Death and nature mix well. It happens constantly throughout life. It's how time moves on. As I pushed the door open the smell of dead nature was present. An odd description, but that's how I'd describe it.
There was a huge greenhouse, the walls and ceiling made of glass. Some pieces were broken, no one bothering to fix it. Dead trees wrapped their way around the walls, letting in broken streams of sunlight. Oddly, some of the flowers weren't dead, but others didn't have the same luck.
"This must be the most beautiful room in the castle," I grinned as stepped inside, closing the door behind me.
I roamed around the rows of potted flowers and herbs, lightly touching the petals of the flowers who were still living.
Then one flower caught my eye. I quickly walked over the where it was planted in the ground, and crouched down to see.
"A red and gold dahlia... My favorite kind of flower," I remembered, admiring the flower. There were golden pebbles scattered around the flower, which only enhanced the gold in the flower.
I was tempted to pick it, but decided against the idea. I didn't want to kill the flower. Besides, it seemed like it was thriving on its own anyway.
I stood and looked away, noticing a tree that wasn't dead like the others. I walked over to it and examined it, seeing that it was a pear tree.
I gasped and quickly went to pick a pear. "How is anything living here?" I asked myself, taking a bite of the pear. "This is awesome!" I smiled, enjoying my finds.
It was all short lived though when I heard a door being shoved open. Acting quickly, I ducked behind a row of elevated potted plants.
Pairs of footsteps filled the greenhouse, and soon I heard another door open. I peered over where I hid, catching a glimpse of the Wardens, going into the room I just came from.
"Oh shit," I whispered when I thought it was safe to speak. "I've gotta get out of here."
I grabbed a few extra pears, and sneakily hid behind the plants again. I didn't know if they were going down into the dungeon to check on me, or in the next room to grab more medication. They have never checked on me before...
Either way I had to leave quickly and quietly.
I stealth walked my way over to the door they entered through, stuffing the pears into my pockets.
As I grabbed the handle to the door, I began to hear footsteps again. I quickly shoved the door open and started running.
Authors Notes ~ A short chapter, because I had this idea all day in my head while writing the last chapter. Nikki out Homie slices :)
