Rose had spent a long time blaming herself for getting buried alive. "If only I had run away with Sarah,I wouldn't have gotten buried alive and we would have had a happy life together",that was what rose told herself for a long time until saying the word got a little old for her and that was when she started dreaming of the life she could have had with her one true love. During all this time,Sarah never asked herself why and how she was still breathing for this long after being buried alive and to be honest,she would never think about it at all.
The year 1840::: rose and Sarah grew up as any two normal best friends would but when they got the age of 17,they realized that their was "friendship" wasn't a friendship at all but it was something romantic and they started dating. The world was still so religious and being in a same sex relationship wasn't exactly something you would classify as being holy,so the penalty for "immoralities" that was being hanged on a tree,being buried alive or being drowned to death by your parents. All these penalties would make anyone want to hide their relationship but when rose and Sarah got to the age of 20(which was a marriageable age for them),Sarah made a plan for the both of the to run very far away with other people like them who were in their village and the neighboring villages but on the day of them running away, rose never showed up so Sarah took the people and ran far away.
What happened to rose::: when rose was packing her thing to run away, a silly idea came into her mind which was" if my parents are the leaders and the lawmakers around here,I'll just tell them about me, sarah and all of us. Because I'm their daughter they'll change the law in my favor" but she was sorely mistaken and made a really bad decision telling her parents her plan.
