A Field of 

Thorns

 

---

 

The flowers that had been only a tight bud days ago sprung open, already beginning to don a deeper blush of fuschia. From beneath the rain-washed earth, rose the gaily dancing flowers of summertime. A bundle of sprightly roses adorn the complexion of  a certain carmine and cherry hue - resembling that of an oozing sunset on a temperate summer's day. Each pristine petal embosomed around the rose bud, protective of its saccharine center. Fenika outstretched her fastidious fingers to connect with the lustrous carmine petals, a vibrant and ebullient grin etching itself upon her unique features. With orbs of tranquil river waters, in glossy serenity, her buoyant aura seeped into the summer breeze. A bounce transpired within her feet as locked ultramarine eyes landed upon the many beauties of nature. The butterfly, flower of the sky, danced by in a whirl of color. She was born to fly from her cocoon, to bring a beauty so delicate into the warming summer air. As sweet as the nectar she sought, she raised her wings as an organic clock, each flutter a moment until her time of rest. The sweetness of cherry blossoms and the caramel soft scent of flowers in the atmosphere only further highlighted Fenika’s accentuated childlike manner, the fine-drawn footsteps of the girl speeding up as she continued to run through what seemed like miles and miles of pure pollen. Fenika felt the rush of jubilation, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left her almost limp.

 

A cold shiver relentlessly weaved its way down the Ruthern’s spine as she ran her bony hands through the flowing florals of the field. A certain rose bud scowled at her – its mouth opened wide. Never had a few moments deliberation seemed like an eternity as Fenika felt her consciousness ebbing away, and her thoughts, as clear and concise as they were mere moments ago, were coming to a halt. The once familiar and comforting surroundings struck her as if forcing themselves against her weak body – throwing the Ruthern backwards into the heap of pollen. Subsequently, Fenika could feel the dysphoria, the consequence of stumbling into the thick field of stalks. Heart thumping as if it would bombard veins to bloody mess and lungs swollen up like an over-filled balloon. 

 

With vigorous struggle, her vision did falter then, the hues of a more matured and inky stranded woman coming into focus. The figure's footsteps echoed sharply around the field, sounding overly deafening in her own ears, almost like the booming heartbeat of a condemned prisoner. On the top was flawless skin and orbs that shone luminously - making Fenika drawn to this aura. Countenance struck forth unto that foreign landscape ahead of her, the figure edging closer and closer to the helpless Ruthern. It uttered a chant of words, its comprehensibility becoming more indistinct and distorted. The inky woman stood over her, voicing unintelligible words, growing more and more violent by the second. She went on and on until it was silence, the figures flowing dark locks overtaking all that was around them until it was nothing. 

 

Fenika’s ultramarine hued orbs unbolted like two flashlight beams, the new temporal inserts providing enough light to illuminate whatever she locked upon. The abundance of gaily dancing flowers of summertime had vanished like it was never tangible in the first place, as if the whole thing had been a visual hysteric. Her perspiring palms outstretched, rather rapidly striking to meet with the paleness of the Ruthern’s visage. What had transpired within her dainty mind yesterday was already surely fading from memory. It had been words she was sure of, but now that they were truant she felt herself begin to alleviate. The only thing left within the grasps of her clammy hands rested a vigorous sense of burden and responsibility, the pureness of Fenika’s childlike aura diminishing until there was seemingly nothing left to hold onto.
