Unexpected Bliss

Big Sis, The Deadly Rose

Rosetta POV

I looked around us, noticing the people around us were afraid. "Please leave. No one needs to die today." I told my old friend Jonathan.

"To late for that Rose. You know damn well that if you don't kill me, more will die." He yelled back, holding his ribs, which I'm guessing are cracked. His voice may have sounded cold and scary to others, but growing up with him. I know that there is both fear and sadness in his voice. He want's to die, not hurt anyone. He want's to be reunited with his long dead love. And by the look in his eyes, he want's it to be us who kill him. His friends, the people who he trusts with everything that went on in his head.

I looked to Rick with sad eyes, and he returned the look. For he knows what Jonathan wanted. I then took his shaking hand in my own. I held back the tears, and looked at Jonathan. Faking anger on my face. "As you wish." I raised my free hand into the air and Rick whipped his hand down. As vines wrapped around my arm quickly forming pedal blade in my hand, Rick's hand became a razor sharp claw. Then, as if rehearsed we clashed into Jonathan. Slashing, clawing, punching, kicking, anything to make the fight look real. Then when we caused enough damage to each other, I made the rose on my hip spew out a sharp vine, right through Jonathan's chest. And as he collapsed into Rick's arms, I noticed that at some point, tears had begun to run down my face. Along with Rick's as we greaved over our now dead friend.

I then took the deepest breath I could, and roses bloomed everywhere. Making everyone become frozen except Edward, his friend, and my mother. I noticed them looking around confused. I looked at them with my tear stained face, they jumped at my expretion. I must looked broken, then when Rick gently laid Jonathan down he took my hand once more and made me look at his eyes with the other.

"Innocents means forgetting what you saw. As we remember the pain of this day, you shall remain known to what the darkness hides." Me and Rick said at the same time, and as our lips touched. A golden pollen bursted out of the flowers, making all the damage vanish, and the memories of the people forget. Except me, Rick, my family, and that strange red head. Then as if on cue, me and Rick returned to our normal forms, and Jonathan had bursted into a small crystal shaped like a bulls head. I gently picked it up and rick caught the crystal that flew from him and into the sky. It was shaped like a dove and was pure white. The sign of his love.

We placed our weapons back into the bag and handed the crystals to Edward. Who was afraid to touch them. "What the hell is going on?!?!" he asked.

"I'll tell you when we get home. But hold these, we need to head back to our spots before everyone starts moving again." I told him. And like that, he just stayed quite but looked at his friend.

"If you are who I think you are little red head. Then you better keep Edward safe, like the roses tell me." I thought to myself. Walking back into the dressing room with a stunned mother following close behind.
