Chapter 6: Leaving
Anita came running out after she have arranged hers and her master's things which will be needed for their travel. It was a cold night but thankfully its not that dark because the big, round and bright moon that came up in the night sky. it gave them a bit of light so that they can see the surroundings even not bringing a torch.
Anita runs into the forest instead to the front of the mansion where the carriage is waiting for them to be taken to the mountain of thorns. why? because in the forest is where her master spends the whole afternoon until darkness came, just there sitting on the dusty and dirty ground, without a care in the world, reminiscing and looking at the space in her side where it has been obviously where they buried her beloved mother, rose made a wooden cross to attached on the ground and as a sign where her mother lies.
Anita had never saw her master wept or cry, not even once unlike before wherein she weep always. there has been a big change but in a good way. she walked quietly near her master and she hanged to her shoulder the white coat she was holding and brought over for her master.
"Master, It's time, the carriage is waiting" Anita said and she saw rose just nodded as a reply.
her master, her poor master.
Anita felt useless and helpless because she cannot give any aid to her master. she feels like crying now looking at her. if she doesn't want to cry, she can cry for her. if she doesn't want to be sad, she can be sad in behalf of her.
Rose stood from where she is sitting and had a one last look at the grave where her mother lies. she walked near the cross she made for her dear mother. she leaned into it and kissed the top of the cross.
"Mother, I had to bid my goodbye, I have to go and lead my own path now. I'll be strong and stand on my own, rest assured that I will be fine and I'll make everyone who wronged us punished."
"I'm sorry that you have to go this way but I'll be with you when my time ends and I'll make it all up to you."
then rose turn her back on the grave and slowly walked away while Anita is following behind her.
Anita can sense the deep loneliness of her master and she decided to keep quite and silently walking behind her.
They arrived at the front of the mansion and not far, they can see the carriage waiting for them but Anita was surprised when her master stops.
"Anita" Rose called her
"Yes my master?" she answered back.
"Remember this night before we leave, no one cares, no one is here to send us away, we have nothing but - - " Anita looked up to her master who was looking up now in the huge mansion and there is a slight smile in her face
"but we are free." Her master said and that made anita put a smile on her face also.
"Yes Master."

"Good evening Miss, My name is Bayne and I will be the coach that will take you to your destination" he said formally and bowed at rose
Rose looked at him and saw how he lifts his head to look at her, but as soon as the coachman looked at her. he felt cold. so cold by her stares, then she suddenly smiles masking the expression she had just moments ago.
"Thank you for your service then, Mr. Bayne" Rose said and then Anita opened the carriage door for her master while the coachman was left dumbfounded.
Did he just got goosebumps?
Was that girl only seven years old?
how can she make that scary expression?
No - - no it must be his imagination he said silently in his mind.
"Mr. Bayne, I trust you will take us safely" Anita said out of the blue
Mr. Bayne looked at her youthful face. she very charming but she has a mystery air on her. Mr. Bayne nodded at her.
"Of course" he answered and then Anita went inside the carriage after her master.

Unknown to them, a group of people was watching them from the third floor of the mansion.
"Mother, they left but can that girl see us from here? It feels like she was looking at us, in our direction" Pamela said worrying
"Dear that is impossible, you are imagining things" her mother assured her.
"Mother, how I detest that girl" She replied
Her mother looked at Pamela's direction standing right in front of the window, she then put her cup down in the centre table in front of her and said
"What more do you need my daughter, she was already chased out at our mansion" she said
"Right. the nuisance is already chased out so shut your annoying mouth" out of the blue the eldest daughter said to her with her sharp tongue.
Pamela was suddenly dumbfounded when she was told off by her elder sister. her elder sister is the most evil woman she knows, more craftier than her mother, more mean and badder, everyone knows her elder sister as like a person that is very gentle and like a person who cannot break a glass, very softhearted but only if they knew.
this sister of her's is the more evil than her.
"But Mother, can't we erase her for good?" her elder sister asked that shocked her. what does she mean by that? Pamela asked in her mind but the truth, she knows what it means, just cannot believe it's coming out from the beautiful mouth of this sister of her's.
"Daughter, not for now, she might have a usage in the future, let her suffer first and grow up uneducated and so we can control her" their mother said
Pamela smirked
the saying is really true.
Like Mother Like daughter.
