(DISCONTINUED) When the Crocuses Bloom

Chapter 30

Hey y'all, can you guys be sure to comment as you read cause it's makes me feel like ppl are actually seeing this and helps me stay motivated.

Winter's POV:

I walked back into my house and closed the door with a click.

My cottage was small and quaint, only having two rooms, both very simply decorated.

The walls were a light sea green with white accents. When you walked there was the room with my bed and dresser. Connected to that was the bathroom, painted to match.

It was small but I'd still miss it. I grabbed my small black backpack off the floor and decided what to pack.

Looked over my room. I didn't have much in the way of stuff. Not things that I had emotional attachment meant to anyway.

I opened my dresser drawers and pulled out multiple changes of clothes.

No one ever noticed this, but I never wore short sleeves. I'd always just liked long sleeves.

I had a few black turtlenecks, some black khakis and my favourite hoodies. I looked into my closet at my uniform.

I reached in and pulled out the revolutionary outfit.

I smiled and gently folded it. I placed it at the bottom of the bag before putting the other folded clothes above it.

I grabbed the keys to my house as well. This house was almost break-in proof without the keys.

I chucked them in the bag before making my way to the bathroom.

This room had my small vanity and shower.

I opened the mirror cabinet and pulled out the bag I kept all my beauty products in.

I had a few simple things in the black purse like bag.

I had my nail polish — a base coat, black polish and a top coat. Then there was my black eyeliner and liquid lipsticks. The lipsticks came in matte black and matte red.

I had never cared much for completely redoing my complexion with makeup seeing as I had no blemishes.

Except one… I thought as my thought drifted to the scar on my cheek.

Whatever, made me look more badass anyway.

I looked at the cupboard and only saw two other things of importance.

One was a jewelry set Phil had given me when he'd visited when I was 12. I opened the box to admire it.

It was black and gold. Technically I was wearing the necklace right now. One earring had a little black and gold feather on a chain that connected to the top of my ear. (Y'all know what I'm talking about right?)

The ring was a black stone with flecks of gold carved to look like a crocus.

I smiled lightly and closed the box lid, placing it on the bench top.

The other thing was a long, ornately carved stick made of pearl, the iridescent blues, pink and greens swirling around the white. Mum hand left this for me. I don't know what it is but it fit perfectly in my hand, slightly curved, as if made to be held.

I stuck it into my pocket and grabbed a few other essentials like period shit.

I walked with my arms full back to the other room.

I dumped the shit in my arms on my bed and finished packing the bag. I made sure to throw in a sleeping mat and my blanket.

I then walked over to my weapons closet and got out my diamond armour.

I'd never had a chance to wear it in the war but it still looked new. Specific places had what looked like random lines etched into it but that was just the enchantments.

Picked up each amour piece and slipped them lightly into a separate bag. I also put my quiver of arrows and enchanted bow in the bag.

The bow was enchanted with infinity and the quiver had arrows tipped with different potions.

Once I was sure I had everything, I pulled out my black feather fountain pen and wrote a note on a slip of paper.

Niki,

I have gone to find Wilbur to help what I only assume he's doing.

Getting this country back.

I'm of no use within Manburg. Please don't miss me too much, I need to get my brother back.

Don't let Schlatt get to you, it's what he wants. Stay strong.

Tell Tubbo about this, please. I don't want him worrying about me.

Once you have read this, burn it.

Be safe,
Winter Soot

I placed the cap of the pen back on and put it in my pocket. I folded the note in four and grabbed the small tart I had brought earlier.

I then waited for night to fall.

Hello! Sorry about the short chapters, I'm not good at writing long things unless it takes a few days. I prefer making more chapters as I go then longer ones.

Please remember to comment, it helps a lot.

Take care of yourself. Shower, eat, drink water, make your bed and touch grass. These little things will help.

Love you all.
