Chapter 2: The Flowers

The drive to where they have Elesis is so scenic. I know she would love it, but it torments me. The forest is so lush, and I can see a stream running through it. I get lost in the view today but then the memories take over. Tires screeching, glass shattering, things colliding I'm there again and everything is going by too fast and I see her red hair and...and..."Chung, Chung we're here," Raven snaps me back to the present," Hey let's go," and off we go.

I never go straight to her room though. I always have a nurse hand me the vase for the new flowers and water. This time I brought her 'Philippine Ground Orchids' or so the flower shop lady said. They are a light purple with a wonderful scent that reminded me of Elesis, and the pedals almost form a star. I thought it would be a nice soft shade against Elesis usual red style.

And then the usual routine starts. Rena will break the ice telling Elesis about something silly that had happened since the last time we were here, and Raven would talk about a new battle strategy he thought of. Aisha would sit near the foot of her bed doin homework, and when asked why she would say," I want Elesis to know that I'm still studying hard," which was a good enough answer. Eve would pipe of after Raven talking about new drone designs along with Add discussing his ideas as well, and both them agreeing they needed Elesis's expertise on weapons to decide whose idea was superior. Ara never talked much she just held Elesis's hand. If Rena was the kind compassionate big sister for Ara Elesis had been the tough cool one always pushing Ara to discover more with her techniques. Today though while I was standing in the hall waiting for alone time with Elesis I over heard Ara. She was crumbling. She wanted Elesis to help her again, she missed hr guidance, she begged for Elesis to return to them, for everyone needs her back. I couldn't do it I set the vase on the table and told Elsword he could go first today.

I walked off to courtyard of the facility and sat on a concrete bench off in the corner next to some roses no where as pretty as Elesis, no where near her red brilliance, not even close to how outstanding Elesis was, and...I let myself miss her. Let it consume me. I put my hands on my face, my elbows on my knees, and I let the tears streak down. She was a shining light. She understood how I felt alone. She was so like me, and I was so like her. My heart aches thinking about it. As I grab a hand on my chest in an attempt to feel less an old voice reaches my ears.

"You're awfully young to be here. Don't blame your self for the state the young lass is in she's strong willed. Just by looking at her anyone can tell she doesn't blame anyone, and that she'll be up soon enough."

"What are you-" I begin to ask then realize everyone must know Elesis here. How can you not notice a 17 year old where a bunch of elders are.

"You could talk to me about it. Why I'm old, but i got the ears of a bat. And I listen well too," and so I told the strange elder that Elesis was my gifriend, and that I knew it was my fault about what happened, that it was eating my alive... And all the feed back he gave me was," You're wrong". And for just then it was enough to make me want Elesis. I shook off my sorrow and shook their kind withered hand then went back to my love. Went back to my very own beautifully red rose.

-At the bottom corner of the page you can see tiny writing- "Elesis I love you. Return to me."

"School starts in two days Elesis, and yet you remain in this state," I was mumbling to Elesis during my alone time with her it was just Elsword and I for right then so I was in no rush. I sighed and stared at her. I first since may. I took her all in. The gentle rise fall of the blanket on her, the way her lips were slightly parted, how the sunlight still lit up her hair crimson, and then I stared at her face, and I couldn't... The searches had turned to scars. "This isn't right!" I shouted " I have no marks at all, yet look at you! Your face! Your arms your legs! Elesis what have I done to you!?" I continued yelling breaking down and curling up in a chair as the darkness loomed over me. It only tormented me further.

"TRUST Chung! TRUST!" Elesis was yelling at me. "You danced with her almost more than me!" she yelled again.

"Chung leave the red head blondes are so much more fun," she said to me," No I love Elesis." I replied, but that wasn't the only memory haunting me. So many memories came back. It was like I saw them for how Elesis must have seen them. All these girls insisting on me leaving Elesis...I stayed like that for a while with the darkness only getti darker. Then it became unbearable as I relived the memories of that day in May. It was so sunny so pretty, and yet there was so much blood. So much blood, and it was Elesis's. She...She was being pinned by the other car, and I hear the screams, I hear Elesis's faint moans as she clings to consciousness and I see it. I see it all as clear as it was 3 months ago. And it haunts, then I feel it. Feel Elesis's warm hand on mine, and Im awake. In her room with her asleep. Her hand had drifted off the side again. I had never given muc thought to sleeping beauty, but right then I knew the ache Prince Phillip must have felt for Auora. The loneliness that must've tried to consume him. "I'm sorry Prince Phillip I'm not you. I can't fight a dragon and wake Elesis up. There is nothing I can fight because I can not fight time and make it release Elesis from her state. I am powerless"...
