Chapter Four: The Tainted Rose of Blood
Violet took a few steps back and tried her best to hide the tears that were clouding her vision. "I....don't know what you are talking about! My sisters aren't demons! There is no such thing!" she said desperately; hoping they would buy it. It was obvious from the look on their faces that they did not believe her. The gleam in their eyes told her that they intended to take her life either way, and then her older sisters. Violet closed her eyes as the tears poured down her face.
The man still pointing the gun at her head, smiled cruelly at her. "Fine, they are not demons. I'm not sure what they call themselves but, they have unnatural powers making them abominations of God! Spin how you want but their kind will be hunted down and destroyed. You do not have to die though girl, you have no such powers. So tell me where to find them and you will be spared." he said in a warm fatherly tone.
Violet took a deep breath and looked up at the man, smiling. “I really don’t have the slightest idea what you are talking about. I am just a flower shop keep, nothing more or less. Can I interest you in some roses? We just got them shipped in yesterday.”
The man took off the safety and laughed bitterly. “Big mistake girlie, I was hoping not to have to kill Lily’s only pure daughter but, you leave me no…” he stopped talking and looked over to see his gun now pointing at his own head. The fellow men pulled out their own only to have the same strange thing happen to them.
“Violet, get over here now!” Rika commanded from the doorway. Violet nodded obediently and ran out the door to Rika. “Close your eyes and don’t even think of opening them.” Upon hearing that, Violet shut her eyes tightly and put her hands over them in case she was tempted to do otherwise. A second later, eight gunshots rung out from the flower shop joined by loud thuds against the floor; it was clear the men were no longer a threat. Violet started to shake uncontrollably. “Rose…I need Rose.” She said over and over again like a prayer.
Rika grunted irritably and grabbed her younger sister’s hand as she ran towards the one place she knew was safe. “Too bad, I saved you not her. She’s still out of town for now.” Rika said as she started to pant from all her running; Rika ran all the way from Helle and Elle’s to the flower shop. She could still hear Helle’s calm voice ringing out to her, it was sickening to remember. “Looks like your little sister will die soon. I guess you better leave for now.” “How could she be so casual about something like that?” Rika wondered out loud as she continued to drag Violet towards the witches’ home. Violet still had her eyes shut but, had finally stopped calling for Rose.
Finally arriving a few minutes later, Rika focused on the gates angrily and they burst open for her and Violet. “Well looks like Killer is finally back,” Elle said amused by Rika’s exhausted state. “And she brought a little friend Helle! Looks like those zealots decided on some payback because I poisoned one of the little messenger’s that came in.” Rika looked about ready to kill her as she just stated to process what she heard. “They nearly killed my little sister because of your actions and you failed to mention it. Nice, Elle!” she said bitterly as she collapsed on the floor.
.......
Helle stared into her tea and for once a look of panic almost came to her eternally calm face. “They aren’t done just yet. They are heading here now with those disgusting weapons. Many of them.” she said ominously.
........
Rose pulled up at the flower shop and killed the engine. She knew something was wrong just by the look and smell of the place. Gunpowder…no. she thought as she ran into the shop. Gagging she looked around the room to see blood everywhere. “Violet……VIOLET!!!” she screamed at the top of her lungs in vain. Her eyes filled with tears as she backed out of the shop slowly seeing all of the flowers covered in blood; an all to familiar scene.
.......
Elle tsked and reached under couch, pulling out a pair of twin katanas with pink and violet butteflies all over the sheaths. "Then, let's give them a fight to remember ladies."

That was interesting. The evil witch-hunters all shot themselves. Don't you just love it when that happens?

