Josephine's pov

The house was bigggggg with bright big lights. It's so much more prettier than any other house I've ever seen. Me and Jack then jumped out of the car and skipped up to the house holding hands. We then ran up the stairs and down all the corridors on that level.

"Let's unload  Roses body from the trunk while the twins are occupied", Lovejoy then helped me lift her carry her into the house.

"Rose?!", Ruth stood up from her chair. We then heard the twins footsteps. We then opened the closet door that lead down to the secret basement. There we dumped her on a mattress and left her.

"Jack! Josephine!", I called out to them both. Their footsteps then got louder and louder. They then came flying into the room, "wow! You two are quite fast aren't ya", I lit a smoke.

"Wow cool", Jack Jr got distracted by what was in the glass case on display.

"Jack look at this. It looks funny", Josephine giggled. Ruth just glared at me.

"Ahmmmm children", I addressed them. They then turned around, "I would like you to meet somebody very special. This is your grandmother Ruth", I held her hand as she sat smiling.

"How do you do?", she politely greeted them. But they were in a different world full of shock.

"I thought all our grandparents were dead", Jack said sadly. We both laughed at him.

"And who told you such things dear?", Ruth asked.

"Mummy", Josephine responded. I then took a puff of my cigarette.

"Daddy's family are all dead. Mummy said that her... Her dad.. Daddy died. When.. When was she 16 years old", Josephine stuttered, "mummy said that her mummy died afterward", Ruth then looked at me. She then got up slowly and walked over to them trying not to scare them away. She then got in her knees to her level.

"Oh I'm alive! So your mummy must've been lying to you", she put a strand of hair behind Josephine's ear. She then started to cry, "oh I know sweetheart", Ruth stroked her porcelain that she gave to her, "lies can hurt the most. Almost as much as the truth. You're a strong beautiful little girl Josephine", she gripped her chin so she could look at her. She then got up and sat on the couch again.

"Can we play Cops and Robbers?", Josephine asked.

"Ah no", I responded.

"What about Hide en Go Seek?", Jack asked, "then we don't run around as much and we just stay still"

"Mmmm alright. You two can go hide and I'll seek you. Ruth you want to play with us?", she then shook her head," right go and hide I'm counting 1 2 3 4 5...", they then ran out of the room while I sat on the couch counting and smoking.

"Joe we have to split up", Jack told me.

"But Jacky!"

"Go. This is a big house Josie they won't find us", he then ran away. I then kept running along the long corridor and took a right. I then kept running till I found a small door halfway down the hall. I then went inside. It was a closet full of boxes and clothes. I then sat down on the floor and curled my legs up. I then started to look up and around. At the back I saw a gold door knobs amongst the rack of clothes. I then turned to open it. It was a door. I then walked inside and down the steps. It was basement. There I saw mummy laying down on the mattress that wasn't made.

"Mummy?" I started to shake her to wake up, "mummy it's Josie. Mum..my", she then started to wake up

"Joe.. Josie? What.. what are you doing down here? You shouldn't be here!", she started to stroke my face.
