Part 32:
They both then exited the room, and as they left Rosero then just suddenly hugged Violet from behind. Violet then said, "Huh?", and she then looked back. She saw Rosero hugging her and asked, "What's wrong Rosero?", Rosero then said with a shaky voice, "I'm just...scary...that nightmare...it felt too real.", Violet then put a semi depressed face and said, "Well, if holding onto me helps, then go ahead. Hold me for as long as you like.", Violet then started to walk, but slowly so Rosero could walk with her while hugging her.
They eventually got to the main room, where Ultion and Hero where sitting. Hero then looked up and saw Violet standing there. Behind her was Rosero, hugging her mother from behind and shaking a bit.
Hero then put a concerned face and said, "You okay Rosero?", Ultion then looked up and said, "We heard you screaming in your sleep, and got kind of worried."
Rosero then looked over from behind Violet and said, "Yeah...im okay. Just a bit shaken...and hungry.", Rosero's stomach then growled quite a bit.
Violet then looked down at Rosero and said with a soft voice, "Go to the table and relax. I'll get you some food okay?", Rosero then looked up at her and said, "Okay mama.", she then slowly made her way over to the table.
Hero watched Rosero walk with some concern. Hero then thought, "I want to do something...but I cant...im sorry my daughter...i'm the reason you are like this. Sometimes, I wish you only possessed your mothers power...so you can live without any risk.", as Hero thought this, Ultion then suddenly said, "Whats up with Rosero? She does not seem like the little rose bush I saw before."
Hero then snapped out of it and said, "Huh? What?", and he then looked at Ultion. Hero then said with a semi blank expression, "Oh yeah...well, you see, she is not doing so well.", Ultion then put a semi concerned face and said, "Is that so? Why is that?", Hero then went wide eyed and said, "Well umm….", he then tried to think of some other excuse.
However, he was then saved when Violet suddenly said, "GUYS! Talking about it is not gonna make it better! Rosero is literally right here!", she then pointed at Rosero, who was now resting her head on the table, using her arms as cushions.
Ultion then said, "Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry Rosero, I didnt think about that.", Rosero then lifted her head up and said with a drowsy voice as she had a depressed look, "Its okay grandpa…", she then put her head back down. As she did, her stomach growled again, and Rosero actually winced a small bit and whimpered, as if it actually hurt her a bit.
Violet heard this and thought, "Damn...she must be extremely hungry if she is actually in pain from her stomach growling.", Violet then finally got a huge plate of food, and she put in front of Rosero.
Rosero smelled the food, and she then lifted her head up and looked at the plate. Rosero then went semi wide eyed, as she realized that Violet had made her favorite dish. Violet then smiled and said, "That's the face I wanted to see. Go ahead and eat as much as you like.", Rosero then looked at Violet and gave her a depressed smile as she said, "Thank you mom.", she then looked back and started to chow down on sesame chicken with a ton of white rice.
Hero then got up and said, "I'm going to the room, im feeling a bit tired.", he then started to make his way to his and Violet's room. Ultion then looked back at Rosero and said, "Hope you get better soon my little rose bush.", he then got up and walked over to Rosero and patted her on the head.
Ultion then looked at Violet and said, "I'll be off to bed as well. Tomorrow I have to prepare for work.", Violet then looked at Ultion and said, "Okay dad. Love you.", Ultion then went up to Violet and hugged her as he said, "Love you too my little star.", he then pulled away from the hug and started to make his way to the room he was given.
Violet then said with a playful face, "Wow...don't even thank me for the food, I see how it is.", Ultion then stopped and looked back and said with a nervous face, "Oh yeah...hehe...right.", he then spun around and cleared throat as he said, "I thank you for the cuisine you have supplied here today. It was quite good, and almost matched your mothers taste."
Violet then put a semi livid face and shouted, "ALMOST!?", Ultion then went wide eyed and said, "Okay! Heading to bed now, love you both!", and he then ran down the hall to another part of the house.
Violet then just shook her head and chuckled, and she then said with a smile, "Love you too dad.", she then looked back at Rosero, who was now about halfway finished. As she ate, she seemed to be chewing slow, and she had a semi thinking face, like something was on her mind.
Violet this and she then went up to Rosero and asked, "You okay my little rose?", Rosero then swallowed the food in her mouth, and she then said, "I just...can't get my mind off what had happened in my dream. It felt so real...it felt horrible."
Rosero then looked at Violet with a concerned look and said, "I was in the city...the same city I had seen before. I walked around and...when I did, I ran into these zombie like things. They looked like people, people who have been left to rot and burn. I just…", she then looked down and a small tear went down her face as she said, "I was helpless...and hurt. I would get terrible injuries, deep cuts from thin air. I was so scared...I didn't know what to think.", Violet didn't know what to say, she just looked at Rosero with a concerned face.
