I don't really remember Mama and Papa. They died when I was little. Rose says that Mama had the most lovely Auburn hair (which Rose later explained meant red) and Papa had deep warm brown eyes and a beard that tickled when he hugged us.
No one will tell us how they died. I think it was a fire. Rose disagrees; she thinks bandits. We don't have any relatives, so we are being forced to leave our farm; the home that I had known all my life.
We ended living in the streets of Bowerstone, barley getting by. Winter is coming and it's getting cold fast. Rose says we are lucky to have "found" a clean (well, cleanish) place to live.
I'm worried about Rose. See, there's this man that keeps coming and asking her for (or about, I can't really tell) something. I don't understand what it's about, but Rose is angry. She told me never ever to go near him. Oh well. Rose knows more about these sort of things, plus she's the eldest. So I trust her with my life.
A bird pooped on me today while we were warming ourselves by a small fire-in-a-barrel. It was annoying but guess what? A trader came to town today! He was selling all sorts of exciting stuff like a magic mirror and a beautiful silver music box. Rose says magic is rubbish, but I don't know if that's really the case. A blind gypsey overheard her- and I don't know how this happened- but the next thing I know, we're off on a quest to get 5 gold coins to buy the music box.
So after a bit of odd work and some luck, Rose and I gathered enough gold coins to purchase the music box. The Trader said that if you turn the handle and make a wish, it'll come true! Rose says she gonna wish (for both of us) to live in a castle.
After Sis made the wish, the box disappeared spontaneously. It was very saddening but Rose told me to go to sleep. I could tell she was disappointed too. But good news! When we were out getting coins, we ran into this stray mutt that Rose saved from some local bully. He helped us out on some of the jobs after that. Anyways, he was waiting for us at our- I don't know what to call it really…Shelter. Rose let him stay and he's so darn adorable.
Okay, I'll make this quick. Lord Lucien invited us to his Castle! We were so surprised when Dog (that's what I call him) started barking at the royal messenger. It woke us straight up. I wonder why he wants us? I'm so excited!
Sometime later
Rose…Big Sis is dead. Lucien killed her. I watched it happen and I couldn't stop it. After he…shot Rose, he turned and fired at me. The force of the bullet threw me out of the window and I fell a long ways before hitting the ground. I don't know what happened after that. I woke up months later and saw the Blind Gypsy and Dog at my side. She said her name was Theresa and she's gonna take care of me from now on. I have a real family now.
I do think it would be a good idea to include Logan's reaction to reading this Journal. But Until I get back into Fable and Writing, I'm keeping it as is.
