Abaylon ~ The Romance Of Rose

The Truth

Rose and Michael trap-eased through the palace in search of their older brothers and Alex.

When they found them they were still in the war room with the others talking. Were about to enter when they heard them speaking in serious tones.

Alex had the old men repeat the story just so he had it clearly in his head. Every one in the room was silent as the tale was told again. Rose and Michael listened quietly at the door unnoticed.

Rose and Michael looked at each other with matching horrified looks. Rose had wanted to believe that the dream she had that night as well as all the memories from another life were just a sad dream. But listening to the story being told by her family made things crystal clear to her.

Picking up a crying Michael into her arms they were finally noticed. When Alex looked at the door he saw Rose and Michael. And by the looks on their faces. Michaels tear stained one and Roses mysteriously blank. He knew they had heard.

Everyone else notice his gaze and looked to the door as well. Shocked by seeing the two they came to the same conclusion he had. Rose now knew. And by her face she remembered as well.

Rose turned with the sobbing boy in her arms and left. Hearing people call her name to stop she ignored and kept going. Feeling her eldest brothers hand on her shoulder she stopped walking.

"Brother it would do you certainly well to let me go and to not speak. As well as next time you all decide to get in a group to talk about a horrid tale of my past.

You should do two things.

1. Make sure im there and NOT go behind my back.

2.If you want to have secret bloody meetings. Make damn sure you close the bloody door so little boys dont hear someone is trying to do in their elder sister. " she said before resuming her pace.

Watching her walk away the king spoke to his son. " Do you think shes mad?..."

"Mad? Ha! Shes bloody pissed and has a right to be father !"

"We are total idiots!" Alex said coming to a stop next to his cousin and uncle to watch Rose walk away with her little brother crying in her arms.
