Chapter 1! The beginning…
"One, two, three…"
As soon as he heard Marco counting Alex started to run. He needed to find a hideout and quick! His brown eyes looked around the place.
Around him there was green grass. Its rainbow flowers filled the air with soft, honey-like smell. Each flower had different smell, color and story.
While the brown-skinned boy searched for hiding place, in the bushes the Quinn of flowers chose her hiding spot. The bushes that grow between the tall, mighty trees were hiding the beauty (you can call it inner beauty, if you want), which, when found, could brought great luck to the one, if he uses it right, of course.
Inside the bushes there were flowers. Simple, red, white and yellow roses were growing tall and proud. They had a smell of spring rain that was falling not long ago. His pure water still flooded in their rose cups. Because of pigment of the leaves, clear liquid was slightly colored.
The rose's story says that Venus or Aphrodite, the goddess of love, created her. With her power, rose was created to unite the separated hearts. She was the symbol of love.
Daisy was the flower of peace. Her white color was comforting loners, sad ones and the ones, that were lost. Her hiding spot was everywhere. No one noticed her most of the time. Like her symbol, she was everywhere and nowhere.
Other flowers had their hiding spot.
Yellow daffodils chose the place beside the lake, river or any other fresh water, as a memory of Narcis, the man, who died many years ago, while being desperately in love with no other than himself.
He was cursed by the nymph, who loved him, but he didn't return her his love. In anger she cursed him, saying that he will die alone, but whit someone. Narcis wasn't aware of the curse and the moment he looked in the crystal blue lake and noticed his reflection, he couldn't stop looking at himself. He was there till death, alone but with someone.
Lily was usually the decorative one. She was noticed on almost all parties, there were. The flower of party! The fun one! She was found in many colors, as the people changed them. Yellow, the most common, red, orange, even blue, and purple. There were also other flowers, but that's for another time.
On the ground the fertile soil was giving warm, comforting mix of minerals, organic matters and liquids.
Alex's wasn't giving any attention to the hidden daisies or the warm earth. Instead his long legs bounced as rabbits through the soft grass. His eyes were looking more and more nervous.
"…four, five…"He knew, where to hide, but Marco will stop counting at ten. Alex didn't know if he's going to make it in that time. He continued to run as fast as he could.
"…six, seven..." Alex didn't believe his eyes. He almost did it! Hideout was just a couple of steps away! The big, old tree full of holes was just the right spot for his hiding place. But he needed to hurry.
The breathing has become faster. The tempo of Alex's run increased.
"…eight, nine, ten!" One more jump and Alex was safe. He looked around the place. In the safe holes, the tree had a real miniature labyrinth.
His massive roots, which were boasting on the outside, were getting thinner and more complex in the ground. When they revealed themselves inside the empty tree, they were swirling one around another. Together and trough many years, the members formed giant and rock solid structure. In the tree those tiny veins became strong walls.
Alex didn't have the time to observe all this beauty. He was just evaluated the position, he ran into. He was breathing deeply, but if he wanted to have a good hideout, he needed to calm down.
The hollow tree was a good and comfortable hiding place. The only mistake was its emptiness and the position of the walls. Every slightest murmur in the tree rose, till could be heard with a clear ear.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Marco started to search for him. He was getting more and more close to Alex's hiding tree. Alex couldn't stop the heavy breathing, whatever he did. He needed a plan and quick. Marcos abilities were hard to seduce. Also he didn't wash in a while. That was bad!
At last he chose for a drastic decision, which popped out in his brains...
How's my first chapter? Hope you like it! More is coming up!
