Umm...here's chapter two...
Chapter 2
Darkness in the Shadows
"W-Who could have done this?" Sakura asked as she looked at the theater that had been wrecked.
"Hmm...I can't tell it looks like claw marks..." Kohran said as she examined the shredded curtains.
"This is horrible." Orihime said.
"What happened?!" Ogahmi asked looking at the stage.
"Thats what were trying to figure out." Kanna said.
"We have a show in one week we have to clean this up!" Maria said.
Everyone agreed and started immediately.
During the day Iris felt a chill as though someone or something was watching her.
"Iris?" Reni asked.
"Hmm..oh yes Reni?" Iris asked realizing Reni had spoken o her.
"Is something the matter?" Reni asked in her calm voice.
"N-no nothings wrong!" Iris said with a smile.
"Alright..." Reni said.
Everyone seemed unaware though that something was watchinf them.
Above the stage...in the shadows....
"My it seems the young flower is the only one aware...maybe its time to have a little fun...what do you think my little one?" The voice asked to a little demon that sat on its masters shoulder.
The small demon gave a shriek of delight.
"What was that?" Iris asked looking up.
"What was what Iris?" Orihime asked looking up from her work.
"I-I heard something up there!" Iris said her voice shaking.
"Probably some rats or something." Kanna said hammering the new boards on the stage.
"RATS!" Sumire shrieked, "Yuck how gross!"
Everyoen just looked at Sumire. Though the fought demons Sumire couldn't handle rats.
Iris was shaking. Ever sense she had seen something that night during the storm she had been afraid.
Commander Yoneda walked in with someone.
"Everyone I would like to introduce you to Lillian Kumori. As of today Lillian will be part of the Flower Division."
The girl smiled. She had dark purple hair her eyes looked to be a deep blue.
"Its nice to meet you all..." The girl said. Something about this girl gave everyone chills.
"Its nice to meet you." Sakura said.
Lillian smiled.
"It seems as though you haven't been having an easy time with your performances." Lillian said pointing at the stage.
"Oh...uh well you see..." Sakura started.
"I was only playing with you." Lillian said. "Would you like some help?"
"Yeah we could use all the help we can get!" Kanna said.
It was four days after that the theatre was soon repaired and looked brand new. The Flower Division celebrated the theatre recovery that night. Fresh flowers decorated the Imperial Theater and made everything look joyful.
"I can't believe we did it!" Kanna said.
"Yeah this is great!" Kohran said.
"Cheers!" Yoneda said.
"Cheers!" Everyone said raising the glass.
"It's a shame that Lillian can't perform in the play, though." Sakura said.
Lillian shook her head, "Its alright with me, I'm not that great of an actress anyway."
Everyone smiled.
Iris sat looking out the window. She couldn't get the image of the creature she had seen during the storm out of her mind.
"Something wrong?" Lillian asked as she handed Iris a glass of juice.
"I saw something out there once...I can't get it out of my head..." Iris said.
"You don't know what it was?" Lillian asked sipping her drink.
"It looked like a demon covered in blood..." Iris said with a shiver.
"Well if it was a demon and had hurt anyone it probably would have been in the news...right?" Lillian asked.
"You're probably right." Iris said looking at her glass.
Lillian took a flower from a vase.
"Its strange you know..."
"What?" Iris asked.
"Flowers..."
"Flowers?"
"Their so pretty and yet they don't live very long. Some are dangerous when the time is needed others just...die. Though they don't live very long they live a full life in only one year."
Lillian plucked the petals off the flower and than picked up a red rose.
"So pretty yet so dangerous..." Lillian said showing her hand to Iris. A drop of blood fell from her finger.
Lillian than got up and joined the others.
Iris thought for a moment about what Lillian said. She looked at the rose and gasped. The rose had wilted. It was black and shriveled as though it had been there for a long time.
The Next Day
"I can't believe tonight is the show!" Orihime said.
"Yes it came so quickly!" Sakura said as she changed.
It was late in the afternoon and everyone was preparing for the show. The sky had become cloudy again.
Iris looked outside.
"Iris, stop scaring yourself." Sumire said, "It's almost time for the show hurry and get ready."
"S-Sorry..." Iris said.
Somewhere
"It seems our little flowers are getting ready to perform. Well it looks like we finally get to have our fun...right little one?"
A shriek from the small demon seemed to make the air shake with fear.
"Get ready my little flowers the show is about to begin..."
to be continued...
