Stories of the Past

Taska Takira looked as the white female seemed to soften. Taska smiled sadly at the girl, for it was a sad thing, but in a different way not so much. Her mother had told her to be strong and that is what she is going to be. Kira looked off into the barren grasses, her mind on nothing in particular, letting the soft memories of the past fill her heart and mind. Kira was not lonely per say, just alone. Her life with her mother was everything to her, but she was still with her. Taske had once told Kira that she would never leave her alone, that even if she was not in physical form she was always in Kira's heart, and she knew her mother was right, she still felt her.

As the white dam's voice filled Kira's ears again, she looked back at her, her amber eyes calculating, thoughtful. Taska Takira never knew her father and she would never have any siblings, and her mother was dead; and no matter how much Kira wanted to meet that father she never knew it was likely never to happen, but this female, she had family, loved ones that just need to be found, and that maybe why she felt lonely. Knowing you have no one compared to knowing you have someone but they where gone where two different feelings. Kira nodded at the white female, fully understanding her needs, but unable to feel them herself.

Kira again smiled at the white dam, her amber eyes showing how painful her question was, she was truly alone in life, with neither family or friends to call her own. Yes it was sad, but again it made her stronger for it. "I never knew my father, I do not have siblings, and my mother died when I was three months." Taske blinked her eyes, not allowing the past pain of her mothers loss to fill her mind, she was going to be strong, she was going to keep her mothers memory close to her heart and remember the stories that where told, and then learn from them. "Do not be sorry for me, 'I am all that much stronger because of my loss.'" Kira recited her mother favorite line, her amber eyes looking into the white woman's red ones. "My mother is still in my heart, as long as she is there I am never alone." Kira smiled warmly at the dam then her eyes filling with the pleasant things that have happened to her, even after her mothers death. "Do you want to sit down and tell me how you lost your family?" Kira tilted her head at her, curious about stories of her past.
