chapter 1 -⪻ CHILDHOOD⪼

➯It was late the winters night a cold one it was really cold I was trying to sleep but something was bothering me I was thinking about all these childrens who lost their parents in war they had became orphans I was thinking about their feelings and stuff how they feel .. Does this small orphans gives them enough? I asked myself I took deep breath then sigh I felt bad for them as it was my fault as I killed thier parents . My heart can not take this pain I want to give them a world.. But I can not I have my own stufs as well I need to prepare the funeral for my own little angels I stopped and started crying I stood up looked at sky and snow "sorry angel I hope thers not cold I hope that Jesus is giving u sweet warm hugs I miss you so much am so sorry for failing at protecting you"- my words were cut off when I heard loud knocking on orphanages door it was loud and scary as I came and opened the door I saw a girl she was cold as ice she was knocked out her hair was dark brown and at the bottom of her head her hair was bright red I couldn't believe my eyes this girl looked as she was kissed by some sort of dark magic ..... I took her in my arm and pull her in, I put her close to fire and cover her with blanket... as I came closer I saw a beautiful golden necklace with emerald crystal on it I took it and turn it.. on the back was written Madeline... I knew it was her name but something was off so I put that necklace in my pocket and put the child on the bed and waited till morning to call a doctor and see where she's from.

The morning came the girl was already up she was sitting by windows on the floor she had beautiful black eyes they were so dark that u could see urself in them it was scary how she looked out of the window she didn't had any emotions she barley blinked when I entered in the room she returned to me and asked me with her sweet voice who I was, where she was .... I didn't know how to reply I sat next to her and asked for her name.. she started at me for one minutes and replied by shaking her head in no answer looking down and saying "I don't know" I looked at her and I called the doctor.. "Don't worry sweetie u will be alright and everything's fine ur safe here " I gave her to eat a breakfast while waiting for doctor to came...

When he came the doctor checked everything she was healthy but it seems as she has lost her memory.. when the doctor left the orphanagei saw the girl watching at the painting of roses and the way she looked at the was soo deep and it maked me want to cry I came by her side and asked them " do u like the painting? " she replied by saying "Roses are pretty they are red as the blood, and the vase is pale as the snow with, blue lines as the waves , it's beautiful but sad the painting looks like it have a message for us and I don't know I feel like I saw it somewhere before" I just started at every detail she said and I never noticed that how she did I return and looked at her face and said " Rosette your name it suits you plus you like roses right? " she replied "I like that name and I like roses as well" then I asked again " darling do u remember ur age or something more then just a roses painting? " she looked at me then back at the painting it took about 2 minutes before she talked " am 6 years old and I live where ocean is " I couldn't understand much of what she was telling me about the ocean but ig she was living near by.... I didn't wanted to ask more .

3 years passed the royals guards came to orphan and asked for a smart kid that can read, write, that is polite and beautiful.

they maked a test so evry kid can do it and see who would they take with them I was so scared that they would take Rosette with them, I tried to hide her by sending her to buy some stuffs as snacks but she came at the end of the test and I was scared since I told the guards that these 7 children were only in this orphans guards were nice and they let go of it by saying tomorrow morning when sun rises we want this kid to be prepared with her stuff she will be leaving for England by 12h 00 . After saying that they just left Rosette came and asked me " Auntie why the Royals guards were here and I don't wanna go with them I want to stay here"

I replied "am sorry my dear but you have to you will be okay " night came so fast and I was looking at the necklace I found on Rosette when she came I couldn't keep this with me .. If guards would find this at mine place they would asked how I have this plus not everyone can have this jewelry that has crystal on them and made of gold.... I called Rosette in my room and explained her everything and by the end I gave her the necklace and asked her to keep it with her and take care of it and never let go.... " Why " was the only word coming from her mouth I didn't know what to reply so I put it around her neck and said " Take care of it don't let go of it please take care of this necklace and ur self ther must be reason why the necklace was on you when you came "

The morning came before sunrise I packed her stuff and we waited for the guards.. When they came I give The biggest hug to Rosette and asked her to take care of herself and like that I pushed her away and close the door as they left I couldn't stand anymore at my feets my heart was heavier then ever I started crying and couldn't stop she reminds me of my death child so much that I couldn't let her go but I needed. "I failed again"
