 'Rainbow' and a bloom of violets popped out the grass and begins to bloom as the tree was given light once again by the young lady. its tree branches' dry state begins to fade away to new blooming in its exquisite sight to never seen as if you like spring is back?
Those feelings hit the mind right away. Twinkle begins to stop crying as she hears a strange, gentle unknown lady's voice called to her name!
Twinkle hears a distant, female voice calling out to her, '' Who called my name? '' she looks up and sees the whole place is lit up in a beautiful sight that the eyes cant be deceived. She felt like being in 'Heaven' the atmosphere changed to a warm feeling as tons of blue bubbles float in mid-air, pop out of the ground and glowing butterflies climb on the tree, violets petals swing, begin to dance to the harmony, and animals along and join the tree, fireflies came flying across her and spread all around as she turned to all direction.
'' Wow, I have never seen such a 'majestic' quite like this! ''
Twinkle was too stunned by the nature, a feeling of green. She turn around and stare at the tree, There was a visible young, beautiful woman in her 20s laying down on the ground with long black hair as touched the ground, a white face as snow, eyes, comforting a baby deer.
The woman stop petting and turn to look at Twinkle and smiled, Axel Mother, '' I know right? It's a nice sight. ''
She said, '' Oh my! ''
'' What my manners! ''
'' Please, Don't be scared! ''
'' I won't hurt you. ''
Twinkle remains calm, '' I know! I'm not frightened by you. ''
Axel's Mother, '' Oh, thank the trees above. ''
''I thought I was talking to a tree. ''
'' I'm a tree. ''
'' Even sounds way cooler but quite creepy. ''
'' I was going to say that you could have run away all scared and shocked. ''
Twinkle said, '' I'm not afraid of you. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' You weren't that scary as you appeared. ''
Twinkle said, '' You don't look quite frightening at first sight. ''
'' I intend to see lots of scary stuff in my life. ''
'' You came across me and didn't fight me at all. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Mhm. ''
Twinkle said, '' Also! ''
'' You were petting a dear isn't scary. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Lots of folks come here and get scared when they see me. ''
Twinkle said, '' Oh, I am sorry to hear. ''
Axel's mother said while petting a flower, '' Well, I'm used to it now. ''
Twinkle asks, '' How many times has it happened? ''
Axel's Mother said, '' I guess 20 times this year. ''
'' Still no progress. ''
'' When I saw a doll walk in and begin crying. I woke up from my sleep. I waited for, making my entrance. ''
Twinkle said, '' You were observing me the whole time. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Yes. ''
'' I notice that you were quite different, your energy seems different than a normal doll, I notice you weren't from our world. ''
Twinkle said with an upset face, '' It's quite disappointing. ''
'' My instinct was correct. ''
Twinkle said, '' Yes. ''
'' I'm not from here. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Your secret is safe with me. ''
Twinkle said, '' Thank you! ''
'' Lots of people say that. Wait? ''
'' How did you know that? ''
Axel's Mother said, '' You might wear the clothes of my century but your facial expression tells a different story. ''
'' I can see right through you. ''
'' Even though, I don't have a soul anymore. ''
'' I'm getting a weird feeling I have met you somewhere before. ''
Twinkle said, '' How come? ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Look at me closely and guess the answer. Who I am? think deeply. ''
Twinkle saw her closely as she walked in front of her and kept a few steps away from her. She saw closely her whole appearance and as she saw the color of her eyes/ shape. She knew she looked similar to someone.
