Wilting Flowers [bxb] [ON HOLD]

Chapter 2: Mary had a little lamb

Mary watched as the creature turn around to look at the bowing women dressed in black cloaks. The creature released a crack as its mouth opened.

"Young females of the youth. Why have thou summoned me?" It asked and it's empty black sockets looked back at Mary's soft green eyes. Why did it choose her to look at when the other females were clearly of more importance?

"We need protection in life mother. The trials have been going on and we fear for our lives. We ask that-" Janice was interrupted by the cracking of a arm as it picked up her.

"Vile creature. You've broken the rules of womanhood. You've marketed your body to a male." It spoke in a menacing tone before with a quick movement, it snapped her neck painlessly. Janice went limp in the grip of the being. The creature dropped Janice carelessly onto the ground, her body sinking into the ground.

The other members watched in horror, shaking. Mary was sure the other girls were crying but she wasn't. Crying was a sign of weakness and she was by no means a weak woman. Mary suddenly felt herself flying back to hit a tree roughly , a low branch gently impaling her right arm. She was in pain but she didn't let it show. It could smell suffering and fear and that was weak. It would crush anything that was weak.

  Mary heard the scream of the other females as they ran away but got caught and ended up dead. Mary breathed heavily and held her breath, the being crouching down to her level "Wise one. " it creaked and grabbed her arm, yanking the stick out and suddenly she felt the wound seal up.

  Mary wondered what kind of black magic that was. She stood up and looked directly up at the being "What do I call you?" She asked "The birch." The being said and Mary nodded before turning around and walking home. She knew she would ever be followed by this thing.

Luka was in bed , laying there as he tossed and turned in thought. His mind drifted to one of the cutest boys in school- Aiden. Aiden was a dreamy football player who was confirmed to be bisexual. At least by Luka- he saw him going down on some guy in the stalls. Granted he got his ass kicked for it but still. Aiden was bi- it meant he had some fraction of a grain of a chance with him. Luka wasn't popular at all by any means- quite the opposite actually.

  He hung out with the loud and obnoxious kids but they were classified as nerds. Who knew a little D&D would classify someone as a giant loser? Anyways, he was laying there until he sat up and swung his legs over to the side of the bed- he slept on a mattress on the floor. It was a personal preference.

Luka sighed softly and went to fix himself something to eat.
