His Little FLOWER (Lucifer's Flower) ✓

Chapter 4

"what's the difference ?'
I asked him.
'Between the love of your life,
And your soulmate? '
'One is a choice,
And one is not.
He answered"

"Take me to her, Dad!" I mumbled again as a sob escaped from my mouth.

"To whom, Ella?"

"Rebecca!" I said quietly. I doubted if he heard me, but I knew he had when I felt him freeze. He made me look at him.

"Ella, what are you saying? Just tell me already what you saw," Dad asked, looking a bit frustrated after hearing her name.

"Dad, please!" He looked at me before nodding.

During the entire car ride, I didn't let go of Dad's hand. He didn't ask anything, knowing I wouldn't be able to answer. He squeezed my hand reassuringly.

I tried my best not to let the tears fall, but they did. An hour later, we reached her house at 2 in the morning. Dad rang the bell, and the ten minutes we waited felt like a day. She opened the door with messy hair, half-opened eyes, and an irritated look.

I would have felt guilty if I wasn't in this situation. When she saw me, her eyes widened. She must have thought we would never come here after everything Dad said.

I thought she was definitely going to kick us out, but instead, she hurriedly opened the door wide for us to come in. She guided us, and we quietly followed her. I know Dad never wanted to come, but he did because of me, which made me more determined. She took us to the same room where she had taken us before.

"Sit here, Ella!" I nodded and sat down. I must have looked like a zombie. My hair was a mess, my eyes were red and swollen from weeping, my cheeks were flushed from the cold, and my whole body was still shaking.

"What did you see, Ella?" I gave her a confused look. She knew something had happened, but I decided to tell her.

"I saw my Dad lying in a pool of blood, and I saw the same eyes." There was silence in the room, and only the ticking of the clock could be heard. Both Dad and Rebecca looked taken aback, especially Dad.

I knew the reason very well. It wasn't because I saw him lying in blood, but because this was the first time I saw something apart from those woods, blood, crown, and other things I used to see.

"Ella, tell me everything you saw, every single detail."

"I was sleeping peacefully in a deep slumber, then suddenly I saw Dad lying in some forest with blood coming out from his neck, and the same black eyes were staring at me." My voice was so low and cracked at the end.

I can lose anything; I'm ready to spend my whole life with this, but I just can't see something happening to my Dad. He is all I have. I have to be strong. I can't sit quietly and cry.

Rebecca nodded. "What else did you see? Try to think harder."

Then I remembered something unique. "Yeah, I remember I saw a stone, a green stone like a diamond, but green."

Rebecca looked at Dad and then started shaking her head, murmuring, "I knew something like this would happen." She walked to a small bookshelf near the window, which I noticed just now. She took out an old-fashioned book.

She came and sat beside me, searching for something in the book. When she found it, she placed the book on my lap. What I saw in the book shocked me.

"Is that the same green stone you saw in your dream?" I nodded. How is that possible? How can the same stone that appeared in my dream be in this book?