Chapter 5: The Violet and Rose of Redemption
They could it hear the loud clang of footsteps, as Helle ushered Violet into a small hidden room. "You must stay there Violet. When the time comes, you will disobey me, but for now remain in this place." Helle said calmly as she shut the door in Violet's face. If all goes well, we won't need you. But, I already know that not to be true. Be strong, Violet. Every minor character has a defining moment. Yours is rapidly approaching. Prepare yourself, Water Violet of Redemption. Helle thought as she grabbed the katana her sister held out for her and stood calmly by Elle's side as she was born to.
.......
Violet stared blankly at the door after Helle shut it, wondering to herself just what she meant. How does she know my name? What was she talking about? She acts like she can see the future or something! she thought bitterly before sinking to the floor in despair. ....Rose....where are you? You said that you'd always come back for me but, it was Rika who came and saved me. Rika....she never liked me but, when I ran to her, she had fear in her eyes. She was scared....scared that I was going to die. Rose, were we wrong about her? Does she truly love us? Violet thought as she looked up at the ceiling tearfully and held her hands in prayer. Dear God, please protect my sisters. Even if what those people say is true, that my sisters are demons and witches, love them anyways. Smile at them, even if they are abominations against you.
......
Elle smiled sweetly as her sister joined her at her side. "Elle, I've always wondered, just what exactly is your power?" Rika asked curiously as she stared at the door awaiting their incoming enemies. Elle smile turned playful at Rika's question. "Watch little Bloodrose, it'll be the show of a lifetime, I swear that to you little tainted rose." she said playfully as she shut her eyes. "Love, give me strength." Elle whispered as smokey pink butterflies filled the room. "Destiny, give me strength." Helle whispered after her as smokey violet butterflies filled the room.
......
The doors swung open as men with guns, soliders, prepared to fire, Rika's eyes widened. "Butterfly Marmalade!" the twins screamed in unison as the smokey butterflies stopped and flew into the men. Those who the pink butterflies entered doubled over as their veins turned pink. Poison... Rika thought to herself. Others who had the violet butterflies enter them screamed in terror and fell dead from what looked like sheer terror. Illusion...those two combined their resective powers to create an illusion that both poisoned and drove our enemies mad. Helle and Elle....no wonder they are so feared....they're powerful and they know exactly how to use that power. The Witches of Love and Destiny...are no joke. Rika thought with as she resisted her urge to shiver. "What's the matter Bloodrose? Didn't you like our little show?" Elle asked smugly as the last of the men died. Rika put a cruel smile on her face and banished those thoughts from her head. "It was a lovely show ladies, but mine is far superior." she said as her grey eyes turned hard with blood lust. "The second wave of fools is all mine." she said hungrily.
......
Rika smiled lightly as the men burst into the room with trying their best to hide the shock from seeing all of their comrades dead on the floor. "Gentlemen, you are wondering how three girls managed to kill your precious comrades. The truth is only two did and only one will kill all of you. You see, your minds are open book that I can rewrite anytime I please and your bodies, this world, are all clay that I can mold to my liking. So this is what your story will be, everyone of you soliders will shot at each other like crazy and whoever lives, will run down downstairs in fear and kill the last wave." she said cruelly. Like puppets on a string, they obeyed and when all but ten were dead, they ran downstairs screaming. A moment later, gun shots were heard and then everything went silent. "So ladies, did you like my show?" Rika asked smugly as the twin witches watched her with both admiration and fear.
.......
Rose ran out of the shop, heading for her motorcycle as quickly as she could. Just as she was about to hop on though, a great gust of wind sent the bike flying at Rose. Rose narrowed her eyes and hit the ground, as the bike flew into the window of her flower shop. "Thought you'd get away with it b***h? I don't care what the Blue Guardian says, you're going to pay for what you've done, Blaze!" a mousy looking brown haired and eyes girl shouted at Rose as she rode the iwnd down from the sky. Rose got up and sighed loudly. "I am nothing but, the weapon they used against you. If you want revenge, go to those who wielded the weapon." Rose said evenly as she turned around and walked towards her bike. "You think you can turn your back on me?" Sarai shouted as the wind picked up around her. Rose continued to ignore her as she yanked out the bike from the window and the wind died. Suddenly, the air filled with the smell of barbeque. Sarai stared won in horror as her body reduced to ashes and she flew into the very wind she once wielded. Rose set her bike down and reved up the engine. Other then some damage to the paint, it was in no way harmed. As she flew off towards Elle and Helle's home, it crossed her mind that a normal person would feel guilty for what she had doen to that poor girl and her father. Luckily for Rose she was far from normal and dismissed the thought as she increased her speed.
.....
"Well, looks like its my turn to play." a silver haired boy said as he appeared in the door with a smile. "I'm your final boss, Cerian Damon, let's play ladies." he said with a smug smile. Rika looked at him unamused, and sighed. "I hate fanboys, so let's cut to the chase. Pick up the first gun you see and shot yourself in the head." she said dully. Obediently, he grabbed a gun and smiled at Rika as he pulled the trigger.
......
Rika stared at her shoulder as blood started to pour out of it. A moment later, she flew up against the wall, crashing into the hidden room Violet was hiding in up until, now. As second later, Elle and Helle were pinned to the walls helplessly. "Now, that is taken care of, I want to tell you ladies a story before you all die. This way, you know just exactly what led to this very moment, before you all go to hell." he said smugly before getting into a narrative dialogue. "Once upon a time, there was a a rich, spoiled brat named Lily Crimson and she fell in love with a sweet boy witch named Mark Perrie. Alas, Mark was in love with a fellow witch named Ria Helen who had powers over mind and matter much like your dear narrator Cerian and our beloved bloody mind witch, Rika over there. Lily could not accept this though, and her love turned to obsession and a deep hatred for all witches. So, with a little money and influence, the Crimson Knights were founded and witches all over the world were slaughtered one by one. Ria Helen could not accept this though, nor could Mark. So under the alias, Crossrose and Range, they founded a rival organization called the Bloody Petals in memory of the blood of innocents that Lily had shed. The two organizations clashed and the Bloody Petals might have won, hadn't Lily sent in a double agent, Cerian Damon, who rewired Range's mind to kill his wife Crossrose and love Lily. The Petals fell and the Crimson Knights went unchecked until, the day that Range's and Crossrose's daughter, Bloodrose, powers awoke and she killed our beloved leader and her love. Now, the double agent who was deeply in love with his dead leader has come for his revenge and Lily's sole pure daughter." he said darkly as a piece of wall hovered above Rika's chest.
.......
"NO!" Violet screamed as she came out of her hiding spot and as if on some sort of miracle, all the pipes in the room brust and water went spraying at Cerian. He flew back in shock and landed on the floor soaking wet. Cerian began to laugh hard as he stood up with a twisted smile. "So, Lily had no pure heir, huh? How ironic! Doesn't matter I'll still kill the others and take you Violet. You do have those lovely eyes of Lily's I so loved." he said as all the furniture in the room began to hover around him.
......
The furniture fell to the ground along with the chunk of wall above Rika as Cerian's body began to steam as his skin turned red and melted. "Didn't I always say, I'd come back to you Violet?" Rose asked as she stood in the doorway. "Die." Rose said simply as Cerian fell to ash on the floor, releasing Elle and Helle.

