Kore blinked several times before registering the field of flowers that she was laying in. Sighing softly, the tears began to dry under the bright rays of Helios' embrace.
Kore hated hearing her mother scream-shuddering at the thought-and wished her parents would just agree on something for once.
Being seventeen wasn't as easy as it seemed, at least for Kore. Flowers wrapped themselves around each other, reaching for a touch of the beauty.
Sitting up, Kore sobbed at the slight pain in her lower abdomen, the grass staining with a bright crimson. Out from the patch, stained by Kore's blood, came the familiar white bulbed flower from before.
Out of all the beautiful-and colorful-flora surrounding her, Kore was fascinated and curious only by the single pale flower that stood lonely from all others.
Pouting slightly at the thought, Kore crawled innocently over to the ethereal flower, which stood tall and regal compared to its companions.
Biting her bottom lip, Kore carefully grasped the lowest part of the flower's stem and gave a light tug. Before she knew it, the ground fell beneath her. Darkness consumed her.
