beyond the sea ~ book one in the Rosewood series.

chapter one: a new beginning

Richard stated at the dull grey smooth roof about 10 feet above him.

He sighed as he layed in his King size bed.   The fluffy comfortable bed almost seemed to such him slowly such his body into it.  

" this is all bullshit."
Richard sighed looking at the roof again.    He didn't want to leave Eldia. 

Eldia was where he was born and raised and after 15 years of living within its culture and military he was going to live in an  whole new continent.  

Richard Rosewood thought of what it's like to have multiply country's right next door.  He thought what it would be like to live in the land known as pangea. 

" oi! Richy you ready or what !?" 

The voice cried.  It was a kinda bossy tone and unpatient tone as well.   His older sister  and Richard where never really good together.  Richard hated that she was a year older then him, because she treated him like 5.  

Richard pulled himself off his fluffy brown cushions as he stood up.  He looked at himself in the mirror.  His sea blue eyes reflected the sunlight that shown threw his window.   Richards blond hair was messy and covering  most of his face.  A frown was shown on his face as he picked up his brown leather suit case full of the most valuable things he owned.

" what a pain,  all this because those two bastards died."  Richard opened his door and left his room never to return to the king size bed or his small calm world.

" took you long enough."  Mary said pouting. Her hands where on her hips .   She had golden eyes and brown hair that goes down to her shoulder.  She was skinny and tall, wearing a violet dress that looked like she was going to met the president of Eldia.   She was standing outside the grand door as Richard walked down the grand stairs holding both hands on his leather case full of his stuff.  The stairs where made of marble and a red carpet as if they where royal.  

Richard gave his older sister Mary a deadly glare as she was pouting . 

He hated her he wished it was her who died not their parents.
Their parents died about a year ago.  The Rosewood family business was slowly dieing after Richards father and mother where killed by a bagger.

Now it was just his siblings.

Mary,  Richard, Chris,  Emma , and Anna Rosewood.  

But Anna wasn't leaving Eldia. She is only one and May their maid cared for her like as if that was her child not the child of a billionaire who left his children to deal with his death.

Richard looked at the house as he walked down the stairs.  The house looked clean like a special guess was coming to their Manor.  The  house was made of marble a stone like mineral that  the Rosewood father loved more then anything.   The grand door must have been ten feet tall and wide. It was made of  smooth wood,   the red carpet stretched from the stairs to the door.  It was made of red silk thin and soft.   Richard stepped closer his dress shirt was sloppy but he didn't care,  he wanted to get this over with.

Right outside their Manor was a carriage.  With two black horses waiting to do their job.  The carriage was quite large.   With red cushion chairs in the back where Richard and his siblings would sit as a wide man pulled them away to the dock where a luxury cruise would take them to an new place to live.   

His younger brother and sister where already siting down with their suitcase next to them.  They where sitting on red cushion chairs that looked like the carpet in the Manor.  Crimson and bright.  The sun reflected the bronze of the carriage.  The Manor was in the middle of down town so the cobblestone stone street and houses where swarmed of people during this time.
