"Mommy, why are you crying?"

Calliope asked and I sobbed then hugged her tight

"I was just a replacement after all"

I mumbled and wiped my tears, Calliope wiped my tears and hugged me tight

"Don't worry Mommy, I love you the most!"

Calliope says energetically and I smiled then kissed her forehead

"Mommy loves you too... so don't leave your mother, okay?"

I tucked a strand of her hair and kissed her cheeks

"Mommy, where are you going?"

Calliope asked and I zipped my bag and stood up, I crouched down and more tears fell on my cheeks

"I'll buy you a very pretty doll, so stay here, Okay?"

Calliope nodded her head smiling and I took my luggage and slowly left our room

"Mommy, can you buy my favorite strawberry milk?"

Calliope asked and I nodded my head smiling, Calliope then giggled and ran away to probably play with her toys

"I'm sorry"

3rd Person POV

Morning came and Anastasia didn't come home and it was Calliope all alone in their house

"Mommy, Momma I'm hungry"

Calliope called but no one answered, she giggled and she thought her parents were playing

She ran towards their bedroom and opened it

"I caught you! Oh, maybe the other room"

Calliope giggled and went to her bedroom to find her Momma or Mommy

"Momma! Come out!"

Calliope laughed and when she noticed no one was home, her smile fell.

"Mommy? Momma?"

She mumbled and opened the door and looked around their backyard but no one was home

Tears began to build upon her eyes while she hugged her favorite stuffed toy

She then heard a knock and she hurriedly opened it thinking it was her Mommy Y/n

"Mommy- sister Victoria? Where's Mommy"

Calliope asked and Victoria bit her lips then crouched down to Calliope's level

"Your Mommy... is gone, she- she went to heaven"

Victoria says and Calliope looked who's behind Victoria thinking she was just joking

"This morning her body was found on the shore... I'm sorry Lipe"

Victoria picked Calliope up and tears fell on Calliope's cheeks

"Sister, I don't understand you- where's my Mommy?"

Calliope cried and Victoria hugged the little girl then Calliope cried out loud

Anastasia then arrived and she was confused to see her daughters crying

"What happened? Why are you crying?"

Anastasia asked and walked inside their house as nothing happened

"You, you're the reason why she died!"

Victoria punched her Mother and pinned her on the floor, Victoria then cried and Anastasia looked at her confused

"Your wife died!"

Victoria shouted and she looked shocked for a moment

"I see... that's unfortunate, I guess"

As soon as Victoria heard those words she gritted her teeth and attacked her Mother while Calliope watched them in the corner

She was hugging her legs while crying for help
