Helena, the mother, managed to gain her confidence and reply in an acceptable manner: “I’m broke, I have no money, I got sent out of the mansion when I only had one pound to pay for food and two pound at the most for the servants. And then… my only other hope was to find you, my daughter. We can live together… oh and Skyla,” she announced the last bit bitterly and the breeze seemed to get louder and more demanding.
Skyla and Indigo were sisters and they both had different feelings about their mother. Indigo LOVED her but Skyla, not so much.
IN a split second, Skyla thought, ‘I recognise that lady, she’s, she’s MY MOTHER!” She knew her mother despised her like Harry Potter despised Draco Malfoy.
Groping her way through the growing mist-like fog, Her mother peered out and spotted her.
“Mother,” croaked Skyla coldly.
“Skyla,” answered her mother, that bitter and deadly tone lunging its way out of and over her tongue.
For Indigo, an icy blizzard seemed to swirl around the airship, and hover above her head.
“Why are you her Mother,” Skyla spoke solemnly.
“I am broke, with no money and a home. I’ve come to take Indi away and we will find a flat to live into together,”
Their hate for each other was like a fork of lightning, as sharp as a dagger.
“And what about me,” cried Skyla, “I have NEVER felt loved, safe, even cared for. You have always and I mean ALWAYS,” she was screeching now, “favourismed Indigo over me. You hate me, and I hate you. If you want you can abandon me, do it. I am sure that Captain Lark will adopt me!”
The wind was yelping like a fuming wolf, lightning split the sky like a pair of spiky scissors. The sky could feel the hatred too. Their mother climbed down, Indigo following her. Skyla told Lark the story and she agreed to adopt her – in a few years. Skyla and the rest of the crew drifted through the clouds, hoping to land near a villa in Morocco. Would it happen? Would the sisters see each other again? Hopefully. How would their mother react in the future? Would they find the real value of love and compassion?
