Chapter 9 - Relief and Goodbye 2

David and Leah parents,were unknown by the Darmoth villagers after they were found dead.

There were not residents of the town and neighboring towns around Darmoth ,trying to track down identities outside the town and neighboring towns was already a stretch for the constables then,so the case was closed.

They were involved in a carriage accident,falling over the hill at the infamous Throve hiils, on their way back to Darmoth. Throve hills,was a very mountainous region which connected the human towns to the Capital.

When the case first emerged,people wondered if they were from the capital since they had the accident on that route but it was proven wrong after the officers at the capital border who checked everyone faces and had records of who passed could not bring their informations out or recognize them .Apart from that their two kids were found at an inn in Darmoth,the woman at the inn recognized the bodies as the kids parents but had no information except ,they came into the inn very late into the night and they offered a large sum to let them stay.

She didn't know when they left the sleeping kids,and left that morning,only for both of them to be found dead,the next day.

The lady at the inn reported the case about the abondoned children,David, only ten at the time and Leah, two, the constables figured out the connection.

David had been asked a lot of questions trying to ascertain,who his parents were and their names,but he only say three words,

"l don't remember ",like his memories had been wiped.

It was concluded David had amnesia,so the siblings were named again by the matron at the time,giving them only first names.

Since then,the siblings lived in Darmoth,and the death of the siblings parents was never solved.

...…

Melanie wondered ,were the siblings went,the matron had asked to call the both of them to her office,she went around searching the east gate dorms,when she sighted the siblings at the garden.

She noticed Leah crying,being freinds with Leah for a long time,it was the first time she had seen her cry this much.

Wondering what was wrong,she walked towards them but

Paused in her steps,when she heard David say,

"I promise to come find you at the rightful time,okay.".

Then it hit her,

was David leaving?,that would explain why Leah was crying so much.

Melanie walked towards them,David sighting her first.

She continued,

The matron,wants to see the both of you in her office,after saying that.

He looked at her and nodded,then stood up,Leah stood up too,holding the chest tight to her chest.

David spoke,

"You should give Melanie, the chest,to keep it at your dorm.It won't be nice,if the matron sees it.

Leah handed melanie the chest, to keep at their dorms as both siblings left for the matron's office.

Arriving there,they both entered the office,

Mr Phillip was seated on the sofa at the end.

The Matron ,looked up at both of them and asked,

"David,how are you feeling?",

"I'm feeling great today,David replied.

"I know by now you must have told Leah what we discussed about your health."

"Yes"David replied.

"That's good."

You will be leaving with Mr Phillip,who will get you a carriage at the carriage station.

"You should say,your good bye's dear.Your luggage is packed,And you will be leaving in any moment.

David hugged Leah once again,and said to her like he always said.

"Big brother loves you very much".

The children were inseparable,at exactly few minutes,the clock struck three and David broke his hug,his eyes were watered.

The matron speaking said to David,

"Don't worry she is safe here with us,you don't need to worry about her".

Mr Phillip got up and said'

"Let's move boy, reaching the carriage station would take an hour,from here."

Mr Phillip walked out of the office,following behind was David and then Leah.

The threesome walked out of the north gate to the entrance,the carriage had loaded David's luggage.

Mr Phillip hopped inside.Giving Leah a final look and a pat on her head,David went inside the carriage and closed the doors.

Leah watched as the horses quicken their pace,and watched as David continued to go far away,fresh set of tears ran down her cheeks

And her heart broke,once again.

She was alone,David was gone till further notice.

She blamed Darmoth for not having qualified physicians to treat David.

Sister Sarah,who helped the carriage man load the bags,felt bad for Leah.

Sister Sarah speaking said,

" we should go to your dorms,Leah.David will come back one day,just hope for it,trying as much as possible to comfort the young girl.

Lead nodded and left the orphanage entrance for her dorms.
