Crobat Memories

Start from that day, I always look at mom eats, I just wonder, why she always eat those things? Are they really tastier than blood?

I keep watching her eat, for days to days, and until one day, dad saw me...

"Zubat? What are you doing here?"

"I'm watching Mama... She eat berries!"

"WHAT?! YOU'RE WATCHING HER?!!"

His sudden shout scared us, I flew to a rock and hide.

"What's wrong with that?" Mama asked.

"Don't you think it's not suitable to eat infront of him?!"

"What's the problem?!"

"You'll lead him bad!"

"Is there any bad I could lead?!"

"Never have any one of our kind have that interest to berries... arh!" He Palmed his head, "Don't you see that you've affected him already?!"

"Does that matter? I think he's free to choose what he wants to eat isn't it?!"

"As a Zubat, he need to be feed by bloods! There's nothing more prider than this for Zubats!!"

"What?! So you just drink for your pride?!"

"Argh! Whatever!! You'd better avoid this, this is my last line!"

He hit at the wall, some little rocks slide down, and he left.

She sighed, and I came out from the hide, "I'm sorry, mama..."

"What?" Her voice back to soft and turned to me.

"I won't watch you eat berries anymore..."

"Silly boy..." She smiled and sit down, "come here?"

I flew to her, she hugs me with her wings again, but this time, I felt a little different, and I don't really know what's it...

"It's not your fault, honey."

"Is it Papa's fault?"

"Neither of us, included your father, he just need a little time to accept, and respect this way."

"Why I have to drink bloods?"

"Because you're a Zubat... But papa can't see that you can eat berries too." She sighed.

Think of I'm not same as Mama, I sobbed.

"Oh, honey, don't cry." She pat on back again, "let me tell you something good, and promise mama, don't cry anymore, Okay?"

I sobbed and tries hard to stop crying, "Em."

"You're going to become a brother." She smiled.

"Really?!" I flew up, "Just, just like brother Golbat?"

"That's right, but you're going to have a sister." She smiled to me with a little red flushing on her face.

"Wow! Where is her now?" I looked around.

"Come down, let me show you." She opened her wings, welcoming me.

I fly into her wings again.

"She's here." She put down a wing to support her sitting pose, but another wing is still holding me.

"Where?" I lean on her stomach.

"Here." She replies me patiently and Pat her little curved stomach with her wing.

"So I'm leaning on my sister?" I looked up to her.

She smiled a little louder, "Right."

I smiled happier. "After the dinner, it's your bed time, remember?"

"I want mama sing me to sleep." I asked.

She smiled again, and sings the lullaby that I always heard from her mouth.
