"And these bones, I guess you could read their dead, right?" "That was different," he said. "I couldn't tell. And I was hungry." Rose arched her brow and sighed. "So, you're free," Fred said.

The moment my skin hit the thorn,my body was clearly his. I looked at the bead of blood on my finger.

I looked up instinctively and caught sight of myself and my to-be mate in the mirror.

We didn't have any on our backyard lawn but mama had seen them before. "They are the rarest and most unique type of flowers. I believe you will see one some day my dear and when you do, don't forget to adore its unique beauty and ironic nature" she would say. "Life is just like a rose my dear" she would begin soon after, readjusting so I was laying right in her lap.

He tsked shamefully. "But it has already been purchased as a gift. It is rude not to accept." He thrust the rose into her face, and she grabbed it instinctively, only to feel the thorns dig into her flesh. What kind of peddler left the thorns on a rose? She carefully pulled the barbed stem from her flesh, only to realize there was a tag hanging off one of the leaves.
