Flower from a Stranger

Willow awoke in the morning to the blaring alarm of an old clock. It was a miracle the thing still worked after all it went through, she thought the same for herself as well. Willing herself from the deep comforts of sleep Willow gently pushed the off button and trudged to her pile of boxes. Opening the closest box to her, she pulled out an outfit identical to the others. Willow changing quickly and pulling a majority of her hair into what others found a complex hair style. Picking up a jar of cover-up at the very end. It was the only cosmetic she wore and rarely used unless for occasions like this. Taking a glop of the pale liquid she smeared it under her right eye. The liquid perfectly concealed the nasty bruise on her check bone. Satisfied with the results Willow picked up her bag and continued into the hallway.

Willow stopped between her father's and brother's rooms and looked at their doors. She shook remembering the monsters behind them and wished them away. Their cruelty towards her seemed unbearable most of the time. It appeared unreal she had lasted this long. With all the insults and abuse, the begging and scrounging she did for the little cash she could find to pay for her everyday needs and sometimes pleasures.

She persisting on her trip to the kitchen she tip-toed lightly across the warm ceramic tile. The kitchen stacked with cardboard packages was a hard task to tackle. Finally finding the utensils she needed she began on breakfast. Starting by shoving a piece of bread into the Black and Decker toaster, her hands drifted the eggs and meat aligned on the counter. Willow's movements in cooking would have looked artistic if she had been doing so for a different purpose. The pork and yolks fried harmonically in their pans and her thoughts wondered.

'This town isn't very diverse from the rest," her thoughts concluded, 'all rush onto the next thing and don't concentrate on what is in front of them.'

The smell of cooked bacon brought Willow back to her senses. Gracefully setting out the food she heard a stirring from down the hall. Eyes as wide as saucers she hurried with the rations. If it wasn't meat that her family could smell from a mile away it certainly was fear. Kitchen clean and done she gripped her toast and sat to eat it. Turning away from her brother's dish so it didn't tempt her Willow concentrated on her burned portion and finished in time longer than it took to eat a minuscule grocery.

She put in her earphones and silently walked down the corridor to a grungy foyer. Opening a horrendously painted door out to the outer world she came across something not normally on people's doorsteps.

A profoundly scarlet rose was draped across her doormat. Bending faintly to pick up the magnificent plant Willow examined it and then held it to her nose. The rich fragrance of it was laced with something else. But its scent left her tongue-tied. Willow's sight finally leaving the rose she stood up to look around for the mysterious person who left this on her doorstep. Her search came up empty handed and holding the elegant flower at fingertips she walked to school with a gentle sway in her hips.

…………

Kai watched Willow look desperately for someone while she was standing on the doorstep. He just smiled and shook his head. He was also as anxious as she was to get to know the other but he didn't want to be hasty with things. Who do you he is? Tyson? Definitely not.
