Goodbye and Hello

Wisteria's P.O.V.

I suddenly ran towards the bed. There I saw Mother,she was very pale, more paler that the last time I saw her. I held her hand and it was cold.

"Miss Wisty, can you stay with her for a while? I will go get some help" Emma asked, I don't want to be alone with mother being like this. But we need someone to help her.

"okay, but please be quick" I said as tears stream down. Emma not getting anything just ran outside fast. I looked at my mother she was in pain, I can see in her face.

"Mother, are you okay?" I asked her. Then she opened her eyes and smiled as tears fell down.

"Yes, Mother is okay," she said and gave me a warm yet weak smile. No I don't believe her! She is in pain! My grip tightened.

" Wisteria, darling...when you leave this house, never tell anyone about your surname 'De la Cerda' okay?Wait until they come here and look for you... And here..." She took her necklace and gave it to me. Her eyes turned gold, it was fascinating. But who are those she called 'They'.

"Wear this to hide your eyes, never take it off nor let anyone know unless you meet someone with gold eyes like yours. Okay?" She said with a faint voice.

"Okay mother" I said, but tears were still coming out of my eyes.

"Then promise me...that you will live happily and freely. Live a long life my dear Wisteria. And under the bed, there is a brown box. It's for you...but you can open it until you turn 18." She said still weakly.

"Yes mother I promise to live a long happy life...please don't leave me" I begged her. What is taking Emma so longggg.

"One more thing my dear, give me your hands" she Instruced and I did. I gave her my warm hands into her cold ones. She gripped it tightly and said some weird words.

Then a lot of shiny gold light and dust suddenly came out of my mother's body and went into mine, I wonder what this is.

A few minutes it was gone and my mother leaned to me and kissed my forehead. She looked me in the eye and said...

"I love you my dear Wisteria, mommy loves you so much...goodbye my dear" she said and closed her eyes... suddenly her grip loosened.

"Mother!!! Nnooo! Don't leave Wisty and Emma! I promise to be very good and obedient! Pleassseeeeee..." I cried out knowing that she was leaving me.

"Haaaaa..." She took one final breath and...

"Moooottttthhheeeerrr!!!wake up! Wake up pleaseee. We still have to get out of here remember? Pleasee" I cried out again, hugging her tightly.

*Booogggsssshhh*

The door banged and saw Emma sweating and panting while a person carrying a box went in and checked my mother's wrist.

"EMMA! Mother...she....she.." I said shaking and Emma with tears went near me and hugged me tight as we watched the person checking my mother....But he suddenly looked at us with a sullen face.

"I'm sorry to say this but...This woman already passed" the person said bad went to the side. Suddenly two men went inside with a white cloth. They carried mother and took her out. Where are they taking her.

"Where are you taking my mother?!!!" I said angrily.

"They are taking her to the cemetery" the person said.

" Will we not have a funeral for Miss?!!!" Emma said pissed off.

"No...per order of the Duke, she is to be burried immediately in the slave's cemetery." The person said and followed

"NO! YOU CANT DO THAT!"Emma yelled and tried to take Mother's body but there were other two men and held her.

"Sorry there is nothing we can do, The Duke ordered it." The person said and continued their way.

"Good bye mother..." I whispered and silently cried.

"Miss Wisty, wake up." Emma gently wake me up. I never remembered when I fell a sleep. Then I saw another person near the door.

"Emma who is she?" I asked looking at the Lady.

"She's the Head Maid at the Dukes Mansion. We are going to go there, let us pack our stuff." Emma said.

"Why?" I asked

"We can finally get out in this place Miss..." She said with a little hint of happiness.

"And you will finally get to see your father." She whispered

Shocked. My father? Who I never got to see for 5 years? I was overjoyed and quickly packed my stuff. Until I remember mother telling me about the box. I quickly went under the bed. There I saw a brown wooden box it was big for my little hands. So I asked Emma to bring it. I picked up my favorite doll mother made and ties the handkerchief I never got to return to Luca.

"What's taking so long? Hurry up!" The Head Maid said irritated. She's mean.

"We are done" Emma said carrying a big luggage, it's heavy but Emma seems to not be bothered.

"Follow me" the head Maid said and walked so we followed her. But I turned around and said goodbye to our smamm but lovely home.

A few minutes later...we arrived at the back of a big gorgeous home. It was humongous and beautiful. I was too amazed that I bumped into Emma. The Head then lead us inside and into a beautiful room. It was beautiful. It has a soft comfy bed, a lamp ,some drawers and a chair. It was like the same as size as our house. Emma quickly unpacked.e

"The Duke want to see you, Miss Wisteria" the lady said. I looked at Emma and she noddedd so I followed the lady. We walkes into the most beautiful hallways decorated with extravagant stuff. Until we arrived at the big door. And it suddenly open, so I went in and saw a man, his back was facing me.

"Miss, Wisteria is here Duke" a lady said, he turned...He has same color hair as mine.

I looked curiously at him as he seems to be observing me.

"So this is the slut's daughter...she's pretty decent." He said and I wonder what that slut means...I stared as his eyes seriously not letting him know I was nervous.

" I am Duke Wilson Duston, the Master of this home...and your...father." he said feeling disgust by the last word he said. He's my father? But why ? He doesn't seem like he wanted me.

"Can your read? Write?" He asked me.

"Yes" I said.

"Then you better be of use to me, if you don't off to the slave's house you go" he said and went near me.

"You even got her brown eyes, but you seem to have my stern face" he said as he held my chin.

"Tell me your name." He said

"Wisteria Annabelle Sir" I said sternly not be intimidated by his gaze.

"Surname?" He asked.

"I don't know sir." I said as respectfully as mother taught me.

"Why until know, we could not know of that bitch's surname..." He said.

"Your excellency,I suggest to not say those words in from of her, it might be a bad influence" the person with blonde hair in the corner said.

"Whatever she is just a bastard. That I will have use of." He said

"How old are you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. So I raised my hand showing 5.

"Hmmmm...Maids change her clothes, she looks disgusting in her clothing right now" he said and walked outside. But before he left he said..

"Meet me tommorow 7pm" he said and finally left. The maids took me to my room and bathe me and dressed me, it was a beautiful dress, like what I see on my mother's drawings. It was color blue and had a lot of texture to it.

"My my Miss Wisty you look so beautiful in that dress" Emma said then I saw her she changed clothes, it was just like the other maids.

"From now on, I am your personal maid!" She said cheerfully.

"Yipeee! But what's that?" I asked.
