Blood Blooms

"wow" she gasped at the majestic view of red buds far stretched to infinity. ALL red as far as the eyes travel like deep stain of Blood. Fresh blood straight out of the arteries flowing like a river in the meadow as the wind blow eastward.
'You liked it' he asked. HE who? nobody knows. Not even the little girl amusing over the sight. The girl who has been accompanying him for a long time. How long? WHO KNOWS? Time flows differently here. Where? In The Land Of The Lost.
She hummed in response.
'Well it will look more breathtaking when the Buds will bloom. You wanna see?'
'No' she mumbled.
Astonished he asked, 'Why, though?' taking the little girl in his strong arms.
'Once they will bloom . I'll have to leave' she said avoiding his eyes.
' So what's wrong in that?'
She jumped down. Eyes filled with water. How could he just say like that? Was her presence that much bothersome. She was angry no she was furious.
He just smiled and knelt down taking the girl in his embrace. Calming his princess, his life, his everything, his only family. She slowly looked in his eyes. A beautiful pair of green crystal. How many things she wanted to ask him, only she knows. but again she couldn't. Whenever she looked in those green orbs she would be lost.
'I know you're scared princess. You are supposed to be. But you can't stay here forever. Your family is waiting for you. They love you. Your mother loves you. You have to return for her.'
'Then what about you? They are my family but so are you. I don't want to leave you.'
'Me. I am just a wanderer. I have waited for you for a long time. I can wait for more......' he said when the wind turned its direction back. ' It's time already..' he chuckled bitterly.
The wind fastened its pace turning into a storm. The little girl stumbled and fall on his knees. a deep cut on her right arm and blood dripped down seeping into the soil travelling to the roots of the buds. The last step. And they all bloomed. The BLOOD BLOOMS bloomed.
