The last Omega In the Kingdom

The plague

It all started that night, the night of the first snow of the year, it was so cold that my fingers felt frozen, I had gone out to the forest of mist to look for some medicinal herbs that my mother had asked to prepare her remedies, I was cutting some branches and  Among all of them I found a strange flower, it was purple and gave off a peculiar, sweet smell, I torm it between my hands and tear it away, I inhaled its aroma and suddenly I did not know anything else about me.

when I felt that I was coming back to life there was snow on my body, I could barely move, my delicate body could not gather the strength to get out of it, I thought I would die in that place, I could not feel my legs, and it was becoming more and more difficult for me  breathe, then in the distance I heard my mother and father shout my name ... with the last of my strength I managed to get a hand out of the snow and moments later I felt my mother's hand on mine.  "Jimin darling, we're going to get you out, resist"

my parents managed to get me out of the snow and in a carriage they took me to our humble house, mom lies me in bed and puts warm cloths on my body, in front of some coals and makes a soup to warm my body, my father puts blankets on  me and rubs his wool against them looking for the blood of my body to run again towards my extremities;  I don't know how long I spent passed out in the middle of the snowfall, the last thing I remember is the smell of that flower entering my system like a whirlpool, and making everything spin, I felt my heart almost stop, and then I just felt  nothing more, fell into a deep sleep.

My fhater is an alpha and my mother an omega, and I am an omega, I am 20 years old although for some reason my development has been late, I have not had my first heat yet, My mother says that I should have had it already, but nothing has happened to my body yet, the truth is, I don't leave the house much, we live far from town, I've always heard that alphas are wild and ruthless with omegas, dad has never tried  Bad to mom, but he is different from other mens , maybe that's why I always try to be alone, for fear of being hurt;  And maybe that's why my heat hasn't arrived because I haven't shared closely with any alpha other than my father

I spent a few days in bed but I recovered and felt like before, then dad came from town pale, sweaty looking for me, "Jimin, were you okay?  you feel good?  What is wrong? I asked him scared, I did not understand why his nervousness ... "6 omegas have died this morning, all in the same conditions, they fade and turn pale as if the blood was leaking from their body, they are so weak that they can not even eat  , the disease is spreading rapidly, the doctors of the kingdom do not know what it is, they say that it has only attacked the omegas for being the weakest

my mother hugs me tightly, she fears for her life and mine;  "We must go north, we must get away from the town and the plague, we have to put Jimin to safety, I know a cave in the mountain, we will take what is necessary and try to wait there for the plague to pass

We took few things in the bags, food, some herbs, clothes, the little that we could and we left that place escaping a possible death

The trip was severe due to the weather conditions and Mom looks very weak, Dad and I went with her to an old cave that was used by hunters before, a cave between the rock of the mountain, there is a makeshift bed and a few chairs, mom will get into bed holding my hand "Jimin darling, there are so many things I want you to know, you have always been special, and even some see you fragile, you are like the flower of the snow, you will always overcome adversity"

Mom.. I have seen that flower you speak of, it is beautiful

my mother opens her eyes terrified, incredulous of what I say

that is not possible jimin, those flowers no longer exist, the last one that was seen is told by the elders who were seen many years ago in the herd, and the great omega of the kingdoms saw it

Mom I don't believe in fantasy stories, it is a simple flower by the way with a strange aroma, that smell and that flower were the ones that caused me to faint the night of the snowfall, that's why I almost died that day

my father approaches us with the same concern in his eyes, "Jimin promise me that you won't tell anyone you saw that flower"
