Living on HOPE

5 Back to "mother"

Hope awoke to the smell of green tea. She looked up and saw the nice lady in her nightgown making tea. She woke Hazel, Hazel rolled over on her back. That's when Hazel noticed they had been put in what looked like a guest bedroom! Hazel walked into the kitchen, the lady saw her and handed her a cup of green tea. "Is your sister up yet? If she is I can set up a small table in there. By the way I hope you did not mind me putting you in the guest room..." Hazel nodded,"She's awake." . "We did not mind...at all." Hazel said. "Here,you hold this end of the table up, and we'll carry to the guest room." Hazel picked up her end and they carried it to the guest room. Hope sat up when they came in. She wondered what Hazel had told the kind lady. "You never told us your name...could you tell us?" Hope wondered. "Annabeth,my friends call me Anna." The lady replied."well, I'm Hope, and this is Hazel. We have to get back to our mother now, she's probaly worried sick!" said Hope. "You're right, we should get you home, need a lift?" Asked Annabeth. Hazel looked at Hope. "No.......thanks but no were fine." "It wont be any trouble I insist!" "Well...we only know the way back on the walking paths in the woods." "In that case I will walk you back to your mother. We can take a map just in case." Hope was alarmed and was now almost halfway out the door. "That will not be necessary..........Ms. Annabeth-" with that she rushed Hazel out the door, and she followed. She told Hazel to get in the wagon
Hope lugged the wagon behind her.
With that they set off toward no where particular. They strode off in to the woods and decided to take a break for some cheese and bread. The bread was stale especially because it had been in the wagon. Hazel scooted closer to hope and gave oher an unexpected hug. Hope hesitated and hugged her back, why couldnt her parents love her as much as Hazel did? Hope suddenly jerked up and motioned Hazel into the wagon. "Hazel?"said Hope. "Yes Hope...."replied Hazel."Could you sing to keep the spirits up?" Said Hope cheerfully. Hazel cleared her throat, and One day I shall fear nothing, one day I will be known across the world....one day you shall be my lover, today tommarow, forevermore.....
