Crimson Rain Sought Flower Novels & Stories

A real grip from a woman with crimson eyes who called herself her mother and whose voice cracked like it had been crying for years. She got up. Went to the window. Looked down. The wolf was there. Right below her window. Looking straight up at her. Those gold eyes burning steady in the dark, patient and fixed on her face like it had been watching her window all night. She pressed her palm flat against the cold glass. Then she looked at the windowsill. A flower sat on the outside ledge. Dark crimson petals. Almost black at the edges. Fresh and alive on a second floor windowsill with no ledge and no tree close enough to reach. Placed there carefully. On purpose.

Amara pov: The morning air bit at my skin as we stepped out of the armored vehicle and into the cruel winter haze near the border fence. Snow fell in lazy spirals, soft and deceptive, trying to cover the stench of death clinging to the earth. But nothing could mask it—not for someone like me. Not for someone who knew the difference between blood spilled in battle and blood spilled as a warning. Kira walked ahead with grim purpose, her eyes scanning everything—every tree, every footprint, every glint of metal buried in the frost.

The embers in the fireplace had died down to a dull, pulsing crimson, burying the guest quarters in a suffocating, heavy gloom. Outside, the rain had completely stopped, leaving Lake Como trapped beneath a toxic, frozen fog that bled through the gaps in the stone window frames.

I left some of the wounds bandaged as I also treated the bruises on my face. I inhaled deeply, hoping it would help ease the pain for just a few minutes. My body remained stationary in the same position for a while before the pain subsided, and I was able to stand up, returning the first aid kit. Opening the second cupboard revealed an impressive collection: emerald green, black, champagne, ruby red, and pale blue dresses, each uniquely crafted with luxurious fabrics, intricate details, and dazzling embellishments.

CRIMSON I went home early that day. Mrs. Li said that I could rest for the whole afternoon with pay since she had an urgent thing to do. I feel that it was because of what I reported to her that the man where I delivered the flowers said that he wanted to talk to her.

Their petals were deep violet, almost black, blooming despite the chill. “What are these?” “Belladonna.” She raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that poisonous?” Rhys smiled without looking at her. “Only if you swallow it.” She glanced back toward the mansion, just visible through the fog. “Did someone leave that letter for me?” He stilled. His fingers hovered above the roots. “What letter?” he asked. She hesitated. “In my room. Crimson wax seal. No name. It was… left on my floor. Like someone had just been there.”

"That thing doesn't like me. I see it in my dreams." She didn't ask what they meant. They bought nothing. They just stood for a while, then left. By the time dusk hit, the flowers had grown taller. Crimson petals opened toward her whenever she walked near. Not aggressive. More like recognition. She stared at the mirror one last time before closing. The cracks were thicker now, webbing across the surface like veins under skin. Her reflection met her gaze. This time, it whispered — barely audible. "Bloom." She closed her eyes. Felt it in her chest like a drumbeat. Something ancient, crawling, rising through soil, through concrete, through thought.

I hurried after her, the forest opening up a clear path before us as we pressed in. A group of squirrels up in the trees stared at us as we passed, seemingly talking to themselves. I stopped as we arrived at a part of the forest where long vines with colorful, pink, white and purple flowers upon them coiled around the trees. I reached to touch a pink flower and stopped as my eyes caught sight of a doe just a little way off, staring at me. As I looked deep into its eyes, the doe suddenly seemed to change, looking like an apparition with several feelers. I gasped in fear. The flowers I had wanted to touch also changed to tiny old gnarled faces with long knobby nose, making me skip backwards. I
