Must I Say Sorry?

Chione's words brought her pause. Natalya stopped again, her back to her daughter, and listened. She listened and she grew angry. So her daughter thought her a murderer as well? Thought that she would simply drop every pup off a cliff that irritated her? She resented the poison in the girl's voice and she wanted nothing more than to teach her just what he place was, but she knew that was a useless idea. Chione was receptive to nothing it seemed - not love, not threats, absolutely nothing.

"How dare you?" she growled without turning to face her child. "I said nothing of the sort, but clearly you believe your mother some sort of villain. Rather than ask me about what you heard, you chose to believe the uninformed words of others, to believe that I would attempt to kill my own children for no reason. Thank you, Chione, for making it clear just what you think of me."

"You will find love here no longer. You are still your father's daughter, but I no longer consider you mine. Go to him any time you need love and attention, but do not dare come to me."

And with that she would leave definitively, pain and anger coursing through her and masking the sure consequences of her words.
