Ten years later
It's getting late
Why they're taking so much time? Everything going smoothly. Today is celebration day. I know so much discussion happening inside. My eyes were on the wall. Every second is important for me. Outside heavy rain falling and winter night getting more colder. Darkness spreading everywhere. I need to catch my bus. My eyes are on the door and I don't care who's watching me here. My single eyes are full of hate on me. it's habit now. People likes Rose but not here. For them I'm shore who hurt every single person.
I don't care
I don't scared
The door opens and a girl came outside. She's holding a list. Finger cross I hope my name mention there. My heart beating fast.
"Okay everyone I'm going to announce names so whose name I mention please stand with me." Everyone nod. She starts announcing the names one by one and I hold my breath. Today or never. My all needs depend on this job. It's very hard for me to find a job in this town where people throw you out because you're the worst person born in this world.
She continuously going on and I'm numb watching every single person. Don't cry please. Everyone stands with her except me.
No
"Excuse me?" I call out when she's going to turn. Turing she gave me an angry look. Calm down lady.
"Yes."
"My interview goes very smoothly and they told me i's the best. Then why?" Hope broken again. My heart is broken again.
"Rose you know about yourself very well. Have mercy on us and go away. Just thank us we let you entered in our building and we don't know when you found your next target. You're news." News? Yes, I'm the news. This is not the first time someone insulted me. Every day people insulted me.
Badly
They think I'm the wrong one. But they never know what happened on that day. I'm the only victim but no one listens to me. It's my reality. My eyes running around and everyone was ready for a strike. Without making eye contact I grab my things and came outside.
Well, cold rain welcomed me in darkness. Heavy shower making my skin numb. I have a thin jacket around me. It's the only jacket I have left because of my things.... never mind. I covered some holes with stitches but still, I feel cold rain on my skin. My broken boots making weird noises after getting wet. My last bus went five minutes ago and it's last so I need to walk fifteen kilometres. It's a habit for me now.
But with an empty stomach, it's difficult for me to walk. Loud noise making a piece of perfect music in a silent environment. It's my life after my dad and mom left me alone. Dad was dead or killed and mom left me for another man. Everything changed after that night. The truth haunted me every day. The voices still humming in my ear loud but the most horrible thing happened after that and still, I'm suffering. My life was ten years ago and now I'm the person who was called by a witch.
Witch
People called me a witch because of the incident that happened in my life. I can't believe I'm still living in my life. Thank god they don't kill me. But my life is more than hell now. Empty, dark, and lost. The Rose is now covered by the shore.
Hope still alive
Walking kilometres I reached at my place. Coming home I'm faced to faced with dirty words again. This is a new town for me.
Still
I'm old
Slut, witch written on wall with black paint. Why they can't understand let the old words fade. My house is covered with lots of grass and trees. People throw trash here. Dirty walls with leaked plaster and broken window never sheltered me in winter or summer. But I covered them with some clothes. Just broken bed and only table where I set some cup and other things. Taking a deep breath I entered my house and the smell of puke hit me. A giggle came out with lots of tears. How funny I'm looking with the name I'm holding?
Rose without smell. Who's unable to stop the dirty smell that making her life horrible. Before I go for a change there is a knock on my door. I stop on the dead. No one knocked on my door. No one even thinks about it. Suddenly I feel panicked. What if they're coming for me? I have no knife or thing for protection. He find me.
No
"Wh...Who's this?"
"It's me, child." It's Father Anthony. I let out a deep breath and open the door but he's not alone mother Kerry with him. They both come inside. Father Anthony is the only person who knows me very well. He stands with me on my bad days when the whole town is ready for hanging me on the rope. He safe me. He's like my father but today mother Kerry....something is not good. My mind sending bad signals to my heart.
"How's your interview?" I lowered my face on father question and he knows how's it gone.
"Don't worry child one day people know who's wrong and who's right." I nod but today he's not the father I used to know. Mother Kerry stand silent during our conversation. Her bright face looking sad. Something going on here. Conversation with father Anthony lighting my mood for a second but my empty stomach pulling their attention towards me.
"When did you eat last time?"
"Umm.."
"Truth child."
"Tuesday." Both gasp. Oh god, help me. Today is Friday and I have nothing to eat. Tears falling from my eyes. God kill me, please.
"Wait here I'll send something to eat." Both stand and walk outside. When I'm going to close the I hear them talking.
"Father Anthony why don't you just tell her?"
"I can't, look at her she's so miserable and poor child. My heart never gave me permission for that. We can find a way."
"She's a problem for us now. Today people threatened us and what next father? We're going to lose our lives because of her."
"Don't be so selfish. What if she thinks we're doing wrong with her? She just has us. We can't.."
"What about Bella? What happened to her just because of Rose. She's a problem for us now. We need to get rid of her as soon as possible. What if they're all saying the truth about her."
Get rid
Problem
They also think I'm wrong
