Chapter 4
Wounds That Wont Heal
A/N: Thanx for all the reviews I love all my reviewers sooo much!
As days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, Hannah and Germaine forged bonds with the village women, asking them for advice on raising a child. They were in over their heads and they knew it.
An old woman lived in the nearby town. No one knew much about her. The entire village as Granny Beth knew her. She had no family nearby and had never received any visits from any one. Even the oldest, nosiest gossips the town had to offer knew nothing about her past. Granny Beth had lived near La Chateau de la Fleur for as long as anyone could remember.
Granny lived alone with about 20 stray animals. However although she had no family living with her, her house was never empty. Granny Beth was the primary caregiver for most of the community. They had no doctor, so if someone were sick, injured or abandoned they would go to Granny Beth.
So where would two teenagers, suddenly given a child to raise and no idea how to go about it turn but to Granny Beth?
Hannah and Germaine invited the wise old lady to live with them at the Castle, but she refused. She agreed to help them but wouldn't leave her cottage, Claiming, "I'm too old for change like that, you girls can come to see me like anyone else."
Four months later, Lina was adjusting well to her new environment. She had friends among the village children and understood that Mommy was in heaven and wasn't coming back.
After many early tears and a lot of sadness Lina was beginning to heal.
One emotional wound was still raw and bleeding in Lina's heart. She understood why Mommy couldn't be with her. Mommy didn't choose to die and if she could she would come and tuck Lina in just like she used too.
That part she understood, what Lina didn't understand was why Daddy didn't seem to love her anymore.
A/N: ok I know this chapter was a rip-off. Please don't hurt me!
However I thought this was the best place to end for now. I promise another chapter will be coming this week
