June 23

Selene was sitting in her garden by her lonesome self. She stared blankly at the beautiful array of flowers. Any other time, this would brighten her day right up, but she's been looking at this scenery for almost a month. She sighs softly and reaches down to touch the petal of a flower by her feet.

The flower looks as though it was leaning towards the girl's touch. She gives the flower a gentle smile. "You are marvelous little one" Selene spoke softly to the flower.

Her gaze soon turns sad as her mind trails off to her childhood friend. She hadn't been able to leave the house nor have visitors since she fell sick. "I wonder how much I missed...." She looks down at her arms to see pink camellia sprouting on them. She quickly, but lightly plucks the flowers off her arm. It didn't hurt her to do so rather it was quite ticklish.

"Are you just going to sit there and wilt away?" A voice behind her calls out to her. Selene didn't have to turn around to see who it was.

"Oh Aunt Misa, a flower like me could never wilt away. I'm way too awesome" Selene said with a goofy grin; she turns to look at her Auntie. Her hazel green eyes met with her Aunt's brown eyes.

"Are you sure? You've been devoid of your precious light. I'm not an expert like you but I do know flowers need their light" Aunt Misa said plucking a single pink camellia from Selene's box braids. Aunt Misa examined the flower closely, Selene has been leaving trails of this particular flowers all month. She sighs softly and looks at her niece's slightly confused face.

"Well that's true...I guess I am wilting away a bit. It just gets a bit lonely here especially when you go off to work" Small purple hyacinth sprouts in her hair. Selene was never one to hide her emotions. She always expressed how she felt: if she was lonely, she'd tell you. If she was angry, she'd yell at you. If she was sad; she'd ask for a hug. That's just the type of person she is.

Misa frowns a bit seeing that her favorite, only, niece sad and lonely. She runs her fingers through her short blackish grey hair. "Look.... Got some advice from a friend of mine not too long ago and they said a growing teen shouldn't be trapped in the house...so-" she was cut off by Selene hugging her tightly.

"Really? You're letting me out?! But is that okay since I'm still 'sick'?" The teenage girl said doing quotation marks with her fingers. Her sickness had been worse than ever since that one night. It was horrible...she was at the park when she felt that pressure. Her skin grew thorns with Oleander flowers blooming in her braids.

The pressure was up and down which caused her body to react more and more. Her aunt wouldn't allow anyone to come visit her, so her secret wouldn't be discovered. She sorta had to forbid her childhood friend from coming to visit cause after a week of her not coming to see him, he tried sneaking in.

A sad but noble attempt to say the less.

Though it was rather weird cause she has been this way since as long as she has remembered. Even her childhood friend didn't know about her 'situation.' She kept it hidden with some medication that her Auntie gave her, but it hasn't been working lately. She wasn't even sure why, so she has been in the house since May 21. She hadn't even seen any of her friends at all. She calls them every now and again, but Chad sucks with conversations and Ichigo being too busy as of lately.

"It's fine, I had a friend give me something similar to the medication from before help with your situation" Aunt Misa pats the teenage girl's head.

"Seriously?! When can I start taking it? Does it work immediately? Can I go to school today?"Selene asks with a burst of energy inside her. Her hair had  blooming orange gerbera daisy decorating her scalp. Her bright smile was infectious. Misa chuckles and smile softly at the younger girl.

"You can start taking it today and I believe so. But are you sure you wanna go to school? By the time you get there it'll be third period or lunch time" Misa asks with a curious look;however she wasn't surprised in the slightest. Selene nods vigorously with her eyes gleaming with excitement. She releases her Aunt from the embrace.

"Fine, if you the effects work immediately, but just so you know training will start again" Misa pats the young girl's head before walking off to get the medicine.

"H-Huh?! I thought you said we didn't need to do that stuff anymore" Selene whines a bit. She been through Misa's self defense training once and it was useful and painful. She was 13 years old when the lessons ended and 9 years old when she began.

"Yup, but it'll be a bit different...You're becoming a young woman and you need to learn as much as you can" Misa said with a scolding and serious tone. She pokes her niece's nose with an enduring smile.

"Oh okay...hopefully it's fun"
