Which door?

A Greenhouse Door

The door that draws your attention is strange and out of place, even compared to the rest. It's a double door made of glass which doesn't seem strange on it's own but inside is a variety of plants, almost like a greenhouse. The door opens without protest and as you walk in you note the room is a fair bit warmer and much more humid than the rest of the house. The plants are strange, mostly consisting of odd vines and vibrant flowers that you've never seen before, but as you turn a corner you see something truly breathtaking.

It's a flower, a purple one, but gigantic. There seems to be no stem, the flower itself seems to be rooted into a massive rectangular box full of soil. Another oddity is the petals are closed up, almost like it hasn't bloomed yet. You walk up and almost instinctively run your hand across one petal, marveling at this flower that looks large enough that several people could stand inside were it open. Standing near it seems to make you feel relaxed, like your troubles are melting away...

_Oh shit, Keith! _you realize in a flash. You start to make your way out of the room when you hear something start to shift. You turn back to the flower to see its' petals starting to open as what looks like nectar spills out of the blooming flower. Finally the flower fully opens, revealing what at first seems like a stamen, but as the nectar sloughs off you realize that isn't the case. You see hips and a bust, first and realize the figure within is a woman or at least shaped like one. Her skin is green with a texture not unlike the stem of a flower, with leaf like growths that give her the barest impression of being clothed. Instead of hair she has purple flower petals that sprout from her head in the rough shape of a bob cut, and her ears have an elvish point to them. As the nectar clears from a familiar face you gasp.

"Allegra!?". No matter what had happened to her, you would recognize her face anywhere. Her eyes slowly open, her irises now a strangle, almost glowing gold. She looks down at you and smiles.

"Morgan, sweetie, I'll explain everything I promise." She says softly. Out of the corner of your eye you can see flowers throughout the greenhouse opening and you can almost swear you see a faint pink mist leaking out of them. "Just come to me and I'll help you understand.".

You should be scared, some part of you wants to run out of the room as fast as your legs can take you. But for some reason you can't bring yourself to do it, even thinking about it seems to exhaust you. You've known Allegra since you were a kid, surely you can trust her?

Trust Allegra?
