The bell rolled in the distance as Rosina awoke from her hard slumber. The door keys rattled as was shaken awake by a couple of guards.
"What the hell is going on?" They grabbed Rosina by her shoulders
"Get your hands off me!" She pushed and shoved to get the officers away from her
"Get your fucking hands off me!" She kneeled one of the guards in the shin. She went to run but was stopped when a couple of guards stopped her.
"I'm a fucking Shelby, get your filthy hands off me" her dark hair bleached by the lights of brown thawing out. Her clothes were a buttoned-up shirt wrapped around a wrinkled vest with a long matted skirt.
They dragged her out. She showed no sign of scared or fear. Just angered that she had been fooled once again. She started to laugh at the thought making her kick the guard causing him to stumble
"Go on! I'm Rosina Shelby!" She chortled
maniacally. The prisoners are to be scarred by that name. A priest followed her with his bible and cross in his hand.
"Alright Father, is it Sunday?" Rosina smirked as she was manhandled by the guards
——————————-
They pulled her into a cell. Rosina saw the rope in her dreams. She swore to herself and cried for the baby inside her
"Rose? Rose?" Suddenly the eldest of the Shelby men screamed
"Arthur!" Rose scrambled to be freed from the guard's tight-fisted hold
"It will be alright, Tommy will get us out"
"Rosina!, Arthur!" John called reaching for Rose and his brother
"What's fucking happening?" The guards yanked her away with a firm grip still standing
"Don't worry" John shouted
"Michael" Rose called
"Rose" Michael cried as he realised his fate
"Where's Tommy?" John panicked for his life was about to be snatched away.
"Michael, John" Rosina felt pulled into the room again
"No!, No!"
"Have mercy on us!" Michael yelled
"She's fucking pregnant!"
——————-
They were all pulled into the same room.
Michaels's hands brushed on top of Rosina's but she yanked it away as she stared at the ropes hanging.
Rosina cried for once. They wrapped the rope around her neck.
"I'm Sorry" Rosina whispered to her unborn baby and caressed her little bump.
All four of them looked towards each other knowing this was it for them as the rope was tightened around their necks
"In the bleak midwinter" the boys whispered apart from Michael and rose as they looked towards the priests praying for their souls.
They all closed their eyes waiting for it to happen
The vicar's hands touched the lever ready to pull
When suddenly
"Wait!" A voice called they both looked up to see a guard holding up a piece of paper
All of them looked up together as the rope was taken off their necks.
John ran to Arthur and Rosina and Michael ran to each other as they cried into each other's shoulders. She hugged her unborn baby and made a promise to her and the baby
