Chapter 31: The ghost
Lucy stepped out onto the balcony to get a breath of fresh air the wind blowing her black brown curls back from her face, when suddenly a purple light appeared before her growing larger and larger as a woman who's hair had once been the same dark brown as Lucy's and her eyes the same dark blue as her grandmother's. she wore a furry grey cloak over her purple dress.
Lucy began to smile despite the icy chill of the wind as she looked at the woman with a smile as her hand reached out towards her.
"Hello, mother." she said, fighting back tears as Roxy Black reached out to hold her daughter's face with her gloved hand before tucking a loose strand of her daughter's hair behind her ear.
"I'm so proud of you Lucille, you've grown into a beautiful young lady, you've had to deal with some challenges along the way, but even then you didn't let that define you." she said as tears fell down her pale face.
"I get that from you. You've saved me on more than one occasion mama, I miss you very much, I know that father and Dimitry do too." Lucy said as she opened her palm to reveal the necklace that her father had proposed to her mother with long ago.
"You can have your necklace back now mama." Lucy said as she held it out to her mother who shook her head with a smile before closing her daughter's hand around the necklace.
"It belongs to you now my love, I want you to keep it as a reminder that I will always be with you." Roxy said as she re-clipped the necklace around her daughter's neck before stepping back slightly to look at her daughter.
"Mom?" Lucy called just as her mother's ghost was about to fade, making Roxy turn back to look at her daughter. "I love you." she said with a small smile which made her mother smile too.
"I love you too." Roxy said, as she pressed a kiss to her daughter's forehead before giving her daughter a parting smile before waving as she faded in a shimmer of purple and silver starlight.
