"Stop crying" the mother said calmly but she looked at the boy with an angry face.
The mother is an evil spirit and would look angry whenever she's annoyed.
The boy felt terrified and staggered backwards.
The mother looked at her daughter "Don't mind that boy"
"Huh, yes" the daughter answered, confused.
"I-i will leave now" The boy wanted to leave right away 'that woman is so scary'.
"You wanted to leave at this time in the night?" the mother looked at him with a frown.
"Stay here" the mother told the boy "Besides, where else can you go?".
"I-" the boy don't know how to answer, He indeed does not have a place to go. He and his father would just wander the world and experience beautiful things and place.
"Stay here for the night and you can leave tomorrow." the mother told the boy.
The boy still felt terrified but indeed does not have a place to go, it's also night time so he agreed.

The next morning
The boy woke up and saw the mother cooking fried rice.
"M-morning" the boy said feeling afraid.
"Morning" the mother said calmly.
"Go and help me, go and get three bowls and spoon in the shelves." The mother asked the boy.
"Yes"
The little girl also woke up.
"Good morning mom! Erm... good morning er...-boy!" the little girl said.
"Shawn" the boy said.
"Huh?" the girl asked, confused.
"My name's Shawn". Said Shawn.
"Em... Good morning Shawn!" The girl said feeling a little shy. "My name is Hannah"
"Yeah, Hannah" the boy said tiredly.
Hannah knew that his dad died but she doesn't know how to comfort people and just looked away.
"Sit down. Let's eat." said the mother.
They finished eating.
The mother was washing the bowls and suddenly said "Leave if you want or stay if you need".
The little girl looked over the boy.
"I-I'll leave" answered the boy hesitantly.
"Then leave now" Said the mother 'Is he gonna wander around with no one?' *sigh*.
The boy got up from the chair and got out of the hut.
"Is he actually gonna leave?" the little girl turned to ask her mother.
The mother looked at the door "He'll come back".
There are many ferocious beast scattered throughout the mountain. Even a low level snake can kill hundreds of humans because of how venomous it is.
