Poison

Rose.

As the girl awoke from her sleep, she went to her mother and asked for food. The mother agreed and made her favourite, pasta. The girl enjoyed her food then went out to play with her dog, Lucky. Lucky was a good dog who has been with her since day 1! The girl adventures into the nearby forest and sits on a log with Lucky and picks up a rose, as red as blood. She sniffs it and then pricks her finger on a thorn by accident and screams. This thorn was sharp and had some sort of blood already on it. She ran through the forest trying to find her way out but was unable to find a way. She tried calling her mum but there was no signal whatsoever. This made her panicked, she was only 11 and was unknown to what may happen if she can't find a way out. The sun was setting and she was about to give up, only until she saw a log cabin perched upon a mountain. She tries to climb the mountain and knocks on the door. Nobody answered, she thought it's maybe abandoned and that it would be a good idea to stay there for the night. She opens the door and looks around. Cobwebs and spiders everywhere. Furniture covered in rose petals, the rose petals looked fresh and the same as the rose which pricked her. She turns around and sees a tall figure standing near the door, it seems to be covered in blood and has long white hair. She screams and tries to run but she wasn't fast enough. The creature grabbed her by the neck and pushed her down, holding a rose, this rose wasn't like any other rose. The petals was sharp needle like thorns. The creature stabbed the eyes of the girl and her neck. Making her scream in agony. The creature hits a blood vessel and the girl lays immobile. She's dead now the creature mumbled in a croaky voice. "Honey.. honey!" The mother shouts. The daughter wakes up with a fright. The daughter replies with " Phew it was just a dream.." The mother comes into the room with a rose and a cup of coffee for the girl. The daughter is confused as to why the mother has a rose when she had a nightmare about it. The mother hands her the coffee and the rose. The girl denies holding the rose and the mother says "Fine I'll have it myself" the girl shakes her head. The mother leaves the room and then walks back in with a grin on her face. "That wasn't a dream, my darling. That is reality." And runs to her and stabs her in the heart with a sharp rigged knife. The daughter weeps and cries as blood gushes all over her bed. The mother stands and looks at the blood soaked carpet and the walls, covered in blood from her daughter. And smiles. "It's over now darling, hush."
