Chapter 1
I woke up and found myself lying on snow. Where am I ?
I don't know this place.
I get up from ground and saw that it was a small village with house made up of woods and a small way leads to forest. In the way there were so many red lantern lights. It was midnight and thousands of stars were in sky.
I decided to ask for some help. I walked towards a small house.
"Please open the door", I knocked on the door. "Please. I'm lost. Please open the door or I will die in this dead winter outside".
A woman opened the door. She had black hair and ocean like eyes.
"Sorry but I am lost and I don't think that I can survive in this cold outside " I said.
"Oh come in dearie" she said.
I stepped inside. It was a small room. A small table in middle and a leather sofa. Some books in bookshelf. There was low fire burning in fire place. That fire was the only source of light there. At a corner there were stairs going up.
"Sit here dear. Let me bring you something hot" she said and walked up to the stairs.
I sat near the fireplace.
A moment before I was sitting in my living room reading a book then after a minute I was here. How?
She came back after a while.
She handed me a wooden cup. It's edge were covered with chocolate and marshmallows were floating in that hot coffee.
I took a sip of coffee and I felt like I am back home.
"What is your name daughter?" She asked me.
"Tulip." I said.
"Tulip. Do you live alone? Is there any one you can call for help?"she asked.
"I live alone. I never knew my father and my mother died when I was 12"
"What is your age now?"
"I'm 16. Don't worry. I'm used to live alone."
"You was never alone", she said in a sing song voice.
"Pardon me?" I was so confused. This woman doesn't even know about me and she is saying that I was not alone?
"I was always with you. Daughter" she said.
Her last word make me cold. I looked at her again. She has same eyes as me, same hair as me, same face like me.
She looks exactly like me or like my mother.
"Mother?" I asked almost in a whisper.
She gave me a warm smile. My heart stop beating for a minute. I felt cold wind flowing through my lungs. My hairs losing grip of my tight ponytail. I felt like I was falling and falling and falling and falling and falling.
I opened my eyes and found myself lying on sofa of my living room.
Was it a dream? But........
I looked out. It was first snow of the year. I stood up and my earing fell off.
I can still hear her voice.
Mother. She was my mother.
I looked back at my book, my eyes fell on a line:
'She woke up and thought that it was just a dream but little she knows that it was not a dream but love of someone she once used to love '.
