Missing rose

Where are they?

Ethan's pov...

It has been a while since i moved a muscle, mainly because my legs was a little sore from running away from...whatever those things were supposed to be. It took about half an hour but as soon as my leg was finally healed i used the strength that was left inside of my knees to crawl out from under the machine, entering a pathway where the light from the outside shined. During times like this i was a little grateful, mainly because if it wasn't for the light that shined brightly from outside there was a higher chance i wouldn't have made it out of this foul place. Knowing the light was my only ticket to freedom i knew i had to follow before something bad happens down here. Following the light was a little hypnotizing yet a little difficult when you have to walk in the dark also. As i followed the light to the cold enlightenment i was forced to crawl on my legs in order to avoid hurting my knee once more, due to my leg already feeling a little busted from my last fall. As i crawled through the open tunnel the foul smell of blood, dead bodies, and bugs was getting the best of me, making me want to throw up immediately.

As much as i wanted to cough up the sickness i was receiving from this foul smell i knew for sure i didn't have much time for any of it to spill, mainly because there's a higher chance that those monsters that are still above me have probably still haven't given up yet. As i continued to crawl towards the light a voice inside my head made me stop and think for a moment. " Did any of those freaks have Rose?," as much as that thought made me want to turn back and face whatever's behind me i knew that it wouldn't be the right path to ever finding her. I knew for sure if i truly wanted to find Rose i needed to come up with a plan and without a plan or a time to think in particular i would be standing on my last life at this very moment. This dangerous moment in my mind is far beyond repair but i promised my wife Mia and my daughter Rose that i would always  protect them no matter what...even if i have to lose my knee in order to do so, but first...i need to find Eleanore.

A minute has gone by and i was still slowly crawling towards my rightful destination, making it really tiring and embarrassing since i had a feeling if Eleanore was with me at this moment there was absolutely no way she would ever let me live this off. As i finally reached freedom i was happy to breathe the breath of cold air and snow on the outside. " Ah..finally," i softly said, but i knew just because i finally made it out doesn't mean i was going to be let off of the hook that easily. In order for me to be able to find Eleanore i'm going to have to follow her tracks, which mean i'm going to have to go back to the well she was dropped in. I knew it would be a risky task but if i want to find her the well is the first place i am going to have to look at.

As i finally made it out the cold breeze of winter was the only thing keeping me alive. I was more than happy to feel the breeze of snow brushing on my jacket and the feeling of the wind chilling my skin and tickling my nose. After reaching outside i slowly turned my head to see scarecrows that was standing in front of me but except for regular scare crows they where actual villagers with their faces covered up in blooded mask. Watching the sight was revolting, maybe even more revolting than anything i have seen all year but at the same time this  nothing new to me and i'm sure i will see worse so why complain. All i have to worry about is to find my daughter and my friend and then we'll all are going to get the hell out of this place.

Knowing i didn't have much time left i walked down the trail where that " Donna" girl was supposed to be. As i continued to walk down the trail a carriage or whatever it was opened to reveal some...guy...who was sitting inside of his territory. " My, My Ethan Winters," he said, quickly capturing my attention. " Why, it's a surprise to see you," he said. " I haven't seen you since the day you turned 8," he smiled, almost laughing in a process.

" Who the fuck are you?," I asked, causing him to give me a confused expression. "Are you saying that you do not remember me Mr Winters?," he asked, hands over his heart like he was heart broken. " I've been watching over you for a long time," he said. After a second have gone by he sighed with a small smile on his face."Well it's best i introduce myself," he said." I am the Duke and it is a pleasure and honor to meet you," he said. I don't really know who this guy is, even if he did introduce himself to me. Whatever this guy is or whatever " Duke" person he is supposed to be he is doing nothing but wasting my time. I need to find my friend and my daughter needs me. In response i gave him a firm expression. "Listen i don't have time for this," i said. " I need to find my friend and you're in the way," i said, walking past the carriage to finish the trail. " I don't think it would be the best idea to search for Eleanore at the doll makers house ya know?," he said, quickly capturing my attention. " And what would you know about that?," i asked, causing him to chuckle a little.

" Well aren't they still looking for you?," he asked, saying it like it was SO obvious that those creatures was still tracking me down. " And how do you know her name?," i asked. " I knew her since she was a baby," he explained. " So this time you've been watching us?," i asked, a little confused. " More like watched over you Mr winters," he said, causing me to cross my arms. " And besides...you are the hero who have come to save his daughter," he said, causing my eyes to lit up at his words. " WAIT!," i shouted as he chuckled a little. " Do you know where Rose is?,"i asked,causing him to softly sigh. "I wish, but i do not," he said. " But i do know a way for you save your daughter," he said. 'WHERE?," i asked, making him tilt his head to the side. "Oh? Well aren't you the impatient one?," he chuckled." QUIT STALLING AND JUST GET TO THE DAMN POINT!," i angrily said as he still kept his expression. " In order for you to find your daughter you first need to find Eleanore," he explained.

" So how do you expect me to find Eleanore?," i asked. " Where would you think the well would go?," he asked, turning my attention around to where a castle remained standing. Before then i didn't even see the castle so why am i just now seeing it. As i looked at the castle i looked right back at the Duke as he kept his usual happy expression. " You mean to tell me that Eleanore and my daughter could possibly be in that castle?," i asked. Not answering my question i slowly became annoyed. " Well ARE THEY!?!?," i asked, causing him to shake his head in response.

" Why don't you go and find out?," he asked. Our conversation ended i turned around and walked down the trail towards the castle. If what this guy is saying is true than there is a higher chance that Eleanore have already found Rose by now.

The more i walked the faster i became.

Don't worry i'll find you...
