Cherry laughter filled the air, a warm and bright setting around the mother and son. A beautiful scenery, the sky filled with warm pinks, oranges, yellows and light specks of purple. The trees hitting the sky perfectly the scent of flowers and oak in the air. The mother and son held each other close basking in the beautiful scenery wrapped in a small coat to protect them from the chilly air.

”It’s so pretty mama!” The small boy cried out to his mother. “It is isn’t it my little angel” the woman said in a soft tone to her son. They small boy looked at his mother and smiled happy to enjoy this moment with his mom. He looked at the sunset and cuddled up more into his mom slowly shutting his eyes from tiredness and falling asleep.

”Mama?” The small boy said to his mother who was on her bed coughing.”D-don’t worry my l-little angel I’m fine..” she said coughing in between her sentence. She stopped coughing and looked over at her son reaching out a hand and holding his cheek, he leaned into the touch. 

“See I’m fine..” she said in a weak voice, the son was worried for his mother she seemed to be sick for a while and it wasn’t a common cold. His father wasn’t there to help her or him he always went out coming home drunk or angry. The son approached his father wanting to tell him that his mother was sick, “U-um father there’s something I want to tell you..” he said quietly to the man who was drinking a bottle of beer.”What!” He yelled out to the poor boy, “W-well mother is sick and I thought you could go by some medicine for her..” he said softly to not trigger the drunk man. “Why should I you little brat!” He yelled out snapping his neck towards him.

The small boy flinched at his father, “W-well she has been coughing more then usual, a-and she looks rather pale and can barely walk..”. “L-listen here you little brat! I ain’t spending money on that useless woman who does nothing but stay in bed!” He yelled at the trembling boy. “She’s in bed all bay because she’s sick!” The small boy covered his mouth regretting what he said to him.

”What did you say to me..” the man said in a scary tone. “N-nothing it w-was on accident!..” he yelled trying to reason with the man. The man broke the bottle he was holding on the ground and pointing it at the small boy “You raise that tone with me one more time and you’ll wake up dead the next morning! Got it!” Threatening the already shaking boy “Y-yes sir!” He said running back to his mothers room and closing the door running to the woman and getting under the covers with her crying. The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at the biy next to her crying. “My sweet angel what happened?..” she said in a concerned tone, “P-papa, was b-being mean t-t-to me..” he said hiccuping and stuttering in between his sentence.

”oh my sweet angel..” she said in a soft tone holding the crying child. The boy continued to cry on his mother holding her tightly but not enough to hurt her. She stayed with him until he stopped crying on her and lifted his face seeing red puffy eyes and small tears being left behind. She lifted her thumb and wiped away his tears. “Listen to me my little angel.. I don’t have much time left before I go..” Dream looked at her “W-where are you going?” He said softly “I’m going to a magical place called heaven.. somewhere nice and happy but before I go I wanted to give you this..”. She slowly stood up and went to the drawer besides her and opened it rummaging for a bit and getting out a small box that was hidden under all the things in the drawer and gave the box to him. “Open it..” she said, and he slowly opened the box to find a pair of scissors, they looked odd they had an engraved design and were rather light compared to scissors that size. “W-what’s this?” He questioned to his mom, “they are magical scissors they take you to whatever you imagine, different places universes, and times.. I-I’m giving you these so you could protect them, you may use these wisely and make sure you take good care of them okay?..” he said eyes squinting a bit as she smiled. The boy felt tears come out of his eyes “O-okay mama..” he said holding the scissors close to him. She laid back in the bed and closed here eyes and softly saying “ goodbye daydream..”

Dream woke up and opened his eyes “heh, just a Dream..” he touched his face and realized there was tears on his face, he realized he was crying. He looked around the dark cold cell that he lived in and cried. He stopped after a while and went to his chest that he had in the cell, he moved all the books that tommy gave him. He looked at the bottom of the chest and saw a little black box he grabbed the box and slowly opened it. He grabbed the scissors and smiled, this was the only memory he had of his mother, he had them throughout all the wars, all the stealing, and even when he was put in prison. “I did what you said mom.. I kept them safe..”
