Shattered Memories Category: Blogging
Ayumi's sadness was overpowering her deeper everyday. From the day she let go of her kids her depression worsened. Moving from place to place she tried to disassociate from her horrible experience. Ayumi's children were her entire world. That being said, she knew deep in her broken heart that Gage and Emma would be better off without her. They would never have to witness her debilitating illness. She suffered with despair and despondency for her entire existence. Never being able to truly be happy, she slipped deep into the abyss of desolation. For many years she hid away in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. Living in a rundown cabin, she isolated herself, completely disappearing from the world.
Often she thought about her children, sometimes finding a subtle smile and joy in her broken heart. A vivid memory of their voices or seeing their beautiful faces. Ayumi often wondered if her daughter would even remember her. Emma was so very young when she had to leave them behind. Her fair haired pretty little girl, so young, so innocent. Most likely Emma would have no recollection of her mother at all. This deepened Ayumi's grieving condition. Emma was only four years old when Ayumi had to say goodbye to her precious daughter.
Ayumi began to have lucid dreams of both Gage and Emma. Sometimes the visions were so real she felt she could almost touch them. She would awaken to lonely darkened room, tears would stream down her cheeks. Nightly the same dream occurred, bringing Ayumi near to the brink of insanity. "Enough Ayu, you need to find your kids. You know Gage is residing in the Black Kingdom. King David is long gone." As for Emma, she did not know where she would have ended up at. She hoped the blacksmith found loving parents for her tiny heart, Emma LeStat. One day she would search for them, if even just to say how sorry she was for leaving them.
Ayumi had one other child in her lifetime with a another man. She too had to let the father take her young daughter named Blaze away. Grief stricken, Ayumi knew she just was too ill to raise children, to bring them up right and happy. She married a different man years later. Never for one second, forgetting her other children, her heart always remained shattered.
After her divorce, she knew it was now time to reach out to her kids. She had found Gage and Blaze they were easy to find. her broken heart once again was decimated over her children. They were all adults by now. One night Ayumi reached out to her kids in a dream state. She used a spell she had been taught by an elder vampire. She began projecting her memories of that fateful day she had to say farewell to Gage and Emma. She hoped that the spell would reach into Emma's mind. Hopefully sparking some memories of Ayumi and that terrible day. Ayumi did not do this to sadden the now adult daughter of hers. She was hopeful, that possibly Emma would remember Gage and herself.
