rosabelle's secret
6.00am Rosabelle leaves an envelope under Ye’s door and discreetly gets out of the house. Her heart was beating fast one of her nightmare Shadowman was gone. He couldn’t touch her nor hurt her anymore. She felt like crying and screaming with joy and pain as she remembered every cruel things he did to her. But she promised herself not to break. Not now. Once her brother in Jail for a lifetime, she will break and cry as much as she wants. Clenching her fists. She walked towards a motorbike parked just for her in front of the Chien Li’s mansion.
Putting her helmet on she revved her engines and rode towards the family estate. She drove past it and noticed some cameras. She dropped the bike further and decided to enter by the back garden. She was hoping that it was still there and He didn’t find it.
One day when Rosabelle was hiding from him, her so called brother she found a secret way out through the old wine cave. She was scared because she was running barefoot trying not to make any noise and she walked in the entire darkness for what she thought was an eternity. Then she found it. Her golden ticket a small wooden door. Her fingers fumbled to find a lock it was a round handle she twisted it it creaked a little. She jolted and turned around in the darkness to hear from far away her brother’s panicked cries calling after her.
She had no second thought and she slide her body between the tiny space of the door and it’s frame and closed it behind her it was less dark some natural light was shining she found herself on her hands and knees crawling like it seems a very old vaulted cellar. She was hearing the birds singing, the trees leaves dancing with the wind. She knew she was outside! Outside the property maybe she had to see for herself! A willow tree has grown where a part of the wall too damaged to stand collapsed and his branches fallen like a curtain were replacing the long gone door. She carefully pushed herself out. She was blinded by the sun at first then when her sight adjusted she could see she was in the forest. The sun warmed her entire body shivering with cold and fear. She walked around the old cellar it was in the middle of nowhere. It was covered in soil, moss and trees were surrounding it. She heard her mother’s voice so far away she thought she was dreaming. She didn’t call back too amazed of her discovery. She crawled on the floor. She had to see if she was out the property or in. She crawled for 10 minutes until she had her answer she stopped a couple of meters away from a 3meters high stoned wall. She recognised it straightaway it was their huge garden wall the one she got cornered by Shadowman many times.
Then she heard some footsteps. She put her back on the wall thinking the noise was coming from the forest behind her. She put her hands on her mouth stopping her gasping. She looked around her like a tracking beast all she could her was some steps fencing the grass. Her legs started shaking and she sat down her head between her knees bracing herself and praying not to be discovered.
