All Chapters of TWO FATES, ONE THRONE.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 4

CHAPTER 1 RAVEN’S POVStepping into the cold, empty apartment with Nan’s ashes in the jar on my arm, it feels surreal being here without her—without her to scold me when I come back from the bathroom with water in my hair: “You’ll catch a cold and when that happens, I won’t take care of you” those were her tough words they were lies —she loved me. Or to call my name the minute I step in from a bad day at school “My sweet Nora, it will be all right.”This place feels too cold, if she were the heater would have been turned on during the winter, but living in the hospital this past few months, there has been no one to ensure the house was warm enough.Winters are always so cold; it used to be my favorite holiday but the thought of spending it without Nan is suffocating.I don’t want to be here.I really don’t know what I will do, I thought she was going to survive, I really thought she had a long time that I was going to be able to speak to her about these changes I am experiencing.On

CHAPTER 3RAVEN’S POVIt’s been six days since Nan died. I can tell from how empty the apartment feels and how much of a mess this place has become.I got up today, stumbling through Nan’s room, and my feet knocked over her hospital bag.I openend it up with tears in my eyes, pulling out the contents slowly.My hand grazed her favorite winter coat—she always claimed it cost a fortune. I smiled at the thought.I brought it close to my nose and inhaled deeply. Her scent of vanilla and cinnamon, mixed with a little bit of the hospital smell, lingered, and I never felt more at peace since she died.Unfolding the coat, ready to put it on, a letter dropped from it.I picked it up, scared to open it— but I did.I wanted to know what she was thinking.My Sweetheart,If you are reading this, then I have probably had to say goodbye to you—in person but not in spirit.I am sorry I left. I am sorry I didn’t tell you in time, but I don’t regret it. What I do regret is not hiding it better.All
