The Rose By @limi_flowers Chapter 1 The Memory Many years ago on a chilly rainy night, I was at a party. My uncle gifted me a rose in a vase for my 6th birthday "Thanks" I cried. When we went home it was already 2A.M, I laid the vase on the dinner table and went to bed. The next morning I went to the table for breakfast, but then I realized the house was... empty, all that was there was me, the rose and my longing echo. I wondered "Huh, where has my family gone? have they abandoned me?" my heart was thumping loud and clear, I was worried by this situation. Suddenly rain poured out of the clear early morning sky, clouds covered every corner of my sight. I went into the pantry and grabbed some of the leftovers "Dang, does my family not even care about me? all they left in the pantry was a bunch of leftover!" I thought. I sat near the table looking out the window into the wilderness, I felt alone and frightened so I grabbed the rose in the vase and hugged it tight, it was and still is very special to me, I remember nothing more but all that I do I have told... Chapter 2 The Special Feeling Now that I am looking back at this special memory my feelings from all those years ago are coming back. My heart felt strange in a warm, special way which is not possible to describe in words, I don't know why I felt so emotional to the point I knelt down and cried with the rose in my hands, it was all I had left. The cold breeze rushed in threw the window, I shivered but the rose acted like a mental shield, in the afternoon I went to all 5 of my neighbour's houses but even there all that gave me company was my heart, the rose and a deep loud echo I felt lost as if life was a puzzle that I had to solve yet something felt uncomplete as if the puzzle was missing a piece... Chapter 3 The Adventure Fear slowly but surely getting replaced by bravery and the urge for answers "What is the meaning of this? what is the meaning of life?" I wondered as I couldn't help seeing a missing piece in the puzzle of life. I had been through enough so I packed my bags with all that I had left which was not much and under the harsh rain I went out to search for a new life and answers. I ran through the now empty neighbour hood. "Geez, it's freezing out here." I said but what was the point? nobody was there to hear me. I wandered so far that I had reached the far away mountains "Woah, this is soo cool!" I said after seeing the mountain, but what did I expect? nobody was there to answer, the feeling of fear was slowly coming back. I stood at the base of the mountain and took a deep breath and began climbing, it went from day to night and night to day after the painfully long journey I arrived and spotted a small abandoned cabin there was a note on it saying "Hey you creature take this cabin I don't want it." when I walked in a was in shock it was in a very good and livable condition with loads of food! "I think they have lost their mind! why would they abandon such a lovely cabin?" I though, so I moved in. Chapter 4 Life In The Cabin Life in the cabin was barely any different yet in the inside it felt like a different universe. As the snow started to build up outside, the feeling of insecurity increases. After all I was alone....but not, my rose was like my mother, it gave me emotional support and helped me to keep on fighting through my lonely life, the bed was hard as rock but I laid an old mattress over it and it became soo comfortable. "Maybe I can settle in!" I thought, tomorrow would be a day of adventures to try and find the truth and meaning of this.... Chapter 5 The Early Morning I woke up early whilst it was still dawn, barely any sunlight in the freezing cold. I shivered out of bed, I took some of the food, it was a bit damp but still good! "Yum! I wonder why they left this behind?" suddenly I glanced my eyes towards the table, the rose was lighting up, to my surprise! "Oh my goodness! rose are you ok?" I yelled somewhat quietly with my little voice. That's all in which I have permission to share or want to so let's talk about the present. Chapter 6 The Present Even now I am living in this old rusty cabin that I have cleaned and claimed. The rose is still my only friend, even after 13 whole years have past! it hasn't left my side once, for just an ordinary emotional girl who hasn't seen her family in 13 long years, I am living the life of the dream. There was millions of ways this could have gone but it went in a positive direction. The rose still gives me all those weird, wonderful and emotional feelings. That's my crazy life. The end.
