Growing Flowers

Chapter 9-water levels

My eyes were shattered. It felt like someone poured salt or even maybe poison straight into my eyeballs just to watch it burn. I watched my own body being wet and clothes drenched with the river water. I coughed everything out of my mouth in a hurry, looking back up at the grass from above. I can see the huge dragon sitting there, still growling with her hissing noise from her throat.

Rester came from the river, all drenched as well. He stood upright with smiling as he driveled onto the sand. I glanced as I hope that dragon doesn't come after us again. Maybe she's asleep? I can't hardly tell at all. I grabbed my bag that she gave me with Rester looking up at me with splattered mud all over him.

"Everything ok ruby?"he asked while coughing up sand and water from his mouth. He also looked back up, seeing the dragon hissing with blood still pouring from her spine.

I sighed, gritting the bag by my fist "we have to find those keys in a hurry. Scrubo could trap us here to suffer in darkness if we don't find them."I asked. Rester used himself to dry off the wet water off of him, carried himself along next to me.

"Ever think that dragon lady might come back though?"Rester asked still drying off his clothes as I turned to look on him while waiting up for him.  Rester glanced at me as he perked up at the dragon on top of the hill.

I doubt it. Besides, maybe a tree slammed on her, lets get going now before scrubo thinks any death ideas."I asked as Rester agreed as he followed me as we both walked o the trail while the sun was now riding with weird birds and other animals based off of my stuffed animals.

Back on the hill with the dragon girl, Scrubo appeared out of nowhere on top of the dragons girl back. He smiled as he was glitching with codes as he flew down to the dragons face as she stared at him.

He smiled, crossing his arms behind his back. "I see they got away huh?"he smiled as the dragon frowned, still bleeding. "Oh don't worry, Ruby never liked you in the first place. You'll be fine, Soon."he chuckled as he placed his hand on her face as she looked.

The dragon was terrified, whispering in a voice he couldn't hear "please! Don't do this to me!"she yelled in distant voice that nobody nor anyone could hear her as Scrubo vaporized her into a skeleton as she dropped dead to the ground.

Scrubo stared lifeless as he smiled, blowing the ashes of her away "you'll will get a chance."he smiled as he flows over, seeing us run with Rester behind me "don't run away ruby, you'll see what actually fears you the most."he smiled, disappearing as me and Rester almost made it to where the first key is stored as I grabbed it without stopping. Than I finally stopped.

Rester looks at the key I have in my hand, the brown vines toggling along on it with red flowers growing on it. Rester stared "I forgot what the red flowers mean?"he asked.

I looked at him "they mean anger, not sure why it's our first pick though?"I asked as Rester was confused even more as there was loud sirens bringing out as they were so loud we have to plug our ears.

Rester was triggered "Aughhh! Where the fuck did these sirens come from!"he asked as I shrugged in a hurry as they stopped with a scream like noise. Me and Rester we're confused, why were there sirens?

I looked up after the sirens stopped. There was no electricity nor electric wires in this world. We're still in purgatory but trapped in a bubble in it. Rester glanced at me with an odd look "well, whatever that was maybe scrubo was warning us or even there might be danger like a tornado coming after us."

"Why would you think of a tornado?" I asked quietly, holding the brown bag in place by my left armpit. Something came to me. I smell water, like waves in the ocean pounding against a dock by the shore line. I looked behind me as Rester did as well.

Down in the lower ground, a huge tsunami was coming its way as the water was pounding against trees and birds with other animals struggling as they weren't real ones. The waves were higher like any other building around the world. I never been to America nor other countries but I pretty much know the towers and buildings there. I watched with a scared expression.

"Rester, let me pick you up and get on my back!"I shouted as he did so with his little feet hitting my face. He hurled his furry arms and hands around my neck as I ran to the nearest top of weird crystal blue mountain as Rester spots a yellow flower, he picked up a net from his back that he made before I got here as he scooped and pick up the flower.

I smiled that he had time "good timing!"I asked while out of breath as the water was chasing us like a tornado picking up things with matter of seconds. Rester smiled as the cave was only half of a mile more. I used my speed to get into it l.

We only have. Two flowers so far. Anger and happiness. Wonder if those will happen to us. The waves were getting bigger, it's like someone is pulling the speed of it. With the right time we made it to the cave as the whole thing was shaking crazy as Rester looked behind as a huge rock fell down, blocking the entrance with water climbing through the cracks, letting it getting in.

I put Rester down as I glanced at the water rushing in. "Now what? Now where stuck in a cave with no help at all nor exit!"rester yelled as I turned around to face around as water was rushing in quickly.

"There has to be an exit Rester, you're not giving up on me yet. If we want to live than we find a way out."I raised my voice higher. Rester shrugged, getting off a dirty rock as water reaches his feet.

"I know how to live, that's the story. You already found happiness, by choosing me over someone else. You always carry me around every single damn day."he raised more of his voice.

I lowered my shoulders, "fine, you go find your own stupid way to get out. I'm drowning myself if I can."looking at the water rising up to my stomach as I glance back up to Rester "I'll let you drown."I asked angry ask push myself through the heavy thickness of the water down more further as Rester watched, realizing he'll die by himself. Just like when I left him home that day.
