Bind The Roses

Chapter 2

Large vines spread faster than wildfire reaches at all of the city's edges. Giant roses grew larger and taller than trees, blooming faster than anything.

Tears falling down, she couldn't mourn. She wants to but was forbidden to mourn. She lost the only person that she loved in her entire life. The curse of binding roses taking over her, loosing both of her sanity and consciousness.

Waking up sweating like crazy, Mizumi felt like she was hyperventilating. But she knew she wasn't. What the hell was that dream? Her loosing control? Crying? That sounds stupid, what was that dream even all about? It felt like deja vu to her. She begins to doubt if that was deja vu or just a mere nightmare.

Getting out of the covers and out of her bed, Mizumi headed to the kitchen. Not minding to even turn the lights on, she doesn't want to turn it on anyways since it'll bother her to turn it off again.Taking out a mug, rather than drinking cold water.

She made chamomile tea with milk in it. It might be a weird combination but she liked the flavour.After taking a sip, Mizumi stared outside her kitchen window. It wasn't cloudy tonight so the sky could be seen clearly but the moon was only slightly visible, of course it was new moon day after all.

She went outside her room and went to take a walk bringing her tea with her. Mizumi somehow ended up near the small river in the Jujutsu Sorcerer's school. Mizumi doesn't even wanna be here yet has to be.

It became a responsibility, to tame the curse that she's carrying. To harness her own curse energy, yet somehow she just wants freedom. A normal life.

What would life be even if she wasn't Rosa's vessel? Would she be out there buying souvenirs? Would she have a decent job? Have a wonderful family and a peaceful life? Yet those thoughts of hers seemed impossible.

Knowing what she was born in, she could never have the freedom. Everything was decided for her ever since the day that she was born. She couldn't choose, she had to bear the responsibilities that the past generations of the Amane family had.Having that thought just puts Mizumi into a situation where she just wanna kill herself, yet knowing Rosa she'll probably resurrect her and enjoy the suffering that she's in currently.

Mizumi sighed at that thought and took a quick glance in the dark yet bright starry night sky. Sea of stars where everysingle one of them wants to shine. Yet they burn and one day they'll run out of gas to burn and die.

Mizumi took her time to walk back at her room, an empty cup on her left hand and her right hand. She was growing stems of roses and blooms of them there. Beautiful yet dangerous.

The flowers that roses bloom are indeed beautiful, yet they're surrounded by thorns around their stem, protecting the plant. Does she really have to be the one to protect Rosa? Or was she the one under Rosa's wing? It doesn't really bother her, well atleast for now.

Mizumi suddenly stopped walking, she felt a strong curse aura. What was that? It felt strong yet the aura was feint. Was someone watching her? Two vines covered with thorns that could easily cut a human body grew around her waist.

Being protected by them, atleast she could controll these vines. With them around she could still feel the aura. But the school's location was supposed to have a seal thay could hide the sorcerer's here and make it look like an ordinary shrine?

Who could it be possibly? Mizumi didn't wanna overthink that night so she headed back to her room, vines that she grew on her waist just dispersed into thin air like it was just vaporized.

There's gotta be someone who knows what's going on inside and out in the school.
