I never realized how tiring it is to walk in heels or how uncomfortable. "You okay?" Zack asked me as he see me fumble with my shoes. "I don't think I was made for heels" He laughed softly at me, "We're almost there...Do you want me to carry you?" He asked, looking back at me, waiting for an answer. I finally come to realize he has carried me a lot, yesterday from the shop, the day I first meet him, and now. I hopped onto his back, wrapping my arms around him. "Thank you" He nodded in response. I laid my head on his shoulder as the path we came on became flourishing with grass and flowers. "Here we are" He let me down slowly. "The blue garden" I looked up at the sky, here in the blue garden the sky was different. It was dark but not to the point you couldn't see anything it was just perfect and you could see the skies split and then blend back into each other. I took off my heels walking onto the soft grass, this feeling took me back.
I'm running in a field, I can hear footsteps behind me. I tried to run faster but he got me. I giggled, I miss it when my dad held me. I get it, I was a kid but why, why can't I be your little girl forever? I want to go back to that field, I want to watch the stars with you. Why was that the day I stopped being your little girl?
I feel a hand rub my face, right below my eye. "This place makes you sad," Zack told me and that's when I feel the tear that rolled down. He removed his hand after he wiped my eyes away. "Why do we have to come this way, isn't there another way?"
"Another way? Do you not like the Queen's garden?" A monotone voice came from behind us. There behind us was a girl dressed in blue. Blue hair, blue eyes, and a blue and black outfit. "No, that's not what she meant" Zack spoke for me. "Then what?" The girl asked. "It's just sad here"
"Well of course, this here is the garden of tears, it's the only place the Queen will be sad" The girl still didn't show any emotions. "I am Imp knight Rain" She walked passed us and touched one of the dark blue crystals that poked from the ground. I watched the whole place come alive. The crystals were used as a light source here and that's when a saw the light blue almost neon glow. "These flowers hold memories, talk them, and they'll talk back," Rain told us walking away and sitting at the front of the path. Zack and I walked down the path, I stood close to him not hitting any of the flowers but he on the other hand wanted to know. "There," He point to an area of the garden that was gated off with those same vines. "Those ones in there are the flowers of the Queen," He told me. "No one can go in there but the Queen" His voice started to become muted to me as I walked to the gate and as i got closer the vines began to melt. Inside the area, you could hear one of the flowers call my name.
"Guillermina" It's my mother's voice. She's screaming and crying for me. "I'm sorry" She cries out. Now I'm standing back in that dream, back in the kitchen. I see red, I see the girl with blonde hair and that's when I felt the arms around me. "We're free" I girl whispered into my ear. "We're safe, Mina, we're finally safe" She hugged me tightly, and I felt as if I'll puke if I hear her one more time. "Shut up…SHUT UP!" I scream, grabbing at the flower, and ripping it. "Shut up!" I don't know what this means, who is she?
"SHUT UP!"
"Mina! Calm down" Zack come in after me. Coming up behind me, wrapping his arms around me. "Shut up!" I broke and I don't understand why. "Shut…up" I spoke through sobs as I went limp. He held me close and let me cry. "You're okay" He whispered into my ear. There he goes again telling me lies.