That looked like a bit of a cliffhanger... or is there more?
Also, I've noticed that instead of saying "Shoot", you say "shot". You should be careful of that. Buuuut... all in all, a great story. My sister in particular would like this, so I'll print it out for her, if that's okay. May I?
-you have been Post-Nazied!

Of course you could print it out for her. I will fix the spelling error and when I post Epilogue: Five Petals Five Years the cliffhanger will end. For now, guess the ending.

Epilogue: Five Petals, Five Years
....That day....it feels like a lifetime ago. So many things happened after that. Our lives changed not for the better, but they did change. Don't you think Amilla? I mean that's why I am sending this email to you. I still have some hope you will reappear someday. The Blue Guardian of the Dawn who helped me save my sisters and all people like us. You've made yourself very difficult to find, and I can't say that I blame you. If I could I would run away too. At first I thought you were just angry with me. I killed that girl, Sarai, heartlessly to save the people I love. That is a sin time has made me realize and of course a visit to the graves of that poor girl and her father every year.
Now that I am a little older I think you planned to go away all along. That is why you unlocked that memory, right? Making me relive the day my mother and father died so that I could take your place and revive the Bloody Petals. I am sure by now you heard that is exactly what I did. Yes, Rose Perrie is now the leader of the Bloody Petals, an organization promoting harmony between normal people and those who are not so normal. I still refuse to call ourselves witches to this day. Of course, there is still need for Blaze to fight in the shadows against the rogue members of the Crimson Knights. You probably know that they still haven't fully met their end yet either and Blaze will never die as long as they are still around.
Still, Rose can live a normal life, can't she? I welcomed a baby girl into the world five years ago today, Amilla Rosary Perrie. Everyone just calls her Ami though. Her father is understanding of the situation being one of the first members I recruited for the Bloody Petals and all. He accepted the fact that I will never marry him when I became pregnant with Ami. We live a quiet life when we are not working, often visiting Elle's wish shop or Violet's flower shop.
Yes, they are still working in their old fields! Elle got her own wish granted last year when her and Rika finally married. Apparantly she had always had a huge crush on my older sister according to Helle who can actually speak on her own after a few years of getting to know her much to my surprise. They adopted a little four year old boy about three months ago who is like us. Oddly enough, being a gay couple gave them more problems in adopting than being 'witches'. Their little boy Ethan loved them so much, that it was hard to deny their petition for adoption and they adopted him in record time. I guess I really did change the world, huh?
Violet married a quiet guy who loves flowers as much as she does. They are currently waiting for a set of twins to be born into this world, a boy and girl.
And lastly Helle, married a man just as outspoken as Elle is. They have one boy together who is quiet like his mother except when it is something he believes in. Then he puts even Elle to shame with his booming voice and stubborness.
All in all Amilla, things have really changed haven't they? After surviving that fight with Cerian, in particular Rika who came closest to death that day, we all changed. I am much to jaded to say for the better, but I think you arew catching my drift. Wherever you are, come back and join us here okay? I know you left this email for me to find on purpose. Even if it took all these years to find! I am waiting for you and Ami is dying to meet the woman she is named after!
Until we meet again,
Rose 'Blaze' Perrie
