Restart With Love (A Regal Academy fanfic)

Goodbyes

Rose POV
———————

"Are you all packed up?" Eliza asked adjusting the bow in my hair.

I nodded wordlessly.

They were giving me away.

"We love you," Elliot my brother gave a grin.

Tears welled in his eyes.

I started to sniffle, "I don't want to go..." I said softly grabbing his arm.

"Please don't make me,"

"You have to," Eliza said sternly not taking no for an answer.

"But, I thought you loved me?"

She sighed, "I do, and that is why you are leaving.

You will be staying with a family friend, the Snow White family will keep you safe in the meantime.

Their military is stronger than ours: guaranteeing your safety.

Plus you will have a ... friend. A young boy around your age."

She seemed to have thought this through. There would be no way to convince her.

"Oh look! Here they come!" Elliot pointed to a carriage.

The carriage wasn't a nice carriage though. It was worn down.

I crinkled my nose as more broken down carriages came.

Maybe I could ask Eliza to make nicer ones for them.

Their off a man with blue hair jumped off the pretty pony.

"Hey there!" He kneeled down, "that's a pretty doll you got there!"

"It's a bunny." I held it out for him, "here you can hold him, if you want,"

He grinned, "what's your name?"

"His name is Feral!"

He froze as his face went slack, "I beg your pardon?"

"His name is feral! I had to fight one of the palace dogs for him.

I thought he had rabies... but he doesn't," I shrugged as I explained playing with the bow tie my sister sewed on him.

"Well, pleased to meet you Feral," he smiled as he shook my rabbits hand.

"And who is this cutie?"

"This is Rose, I trust that she'll be in your care," Eliza held onto me. Tighter.

The tone changed to a serious one.

"Of course, she'll be safe."

"We trust you, thank you so much," Granny said dabbing her tears away with a tissue.

"Goodbye dear, we love you," she kissed me as my brother helped me in the carriage.

"Don't get to close with that little boy- I don't want to beat more people up, but I will. Love you!" He kissed my forehead and off we went.

The carriage ride was bumpy and quiet.

The man with blue hair was outside watching, the lady with blue hair said she'll take care of me.

I pretended to sleep for most of the ride but, couldn't stand the silence any longer.

"Did my parents die?"

I had to hear it. I needed it to be confirmed.

She pursued her lips, "I'm sure they're watching you from afar,"

"I'm six not stupid. They died, didn't they? I just want a confirmation,"

She smiled, "I knew your mom, she was bold much like you right now.

Though I shouldn't put it this way- well to be honest it's difficult to say it...

Yes, I'm sorry. Your parents died,"

I nodded, I felt sad. But no tears fell.

"Thank you, I needed to know."

"You're welcome, dear," she smiled at me.

We rode in the carriage with a comfortable silence.

I don't care where we are going, because I know my parents are watching.
