Mom's The Word Sofia The First Novels & Stories

She just looked over her shoulder while she ran, giving me a smile that was way too sweet to trust. “Gemma!” From the chili patch, Mama’s voice shot out instantly. The spatula from earlier had been replaced by small garden shears, but the threat level was unchanged. “Sofia! If one chili breaks, I’m selling you to a convent!” The two little heads skidded to a stop at the edge of the soil, their feet almost slipping. Sofia lifted both hands first, panting, then arranged her fake-angel face. “Abuelaaa…” she said, drawing it out, voice dripping with counterfeit honey.

It was like the whole Elianna situation had been forgotten. As my mother spoke, Sofia emerged from the red room, her movements slow and deliberate. My mother's eyes widened slightly, then softened. She immediately stepped forward, pulling Sofia into a warm embrace. "Sofia, darling," she said, her voice filled with affection. "It's so good to see you." She held Sofia at arm's length, her brow furrowing. "But you seem… unwell. What's wrong, dear?" Sofia forced a weak smile. "Nothing, Mother," she lied, her voice barely a whisper. "Just a bit tired."

she tells me as we get closer and break into a run to get their faster. Sure enough in the center of the fairy stools in mom her eyes white and foggy and she’s chanting something under her breath. With a loud howl I call for pops and the other. “Mom” Sofia says stepping into the circle with mom and kneels in front of her. Moms hand shoots out grabbing Sof by the wrist then her eyes turn white like moms. Sofia starts shaking and little whimpers slip past her lips, fear strikes me and I try to get to her but I cant pass the stools as if I’m being blocked.

Now it feels like armor I’ve outgrown, but can’t take off. As we approach, my mother turns first. Always the first to sense me. Her gaze sweeps over me, quick but thorough. She smiles brightly and her hands instantly pull me in a hug. "My Goddess, you look wonderful, Kaya." She lets me out of her embrace. "Straight from a fairytale." "Thank you, Mom. You too." I say as I look behind her at Sofia, standing in a yellow gown that melts with the blond strands of her hair. "And you, Sofia. Just wow."

he said calmly as he moved towards my parents. "Where is Sofiya?" My Mom asked. "She's in here" We walked into Sofiya's ward. "Why won’t give me your number?" Sofiya kicked her feet in the air. "Miss Sofiya, please stop-" "I won't stop until you give me your number!!" "Theo" Leonard glared at him. "Huh," Sofiya hurriedly stood up and smiled. "Uncle, auntie! You're here already" "Is this the girl that almost got raped last night?" My Mom raised an eyebrow.

Mom followed me until we reached a corner where only a few people were hanging. I leaned on the wall, facing mom as I crossed my arms over my chest. "I hate this! You clearly know that I hate this idea, mom! I don't even wanna live with that guy! I don't want a da---" "Sofia!" She scolded. "You haven't even met Franklin. I'm asking you to give yourself a chance to know him. Yes, he is not your dad! But he is willing to treat you like his own little child. Give him a chance!"

SOFIA If this was a dream. Except that it wasn’t. I wasn’t sure if I was really the one listening or not. I just stared, her words went into my ears and settled there. The rest of what she was saying comfortably rang in my ears. “Our parents would never have given the mob to someone like you. You're too soft, Sofia. Too weak to handle the power and make difficult choices. They would have given it all to me, without a second thought."

"I mean it. Without you, Emma wouldn't have a mother. I wouldn't have a future. You gave me that." Sofia appeared, waving her drawing. "Mami! Look what I made!" The picture showed two women in capes flying through the air. One had dark hair and a stethoscope, me.. The other had brown hair and held a baby, Lily. Above them, Sofia had written in careful letters: "SUPERHEROES WHO SAVE PEOPLE." Lily laughed. "I love it. Can I get a copy?" "You can have the original." Sofia beamed. "Because you and Mami really are superheroes."

I said, stifling a groan as I adjusted. She left the room. A few minutes later, I heard a soft sound. I turned and saw Sofia moving in her bed. Her eyes fluttered open. They were like the sky. Big, bright blue eyes that knocked the breath out of me. She looked at me and tilted her head. “Who are you?” I froze. Her voice was so soft. “I think I’ve dreamt of you before,” she said, scrunching her nose. Something inside me skipped. I smiled and stood up, walking closer to the bed. “I’m your mommy’s friend,” I said.

her mum said in an excited tone. Arlene turned the volume up to the loudest and they kept up with their mini karaoke which was pretty much loud, because people on the road started to look at them. But then none of them cared, to Arlene her mum was a vibe and not like the regular southingham mothers who were boring and lame. These were the moments she lived for, there was never a dull moment with her mum even though they had little cat fights, but it was normal with females. “Do you think dad would be back from work by now?” Arlene asked her mum who was still caught up in the blues of the music playing.
