Beside You: Lord Tewkesbury

7

I grab a oil lamp and sneak out of my room I'm trying to be quiet because I don't want my family to wake up but the floor creaked once I took a step so I froze. When it was clear I began to walk again, when I got to my mother's room I put the lamp down on the table and started to search through the Chrysanthemums. I took them out and even poured out the water but nothing. I then got a flashback of when I was little mother and I were painting, mother painted Chrysanthemums "my Chrysanthemums" I whispered  it hit me "not the ones she bought, the ones she painted" I said softly.

I picked up the lamp and walked towards her paintings and found the one of the Chrysanthemums, I looked underneath and felt the back and it opened and there was two envelopes one had my name on it and the other had Enolas name. I opened mine and it had money inside "money, she must have left a message" I said I pulled the money out and looked back in the envelope and there was a price of paper with a flower painted on it. It had a saying  'our future is up to us' "our future is up to us, what future?" I asked myself then I remembered what mother said once.  "there are two paths you can take Nevaeh, yours or the path others choose for you".

"Our future is up to us" I repeat while smiling. I walk into Sherlocks old room and find a chest that says  S . Holmes, I open it and find his old clothes "mother was able to vanish from Ferndell, and so must I, in the clothes Sherlock himself grew up in"  I say while grabbing the pile of clothes and put his hat on my head smiling, I almost drop the pile.

I throw my bike on the grass "it's a necessary distraction, I was just beggining to master it" I say sadly "phase one of the plan complete, I'm coming to find you mother" I say confidently  "the game is afoot" I say while walking to the train station. I arrive at the station "I couldn't go to my local station, of course, so I chose a different line all together" I explain "with my brothers after me there's no telling where they'd search" I say with a bit of worry in my voice. I hear a police officer saying that he can't find someone. I start walking towards the train with the officer behind me "I want an assurance that is my son not--" the lady gets cut of by the officer "he's not on this train" he says "of course he's on the train! You simply havent looked properly" another man says "Sir, I've had my officers search this train top to bottom" the officer explains "darling perhaps we should just--"  the lady gets cut of by another man "quiet mother" "he had the carriage drop him here's this morning, he must be here somewhere" a lady explains with concern "well we're not even sure if the darling boy is on the train" another lady said, I don't know who they are I'm just hearing their conversation while getting on the train "this train must leave we are running extremely late, it leaves now" the officer says, then the whistle goes "don't let this train leave without someone on it" the lady yells but it's too late, it's leaving. I see a man in a brown bowler hat leaning out the window like i am nodding at one of the ladys
