My Little Flower

Leaving The Pack

For the last few days I have been getting Gracie, George's twin sister, up to date with what I do. Gracie is just like her brother with the hazel eyes and always changing hair color. She had chopped her hair off after her mate died. He had died trying to save me form Angelica when I was a child. Gracie never blamed me for it, even though I thought she should. She had twin boys that where ten years older than me. The twins, Elijah and Eric had no problem blaming me, even though they got into trouble for picking on me. Till one day when I was thirteen, the boys had made their usual comments towards me. For some reason that day I had the courage to talk back. Well the twins didn't like that and thought I should learn my place. Gracie had come stormed in hearing me cry out as they broke three of my ribs. I never asked Gracie what she said to the boys that day, all I know is for a while the boys wouldn't look at me and kept a wide distance from me.

"Earth to Wildflower, are you here or in the stars?" Gracie was waving her hand in front of my face. "Sorry, I'm back." I say. Gracie stared at me for a moment, "What were you thinking that put such a sour look on your face?"

"It's nothing."

"Tell me the truth, it clearly wasn't nothing." She said putting her hands on her hips.

"I was thinking about the time you found the twins beating me up." I say softly.

A sad look forms on her face, "Why were you thinking of that?" All of a sudden her face turns angry and she yelled. "Have they started messing with you? I swear to the goddess I clearly didn't make my point the last time." She started to storm away when I grabbed her. Shaking my head, "It's not like that. I was wondering what you told them that day, ever since they have been different with me."

Sighing she looked at me, "I told them what my mate told me when he first layed eyes on you."

Looking at her confused she just laughed. "When my mate first saw you he had a vision. He said he saw what you could be, if loved correctly. That you can be our salvation or our destruction."

"What does that mean?"

Shaking her head, "If we can't give you the love you need in this life time we will all loose. That was all he said for I myself had asked the same question as you. You know how seers are very cryptic."

"He said this life time that means I have already had at least one life.", mumbling to myself.

"I never thought about that, I guess it would mean you have to of had one." Gracie was thinking a loud again, I thought to myself.

"I'm sorry you don't have him here anymore because of me."

"Oh no you don't, don't go there he was mad at himself that he couldn't save you but he made sure to give us the most important clue to find you. We were the ones that failed you not the other way, do you understand?"

Tears in both of our eyes so much pain hidden behind a smile, that was what Gracie and I have in common. We know how to hide the pain so well.

"He will come back to you one day just different." I said. I have always said things that popped into my head but some how I know to be true.

A happy teary-eyed smile Gracie says, "He always thought that you had seer powers, he said instead of an image coming it was words instead. I think he was right that you are a gift that we should cherish, if only we could love like you." She starts walking to the pack house.

The second time in the last few minutes I am confused by what she said. "Who's being cryptic now?" Calling out to her as she leaves.

She just laughs as she walks away. Red comes walking from the direction Gracie just head off to. "Hey Wildflower how are you holding up?"

"Tired to be honest. I can guess how people will treat me when we go to the capital. I just want the truth even if I don't like it I want the truth."

"Look Wild, I don't want to keep things from you, no one does. The secrets some of us have kept from you was ment to keep you safe. Like keeping the secret of your birth was ment to keep you safe. There will be more people who will try to hurt you, when they find out that you're Mavis Moon's granddaughter. Just know I am here for you, you are not alone. Remember that when you are having a hard time."

"Okay, I'll remember. Can you tell me why I have to wear so many restrictions?", I ask while playing with one of my new bracelets.

"Your restrictions are to smother your smell. You smell like moon flowers, lots of them, if you don't wear them. For how almost everyone wants the moon flowers for their power, when you wear the restrictions it comes off subtly. It's other purposes is so others can't track you down or try to summon you. These restrictions are ment to make sure no outside forces can find you. It's those reasons that we have to keep adding new ones every few months."

"Are you two ready to go?" Josh says not to far from us. I hadn't even noticed him walking up on us.

Sighing I say, "As ready as I'll ever be. Lets get this show on the road."

"Well at least it will be a short trip to the capital since we will be traveling by travel circle." Red says swinging his arm around my shoulders. "Well let's hope it works for me." I comment back as we all head to where the travel circle is.
