Chapter 14 Confession

Rowan’s POV:

It has felt like weeks since I have last seen everyone. It is still dark and dreary, and I am starting to sneeze from the constant dust and mold. I am rarely fed but when I am it is stale bred and Josephine only unties one of my hands while watching me. Warning me that if I try anything that she will kill me and I will never see the light of day again. I wouldn’t try anything even if I wanted to as I am too weak from near starvation and don’t know if she is armed or not. Being down here all this time has made me wonder what they are up to. Do Kendrick and Kelan miss me? Have they moved on by now? How is Pa and my brothers doing? Thinking about Pa makes me wonder why he would keep this from us. Keep the secret of having another child, my sister who has been my best friend for years, away from all of us. We could have been a happy family or at least tried to be. But now I have been betrayed by my own blood.
