Twins of Unova

*Chapter 4: Plan

I played a soothing melody from my Kalimba for mother to listen to while she's soaking her feet in some warm water and had a facial mask with cucumbers on her eyes.

It's been about a week since I came back home, and it's been a blast. Spending time with my mother was the best time I've had in a long time, but I had to go on and do what I have to do. I can't just sit here and wait.

She hasn't even told me about Rosa, still thinking I'm convinced that she's on tour. I'm not convinced at the slightest, and most likely she's just protecting me, but I can't have this go on any longer.

My plan is to leave later today in the afternoon. I already informed Looker on my plan and I wasn't going to let him stop me. If I didn't inform him of my plans, I wouldn't be able to be as free as I am right now. It's frustrating, but I just have to do what I had to do.

"You play so beautifully" mother took off the cucumbers to look at me smiling at her "what are you trying to do? Make me fall asleep?" I chuckled.

"I just wanted to calm your nerves a bit" she looked confused

"My nerves?" I closed my eyes, continuing to play "What do you mean? It's been years since I've been this calm. What nerves are you talking about-" her voice sounded troubled, like she was trying to convince me nothing was wrong.

"Mother, I would had hoped you'd tell me what happened to Rosa" she bit her lips and looked away "I first heard about it in the city, so I don't blame you for not telling me first, not that you could" I slowly stopped playing "But why did you feel the need to lie to me?"

"I..." she sat up to hold my knee "I didn't think you'd change this much... I wouldn't have thought you'd listen to anyone when they tell you something, since you never did. I didn't think you know from someone else" I nodded "I just didn't want you to worry about her. I know the police is on the case"

"Looker told me you always call to see if there are updates. Why would I not worried if you're broken" I squeezed my instrument "I left so suddenly... You lost your daughter, and then it happened to Rosa. I can't imagine how you would be feeling" I held my heart "I'm trying my best to make you feel better, but even I don't know how to cope myself about losing someone. All I know is that I missed you two terribly" I felt myself shaking, continuing to speak

"Father... left, sure... and it was difficult to accept that. I didn't know how to handle myself when I knew I could had done something different. I know what happened wasn't my fault. I just miss him. I know it doesn't make sense" I stood up to look out my window, where my Pokémon was watching me from a tree "I feel like people who lost their way are still present, no matter what. I don't believe they're gone, but you can't interact with them anymore. I can still interact with Rosa" I looked at my mother frowning at me

"I don't care if I'm not allowed to go anywhere on my own... I decided I want to look for Rosa" mother wiped her face and feet clean before coming my way to hold my shoulder. I looked away so I wouldn't have to look at how sad she looked.

"Camilla, you don't know the region. The reason why Rosa went missing was because she was on break from acting" I looked back at her confused "She traveled Unova, wanting to see what Hilda experienced, but then she disappeared. Nobody knew where she went"

"She went out to explore?" I smiled "Well, when you work in show business where they pretty much keep you locked up, I'm not surprise she wanted an escape. I felt the same way" I held mothers hands "I've been away for a long time... instead of being locked inside my entire life, I want to explore along the way. I know you've seen me as this defenseless little girl who screamed and cried when she met new people, but I'm way pass that. I'm going to leave" she sighed and moved my hair from my face.
