I sat at my vanity and opened my drawer, it was no full of Rosetta's letters, money, maps, clues, train tickets and the gold. Rosetta was smart for where she put
it and what she put it in. She told me she was going to see me soon but Eleanor messed up the plan, but knowing Rosetta she probably knows already. I decided to check the mailbox because I haven't gotten a letter for a while and she should not I'm home by now, I ran downstairs and noticed Eleanor some how got in and she's scavenging the kitchen, good thing I found the gold. I just ignored my psycho mother and swiftly ran to the mailbox. I saw it had a slim letter in a purple envelope, theirs clearly a pattern with the purple, the purple bag that held the gold and the same shade of purple envelopes. I grabbed it out and slipped it in my dress to hide it from Eleanor. I rushed inside and noticed that Eleanor moved to look in the living room, she's destroying the house but it's keeping her busy, she's not trying to kill me yet so I left her be and ran upstairs to my room. I sat at my vanity and opened the envelope."Dear Aurora,
I know your mother is back, I know you found the gold and I know about those little friends of yours. Don't ask how I know but I know. I'm disappointed in you but I'm also proud of you for still having a good heart deep down. I need you to figure out some way to escape the house with those friends of yours. Leave Eleanor and make sure she's busy, lead her on to where the gold might be and I need you to pack your things once again and get on a train. I left some money for you under the cookie jar in my bedroom, buy a ticket for you and your friends and make sure your eating and getting sleep on the train. Go to your fathers house and he'll know what to do from there. I have faith in your Aurora and I know your capable of this, he will explain everything and where I am. I just wanted to let you know that I love you very deeply, I'm not doing to well, the bad people have found me a few days ago and since then things have went downhill. Please get to your father as quickly as possible.Sincerely, R.S
That was quite a bit to take in but I don't have time for overthinking it. I went straight to the balcony to tell the others. "Guys um we need to leave in a little bit, please get your things gathered." I spoke clearly unsettled and nervous, quickly leaving the balcony to gather my things, Ian and scarlet followed me in and grabbed their things. "Okay I need to distract Eleanor while you guys leave." I said. "What about you?" Scarlet asked. "I'm coming too but I have to get Eleanor distracted and throw her off course." I explained. I ran downstairs and the others quietly followed and went out the front door, I rushed into Rosetta's room and grabbed the hidden money under the cookie jar and walked out into the living room. "What do you want now!" Eleanor yelled, wiping her hair out of her face, she truly looked like she hasn't showered in weeks, she looked so nice when she arrived though. "I think I know where the gold is and I want you to help me find it-." I started. "Say no more tell me where it is." She ordered. "I think it's at the library downtown or the bakery, me and Rosetta loved going there and our most trusted friends work there." I stated. "Okay I'm on it!" She screamed running out of the house, breaking her high heel and falling in the process of running down the street, I couldn't help but let out a laugh, she's truly stupider than I thought. "Alright guys since she's going that way we need to go through my secret way to the city." I whispered. They both agreed and followed me into the backyard. We walked on the cobblestone path and led to my backyard, we walked through the garden but didn't stop by the river, I jumped across and Ian picked scarlet up and jumped across with her. "Where exactly are we going?" Ian questioned. "Just follow me." I directed.
