This choice: Kelly focuses on her daughter Emily • Go Back...Chapter #6Rebuilding a Relationship by: Mr.Domino   Kelly turned to the floating mirror, her excitement turning to determined resolve as she gazed upon her daughter's adult face.
"Oh, Emily..." Kelly whispered, and slid a slender hand across her daughters face in the mirror. From here, Kelly saw that her recent changes had not affected her daughter, who was still studiously focused on her college class, her face furrowed in effort as she took notes and listened to whatever her instructor was saying beyond the mirror's range of vision. Kelly felt once more the pang of sadness and anger that had come from being pushed away from her daughter's life. But now she could fix it.
But how? Even if Kelly were to go to her daughter at this instance, willing herself to Emily's location via her newfound power, the reunion would not go well. Kelly was a stranger to her daughter, one that was built around lies and deceits backed up by Kelly's own poor life choices. There was no relationship there, and Kelly appearing would only cause her daughter to move further away from her, even if she recognized her mother, who was now as old as she was. No, the only way that she would ever repair her relationship with her daughter was through her powers, these glorious, godly things that had placed KElly into paradise.
There were two options that Kelly could think of, as she took a seat in a luxuriously comfortable recliner on a balcony that overlooked the ocean, the mirror gliding along with her silently. First, she could simply will her daughter into loving her, to manipulate her entire soul to where, despite everything, Emily loved her mother and wanted to have a relationship with her. But that particular option seemed...wrong to Kelly. For one, there was the who;e 'same age as her' problem, and secondly, as real as it would be for everyone else, Kelly was unsure about forcing her daughter to love her. It felt, strange in the light of recent events though it may be, as cheating. But it was the fast option with immediate success, save for being the same age.
The second option seemed far more appealing to Kelly, though it would effectively erase the Emily that existed now. The thought of making Emily younger excited Kelly, though was she really ready for the amount of effort that was required in raising a child? And what kind of mother would she be? She was effectively trading one child for another, one who would be entirely different from the Emily that existed now, if she chose to fully wipe her daughter's memories as she was regressed. But it would be a second chance to fix everything, to make it how it should have been...
Kelly furrowed her brow and pulsed a wine glass made of crystal and filled with delicious looking white wine into existence, taking a slow drink as she pondered her daughter's fate to the sounds of bird song and waves.  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
