Amina started living in another village, raising camellia all by herself. Now that camellia has her human form, it was no trouble for Amina to raise her.
As years passed, now that camellia turned 6, things started to change…
Amina noticed something different when she was working as a florist at her neighbourhood shop, she used to bring Camellia to the flower shop with her. When Amina used to work, Camellia used to play with flowers.
One day Amina saw something strange, while camellia was watering plants with her, Camellia saw a dead dried plant and wanted to save it, she touched the plant and that's it, just like magic the plant was back to life and was healthy like never before. Amina was shocked to see her baby girl do magic. She understood that Camellia was not an ordinary child and has a great superpower of controlling nature.
As Camellia discovered her superpower at age 6, she struggled to control her power. Much worse on full moon days when she was in her monster form. Her mother Amina used to lock her up in a secure secret room and was never allowed to leave the room until she was back to human.
Year after year Camellia started to get a hold of her power, she slowly started to grow plants of different kinds and even rare species like medicinal herbs.
Due to which, Amina started to run her flower shop, where every kind of plant is available even for medical use. Amina’s flower shop was so popular among the neighbouring villagers too. Everyone used to wonder where would the rare plants come from but no one knows that Camellia has the power to produce and grow plants. So it remained a secret.
As Camellia can grow medicinal herbs, at the age of 16 she learned how to treat people's illness with herbs. Camellia was popular among the villagers too. Due to her kind personality and charming beauty, she was always praised that ‘Amina gave birth to a beautiful girl and raised her well ‘by the villagers and so, many peers her age were envious of her. While Amina was so proud by seeing her daughter.
Whenever Camellia walked down the streets, people treated her like a goddess. But this made Camellia feel sad.
People only like me because of my appearance, once if they get to know my secret that I was born as a monster and I am not one of them , they won't like me at all. Instead they will be afraid of me and want me dead, She thought.
Camellia always felt left out because she was hiding her true self from the people, she was not able to do things she like nor have the freedom to walk down the street in her monster form. She felt like this isn't the world she belongs. She always wondered why she was different from others. She didn't have enough courage to ask her mother about her identity so she decided to find it out herself but didn't know how.
Things were going well. But Amina was worried about her daughter Camellia. As Camellia was already 16 years old, she has only 2 years left until the God fairy’s spell to stop working. Amina wanted to teach her daughter how to live in the society, because Amina can't be able to protect her daughter forever.
So One day Amina came home with some news,
Camellia!, called Amina. I have something to tell you.
‘ Yes mother’, replied Camellia. What is it?
‘We are moving to a city, said Amina with a sad expression on her face.