Rosero then looked at Violet and said, "Why is this happening to me? Is my brain punishing me for what I did? Is rage trying to mess with me? Why?", another tear went down her face right after she said all this.
Violet then looked at Rosero with a face of sorrow and said, "I don't know Rosero. Im sorry, I wish I could tell you the answer, but I don't know it. All I can do…", she then grabbed a chair and put it next to Rosero. Violet then sat down on the chair, and she then wrapped her arms around Rosero and said, "Is to comfort you, and give you all my love. As your mother Rosero, it's my job to be there for you, and to make sure you live out your life to the fullest."
Rosero then closed her eyes and let Violet hold her. Rosero then said, "Thank you mama...I love you.", Violet then smiled and said, "I love you too, my little rose.", Violet then let go of Rosero and patted her on the head as she said, "Now finish your food and head to bed. I know that it may be tough to sleep after that nightmare, but please try not to think about it.", Rosero then looked back at her food and said, "Okay…", and she began to eat again, this time a bit faster.
Violet then thought with a smile, "It's not the daughter I fully know, but it's good enough for me.", Violet stayed with Rosero until Rosero finished eating.
After about another 10 minutes, Rosero had finally finished eating, and she then looked at Violet and said, "Im done mo…", but she then suddenly burped. As she burped, she clasped her mouth shut with her hands, and she then said, "Sorry...excuse me please.."
Violet then laughed extremely hard and said, "Your excused Rosero. Go to your room and try to get some sleep, but you might want to wait a bit for the food to go down.", Rosero then got up and said, "Okay.", she then started to slowly make her way to her room.
Violet then got up and stretched a bit, and she then thought, "Hmm...I have to check something before I go to bed...but what was it?", she then looked down the hallway that lead to another part of the house, and she began to walk down it. As she walked, she would think about what it was she was forgetting.
Meanwhile, Rosero was now in front of her room. Rosero then grabbed the knob of her door, but as she did, her hands then sparked a small bit, and she pulled away while saying, "OW!", and she then looked at her hand.
Rosero did not see anything on her hand, so she then thought, "Okay...maybe the door just shocked me from metal…", she then looked back at the door and continued to think, "But that kind of electricity can't hurt me. How did it hurt?", she then looked at her hand again, and back at the door.
Rosero then thought, "Screw it.", and she then went to grab the knob again. This time however, she did not get shocked, and she turned the knob and opened the door easily. Rosero then said with a blank face, "Oh...okay then?", she then walked into her room, and closed the door behind her.
Rosero then looked back and said, "How am I going to sleep after seeing something like that...it's so odd.", Rosero then looked at her bed, and she then continued to say, "I'll just have to try I guess."
Rosero then took a step forward. However, as soon as she did, her eyes then flashed for a split second, and she could see an image in her eyes for that split second. Rosero then shouted, "Gagh!", and she then held onto her head.
Rosero then let go of her head and said, "What the hell was that?", she then looked at her hands with confusion. As she did, another flash happened in Rosero's eyes, and Rosero yelled, "Gagh!", again as she almost fell backwards. Rosero then took a few steps forward, but stopped when another flash came in her face.
Rosero started to pant, as more and more flashes came and went. Rosero then said with a concerned face, "What is ...happening...to me?", as she said that she felt a sharp pain in her arm.
Rosero winced a bit, and she almost fell over from it. Rosero then held onto her arm as she stood up semi straight, and she looked around her room. Rosero then said as she looked around, "What's going on? Who is doing this?", as she said that though, she then suddenly felt a massive pain in her leg.
Rosero yelled, "Gaagh!", as she fell onto the ground and held her leg a bit. Rosero then said with pain in her voice, "What is...this?...why is this happening?", as she said that though, she then suddenly heard a voice say, "Because im doing this to you…"
As Rosero heard the voice, she instantly went wide eyed and sat up and said, "Who's there? Who was that?!", she looked around the room in a panic as she tried to find the source of the voice.
As she panicked, she heard the voice say, "Foolish girl...im not in this room with you...I am inside you. Your mind...your body...your soul...I am apart of you...and you defy me.", Rosero then went wide eyed and said, "Are you...Rage?"
The voice then suddenly started to laugh like a maniac as it shouted, "YES! I AM! NOW FALL INTO MY INFLUENCE! LET THE HATRED FILL YOU!", as the voice shouted, a huge amount of pain was sent to her head, and Rosero then held her head and yelled, "STOP! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!", and she started to get up, but struggled to stay on her feet.
Rosero then fell onto the ground while holding her head, and she just said while in pain, "Get out of my head! Get out! Please!", she squirmed and shook in pain as the voice shouted, "YOU WILL FALL FOR MY INFLUENCE, AND YOU WILL BE MINE ROSERO!", as the voice shouted this, some electricity sparked off Rosero's body, and Rosero screamed, "GAAGH!", as she fell to the ground, and passed out from both pain and exhaustion.
