I yawn and stretch across the bedsheets as rain violently pours down as usual. I rub at my puffy eyes and look at El's clock. I usually would prop myself up and hop out of bed. El tilts his head at me, "Do you hear yourself?" Mama's voice trembles, "Fine. We'll go out tomorrow. Just shut your dirty mouth and go to sleep." I get off the bed and force myself to the door. Markus sleeps on the recliner, as does El. Mama walks up in a raincoat with a mean look on her face. "You still want to go out?" I nod and she throws a coat to me, "Well, anywhere special you want to go?" I scratch my head, she drops her face at me, "You don't even know where you want to go." "I do." She throws her hand up, "Then where?" I roll my eyes, "A park." She shrugs and starts walking down the stairs slowly, "Hurry and zip up, the rain's extra deep today." After suiting up, I head downstairs, that filthy woman sleeps on top of that large man. She shows too much skin, she's definitely some kind of wh-" Mama whispers, "Be disgusted some other time." I groan and put on a set of rubber boots that are a size too big.

Mama opens the side door and a torrential rain pours into the house. She yanks my hood up, "The rain hurts a little." I pull the hood out her grip, "I know." She takes a deep exhale, "Don't you be testing me today, girl." We close the door and she starts walking through the never-ending puddles. I stumble in the boots as water splashes against my waterproof clothes. "Come on!" Despite her being a fat old hag, she's light on her feet. I stumble and barely keep up with her, I shout over the rain smacking against everything, "Wait!"

I grab at my arm and stop as she gets too far from me. A crowd of people suddenly walks towards me. Someone grabs my hand and I scream. Everyone turns towards me as his belly covers my mouth, I scream for Norbert, anyone, but his hands wont- "Found you, grandbaby!" She hugs me and everyone quickly looks away. She comes close to my ear, "You are on every damn paper on this island, never scream like that again." I shake my head, "Let go of me," She takes a step back as I can't stop shaking. "R- are you okay, grandbaby?" I turn and run from her. "Child! Stop!"

I stomp through the puddles as men and women look at me. I trip and manage to stomp forward, water fills up the boot and I turn stiff to my sock soaking up the cold water. "Oh- my god." I quickly pull my boot out the large pothole, I put the boot behind me and it goes down the pantleg and I grab at my hair. I sit down, huff and puff as people pass me. Speakers cut on, "Rose! I'm here!" I look up, "Norbert?" "Rose! Meet me by the-"

I jerk myself towards Rose, then the speakers cut on, "Rose! I'm Here!" I scream and push myself harder, "No!"

I jump as a man grabs my arm, "Rose!" I scream and jerk away from his grip. I run, another man shouts, "Stop running! Now!" I scream, "Norbert!" Someone comes sweeps around the corner and I fall back onto the floor, an old man gets on top of me, I flail my arms at him and he cocks back his fist.

Soldiers drag her into the back of a car, I scream, "Don't you touch another hair on her head!" The old man who punched her walks towards me, "Oh, I won't." I shake my head, "Cornelius! Let her go! Now!" He turns around, "Take me instead!" He turns back to me as I drop to my knees, they crack in pain, but all I can do is sob, "She's just a child." He marches towards me, "She is a royal child. All the heirs to every country is dead. All but one. She has to go." I shake my head, "No. Please!" "Carter wants all of you dead. And he will get that." He puts out his hand, "But not today. He wants it public. I know your demon friends will come looking for you, for her." I scream and try to grab him, but he simply pulls away, "Between you and I, I am rooting for the terrorists to win." He turns and grabs his radio, "Get Hearth too. Handle with care." I try to run but my knees hurt too much. I flail as they grab me. My boy, Jack, now Rose? I'm a failure.
