The Mysterious Painting

The next morning the rays of the sun were lying on the ground as if it was a whiff of gold, the chirping of birds sounded like a sweet melody in the early morning in which the heart just wants to drown. In her white and pink warm room, Lavender was awakened by the melodious chirpings of birds and the ray of sunshine that peeked through her window bypassing the pink curtains and falling upon her beautiful face which made her pure skin shine.

She lazily opened her blue eyes with a cute yet adorable yawn while rubbing her eyes with her little fists feeling a little lazy. Actually, she was an early morning person who rarely felt lazy and today was the exception. The chirping of birds was like a lullaby in her ears the golden ray of light was like a warm embrace to her. After enjoying the warm and cozy morning scenery for a moment. While putting some naughty lits of her hair behind her ears with her long dainty fingers she hugged her favorite Mr. Rabbit a plushy she started cuddling with it. Because she was obsessed with furry things her room was filled with a lot of plushies. After cuddling her Mr. Rabbit to her heart's content, she made her way towards the bathroom. Which was medium in size but no less than any luxurious modern bathroom. After doing her morning needs, she looked into the mirror with a slight smile on her face which shows her slight dimples on both cheeks, she proceed to put her black hair into a messy bun. After getting ready she made her way downstairs.

She directly walked toward the kitchen instead of going to her grandparents. She knew they are not up yet and because of their old age, it will take some time for them for getting up and ready. As she entered the kitchen she happily twirled in her pure white dress around. She loved eating more than cooking. Her grandma was not up yet so there was no breakfast. So she simply took a fresh apple from the refrigerator. After properly washing it she bites down the apple while making a crunching sound.

As she finished her apple she made her way towards her little vegetable and flower garden where her little friends were also happily waiting for her. After playing around for a while with them she started watering the plants. Lavender was busy watering the plants, the birds and Butterflies started playing around her, and even some birds sit on her shoulders without any fear around her. Small animals like rabbits, Deer, lambs, etc. were grazing the grass comfortably. In fact animals and Birds even big animals like tigers, lion were also her friends. Because they felt very comfortable around the little human. The warm embrace of her made them just want to sleep in it. The comfortable feeling around her made them love her more. Of course, Lavender also enjoyed their company. Because of this, she didn't feel lonely often thus was also one of the reasons she love them. Whole Forest Animals and Tress including birds and Small plants were her Friends.

Another reason was she always felt close to them because she can perceive the emotions of animals as well as plants. She herself doesn’t know why but she can feel them since she was a toddler, Maybe she also belongs to Supernatural once. She once asked her grandparents which race she belonged but they said she was God's special child and this was their special blessing to her. But still didn't tell her about which race she belonged to. Unknown to her, Her grandparents themselves were puzzeld about her powers. Normally a child awake their abilities after eighteenth birthday but they saw her healing power when she was just an infant. She can also understand plants as well as animals. which shows how special she was. But one thing they were sure about her that she was an angel but they have never been so powerful angel. So, they tried their best to protect her before her coming age.

Her work was interrupted when she smelled the most delicious smell of pancakes and she knew her Granny must have already woken up and is currently making breakfast. So very quickly after watering the remaining plants, she started collecting lavender flowers in her wicker basket and proceed to decorate her cottage vases with the flowers. And now the small cottage was filled with lavender flowers and fragrance. Sometimes she thought maybe her grandparents named her lavender because of her obsession with lavender flowers. Thinking about this she giggled.

Lavender made her towards the kitchen where currently her grandma was baking pancakes. She also loved baking maybe because she had a very strong sweet tooth.

"Good morning Lovely Granny" Lavender wished her grandma who was busy in baking pancakes.

"Good Morning my lovely baby girl" her grandma replied.

"Where is grandpa"? She asked.

'Oh', "your grandpa currently painting". She replied nonchalantly.

"Why is Nana painting in such early morning"? She could not help but ask while smiling innocently at her grandma.

