My silent mother Volume 1

Chapter One Hundred & Fifty Seven Granny Salem Meets Raven

June 5th

(Salem Ozma) After the girls went to bed I sat in my study contemplating on what to do next, I really want to tell the rest of the family my side of the story.

I know that they probably won't believe me but I have to try if not for my own sake then for the girl's sake, I looked at a picture that was sitting on my desk.

The picture was one of the few happy pictures that was taken off Ozma, the girls and I prior to everything going wrong, I was genuinely smiling in the picture.

I ran my fingers across the frame and I could feel a smile beginning to form on my face as well as a few stray tears that were cascading down my face, as I looked at the picture I let out a long sigh and I then turned my head so I facing away from the picture.

As I sat in silence with my thoughts I heard a knock on the door, I quickly dried my eyes and I then called out come in, then the door opened and In walked Cynthia.

I said with a neutral expression on my face Ah Cynthia dear please take a seat and so Cynthia quickly walked over to an empty seat in front of my desk, I could see that Cynthia was violently trembling again.

Cinder then said with a shaky voice what is your command my lady? I couldn't help but feel for Cynthia but I had to maintain the illusion that I didn't care, which was contradictory to how I truly feel.

I took a deep breath and then I said Cynthia I know that you're the rat that we have been looking for and dare I say that I'm not impressed, Cynthia asked with a nervous voice What are you going to do to me? I said I'm not going to hurt you I promise, Though I am saddened that you didn't just tell me everything when you came back.

Cynthia then said I'm so very sorry mistress I honestly thought that you were still an evil and twisted person, I then said with a chuckle well I guess that I didn't really help you with any impression that I had turned over a new leaf.

I then stood up from my chair and I then walked over to the window and I then proceeded to look out of it, The sky was starting to turn black which indicated that it was quickly approaching night time.

I hate living on this dark and depressing continent but this continent has been my home for so long that I can't bare to leave it now, As I looked out the window I could feel my eyes starting to droop and I then turned away from the window and I then dismissed Cynthia.

After Cynthia had left for bed I put the papers that I had been working on into my desk drawer and then I locked it before I headed to my room, once I had reached my room I then got ready for bed.

Once I had finished getting ready for bed I then climbed under my covers and I then went to sleep and I slept the whole night without waking up.
