Grace and alone

               ****FLASHBACK****
I placed the Pearl necklace mother Had let me borrow on the vanity I wore my outdoor dress Violet one of the workers mother had hired was taking us to the play field she had told us to change into my outdoor dress so my evening dress wouldn't get ruined.

"Mori hurry up it's my turn" Grace rushed me practically shoving me of the chair in front of the mirror "sit in the bed and face the wall" she demanded taking out the earrings mother had given her placing them down on the vanity she stared at the pearls "are those pearls yours" I stayed facing the wall but shook my head "mother let me borrow them I'm keeping them there so they are safe" I answered Grace scoffed standing up out the chair.

She walked over to our chest if draws opening h the e second draw she took out the blood red lipstick she kept and put it on rubbing her lips together "can I have some?" I asked she thought for a moment before grinning and nodding "just put it over on the vanity when your done" she said as she closed the door behind her leaving me the only one in the room

I put on the blood red lipstick carefully patting it with my fingers like a saw mother so once I put the lid on and placed it on the vanity just like Grace had said I left the room and walked to the open room where father was reading his paper and Grace was standing when Grace saw me she smiled and began walking up the stairs "where are you going?" I asked she turned around "I forgot my cardigan"

I turned to father who had now placed his paper down "come on give me a hug before you go" he asked taking his reading glasses of he pulled me into a tight hug and I giggled as he lifted me in the air when Grace came down he put me down kissing my forehead "have fun" Grace frowned "don't I get a hug" she screwed her face "you can have....where's your cardigan" father cut himself off

Grace had a shocked look on her face before she huffed "I don't know how but I've managed to forget it" father waved his hand "oh well, you better go before violet leaves without you" he smiled at us one last time before we left

When we returned mother had a frowned pierced in to her face she stood with her arms crossed "hello Grace, Mori where is my Pearl necklace" she accused I unbuckled my shoes placing them on the rack "don't worry mother I left them on the vanity"
She shook her head  "don't you lie to me young girl, I've been searching for them everywhere and there not anyways I trusted you with them so where are they and don't you lie to me" she shouted but I was not lying I was telling the truth
"But-" I was cut of by my mother "would you also like to explain why the lipstick that I gifted Grace is destroyed and why you have wrote 'I hate Grace' on the mirror" she pointed her finger in my face I looked at Grace who stood next me I felt betrayed she had done it again

"Now now Caroline, I'm sure there's some explanation to this" father jumped to my defence he new what Grace had been doing and would put up a fight "your a bitch" I shouted at Grace pushing her she stumbled back "Grace where is your cardigan, you went upstairs for your cardigan where is it" my father asked while Grace stood there by my mother

"Are you really trying to accuse my daughter" mother pulled Grace closer to her "well your trying to accuse my daughter" father defended mother let out a cruel laugh "James don't be so Naive she's not you child, you know she's not yours and I pity you for believing she ever was" mother argued

"What?" My bottom lip wobbled tears streamed down my face my father was silent which Confirmed it was the truth "violet, take these two to bed" my mother asked violet took Grace to bed first then me after she held my hand unlike with Grace giving me a reassuring look she took at a hanker chief wiping my face "don't worry I believe you" she whispered as she tucked me into bed

As soon as I heard Grace snoring I got up out of bed I grabbed a small bag from our cupboard I stuffed it with clothes money from my pig bank and I put the bag around me i walked over to Grace standing a over her as she slept "i hate you" i whispered before I silently tiptoed downstairs to the kitchen I expected it to be empty but there violet sat with a cup of tea in her hand she placed it down frowning at the sight of me

"Mori what Are you doing up? It's late" she asked "can you pack me some food please?" She took the bag from me placing it on the table "sit here and I will get you some food" I did as instructed as I sat swinging my legs she walked back in and placed a paper bag In front of me wich I placed in my Satchel "what are you planning?"

I gave her a weak smile "I'm running away you can't tell anyone" I told her "but where will you go?" I smiled "I've got a couple of ideas, don't worry I'll write letters" she held my hand "make sure to stay safe and once you've taken the key of the hook post it through the letterbox, I promise I didn't see a thing" she grinned hugging me "now shoo, I'm about to blow the candles out"

That was years ago from now I am living In London happily away from my evil mother and sister I visit Violet in secret sometimes she tells me about how life is tells me Grace feels guilty and his father is in good health

"She told me on the night you left she heard you moving around the room says you walked over to her and said that you hate her she says she hates herself for it" Violet retold to me I huffed "well at least she's in good health" violet gave me a down turned smile "I'm worried about you, the real question should be are you in good health" violet told me of her concern each visit

"Don't worry about me violet tell father that I miss him I'll write to him again to" father knows that violet helped me leave but did not judge but in fact thanked violet called her a saint
