Blaze
…to blaze abroad the matter…
Chapter One page 3
Blaze walked over to Matthew squatting so that he and she were
eye to eye. “It’s your choice as to how long you stay in this position,” she
whispered. Matthew’s piercing stare gave Blaze her answer. Standing and crossing
her arms Blaze said aloud, “You’re not very bright are you? Open your eyes you
imbecile.” Matthew’s stare became even more menacing. Giving up Blaze turned
and smiled at Autumn she motioned for the two to sit on the couch. Their long
talk went well into the night.
Three months went
by and Autumn blossomed. No longer did she looked frail and dirty. Her pale
cheeks had resumed its rosy color, her shoulder length brunette hair was clean
and shiny, the scrawny body was replaced with a figure that turned heads.
She wore clean dresses that her new “mom” had made. The breakfast that Blaze had made filled the air with the aroma of sweet bread, molasses, and a peeled naval orange. Autumn
stared at her mom, who was washing the dishes. Autumn was taken aback by her beauty. Blaze had hair as black as
tar that shined and shimmered like the stars. Her violet colored oval shaped eyes
were mesmerizing. She possessed flawless brown skin that came into contrast but
somehow complemented her full purple lips. Blaze’s high cheek bones were the
distinguishing point of her beauty. I love my beautiful new mom, she thought.
Autumn took a bite of her sweet bread before asking, “Mom,
what is your real name?” “I am Blaze, my darling little one.” “How can that be?” “Blaze is the fiery lady who helped me.” “I am she, she is me we are one.” answered Blaze. “Oh I see,” replied Autumn, but she really didn't see. Autumn drank her
glass of milk after she had consumed her meal. She made a quick trip to the washroom before kissing Blaze’s cheek. Autumn waved goodbye to her father. Matthew’s ominous stare no longer frightened
Autumn. She had developed a profound pity for her mean spirited father instead.
Her father Matthew, sat unable to speak or move, hated his
daughter. He could not understand why
she looks at him with pity and believe it or not, with love. How could Autumn love him after the horrible
way he had treated her?
