The Curse of Golden Apple

Chapter 2 : Another Drop, Perhaps?

A/N : It's been a long time now... I'm trying to create more, but I know that my schedule is pretty tight. Being on the 3rd year of senior high school makes me really busy by now. I really don't have time @ my home. Btw I did these on my school! Should there is someone to thank, it will be for my friend takukun_tome! Please do vote her and of course, me :)

Enjoy!

Chapter 2 : Another Drop, Perhaps?

I remember this scene...

I played at that old swing alone in front of an old wooden house. The scenery is the town I'm in. I lived at the top of a hill, all alone.

Someone called me.

I turned around. It's her, and always be her. She wears a red and black frilly dress. She smiled and her blood – colored eyes look at me. She put her hands on my shoulder and whispered something on my ear. I can feel her golden hair touched my back.

"Dear, dear Lily. How is your garden?", she grinned.

"You know that I have no garden", I said.

"Innocent as always, my dear Lily" , she tighten her grip on me.

"You have one, big, pretty garden down there..."

She pointed at the town below. I follow her finger and look at her again, clueless.

She muttered, "The name is... Soul Garden"

I wake up, shocked. Then I start to look around. This is my house, and I'm lying on my sofa. I touched my head. I feel so dizzy. That voice is still ringing on my head. She is the source of my questions. I wonder who she is, yet I feel like I know her from a long time. Anyway, why do I end up in this place? Just a moment after that, I see a woman walk to me, bringing a glass of milk and a bowl of soup.

"Are you okay, Ms. Lily? Please have some of this..."

I look at her face. She is Mrs. Romanna, the mother of Mr. Roberto. Since when did she this kind to me? I remember it pretty clear. She is the one who object Mr. Roberto's proposal of me. Well, I do know that Mr. Roberto wanted to live with me. I know he had talked to Mrs. Romanna before. Maybe Mrs. Romanna accepted me for her son's sake, but until how far? Will she accept me, the no one's flower girl?

"Miss Lily, won't you eat?"

I look at her. Her face looks so worried. I just remember that she still holding my food and drink. I take them from her, reluctantly. I start to stir my soup slowly. I wonder about the content inside, and I can see them from the clear broth of my soup. Let's see what's in here, I guess.

Okay, I can see all of them right now.

There are some spinach, some macaroni, and some chicken slice. I can see some wiener there! She's really generous. As expected from someone so rich. I can see some scallops and some mount – watering oyster there. These stuffs make me so happy! She can be so different from what I think so far.

But as I stir my soup, I see some strange ingredient. I see an irregular carrots and some cherry tomato look-a-like in there. I know what those are. Those carrots are Mandrake, and those tomatoes are Belladona. They are poisonous plants that can cause hallucination and even death.

Wait, death? You're messing with wrong person, Mrs. Romanna.

I've built a strong immunity from these plants long ago. A lot of people try to poisoned me, but none of them success. I can even know which of those that are actually taste great. I never know how did this happen, but it really useful. What a waste, Mrs. Romanna. I almost think of you as a kind person.