Twinkle's mind snatched as she found the answer. Axel's Mother whispered, '' I think, she got it. ''
Twinkle said, '' You are Axel's Mother! ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Correct! ''
'' I know who you are. ''
'' Don't act so surprised. ''
'' I know you more than you think. ''
'' I can guess your name might be Twinkle, Right? ''
Twinkle's confused face, '' Whoa! How did you figure it out, without me saying it? ''
Axel's Mother said, '' I have ears everywhere. ''
Twinkle's shocked face, '' That's so pneumonia and so cool, but weird at the same time. ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Quite surprising to hear from another doll. You can see me? ''
Twinkle said, '' Yes, Mam! ''
Axel's Mother said, '' Well, Twinkle! ''
'' You are the second doll, who has seen me in my real form. ''
Twinkle said, '' It explains the way you are communicating to me. ''
A.M said, '' You're right. ''
A.E said, '' You're quite smart. ''
'' I also don't come so punctual towards any doll in particular. ''
'' When I see one! ''
'' Except my son! ''
'' It explains a lot. ''
Twinkle said, '' Huh? ''
A.M said, '' Oh, I get it now. It explains the way he talks about you lots of times, while he is growing up so fast. ''
'' The last time I remember his face was when he was 9 months in my arms. ''
'' It was a long time ago. ''
'' He is all grown now. ''
'' He talks about me? ''
Twinkle said, '' Yes! Mam! ''
A.M said, ' He has kept his vow straight to let me put trust in his promises, after all. ''
'' It brings warmth to my heart about this. I was the only one to raise him. he is raised well. '
'' He could have seen me. ''
'' He would have run to his father like a maniac child. ''
'' He saw his own mother. ''
She gets lost in the distance of the past memories, filling in her mind. Twinkle asks, '' I seem to notice you disturbed. ''
A.M said, '' I am fine. I got distracted. ''
'' Back to you. ''
'' I noticed that you seem quite sad and lost when you came here. ''
'' I wanted to help to cheer you up. ''
'' I guess nature came to say hello to welcome you. ''
Twinkle said, '' I certainly felt welcomed. ''
A.M said, '' My dear, what's gotten you so upset over? ''
'' Is it because of a boy? ''
'' In particular. ''
Twinkle said, '' Oh, It's so obvious, Mam! ''
A.M said, '' You can inform me as (Miss. Rosette). ''
'' We aren't strangers anymore. ''
Twinkle said, '' It's complicated. Miss Rosette! ''
A.M said, '' Well, you remind me of when I was younger. I loved a man very dearly and ran across the forest and hide and pour all my tears. ''
Twinkle said, '' It must be selfish of me to cry over these feelings. ''
A.M said, '' That's nonsense, Love is love. ''
'' My husband used to tell me this. '' *Twinkle listens closely to her words.
'' If you ever cried for the one you love, he/she is the one you love, to ensure, they will come to realize it themselves. ''
'' You just have to wait patiently. ''
'' Thanks for your words, help me a lot to calm down. ''
'' I'm glad to hear. ''
'' I also know that particular boy too. ''
'' Oh, I rather think it's best I don't want to spoil the mood. ''
Twinkle said, '' Right.... ''
'' Haha. '' *they laughed.
Twinkle spend her time talking for an hour, she lost track of time. Axel's Mother was enjoying the talk they having, '' Look at us, talking about boys. I feel like I am in my 20s again. ''
'' I miss being alive. ''
Twinkle said, '' You still look beautiful as you are now. ''
A.M said, '' Aw, thank you! ''
'' I noticed! you have a unique gift. ''
'' Twinkle! ''
'' Cherish it! ''
Twinkle said, '' I will! ''
She explains the gift isn't so precious, '' I wouldn't call it a gift. ''
'' More like a curse. ''
A.M said, '' You will realize it once you admit the gift has its values. ''
'' I sense you still need time. ''
Twinkle said, '' That seems quite right. ''
'' You will know by time. ''
A.M said, '' To mention I know what's Inside of you! ''
Twinkle said, '' Wait! ''
'' How did you!? ''
A.M said, '' I guess you and I are even now. We aren't strangers anymore. After all this talking. ''
'' I have to guess I was just right again with my own instinct. ''
'' I'm the same as you. ''
'' You and I are no different, of the same kind. ''
Twinkle said, '' I never mentioned it. ''
A.M said, '' I sensed it right away as you walked near my grave. ''
'' Your tears had a life force that connects right to your heart, most dolls can't do that because they aren't born with hearts like ours, we are special kind ones we come in, we are born different, you brought here and shredding tears brought life again to the beauty of this place that I once knew was home to me. ''
'' I am sure. ''
'' Axel has told you stories about how I used to come often here. ''
Twinkle said, '' I am quite aware of it. ''
A.M said, '' I know you wouldn't be spending lots of time here. ''
'' Your time is short. ''
'' You might leave any moment when the time is right. ''
'' If you stay too long in the forest. ''
'' I can't guarantee your safety. ''
Twinkle said, '' Why can't I stay? ''
A.M said, '' There might be someone looking for you. ''
'' I sense them. ''
'' A quite familiar scent, I am sensing. ''
'' I think you need to leave. ''
'' I am asking you nicely. ''
Twinkle said, '' Alright! I will leave as you wish. ''
'' She is a clever girl. '' *The mother whispered.