Granny Elaine smiled at her granddaughter who had grown into such a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl from an angelic toddler. She could not help but felt emotional while thinking that they were getting old if they left, then after them who will look after their beautiful granddaughter? What if someone bullies her, they never let her leave the cottage or outside the forest then how will she be able to survive in a such cruel world? Her innocent self will not be able to survive peacefully. For the first time granny Elaine felt they should at least let her go to school instead of homeschooling maybe then she would not have been so innocent at least she may have been able to protect herself from the clutches of evilness. While shaking her head she could help but felt regret.

Lavender saw her Nene in deep thought with sadness in her eye. She could not help but asked her, "Nene what are you thinking about which made you so sad"?

'Nothing', "just thinking about what if you eat all pancakes alone again what will your Nana and Nene eat" She made a very lame excuse while trying to distract her.

"Nene how can you think such a cruel thing about me. Last time it was pancakes itself that were calling me to eat them. How can I refuse them".Lavender said while making a cute pout. She remembered when once she ate all the pancakes her grandma baked which were so tasty that she forget about saving for her Nana and Nene. Thinking about how she gulped down all the pancakes in one go she couldn't help but felt a blush creep on her face.

Of course, her naive mind instantly forgot about Nene's sadness.

Her grandma couldn't help but chuckle at her babbling nonsense and blushing face.

"What was my Baby asking"? Granny Elaine asked while remembering their earlier conversation.

'Oh', "I was asking why is Nana painting in such early morning"? She asked.

'Oh'," my baby did you really forget what day is today". She couldn't help but be amused at her forgetful mind.

Lavender was still thinking about what day is today while scrunching her nose cutely with a frown on her for forehead as if she was facing the most difficult problem of her life. When granny Elaine saw her struggle she could not bear it and told her, "Today your big brother Jacob is coming and your grandpa have to complete his painting before then"

"Oh my God", she exclaimed loudly."It's already last day of April and how can I forget, big brother will come today".She thought.

She knows every month whenever her brother visits he would take her grandpa's painting to sell. Once her brother also took her painting to sell but the next day when he came back his face was pale and he was clearly frightened. She won't know what he talked about with her Grandparents but from that day he never ever again took her painting. Maybe they didn't like her painting she thought but Nana's paintings were always very beautiful and always got sold at a very high price. That’s why she never lacks anything regarding materialistic things.

As she remembered that today her big brother will come she was excited. She loved to spend time with him. She also loved his wolf Harry. He was so fluffy and cute.

Thinking about this she hugged her Nene and said, "then I m going to look for Nana".

"Go Go", Granny Elaine said while pouring some honey on pancakes.

Lavender smiled at Nene and then run upstairs to the painting room where Nana was engrossed in painting so much that he didn't even notice her naughty granddaughter who was making her way silently toward him. Lavender silently entered the room and quietly sat beside her Grandpa and her beautiful blue eyes curiously looked at the painting.

When she saw the painting she was amazed. The painting was very beautiful. It was an enormous castle that was giving a very mysterious and powerful vibe like a very noble person was residing. Rising above the bustle below, four towers stand stark against the sunlit sky giving a sense of power and control. Four flags fly high, their crimson color with a large white Lycan on it contrasting with the blue sky. The gigantic and enormous gate of the castle was covered with dangerous yet very beautiful vines on its both sides. Most of the castle walls were covered with green vines while covering the large stone walls. There was a statue of a white lycan in front of both sides of the gigantic gate. The eyes of Lycan were bloodshot with a menacing look in them as they were looking at their prey while showing two large canines on both sides of his fangs representing his bloodthirsty nature with a slight smirk on his face as if he can understand the human emotions clearly. The vibes of gigantic and lifelike white Lycan giving her were not eerie or fearful instead she was feeling as if the Lycan was looking at her with a lot of emotions as he was in so much unbearable pain and asking for her to pet him, to comfort him.

She rubbed her eyes and then again looked at the painting but this time she didn't feel anything as her previous experience was just her illusion.

Then she put her hand on her heart feeling her frantic beatings and she again felt the same emotion as if her soul was connected to another person's soul, which was full of sadness and pain same as she saw in lycan's eyes just moments ago.

The emotions were so intense that she started feeling strong pain in her heart, darkness filled in front of her eyes. With a loud 'thud' she fell on floor and lost her consciousness.
