Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
Aurora turned another corner to another alley that lead to home. Outside she saw Riven and the man from the park earlier.
Guess this outing was a good one. We found two more in our family. Aurora thought to herself as she walked past the two and to the door. “I guess we need to get a different lock, one that everyone can use.” She giggled as the sound of leaves rustling inside moved away from the door. One of the vines twisted the handle from inside and pulled the door open. Walking inside, Aurora placed the apples she was carrying on the table beside the door. She took a deep breath once inside glad to be home with her children.
The room smelled like vegetation and the aroma of flowers filled the air. It was over grown with dozens of house plants that covered the floor. Their roots intertwining each other in the thin layer of soil that was once held in the now busted pots. The plants crept up the walls and across the ceiling the leaves making a canopy across the room. Across the room was the kitchen that was half flooded by the busted pipes under the sink and on the edge of the water stood an over grown Fiddle Leaf Fig. The trees branches pushed its way through the roof causing part of it to collapse into the room allowing some natural light in.
Aurora turned back to everyone waiting for them to come in. “Come on in. Don’t worry nothing in here will bite as long as you don’t poke it too much." She said jokingly, "There are plenty of rooms for everyone and a wash room right down the hall. Only the living room and kitchen look like this I made sure to leave the rooms alone in case we had guests. I don’t know about Riven but I have on one rule. Hurt my babies and I will kick your a**.” Aurora gave them all a kind smile but it was clear in her crystal blue eyes she was serious.
The feeblest or the waywardness, --
Her admonition mild.
