I entered the park and started remembering the clues my father always said to me, from what I remember this Park it's made peculiarly, is pretty big and is divided into 5 sectors, The first sector is a deep forest like the ones you see in terror movies, so is better to be accompanied in that area for precaution and is my final goal, the other sectors are a Xerophilic area, this one has a lot of cactuses and water-absorbent plants, the next one is an Aquatic area, this one is pretty, it has a lot of lily pads and lotus flowers, there are even some Japanese ornaments around, but you have to avoid the swamp part, some asshole put his pet crocodiles in there, because he couldn't take care of them, he was charged a lot of things and appeared in the media for some time, one of them was introducing species in an alien ecosystem, not that it's my case (An alien lizard in my wrist, simulating being a bracelet). The next area is the Mountain sector, this one is weird, is considered the cold zone, and the last one is called The Garden, is a place with a lot of flowers and plants of varying sizes and colors, but not the ones I am looking for like I said before this place is made peculiarly, all the sectors are connected by temperature and pressure in every one of his areas, the Rosebush I'm looking for is between the Mountain and the Garden.

In this moment I am entering the Garden and I'm walking toward the mountain, but I'm not entering it, I will round it to get to the forest, there is a reason why I got a backpack full of stuff, this place is huge and it will take some time to get to the clearing with the roses.

— Well here we go.

The Garden is the most extensive of the zones, at first I wanted to get one of the Tulips from here, but there are security and a penalty fee for vandalizing the green areas, and there are things you can't take like so, in short words I have to be careful with the rangers, in the news was a notice of the park needing more guards so they contracted ex-convicts for the most isolated areas, I think that was a bad move, well there is the problem of a lot of people not wanting to take care of a Vegetal Lung like this park at will, so I must get away from anyone and every one suspicious.

—Je, I think Aishti has some reason to not want any more demons there because we have them here now.

After 30 min walking, I got to the mountain foot, or more like a very big Hill, but whatever.

"Now, where do I go, ¿to the right or the left? let's see, my father always told me there were some clues on the way to that place, the first one is at the foot of the mountain in a big rock... He said it was a black stain in one of the stones " It took me a while finding the fucking rock, there were a dozen in here and it was not a black stain, it was dirt on the left side, so that was the direction, the other one would direct me to the swamp, so it's pretty obvious the direction you should take knowing the park and looking for a forest, the problem is, you have to follow a certain path to get the next clue.

After a while I found one of the entrances to the woods, now is the real deal, this forest is thick with trees and is possible to get lost if you don't follow the marked path, but that is just what I have to do.

"Ok I must look for a tree with the initials of my dad, there are 5 in total, and the last one will guide me directly to the clearing, I see a lot of trees, If I followed the correct direction I should see a peculiar tree " I looked around for 15 minutes and found the first one, the sun was already high in the sky, and I didn't want to lose time, the next ones were easier to find because the clues were getting more obvious with an arrow pointing the way. When I found the last one, the light was diminishing, "I must hurry" the Forest in the late hours was dangerous.

"Why I am looking for this in the first place... Ah that's right I have a pact with the Devil or one of its descendants I don't know... whatever" I kept walking until I found some bushes blocking the path, there was a little hole where one could crawl I entered and found the clearing it was not so big, the sun could be seen through the trees all looked beautiful, perfect for a picnic or date if you have the patience to find this place. Here was the Rosebush, it was marvelous, I had never seen a Rose like this one, it grew naturally without any human hand.

"I wonder how a rose like this one can exist in the wild, well it looks marvelous but only seeing its not my purpose for this trip" I started rummaging my backpack and got out a container for the rose and started looking for the scissors, I obviously wouldn't touch it with my hands.

— Wait, ¿where are the scissors?... ¡The scissors! I forgot then in the table of the kitchen ¡I got here for nothing!... no, maybe I can still take it, but "I look at my hands" this better it's worth the effort — I get close to the rosebush and choose the rose that looks more promising and beautiful when I was about to touch one, my hands began itching, when I looked at them, they were red and with a calloused aspect.

— It's like when I ran against the cyclist, I thought it was a casualty, this is scaring me but... I better take advantage of this — I put my hand inside the bush and pulled the flower, I didn't feel nothing because of the state of my hands, but this kept worrying me. when I ripped the flower from the bush, my hands began trembling and changed to their normal aspect, provoking a pinch in my hand that let the blood flow, I let go the flower and observed the wound, it was not grave but it could get infected if I don't clean it, I took the water from my bag and washed my hand, I also got a cloth and put it around my hand, I finally took the rose and put it in the container.

— Well now is the funny part, getting out, I am not going to make all that trip again, I will get out by the Forest entrance and avoid any person in the way, I don't want more surprises, I expect Aishti makes this worth it — I ate some crackers waited a while to enjoy the scenery and got up from the ground. It was 4:30 pm and I was still in the woods, I found the main path, but in that, I see two ranger some meters away behind some trees, I sneaked behind some bushes.

"If they were normal rangers they would be in the path, not behind the trees in the middle of the forest, this looks bad... ¿What do I do?... I could sneak around the bushes, but I must avoid making noises, there isn't enough wildlife around to mask myself, and they aren't big enough too, like a deer, I must think on some way to get out of here... Wait ¿what is that?.

— Agh, not even one bitch with sports clothing has passed today. the guard in this forest is pretty bad, but we can take advantage of this situation, I hated jail.

— I agree the one from yesterday had amazing breasts, but because of you ripping her bra she got away, I almost got my way with her, you and your stupid pants.

— You still keep blaming for that, I told I couldn't resist anymore, and the pig of the two is you, we haven't seen any brats to steal these days too, those idiots never see the path they are walking, this makes our job too easy, at the end, they drop and cry like pussies, we had to kill the last one because he was resisting...

"I can hear then... this could be beneficial, but first I need a distraction, ¿but what could work? ¿a stick? if I throw it far enough that could give me some time to run" I took a stick big enough " I hope this works" I trowed the stick near them so they could hear it.

— ¿What was that? maybe it's someone, let's go see.

" Perfect they took the bait, now is my chance " I got out of my hiding place the most quiet way possible and went directly to the path, well it looks I didn't think it trough, because one of them saw me and told the other one, I began running, it is a nice time for my legs to respond like before and my body complied, I started running faster, but at the next moment it vanished, my body felt weak, like if I had anemia.

There are times where you win and others where you curse luck, well this is one of those cases, my velocity dropped, and one of the guys jumped over me and began holding me.

— This bastard runs fast, but he got tired rapidly... that was weird, check his bag, let's see what he got.

— Mmmmm some crackers, water, stuff without valor, he doesn't have a phone even ¿Wait, what do we have here?.

— ¿You got something?.

— ¿A rose? aww isn't that romantic, it's a pity, your girlfriend won't have her little flower — The fat guy throw the container to the floor to damage the rose, I won't permit some fat bastard shit on my achievement, all my body tensed and I throw away the idiot on top of me, in my rage I took the disgusting pig by the head and pulled it to the other one, making both get on the ground, in their vulnerability I kicked their balls many times, making them squeal in pain until I put them away from their misery hitting their heads against a trunk nocking them, I took my stuff and didn't look back.
