It has been Fated

Chapter three: The Truth

Rosie's pov

 15 years later

 Evelyn, I don't know what to do. I've been married for three years and we have been trying for a child but nothing!

 It's alright Rosie, it's alright. I'm sure mother would have a remedy for this. I told my sister as I give her a hug.

 Thanks Lin, but I don't understand. I talk to other women and they have told me about a cycle that apparently every women should have, but I have no idea what she is talking about.

A cycle? Maybe we should take this up with mother, she did after all birth us. Mother had answers for everything.  

 Sasha's pov

 Rosie! Evelyn! What brings you back home? Come, come inside. Sit, sit, I'll put on some tea.

 Mother, I have bad news.

 What is it Rose? I set the water to a boil and make my way to the table and take rose's hand.

 Mother, John and I have tried for three years, and nothing. Mother I cannot conceive. I grip Rosie's Hand tighter. I wished this day would never come. I said under my breathe, and they both looked at me in question.

 Rosie, Evelyn, I have something to tell you. What is it mother? They said in unison. Can you explain why we cannot conceive? I look over to Evelyn in question.

 You and Hanson aren't able either? She looks to her hands and shakes her head no. I could see the pain in my daughter’s eyes.

 This is all my fault. I say just loud enough for my girls to look up.

 How is this your fault mother? They both look at me in question. Ok I guess you are both old enough now. And I can't keep the truth any longer.

 I get up and I pour them each a cup of my specialty that will allow them to relax and take the news better.

 Okay, about fifteen years ago, when you were eight years old, a dark Mage came here and cast a spell on you two. He was here to take your life, but with the help of the Spirit of nature she was able to reduce the effects, but the side effects caused the both of you to never bare children. I'm sorry I never told you before. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you until now.

With tear brimmed eyes they look at me and in unison they ask. Never?

I repeated, never. And I hung my head. I am so sorry I never told you sooner, I am so sorry I could never take away the full effect but I loved you so much I couldn’t bear to see you die, especially when you had your entire lives ahead of you.

I don’t know what John’s going to do with me now. The  last girl who had a dry womb was abandoned by her husband in search for a fruitful woman. Rose hung her head and started to cry.

Its alright Rose, we will figure something out. Evelyn was always ready to soothe her sister in every time of need.

~~~ later that night ~~~

Rosie’s POV

John doesn’t want me anymore, and I couldn’t blame him. Three years and no child, no wonder he listened to his mother and sent me away. I would go to mother, but I couldn’t face her. No not like this. Mother said it would all be alright. Then why do I have the erg to just die? Yes my heart has been shattered and my mother in-law, or ex mother in-law convinced john, my john that I was cursed. What kind of woman would do that only a monster would. I laughed to myself, yea she’s a monster alright. I didn’t even realize where I was until I focused on my surroundings, for the past half hour I had been wandering aimlessly and somehow made my way to the forbidden tree. I lean against it and I start to cry, I had been crying for a while and I heard someone behind the tree call out.

Who is there? The familiar yet unfamiliar voice said. Whoever it was sounded as though they had been crying too. I look around the trunk to see-

Evelyn’s POV

Hanson! Hanson! Hanson you can’t leave me out here! I cried and banged against my front door. Hanson let me in! Hanson I am sorry, I am so sorry. I didn’t know, okay I promise you I didn’t know I couldn’t carry your child until this morning. Okay?  I AM SORRY!!!!!

Evelyn, I heard as I saw the second story window being opened and saw my Hanson look out. Hanson please let me back in.

Evelyn, I cannot do that. You are no longer my wife. I cannot be with a fruitless woman. Good bye, and please don’t come back Evelyn. And he went back inside and shut the window.

I don’t know how long I stood there but I decided I couldn’t stay any longer. I was unwanted, I was useless. I couldn’t even do the one thing women were meant to do, bare children. I began to wonder aimlessly and managed to find myself again but this time I was at the forbidden tree. Oh forbidden tree I thought to myself, how your fruit looks delicious. I was tempted to take an apple, but remembered they were poisonous so I decided not to. But then again I was a useless piece of trash that can’t do anything right, so no one would miss me right?

I was about to reach for the tree when I heard sniffling coming from the other side of the tree. Who was there? I called out. I peeked around the trunk and found Rosie crying there.

Oh Rosie! John sent you away too? She nodded and I held her. Until a thought came to mind. Fifteen years ago we were meant to die, but lived only to suffer unneeded pain. Rosie we can end this suffering we can end this now.

What do you mean Evelyn? I get up and pick two big ripe red juicy looking apples and gave one to Rosie. Here take a bite and we will not suffer anymore.

But that’s suicide Evelyn! She said in horror. Would you rather live through the suffering of never bearing children?

She looked down, but then looked back into my eyes and took the apple. I held her hand as I whispered I love you Rose forever and for always. I love you too Evelyn forever and for always. And we both took a big bite chewed and swallowed.

Immediately I felt sick to my stomach, I looked over and I saw Rose clutching her core. And the pain on her face made my pain increase. I began to feel nauseas and dizzy and before everything went black I saw Rose on the ground with a gooey black fog that came out of her mouth and then it all went black.
