Now you get to meet Dahlia! (:

Dahlia's POV

7 years later

I was sitting at my window staring out at the sky marveling at how pretty and blue it was when someone called my name.

"Dahlia! Hey!" I tore myself away from my daydream, which had something to do with me flying over the treetops, to look down and see who was disturbing me. It was Marcus, my extremely strange and insanely goofy boyfriend even though I wanted to be mad at him for tearing me away from my fantasy I just couldn't deny that I was happy to see him. I smiled at him and then pouted.

"You know it's very rude to ruin someone's daydreams." I said it jokingly and then laughed so that he would know that I was kidding, he smiled back up at me.

"Oh my apologies princess I didn't realize it was six o clock already." He had a point, for some reason every day at six o clock I had to let my mind wander, no matter where I am. I guess it was just my mind's way of keeping itself from exploding. I smiled and laughed.

"Apology accepted but now you owe me a kiss," I yelled down to him and he smiled.

"As you command my queen." He bowed down and waved his arms dramatically and I laughed again at his goofyness. He smiled back at me and then held his arms above his head. "Help me up." I laughed at his helplessness and closed my eyes and concentrated, I saw the ground part to make way for the tiny root pushing through it, I pushed harder and made the root grow thicker and longer and had it snake up the side of the house all the way up to my bedroom window. When I finally opened by eyes a huge thick vine had snaked its way up the side of the house. I smiled down to him and he smiled back at me and started to climb. When we finally got close even he pulled himself up and through my window.

"I believe I owe you this," he leaned forward and kissed my lightly on the lips. I never realized just how happy he made me until I became even happier. The most amazing thing about Marcus wasn't his amazing personality or his gorgeous smile it was the fact that he didn't think I was a freak just because I could make things grow. He thought my power was amazing and beautiful, the same words that he used to describe me all the time. He accepted me and that was something that I didn't think could ever happen with a boy because of my power. "Have I ever told you that I think you are amazing, and not just because you can create a whole forest if you want." There's that gorgeous smile again.

"Yes you have on more than one occasion; it never gets old by the way." I loved teasing him and he loved being teased, well sometimes.

"So you wanted to talk to me about something princess." I laughed at that, I was definitely not a princess. I took a deep breath and he turned to look at me with a worried expression. "What's wrong?" He came over to sit next to me so that his face was again inches from mine.

"I need you to help me with something." He took my hands in his and kissed them and I smiled despite myself.

"Anything." I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes.

"I need you to help me find my birth mother." At first he looked confused and then the gravity of what I was asking sunk in.

"Did you ask your mom about her?" I nodded.

"Yes and she lied to me, she said she didn't know anything about her but when I did some snooping I found this." I took the manila folder from under my pillow and handed it to him. He took it without hesitation and started to look through it. I saw his eyes widen when he saw how much information he was holding.

"So her name is Azalea Wade?" I nodded and smiled. "Wow, I can't believe your mom has all this stuff on her and wouldn't tell you." I refused to think of my mother as a liar or someone that would keep something this important from me but I couldn't help it.

"Do you think we'll be able to find her." He nodded.

"Definitely, when did you find all of this stuff?" I shrugged

"I don't know a few months ago I think." He nodded and then closed the folder.

"So when should we leave?" I looked up at him and smiled. I should have known that he wasn't going to let me do this all by myself. He looked up at me worried and I already knew what he was thinking without having to ask. "Look I know that this might be wrong going behind my parents back but I have to know about her. I have to know why I can do these things, why I can make things grow. And she is the only person that can tell me."

"As soon as possible." With that, he stood up and positioned himself to climb back out of the window.

"Ok I'll go home now and see what I can find and I'll call you later." I nodded and gave him a quick kiss before he climbed back down the vine and ran in the direction of his house. I stared out of the window after him for I don't know how long until I heard a voice behind me.

"Dahlia," I jumped and spun around to face my mother. She was a beauty queen even in her late thirties. Once that kind of behavior is taught it doesn't go away. She has beautiful high cheekbones, striking blue eyes, jet black hair and legs that go on for miles.

"Mom I didn't hear you come in." She smiled and took two steps closer to me.

"Apparently, you obviously didn't hear your phone ring fifteen times either," she picked it up and handed it to me. I checked my missed calls. Marcus had called me fifteen times. I didn't hear it ring at all, I had been sitting her watching the outside of my window for three hours. "What's going on?"

"Nothing mom I was just distracted," I smiled to reassure her and she smiled back.

"Ok well dinner will be ready soon," she turned around and walked out of my room closing the door behind her. I breathed a sigh of relief and then dialed Marcus' number, I heard him pick up.

"Dahlia?"

"Yeah it's me."

"Jesus where have you been I've been calling for hours."

"I don't know I think I went into lala land."

"Well I think I found her, we can leave tonight." Tonight, was I ready to find out this soon?

"Ok where should I meet you?"

"Outside the elementary school, I'm coming to get you now."

"Ok." I hung up and grabbed the bag that I had already packed for this situation. I took out the note that I wrote for my mom and put it on my desk for her to find. I took one last look at my room and then, using the same vine I made for Marcus, climbed out of the room and ran down the street.

Like it? Then review (: lol
