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......
