"mom. mom. mom. can i go outside now? can i? can i? pleaseee you said -"

"oh my god, vervain just go. can't you see i am on the phone with your father?"

vee could see that, but she could also see from the window that the rain had let up and the sun was peeking its friendly face from behind the clouds. she bolted her seven year old self out the door, her bare feet racing from the yard and heading towards the woods. she probably wasn't supposed to go into the woods, but her mother wasn't around to specifically tell her no and that little voice in her head, the one that was definitely freki and not her ( what did her mom call it? her confusion? conchens? conscious? nah that didn't sound right, whatever that thing was that told her the difference between good and bad ).

small, excited screams escaped from her throats as she made her way deeper into the forest. she jumped over the tiny streams and jumped up to swing herself on the low-hanging branches that she passed on her way to her spot. the woods started thinning out, leading into a meadow with tall grasses and sweet-smelling wild flowers blooming throughout it. she sighed dreamily as she stepped into the softer grass, her feets sinking into the soft earth, still wet from the rains. she walked to the middle of the clearing, dropping to the ground in a humph and blinking up at the sky. golden light and blue skies were peeking through and it felt like they were saying hello to just her.

she smiled, a toothy grin with missing teeth that the tooth fairy had taken away. today was such a pretty day, and the only thing that could make it prettier was her best friend, percy. but she wasn't with her today, so vee decided to enjoy the day while she could. the ginger cherub sat up and looked around her, the grass almost blocking her view. she reached out to grab at the purple flowers - hyacinth - that surrounded her. she put them in her pocket for later and then turned her attention on some orangish wildflowers. she picked them and began to weave herself a flower crown, placing it on top of her head. out here she was a princess, she was home, she was where she belonged.

vee sat there for a while, enjoying the last bit of sun before it began to set. she wiggles her toes and laughed when ladybugs crawled all over her. she looked cross eyed at the one that landed on her nose. "why hello there mi'lady. how do ya do?" she erupted into giggles and pouted when the bug left her face.

the sun was going back and freki gently reminded her she should probably be heading home. sighing, she stood up and made her trek back home. she walked slower on her way back, not eager to get back and be cooped up inside until tomorrow. it's just, she was a wild girl, she belonged to nature, it was who she was. and inside, she had to be quiet, she had to stay in her room, she had to ( oh GOD ) put away the dishes? dishes! she didn't even want to eat off them in the first place. honestly, what was her mother thinking sometimes? she was a wolf! not a girl.

realizing it had gotten darker faster than expected, she took of running towards home, splashing in the puddles she had avoided earlier and getting her feet all muddy. she really couldn't be late again, they wouldn't let her play if she was. and vee needed to play? okay? she just did. reaching her home, she opened the door and ran inside. except, she had forgotten about her messy feet. and now there was mud prints all behind her, and her mother was walking to the front door.

"VERVAIN WISTERIA FENRIR! you are tracking mud all in this house! what are you thinking? why are you such a mess?"

"i'm sorry mommy, it was an accident. i just didn't want to be late."

her mother was still rambling, ignoring her apologies. "honestly, it's like you're trying to kill me. you are so messy all the time. all! the! time! just, just go to your room and get cleaned up and ready for bed."

later on that night, once her parents had gone to bed, vee snuck the flowers she had plucked earlier and headed downstairs as quietly as possible. she placed the flowers around the house, little purple reminders for her mother in the morning.

( purple hyacinth - a symbol used to ask for forgiveness )

she snuck back upstairs and walked into her parents bedroom, going over to her mother's side of the bed and placing a soft kiss on her forehead, watching as her nose twitched. "sorry mommy." she whispered softly into the room, padding out and plopping herself into bed. the sleep overtook her instantly, the sadnman blessing her with sweet dreams and making her ready for a new adventure in the morning.

( just a little drabble i conjured up, i think i have an obsession with icarus and the sun - just saying haah )
