The tumbledown condition of the maid's room was preserved as it is by the application of glass frames on it, clearly protecting it from the reach of visitors.The room was a small one, having a chair in the corner, which was also surrounded by a glass frame. The chair was weary one, eaten away by moths at places, broken at one of the handles. That was the only chair there, indicating the unavailability of it for the maids over there.It had a brief description of its presence over there by the side."There were many of the props over her to be displayed, we have sent few for preserving and others for getting framed", she cleared, "There were many belongings of them found over here, that would certainly make someone c

Murphy gasped at the sight of what was inside the coffin and backed off.Exactly the skeletal remains of a human as she read on the manuscript, covered over by some cloth below the waist,whole of the flesh had sloughed off over time, the orbits were empty of any eyes that used to be there.But there was something unordinary about the skeleton, it didn’t have any muscles or skin on her face to have any expressions made upon it, but still, it clearly looked like a frightened away remains!

They turned around to examine the room, which was spacious enough as compared to the one below it. It was having huge windows like spaces, from which the wood had probably been eaten off slowly over time, and it was dark inside it too.The windows opened into a terrace like space but which was covered over by sand up to some level, but the sand was hindering the view over, darkening the inside of the room.Hellion climbed up there swiftly like a squirrel climbing up the trees, joining them in a moment, breathing heavily."So, here we are. It is the attic of the royal maids. At least it appears like that of it. But the sandstorms here had probably shunned off the sun from over here. It's because of the sand over it', she was speaking against her heavy breathing, "We will soon be able to bring it to the surface, and then we may enjoy the view from here, as the royal maids did".She was too interested in the idea of making it the same place a

Murphy slowly recognized the presence of Sam and Hellion over there.His arm around her, holding her away from the floor, closely towards him, while Hellion was leaning over and examining her heartbeat.His face had got pale and anxious, his eyes locked upon her face, waiting for any response from her."Sam. . .", Murphy said in a low weak voice, "what happened to me? Why had I fallen?".Her chest pain was getting worse, and her head throbbing hard.They finally sighed with relief watching her getting into consciousness. Hellion pulled back and grabbed a bottle of water from her backpack instantly and helped her drink it sip by sip."Are you okay Murphy? Come drink some more water", Sam's voice was worried as he kept on inquiring.Murphy could feel some energy in her body coming back, she tried to sit on her own on the floor, while Hellion and Sam sat beside her."What happened to me?", she asked in a

It was another fine morning waiting for them to join in the loneliness of it. The sun shone brightly alone in the yard, trying to peek into Murphy's room behind the curtains, waiting for her to rise.She opened her heavy eyes as if awakened from a tedious job.She remembered having slept too early yesterday's night, without even having dinner, she could remember that from the growling sound of her stomach, giving alarm of its hunger."Uh! What do you want again? Hungry all the time", she was talking to her tummy absent-mindedly, while she was in no mood to get out of bed and meet the worldly affairs again.All she wanted a peaceful time in her warm bed, not wishing to want or yearn for anything, nor any relation, carefree from economical crisis, no health burdens, just a day for her own, free of any confusion, no sign of any diversion hanging over her head.She sighed, looking at the clock, thinking about Nanny, who would have been up

"I would love to have that", Murphy exclaimed with joy.Sam was smiling at their little moments of happiness. Their happiness meant the world to him.Nanny was holding their hands too tightly, she didn't want to let them go away even for some timely moments.Her eyes began to water slowly, she was trying to hide away the pain that was causing the streams to pour out from the rocks.Sam sept nearer, putting his hand on her cheek lightly, making her feel like a child, who needs to be shown sympathy, like an ointment on a hurt.Her eyes watered out more and more, turning into complete sobbing and her breath was getting heavier upon the exertion upon her lungs at the face of emotional pain.She was getting breathless now, trying to speak against the resistance of her breath, her face was getting flushed at the effort of her body.Murphy leaned over her, trying to get her calm by patting her head and assuring her their presence forever, "Mother, c

Murphy closed the main door behind her quietly, while she left home for Mr. Churchill's bakery.It was a long walk from her home, so she decided not to take a cab, but take the walk instead, she wanted to have some self-time to ponder over a few substantialities.It was a hard time to see her mother's eyes watering, and the issues that prevailed upon her ailing heart.Walking towards the bakery, lost inside her mind, she was ignoring every passer-by, robotically headed towards her destination, with a buzzing head on inside.Her brain was vibrating at what had happened recently, the anxiety of Nanny was not without a reason, what was probably making her worry so much.That was probably the fact that she didn't want them to get lost in the world, while finding new ways and walking on them, hence parting away their paths, they would be lost in this world of evilness.'But, that's not gonna happen. I always will be on his side.

That was the last time that she was seeing her Nanny's face, which was all quiet and calm, free from her ailing soul, departed from a painful cage of her body.Murphy rose from the floor instantly and ran towards her, falling over, she could barely keep her balance intact.She stood beside the body, from which the soul had departed miles away, Nanny was lying there sound asleep, not willing to get up forever.The peace on her face clearly shown the torment of her crippling life, she had given them her soul, her energy to raising them, she gave up too much to make them realize that she was their mother, now she had forgotten all the promises and sailed away in the ocean of freedom, leaving them behind at the edge of it, on the beach of miseries and sorrow.Murphy's heart bled with the torment of her departure, she couldn't believe that she is gone.Sam stood beside her body on the other side, quieter than a portrait hung on a wall, he seemed to still be
