Chapter 15: Roses and dreams, what do they mean?
----------------------
"Hurry and paint the roses red," a playing card orders the others, as he paints the white roses a crimson red.
"Hurry before the flowers wither," states another card to the cards that comply by painting in a hurry.
"Paint... the roses?" I think in confusion.
Suddenly, a blonde-haired girl walks up to the talking cards. She is wearing a black ribbon tied at the centre of her head, a knee-length baby blue dress with puffy sleeves and a white apron wrapped around her waist, along with white stockings in black ankle-strap shoes.
Approaching one of the cards, she asks, "Why do you have to paint the white roses red?"
"Why do you ask? The truth is we made a mistake and grew white ones." relays the first card.
"The queen loves red. If she sees white, she'll have our heads!" explains another.
"Really?" the girl exclaims.
The third card affirms, "That's right. Therefore, we're painting the roses."
Suddenly, my surroundings change. I find myself lying on a soft bed of red and white roses, scattered beneath and all around me. A round pillow with checkered patterns appears, suddenly as I touch the layer of the roses. Everything smells and feels so familiar to me, an everyday place that feels warm and safe to me. I wish I could stay here forever...
*Knock*
*Knock*
My eyes snap open. I notice that it is still dark outside. I set up and rub the sleepiness from my eyes.
Where am I exactly? The bed of roses... that was a really strange dream...
The knocking persists.
*Knock*
*Knock*
Judging the sound, based on how far it is coming from, the knocking must be taking place at the main door.
Grim, just waking up beside me, groans, "Munyaa... hey Lilith. Sounds like we have a late-night visitor. "What? Is it those ghosts again? They don't know when to quit. Come on, let's finish them off quickly, then head back to bed. We need to be fresh for college."
*Knock*
*Knock*
I follow Grim down the stairs, cradling Wolly in my arms for comfort, still lost in my thoughts about the dream earlier.
As we make our way towards the foyer of the dorm, I walk to the door: "Who would come over this late?" I ask Grim.
He shrugs.
A familiar voice calls out from the other side of the door: "It's me, Ace. Let me in."
Grim mutters tiredly: "Ace? What're you doing this late... Gehgeh! You have a collar!" he exclaims.
Ace stands before us, livid with rage. A red and black heart-shaped collar is fastened on his neck.
"I'm never going back to Heartslabyul. Starting today, I'm joining your dorm!" he shouts.
"Come again!? What!?" Grim and I exclaim at his declaration.
Whatever has happened?
