Falling Flowers

The White and Black Roses

Talulah's POV
Today is the first day of the week of selection and the first flower has fallen. Each flower represents a trait that once of the two selected posses. But Tululah has a suspicion that this year will be a little different. The white rose stands for purity. But the enormous flower bush in the center of the capital looks like its going to lose another by noon, which never happens.
"Kitchi!" I hear my youngest, Autumn, yell. She comes running in.
"Whats wrong?" I ask.
"Dagger's kissing the neighbor again!" Autumn whines disgusted.
"Go tell him that I wish to speak to him and the other boy. Right now flower!" I say sternly. She nods then quickly walks off.
Moments later the two boys walk in. I'm tapping my foot with my face in my hands.
"Kitchi, I-" Dagger starts but I cut him off looking up, stopping my foot, and sighing.
"Dagger there is no need to apologize. I'm okay with this. Flower," I turn to the other boy, "What's your name?" I ask.
"Keeper." He says blushing slightly.
"Talulah!!!" I hear as the front door opens and closes.
"Axle? is that you? Your home early!" I say leaving the two flowers to go into the front hallway, where I find my Bookey.
"Ax what's wrong you look really worried?" I ask concerned.
"Two more roses fell off since the first this morning. They are black, you know what that means right?" Ax replies.
I take his arm and pull him back outside.
"But that's impossible we haven't had any contact with the other kin realms for years." I say.
"I know but the black rose is symbolic of death, coldness and loneliness. These are the main characteristics for The Winter Realms. This probably mean that there is going to more than two selected this year. Possibly one from hear of each of the kin Realms." Ax says.
"Well I hope that it's none of our children." I say looking really worried.
"Who were you talking to when I go home." Axle asks.
"Dagger and his boo." I reply.
"Is that the neighbor's flower?," He says and I nod my head before he continues, "What's the flowers name?"
"Keeper." I say with a smile. Ax laughs.
"Well I have to get back to work. I'll be home for dinner. Oh and tell keeper that he's welcome to stay for dinner." Ax say before kissing my on the cheek and turning and walking down the path.
I watch his disappear before going back into the house. I peek my head into the lounge room and see Dagger and Keeper playing a game of choch.
"Keeper, my Bookey and I want you to know that you are welcome to stay for dinner." I say smiling at the now blushing flower.
I then go into the scullery and start on the roast for tonight.
