I stand silently behind a tall, strong tree. I hear my mother talking to my brother, James. I peek my head out but they do not see me. I hear mumbling, suddenly mother raises her voice
" I DO NOT WANT ROSEMARY TO FIND OUT... THAT WE'RE NOT HER FAMILY, THAT HER MOTHER IS SOME WHERE OUT THERE! END OF DISCUSSION JAMES!"
I could feel myself let out a tear. I could not believe that mother would hide that from me. Well actually, she is not my mother. Why would she keep this from me, I wanted to know the truth about my mom, my life, and me!
" Fine mother, I just think she deserves to learn the truth!" Said James
" The truth, is pain, wonder, curiosity and DANGER! Rosemary does not need those things in our happy life!" Said the woman that kept this secret from me
" ENOUGH! It's my life!" I burst out and yell
"Rose-" Mother began
" Don't even talk to me!" I said and sobbed
" Rose, I am so very sorry!" She said to me
" You should of told me!" I cried my words
" I'm so sorry Rose!" James looked straight into my blue eyes
" It's not your fault, you wanted to tell me.. Thankyou!" I smiled
" Yeah, you did deserve to know!" James smiled and hugged me
" Yeah.." I hugged him tightly and then I let go and walked away
As I walked, I thought about what my mother was like and then I turned back " I'll go get water from the well, it will heal father!" I said and ran to the well with my bucket in my hand and smiled. I know the truth and I will search for my mother as soon as I get the water for my 'father'. I leaned in to let down my bucket when I felt a hand grab my arm.
" I'm doing you a favor, just remember.. you might see me in lots of places!" The voice said and laughed
" What do you mean?" I asked as he pushed me into the well. I screamed. He jumped in with me. My head banged the stone wall of the wet well. Everything went black......
