"It started when I dreamt of your sister."

"Where the h*ll is this?" Tanong ni Shin sa kanyang sarili ng makitang lahat ay kulay puti. Nang nag-adjust na ang kanyang paningin, bigla siyang nagandahan sa paligid niya.Filled with flowers, fresh air and trees who gave her shelter. The clear river that flows through the stream silently as if it's trying to calm her down an for works. He walked at the fine grass, not feeling itchy or painful but it was soft like she had walk on clouds instead of the green grass.
"The h*ll. It should be fine if I keep on living here forever." Shin muttered as she layed down on the grass, feeling the sun rays hit into her skin, the soft grass on her back as if it was a mattress, the shade of the tree, hiding her in the presence of the sun. She hopes that peace would stay in this land for as long as she's here.
"You think so?" Someone ask making Shin sat up and looked at the girl who's sitting on the trunk. The girl smiled beautifully at her, making Shin awed for a minute. But something was not right, she can not see the girl's face very well.
"I think so." Shin said and smiled at the girl. "I do too, want to stay in this place for a long time." The girl said as she giggled and jump down.
"Do you know that this place never grows old?" The girl who shared the fact said as she started to walk away. Shin immediately followed her and holds the girl's hand. "What do you mean?" Shin asked.
"This place, never grows old. The trees never old, the flowers will never wilt, the grass will never withered. This place never change it appearance. Peace is visible in this place." The girl said and breathe in before cutting the small rose.
The rose who's original color is white, turned to red as the girl cut it. "Why did you cut it?" Shin asked as she look at the girl's bleeding finger. "Look at you, you cut your self too." She said worriedly at the girl.
"Before you speak, it's go first at the stream. Goodness, did your mother teach you that roses should not be cut off as they show greatest beauty and love?" Shin said as she guided the girl to the stream.
"My mother is deeply sleeping." The girl sadly said and smiled at Shin. Shin didn't notice the sadness but she began to clean her cut finger. "This should be okay. You should be careful." Shin said and smiled at the girl.
"Can I speak now?" The girl asked and Shin nodded. She saw how the girl smiled at her, it was so beautiful that it would make you fell in love in just a minute.
"You asked why I cut the rose right?" The girl asked again to Shin who's quietly listening to her. Again, Shin nodded at her making her nod as well.
"You said Rose is connected to Love and Beauty. But little did you know, it's also connected to a person's life. It turns red if someone died. But right now, I cut the rose because it's how it is." The girl explained at Shin.
"I don't get it. What do you mean?" Shin asked the girl. The girl looked at her, with sadness in her eyes but was hidden with the smile plastered in her life.
"I just ended someone's life." The girl said while holding the flower in her chest, cherishing the red rose in her chest. Even though the thorn cut deeply on her skin, she didn't let go of the rose.
"Stop that! You're hurting!" Shin shouted at the girl but she stepped back when Shin took a step forward. "Do you know why I ended the rose's life?" She asked while looking at the rose in her chest.
Hindi sumagot si Shin at naglakad papalapit sa dalaga ngunit lakad ito ng lakad paatras. As if she doesn't want Shin to touch her. "Okay I won't come near you, but please let go of that rose." Shin pleased the girl.
"Are you telling me to let go? Are you telling me to not embrace the death behind this rose? Are you telling me to abandon this rose?" Tanong ng dalaga sa kanya.
"No! I meant that you should let go of that rose before the thorns suck inside your skin!" Shin shouted fraustratedly at her.
"No. I don't want to."
"Why did you cut it in the first place?!" Galit na sigaw ni Shin. Nagagalit at naiinis na siya sa babaeng kausap niya. Kung sino man ang mama nito sasampalin niya talaga kase pinabayaan niya.
"Because this rose won't last long. This rose won't survive." The girl said and glance at the white rose that filled the bushes. "Her presence was more to be fitted as the villain in every roses life. Her life was not for her to be dedicated. The rose I'm holding is the sacrifice for the peace. This rose has no freedom in the first place, that's why I cutted it. Pretty sad, right?" Natawang sabi ng dalaga sa kanya.
She can't understand this girl. It's like she's talking to someone else who's future is full of miseries. "Why are you telling me this instead of keeping this story?" Shin asked.
The girl's eyes were taken a back as a tear fell down from her check. The girl beamed at Shin and wiped the tear that fell down from her eyes.
"It's because she was hated by everyone that she accept the fact that she's the villain in the world making everyone's life miserable. She had no one to talk to, there's no one to talk to." The girl smiled.
"It's time for you to wake up, you know?" The girl said and grabbed Shin. "Hurry, everyone's waiting for you." The girl added making Shin's eyebrows furrowed. What's she talking about?
"What are you talking about? Who's gonna wake up?" Shin asked while running to match the pace of the girl. The girl brought here at the edge of the clear blue lake. The girl then smiled at her as her eyes glimmer under the sight of the sun.
"Mom, I'm glad I helped you. Please, be well Mom. I love you." The girl said and pushed Shin. Shin was taken a back as she felt that the time slowed down. Shin stared at the girl who pushed her. Shock was evident in her face but as soon as she felt the water, she clearly saw the face of the girl. Crying under the shade of the tree, as sunlight wrapped around her.
Then she fell down, and everything went black.

"Ugh, what the bloody h*ll." She gasped making everyone looked at her with pure tears rolling in their eyes."Call some healers and mages! My wife is awake! G*ddamn my wife is awake!"
