Vivien Rose: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Vivien Rose was relaxing at her favourite spot in the country, sitting under the big willow tree. She observed the snowdrop flowers that popped through the moist earth in the early spring. Watching the bubbling brook that wound its way through the field, past patches of lavender while she listened to the birds singing their songs of spring. Her dirty blonde hair blew in the breeze and her young green eyes shone brightly. She had never shown her special place to anyone. As far as she knew, no one else knew about it. She walked over to the brook and ran her hand through the flowing water. Walking to a patch of lavender, she bent down to take in its sweet fragrance. She walked back over to the willow. Running her hand along its rough trunk as she looked up at the elegant …show more content…
But that’s ok, a little confusion isn’t so bad once in a while. Now how would you feel about an adventure? Follow my instructions, and maybe you’ll find me. It won’t take long and I know it will be worth your while. I hope to see you soon. Follow the brook through the field until you come to the spring.”
Vivien was awe struck! “It’s signed anonymous. How did someone know I was going to be here?” she asked herself. She contemplated for a moment on what to do. “Well, a little adventure never hurt anyone.” she said to herself. So she set off, following the brook. It led her a little ways into the woods, where it stopped and formed a small spring. Vivien had never seen the spring before, and stood there taking in its beauty. Then she remembered the note. Looking around she spotted a flash of white attached to a big rock. She snatched it up to see what it said.
“Well done Viv, you have found my second note. You 're almost there, and the adventure has hardly begun. Find my next note, and I’ll take you on a real adventure. Find it under the evergreen tree. Through the woods, past the spring, 100 steps north, to see what your adventure will

    Normally, it was not unlike Kolda to rise before a human had any right to, on the cusp of an ink-blotted morning, when the trees were still working tirelessly to shake the vestiges of dew from their waxy-leaves. When, on the horizon, a burnt orange ribbon lined its lip, radiating waves of indigo and cobalt and casting the world beneath it in an eerie, complacent glow. A creamy fog would trickle across the hyssop field from border of Sylph Grove, a merciful cover to nature’s cities beneath, blotting the cotton-hued blanket with splotches of bold lavender. The fog brought the smell of the mountains with it, mating with the wooden and charcoal scents of her home, to wrest her from her dreams. She would obey, rising seamlessly, donning her fur-lined…

    Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person.…

    Reconciliation Interrupted by the faint sounds of birds chirping and grass swaying in the gentle breeze, the calming silence became a distant memory. As the birds flapped their wings, moving at the edge of the tiny meadow, from one tree to the next, they cast their shadows over the body of a small brown skinned, black haired girl. She lay on her back in the hilltop grass, facing directly up towards the almost blinding light of the afternoon sun. Her dark skin, holding a lively warm glow, reflected the rays of sunlight off of her quickly flickering eyelids. Suddenly, they were open, revealing her dark brown almond shaped eyes and her ever so slightly off white sclera.…
