Tiggy and I

"Where did everybody go?"

ROSIE
I've spent my day lying on my bed staring at the ceiling, no matter how many advantages my parents had, none of them could save them from dying. My parents were shot. It doesn't seem real and now I am left in huge house on my own and with no one to hear me scream. I could be in flipping space right now and no one would care! And all because someone didn't like the way the country was run, they decided to rip my life apart. I hope that guy kills himself, I really do. There is a knock at the door. I know it's the new Senator, before I come of age and he's a bum. And he's been trying to get me out of the house so his Senatorial family can move in and kick me out. But he forgets that I will be Senator in two years so actually he's probably trying to get the time in the house. "Go away."
"But Rosie, darling, we need your decision by Monday when they put me in power"
"Then stop bugging me and wait till Monday!"
"But Rosie...darli-"
I slam the door open and shout in his weasely face.
"I need time to grieve! I need time to deal with the fact that my parents have been brutally murdered! You are just a stand in for 2 years while I get ready to be Senator! I need to deal with the fact I'm going to be running a country! Move in on Monday or next week or next year! I don't care! But it's not your job to come in here acting like my dad, all darling this, and darling that and expect me to be cooperative because I hate you and the guy that killed my parents, and all the staff and pretty much everyone in Andalucia, actually scrap that, the whole world!"
He nods, shocked and turns around. As he walks away he says "I need your decision to where you are going to stay on Monday,"
I slam the door closed and sigh and throw myself back onto my bed, I never cry though, it is not becoming of a woman, that's what my mum used to say and she always used to say "My fairest Rose, you are defiantly the sweetest at this ball may I have this dance?" And we would create a stir at all the balls by skipping around the ballroom and grinning wildly. She was my only friend and now I have no one but my hollow status as a companion. I don't have any relatives whose house I could stay at....I shot up! The queen! She is my Godmother and she said I was always welcome at Court! I think everyone has forgotten the scandal that my dad was caught in, when I was 6. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started to craft a letter of desperation to the woman who had been my second mother, all through the first years of my childhood.
