The garden of Eden

They tried to kill me,
burn me at the stake
Told me I wasn't pure
That I wasn't holy
That I was nothing but the pure devil
Do you know who I am? I'm Eden. I'm the creation of all life. I'm the creator of all humans walking this green earth right now. I am a mother.
and
I am life.
Nothing can kill me.

1692, New Orleans, Louisiana. Close to fall, but far from it. Nothing but fields and trees, silence and peace. My name is Eden Macel. I'm 19 years of age and for the most part.. I had it great. But something changed this year.. life wasn't as it seemed.

The towns got flooded last spring and we are recovering. Mostly, it seems like the crops stayed intact, which is a good sign. The bad part is that half of the crops are gone, the ones we have left would have to be kept away for harvesting in the winter.

As I walked through the town I could see the people boarding their buildings up, taking their signs down, and closing everything. As I walked into our mother's flower store, she was doing the same thing.

" what's the matter of all this?" I asked walking through the door with my basket in hand. "Eden it's none of your concern just help me get all of this stuff towards the basement please and thank you." My mother said sternly, more with fear in her voice.

I walked towards the counter and put my basket down but I couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong
"Well, the O'Connells and the Jamersons are also boarding up their shops.. mom? What's the matter?" I said turning to her but I could tell that she was getting agitated.
" Eden So'ona macel. I do not have time for your foolishness and I for certain do not have time for your questions. Matter of fact, I don't need your help anymore, go gather your sisters and take them home."

That was the first time she'd called my full name in years, for some odd reason I felt like I had done something wrong, but I didn't want to push her so I obeyed her rules and went to gather my sisters. I started at the Jamersons building looking for Amira and Aria, the twins.

The town called us the odd beings because we have twins in our family. It's still a shock thus far but that's the power of life isn't it?

To crave the life of existence? To live at the highest peak of the energy? To create beings with determination and creativity? To change and develop? Is it not? Is that not what life is?
I was taken out of my trans as I stepped foot on the Jameson steps before I could knock on the door, it swung open "They are not here you need to leave" Ms. Mabel said.

you can see the emotions on her face, the fear in her eyes, the pain behind them. " where could they be then? Are you okay Ms. Mabel?" I asked stepping up the stairs.
" do not come any closer I'm telling you! It is not safe, you need to leave! NOW!" she screamed. I was taken aback by the way she yelled at me. She looked deranged and scared for her safety... I couldn't do anything but walk away.
