"My life before here was quite sad I suppose. My parents were both murdered before my eyes on our walk through the village. They were merely two obstacles in the way of a criminal running from police. I was then sent to an orphanage for many years. I was left there alone, seeking the care of the nuns there. Oh, how I wish I could hug my parents one more time, tell them I love them." A small tear escaped Flora's eyes. She missed her parents very much.
"They'd have never let this happen to me. If they'd still be alive, I would have a home. See, when I was there, I wasn't really home. When they realized how different and disobedient I truly was, they sent me here. I doubt they even know what goes on in here. It wouldn't surprise me. I mean, it's been going on for quite some time unnoticed."
"What was your life like? Surly it must have been much greater than mine."

"Huh. Well, I surely hope they, being nuns, don't know what is going on here! Only because they are nuns, followers of The Lord. I think they would be condemned severely for their actions if they are in the know of what's going on," Rosemary said, completely disgusted by the thought that they would send her here knowing what truly happened. She was already questioning her faith; if the nuns did know what was going on, how could she continue to believe? To hope? "And I am so very sorry for your parents. I know what it's like to lose a loved one, but to have them taken right before your eyes..." She shook her head. The woman couldn't imagine what that must have been like, to be so helpless and weak when someone you love needed you most. Had Nathaniel been taken in front of her... "I'm sure that no matter what, your parents would be proud of you. I bet they loved you so much," she said sweetly, wiping away the girl's tear with a small smile.
Rose sighed. "My life...I was always more different than all the other children, you know? My moods..I can't remember what the doctors called it, but anyway, yes, I was different. I don't know. Developed faster than most, I suppose. A man took a liking to me at a young age, and we became...lovers, I guess. That's how I became so...active," she explained, chuckling a little. "With boys, I mean. Sometimes girls. I didn't have friends, but I had people I spoke with occasionally. And then my lover got me pregnant and at seventeen I had the most adorable little boy known to man. He was my world. He is my world. He's four now, Nathaniel." Rosemary smiled as she recalled her little boy, and her heart swelled at the thought of him. "Life was so much better with him around."

Flora's face turned to a slight smile. "My parents will always remain a huge part of my life, dead or alive. I love them so much, and I know that they are watching me right now, smiling at how much I have endured. I can just see them in a better place." She smiled as the woman quickly wiped her tear away.
"I'm sorry you've gotten sent here. It's no place to be when you've got a child. You'll see him one day, I know you will. I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you. Falling in love is not a crime and should not earn you a life sentence to this hellhole. You should be free. You say you didn't have friends, but you've gained one more. I will always be here for you, darling. Us girls need to stick together, for one day, it'll be all we have. Our wits and sanity will have all been lost, and all of us will be beyond broken, beyond repair. I haven't been with anyone. I mean, a strict life following Catholic rules was hard. No sex before marriage, and now I see girls getting raped everyday. Such horror!" Flora explained quietly.

"I know they are," she agreed.
Rosemary shook her head. "My story isn't as romantic as it sounds. Maybe I'll give you all the details another time," she said, shrugging. "As for seeing Nathaniel again, I believe I will. Somehow. That keeps me going. I don't know how you got so smart, but I like it. And you're such a nice girl, too. Very...I don't know, optimistic in a pessimistic way. It's surprising, with you being here and all." She finished the last of her juice and then leaned forward some to speak so only she could hear. "Did you ever think a place like this existed? Did you ever think that things like this happened?"
She imagined, growing up the way she did, boy did she imagine, but her wildest nightmares never, ever prepared her for this.

"I know they are," Flora said smiling.
"Perhaps not romantic, but surely it must be better than mine. I cannot begin to tell you of all my misery. Yes, we shall speak again another time, this time does not seem like the appropriate time. When we both have time allotted, we'll talk again. In a bloody place like this, optimism is a good thing. Keep facing the light, no matter how many times they throw you into darkness. There is a light, there is will. I have not considered myself intelligent. I'm merely me. Never did I once think a place like this existed."