Twinkle said, '' We part ways here, I had a lovely time meeting you. ''
'' Miss Rosette. ''
A.M said, '' I am happy to meet you and have a nice talk for a change. ''
'' I hope you remember your butterfly will always guide you through stuff times. ''
'' You believe there is always hope around us. ''
'' Remember this! ''
Twinkle said, '' I will. ''
'' One word before you go! ''
'' I like to share this before you go back. I think Axel has a long journey ahead of himself. ''
'' He is my son, I know him better than I'm his own mother. I have given him birth to this world, no matter, this is a cruel word, don't be hurt by his words, he shows no sign of his emotions and worries for others, more than himself, that's my son there. He is will love the person when that person has the will to give her/his life to him, which shows how real love is to him, his life is full of adventures, and where he doesn't have a choice to make, he is made up his mind. He is the son that has a soul that he will love anyone, who is just like him. That is his special gift. ''
'' Don't forget to convey this to him. ''
'' If you encounter him on your way back. ''
Twinkle said, '' If I meet up with him and I will deliver your message to him. ''
A.M said, '' Very well. ''
'' You may go now! '' *His mother was about to say another request until
Twinkle was about to leave the place, and a young man in a black coat appear from behind Twinkle, '' What are you doing here?!! ''
Twinkle's face as she fears seeing Axel's serious face appear from behind, '' Axel! '' *Twinkle ran to hug him.
'' What is this? '' *He turns to see his real mother's face and a face of change was shown.
'' I'm so sorry, I ran away. I wanted to inform you but! '' *Axel saw twinkle still wearing her ballroom dress.
Axel had a change in his face, '' Not right now, Twinkle! '' *His face was giving a serious, gloomy vibe
'' What's wrong, Axel? ''
Axel is not in the mood at all, '' Can't you see? I'm with my mother now. ''
'' I hope you know that better than I told you. ''
A.M said, '' Twinkle. ''
'' I won't be seeing you here again. ''
'' I have matters to discuss with my son. ''
Twinkle holding his hand, '' Why are you so serious now? ''
'' Talk to me! ''
'' I want you to go home now! ''
'' NOW! ''
A.M said, '' Listen to him and leave. ''
'' I can't leave you to him. ''
A.M said, '' I will be fine. ''
'' He can't hurt me. I'm his Mother. He is growing his anger out on me. This time I sensed his anger growing on me and just like the old days, Our happy family days just you and me. Like Mother-Son reunion. ''
A.M face Twinkle face, '' You can go! ''
Twinkle's face was staring at Axel's serious face leaving a cold chill around her, '' Alright. '' *she ran immediately across the forest and disappears.
A.M said, '' You like to sit down. My son! ''
'' You can! ''
Axel said, '' I can't believe you appeared right before, Twinkle. ''
'' It's like you knew she will come to you as you predicted. ''
'' I was quite surprised just as you are. ''
A.M said, '' I had no intention of bringing her. ''
'' She came herself. in-person to me. ''
Axel said, '' And about me? ''
'' You forgot my presence exists too. ''
A.M said, '' I still feel you. ''
'' You were just a little baby back then. ''
'' You couldn't tell back then what I was capable to do back then your father told me not to use my magic. It could harm you I had to raise you properly my way without you knowing where you came from. I have hidden the truth of your birth. ''
'' As you got older. ''
'' You figured out you weren't a doll like other kids. ''
Axel said, '' It was a tough time for me. ''
'' I have passed that. ''
'' I notice your father would nag at you, you could see me. He would yell, you are just seeing stuff, my son! ''
A.M said, '' She isn't alive. ''
'' Isn't it true? ''
Axel said, '' How did you know? ''
A.M said, '' I have been watching over you all this time. ''
'' Come and give me your mother a hug. ''
'' Your body is shaking with you just standing there. ''
'' Let me hold my loving son for the time being. '' *The mother walk at a low pace and approached him, the son in a still state and she embrace him with a hug tightly.
