Chereads / Rise Of The Blood Flower / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

"Mr President, we're still looking for your daughter, we have frozen all her accounts, once she's out of money, she will run straight to you"His assistant said to him.

He sat down in his bedroom, about ten to twenty bodyguards standing inside with him.

The door slid open and a red hair of about twenty or so walked in.

"Hey Daddy"she said and sat beside him.

"Hello darling"he said to lily.

"Is it true what am hearing about Rosey? Is she actually missing?"Lily asked.

Mr Red gestured all the guards to exit the room.

They all complied and gave him the room.

"She's always been stubborn, but I am much more determined than her"Mr Red said.

"Anyways dad, am here to drop off these reports, the doctor said that I should give this to you"Lily said.

"Oh, did he?"Mr Red asked.

He took the reports from her, and she stood up to take her leave.

***********

Rosey discovered how much of a monstrous appetite Acker had.

"Slow down on the inventory"she said, but he wasn't stopping.

"Got anything else?"he asked, he had already reduced the food in her fridge by half.

"I guess being stuck in a flower really takes a toll on one's appetite"Rosey said.

"Um...Acker, tell me more about these evil forces"Rosey said.

"Why should I? It's visible you don't believe me"he said drinking chicken soup.

"I thought you're a blood flower!"Rosey said.

He parted from the food and faced her.

"Yes, I am"he said.

"How come you're eating meat then? Aren't you a vegan or something?"she asked, folding her arms across her chest.

"I don't eat anything that has any plant"he said, "the monks are vegans"he said.

"When are I getting my book back?"he asked, and emptied his plate.

"Once, my name is cleared"she said.

"That was not what we agreed"he said, sounding crossed.

"Acker, I can't go back unless I have a good reason to, and unless you have some proof that you are indeed a blood plant I can't let you leave"She said.

He stood up, and walked to the window.

"Are these people aware that you're supposed to be hidden?"he asked, she speedily went to check.

It was Tia and Kareem, they just pulled over.

"Hide!"she said.

"But why?"he asked.

"If they find you, they will take you and me and your book"she said.

He stood there looking perplexed.

"They are the evil ones"she finally added.

He ran inside, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

*Knock*

She cleared the living room, she hid the ropes and every sign of kidnapping.

"Do you think that she'll just open the door..."The opened door prevented Tia from scolding Kareem.

"Surprise seeing you two"Rosey said, holding the door, blocking their view.

"What do you think you're doing?"Kareem asked.

"Your father has placed a bounty on you"Tia said.

Rosey chuckled.

"What did he promise now?"she asked, vividly not surprised.

"Don't tell me you two want the money as well?"she asked.

"This isn't about money"Kareem said, trying to peep inside.

"It is for me, I don't know about him, you are harbouring a dangerous man you know nothing about"Rosey said.

"I don't know what you two are talking about"Rosey said.

"Don't try to fool me, I know you took the body and ran away"Kareem said.

"I did no such thing, I just thought to come over here and think to myself for some days, how did you two know I was here?"she asked, eyeing them.

"Your sister told us, once we paid her"Tia said.

Rosey looked sour.

"I am not with the man"she stressed.

"That would be a dumb thing to do anyways"she added, folding her arms.

Kareem then noticed the curtains move, "Rosey, let us take him with us, and we will act like this never happened, and we won't tell your father where you are"Kareem said.

"Fine, I'll go get him"she said, and went inside, "do we wait...."

"Let's give her some moments"Kareem said.

"Acker....Acker...."she said, but he was no where to be seen.

She searched around, but nothing, she opened her closet and noticed the book was gone.

"He's gone"she said under her breath, she ran out through the backdoor, and went after him.

She had become familiar with these woods, and hoped he hadn't gone too far.

Kareem and Tia grew impatient and let themselves inside.

"Don't touch anything!"Tia cautioned, Kareem kept his hands to himself.

"Rosey! Rosey!"he called out, yet no response.

His phone rang, he picked it up.

"Where is the president's daughter?"The voice asked over the phone.

"Sir! We are in her cabin now, she is no where to be seen"Kareem said.

"Is the discovery with her?"the voice asked.

"We did not see him, we are not sure if she actually stole the discovery"Kareem said.

"Get us any update"The voice said and ended the call.

"I think they went into the woods to hide"Tia said.

"We have to go after them, who knows what Rosey could be going through"Kareem said sounding worried.

"We can't, we are not familiar with these woods, we could get lost, let's wait for the police to come in"Tia said and placed a call to the police.

*************

Rosey ran some more without stopping earnestly trying to locate him and the book.

She stopped to rest and catch her breath, panting and using a tree for support.

She sat down and recuperated.

"Where could he have gone?"she thought, "he's lived in a plant for a while, he has no where to go"she thought.

Then it dawned on her.

She looked above her head to see him posing as a statue, his eyes closed.

"Acker!" she called out, he didn't break his concentration one bit.

"What are you doing?"she asked him.

Still nothing from him.

"Am coming up!"she said, and gripped the nearest branch she could hold, but she had no luck.

She attempted like eight more times, failing woefully, she could have sworn she heard him laugh at her.

She spent most of the day at the side of the tree.

"He doesn't wanna get down, I wonder what he could be thinking about?"Rosey thought.

Just then some police dogs caught her attention.

Her eyes widened, she could spot some dogs running towards her.

"We have to move!"she said agitated, she was petrified of dogs.

But he remained fixed, she ran her fingers through her hair.

She tried to climb again, knowing fully well that she could not outrun the dogs.

"At least help me!"she cried out, but he sat above her, his eyes clenched.

One pair of her shoes fell off, and two dogs ran to the tree she was attempting to climb.

"Acker!"she called out to, but he was adamant and kept silent.

"He has the book, my life means nothing to him now"She said in realization.

She could not hold her balance any longer, the dogs jumped and barked, their jaws nipping at her feet.

She lost her grip, and fell!

She held unto the branch, dangling, she looked above her, narrowing her vision to the unaffected man above her.

*Crack!*

The branch broke and she fell.

"Aaaaahh!" She yelled, and closed her eyes for the best outcome.

She landed on something, she opened her eyes, she was on a flower!

A giant flower!
