The sound of their footsteps filled the air and Anastia all quietly walked behind him as she didn't have anywhere to go.
Finally, the silence broke when the boy asked,
"So, do you like flowers?"Anastia snapped out of her thoughts and replied,Yes!
He smiled with his eyebrows arched up"Great! as we are near a place where I find myself often enjoying the scent of flowers .It's quite beautiful there.Anastia replied in gentle tone,"Sounds great."The boy continued talking as they walked:
"You know,White roses are beautiful in their own way. "
They symbolize innocence and purity but that innocence can easily be stolen .Just like you, now that Pope had left you alone. You must be careful. from now on"She couldn't disagree as it was the truth.Her purity can be easily taken away by lone wolfs.She is just like a flower so eternal yet sensitive at same time..Finally they reached there and the boy pointed at the location ,
"Here we are!."
Anastia looked up and was left speechless.She couldn't even utter words properly because the location was so beautiful.just like a dream come true.She slowly went near to get a better view.There were flowers of all colors with butterflies wandering.The clouds felt so mystic and beautiful .It was hard for her to digest.But her eyes went on a particular flower.The flower was pink in colour and looked just like a lotus but she didn't know how to put it in words.The boy noticed her expression and approached her,He rubbed her back and said:
"It's pink rose Anastia. "
She smiled with pain,"I see..You know this flower is just like my heart .Too fragile,Too broken..."Her words carried sorrow and her behaviour showed it clearly.The boy didn't know what to say so he just came near and whispered:"The moon saw the heartBut,not the people.The world was blind,Even her.
And the heart went silent."
He knelt down, picked a flower, and carefully placed it in her hair."Be strong, Anastia :)"His words were encouraging .She smiled hiding her pain behind it :"You are right."The boy did notice that her smile was fake but he said nothing.After that incident they continued to walk miles and finally they came across a path which was covered by unusual fog.Anastia eyebrows went up by confusion.But as she tried to ask,The boy quickly spoke:
"We are here.Be ready now, You will pass the blur line between memories and reality from now here.Your thoughts shall guide you..."
He came near and spoke,My part of the work is done.I seeked my purpose given to me.And now I shall become nothing."Hegave her head a pat.There were unspoken emotions in his eyes.He just whispered,"You're just like my past self — someone who died seeking answers… and became a spirit guiding souls who needed something to hold on to."Her cheeks became pink by the proximity of his closeness before she could get in her senses .The boy pushed her in the fog.Anastia lost her balance and fell into the fog and soon the shadow of the boy disappeared.
Her vision went blur and she landed on the ground.She beared the pain and looked up but to her suprise the fog was gone and the boy was nowhere to be foundShe was left all alone in confusion.Everything that was happening was quite paranormal She questioned,"What did he mean :"You will pass the blur line between memories and reality from now on.?
Was that a portal to something she wondered,But despite all this there was someone inside her who wanted to get depth of it .So instead of running away she decided to continue.
Why?,Because:
"Those who tried to seek answers were called dumb by those who didn't hold the courage."
She took a deep breath preparing herself for what this path hold.At end, she stood up and continued to walkSoon a sign became visible,Guess what did it say?.."It's dangerous ahead but not for those who had an underlying monster starved inside them :)."