He begins to tear up as she embraces him closely, '' I still kept your promise from this day. ''
Axel burst into tears, holding his dear mother, '' I can finally feel you mother! ''
'' I wanted this so bad. ''
A.M said, '' I know. You always missed my warm hugs. ''
'' This settles our past events now.. ''
'' Just let it out, all those emotions out. let it out! ''
'' There! There! ''
'' You did a good job, realizing it. ''
'' I'm so proud of you. ''
'' You made your Mother proud and so happy. ''
Axel said, '' You still believe in me. ''
He break down in tears as she said these words, '' Cry out all you want. Mother is still here by your side. ''
Axel begins to feel emotional, he drained all his tears on his mother's shoulder and stops crying for a while, '' You are allowed to cry in front of me. ''
'' I'm your Mother at the end of the day. ''
A.M said, '' It shows ''Real you'', to me. ''
Axel asks, '' How much time do I have with you? ''
A.M said, '' I don't have enough time until the moon is clouded. I have a few hours with this form. ''
'' No matter, How many years go by? ''
A.M said, '' You grow up to become the man I call my own son. ''
Axel said, '' I know, Mother. ''
'' I missed you a lot. ''
A.M said, '' I know you did. ''
'' I think of you always when months and days passed by like a wind in my hair, It becomes tough to not see you the whole day. ''
'' Now, you have come to see me. ''
Axel asks, '' Are you happy? ''
A.M said, '' Look around you, these flowers are all the ones that you brought for me in past and the present. ''
'' How happy I can be more then? ''
'' This is my home now. ''
'' I still wish you could stay longer. ''
'' I always wish that the most. since the day I left you. ''
'' I should have been more with you, while you were growing up. *he hugs her warmth.
'' That can wait for another time. ''
'' You have more important matters to attend to than staying here for too long. ''
'' The forest is a dangerous place at full moon. ''
'' I can't see you here standing all alone. ''
Axel said, '' I'm not afraid of the forest anymore. ''
'' Mother! ''
A.M said, '' Really? ''
'' My My! My son is all grown now to be a big boy already? ''
'' You are extracting again. ''
A.M said, '' I mean it. ''
'' You need to leave. ''
Axel said, '' I wanted to hug you more. ''
'' You will hug me enough when the time is right. ''
'' I think you have another purpose to do. I'm in the way. ''
'' I need you to take care of that sweet girl as well. ''
'' I like her very much. ''
'' She is such a sweet, lovely lady. ''
Axel said, '' I understand what I have to do. ''
'' She is quite extraordinary to me. ''
A.M said, '' Son! I want to see a warm smile on your face. ''
Axel smiled so brightly, '' I'm smiling now. '' *Axel's mother finds peace again seeing his son smile brings back memories to her good heart
A.M said, '' Oh my! If I was alive and I saw you like this. ''
'' What I am thinking again? ''
'' Go before!! '' *Axel leaves until his mother calls him.
'' Wait, Before you go. ''
'' Bring me white ones over, next time! ''
Axel said, '' Oh, Mother! ''
A.M said, '' You have to promise me! ''
Axel said, '' I promise! ''
A.M said, '' Also my son! ''
'' Turn around! ''
The mother faces his son and put a smile across her face, so brightly, and glows as its surrounds, '' Mother! loves you very much, never forget that! '' *She disappears again.
Axel said, '' I always remember your words to me. Mother! ''
'' You will be reminded, My Mother! '' Last words were spoken back to his mother has left.
Axel left his mother's grave and walked down the trees of the forest and stumbles upon the road, walking back down to the city, to return safely to see Twinkle waiting in the house all alone, Axel looks at the gravestone, and thoughts spread, '' This is not goodbye more like a farewell gift. '' *He collected a bunch of white flowers on his way to fulfill his mother's wish and place it on her grave, returning out of the city, before she disappears inside the tree.
Axel returns to the house to see Twinkle still in her gown all torn and muddy all over, awake still and safely checking he looks at her, not injured or hurt for him not to worry. He put down his coat, '' Twinkle, we will have a simple talk! ''
Axel said, '' First! ''
'' Go and take a bath. ''
'' We will have a proper conversation. '' *he promises his mother that he won't lose his temper with her.
Twinkle's puppy face said, '' You aren't mad at me? ''
Axel said, '' No! I'm not. ''
Axel addresses here to go take a bath as well, '' Now go change. ''
'' I am going to go take a shower as well. '' *he marched back up to his father's room to shower.
Twinkle did the same and went to his room to bathe.
They both let off their steam tempers and minds put to rest in their showers and knew their conversation will long. In his room because the two had a lot going on. They had to reconcile all of the matters that happened to put things aside.
This Chapter ends here. ^^
