Flora's Secret

flowery nightmares and scenarios

13: flowery nightmares and scenarios

"Clover, do you know what you did?" She just shrugged, she couldn't care less about what happened that night. When Kleo found out, he stromed into her room—— something a scene she doesn't really like. "He's suspecting that you're Flora." He said, with the tone of obvious worry. "You know how he easily catches on, Clo. He might think that you're Flora."

"Am I not?"

With an exasperated sigh of defeat, he sunk on the large bean bag beside her bed. "Are you even thinking this through?" He asked, voice now laced with worry. She knew he was just a bit overreacting, but deep inside she knew that Lincoln isn't dumb either. But that ruins the fun, does it? She thought. She's had the whole scheme of making him more frustrated than ever just to get away from this. Now, now, I need a little game. But it involves him. I need him to help me figure out something. "If they catch you, petal-handed, you're done for."

"Bro, chill. I just need something from him. It's this small fact that I need to finalize, before I make another step."

"And that is?"

"History." Kleo just looked at her as she had stopped sketching. "You see, I feel like she's making a move now. And I can't let her have him for her disposal." She cringed. She knew how her brother would react and she's expecting it already. "He seems to be connected to my plants. And I need to know why."

"In what way is he connected?"

"A seed, is growing inside him. And it might be the death of him, for all I know. And if you want your friend to live, you take him to our side."

"And hos is that even helping?"

"When I said Lilac would use him to her disposal can also mean, toying with his life." She paused, her heart ached remembering the friends she's kept close to her fade away with her very eyes. It wasn't s nice sight. "You might not wanna lose a friend, do you?" She asked, taunting him. I'm afraid he won't be the only one who'll feel miserable for an honorable detective's death.

"How are we going to do it?"

"We send out hints, immediately. Leads that'll take him to her, saying that she's the Flora."

She's decided. It'll hard for her to wash hands using her sister, but it's the only way to rid of her sister. Lilac had been evil after what she did and she won't blame her. Lilac wanted to be Flora—— she didn't, Lilac doesn't know what it takes to being the Flora aside from the ability it bestows. She had it as well—— just like mine, just different. Her magic uses earth as a medium, while Clover gets anything liquid with her petals—— that's why she's cleaner on the scene.

"Ugh. This is annoying." Clover went out with Lincoln that afternoon for tea. The weather was starting to get cold but she ordered iced milk tea nonetheless. Lincoln had teased her already, saying she's too hot. And of course, a small tint of carmine but didn't let it show.

She's feeling the tinglies in the belly and she's so-not-pleased. She wants him to herself— she wants to orotect him. She's been very denial about it but she knew that she's always had a soft spot for the boy she's turned down countless times already. Good thing I used my strawberry-mint scented shampoo—— ugh. Why do I care anout how I'd smell? Her brows knitted when she saw the streak of doubt in his eyes. Shit, this is not good.

That evening, he walked her home. They were talking casually— something they've never done before. And she felt at ease with his company. I've never felt so normal in my life. She felt secure in his presence and the fear of him knowing her identity is scaring her along with the different scenarios of how he'll be coping up with it turn out.

Hello,

These days, I'm feeling the wonder. Meaning, I might update Do You Wonder more often. Or possibly, the updates her might be a bit compa

And as soon as this might be read, I think of updating Luna's Diary or The Ringing World. Those stories seem to ring my heart for now and I'll still have to get myself back on track with He's A Mess, to make it seem— realistic. I haven't done my research that much yet (nor am I working on my term paper and character designs) since I'm too busy procastinating.

But most of all, stay safe.

Yours truly,
moonroeluna🌙
