I often wonder what it would be like if my mother was still here. The peacful chirp of her beautiful voice. The sound of the river, and the sound of the birds, and insects buzzing harmlessly...Except for the day she left me forever.

" ... Feven? are you alright, dear?" i opened my eyes and shifted to look at my mother." yeah... was i screaming or something?" i whispered silentley as i looked over into the pitch black darkness outside of the thicket. " yes, you were kicking and screaming so i wondered about the nightmare you had." i could only see the thin outline of her face in the dark and her ghost white breath clouding the outline. i could here the crickets and her breathing, and the drip of rain outside. " i am sorry, mother. I wont have any mor nightmares!" i smiled and layed down to rest my head in the thick, plush grass that mom flattened out in the corner of the thicket. "ok, get some sleep now." i heard her chuckle, her high voice was peaceful, and to that i drifted into another restless nightmare.
I woke up to the sound of birds and the bright sunlight shining into the thicket. The bright day slid through the thick branches. I looked up and noticed my mother grazing outside. The thin outline of her skinny body was so beautiful, her pelt gleamed, i thought my mother was the most fair of the deer in the forest. She flicked her long tail and looked up to see me. She smiled and shook her beatisul striped fur, it was long and wavy. "good morning, feven! I hope you slept well." she grinned and stared at me, hoping i would answer. "yep! im mighty hungry though..." i drifted of and glanced around the big room in hope of finding something left-over. she chuckled and looked over to me." well, you aint gonna find much in there, so come on out!" She walked away until i couldn't see through bright sunlight. I got up and walked outside slowly, blinking my eyes, and smiling. " yeah, its better out here then it is in the thicket. I looked around until something caught my eye. I saw a river, the most beautiful river i have seen. I walked over and slurped the water thirstilly. Just then i saw the reflection of another deer in the water..... (to be continued).
