Dark Rose - the begining

There among all the other flowers laid a rose. My lips pursed as i studied its delicate features. Its stem slid neatly in place in the soil,its petals,painted a smooth dark marroon. As i stared uncertainly at the rest of the frosted garden it was the only flower amongst its territory. "Elizabeth." he purred softly in my ear, his cold voice freezing me in place where i stood. "Take it, Elizabeth."
