Chapter 1: You a big girl now no more Daddy's little girl

Notes:

Headcanons

Wemmbu is half endling and half ender dragon he doesn't know how to keep his hair clean and not knotted he sometimes he forgets to brush his hair

one of the guards got a little to rough with his wing and that guard almost ripped his wings that's why he flinches whenever someone touches his wings

 

Lettucek does care his prisoners he just doesn't know how to show it that well
Sometimes he leaves gifts at the cells of his prisoners

he tries his best to give his prisoners a good stay at the prison better then any other prison he tries to make feel like a home and not like a prison

 

Zam has really bad hallucinations of different things and sometimes she can't tell between reality and fiction

 

but she pretends that nothing is wrong with her as a coping mechanism she has nightmares about her friends dying she is trying to do therapy

but nothing is working she struggles with loving herself but she is trying to work on it

 

Fantst has a hard time keeping his gills watered and it gets really bad when he is mining, he can't mine for to long or else his gills will dry out so when ever he has the chance

he asks Loppezz to let him have a break the first time he asked to get a break she never let him

his gills got so dried he passed out so now whenever he asks he gets taken to a pond to get his gills wet

 

Baablu has a difficult time with communication it's not that he can't communicate with people it's that he doesn't know how to

he knows he should talk to someone about this but every time he does his words gets twisted up

he doesn't really speak the language that everyone does because he is not entirely from this world

He can't handle crowded spaces he gets overwhelmed very easily

 

Loppezz can be mean sometimes but she doesn't try to be

She can be impulsive and rude and sometimes she hurts the prisoners Lettuce has talked to her about this

Sometimes she forgets that she is important to people so she shuts people out

She has tried to go to therapy but every time she feels like this will get better it gets way worse

Ace doesn't really talk much to the prisoners he just guards them in silence and every time they do try to talk to him he doesn't say a word

The only time Ace does talk when he is with Lettuce

He has attachment issues and whenever he is with the prisoners he tries not to talk to them in fear that he might get attached to them

Chapter Text

Wemmbu is forced out of his cell by some guards normally he would go willingly but these guards in particular are mean they are grabbing his wings and they are trying to pin them together

 

Of course Wemmbu struggles but that makes the guards even more rough all he can hope is that they get done with whatever they are doing

 

He can sense them grab something from a bag but he doesn't know what they grabbed until they put it on him it was a muzzle Wemmbu moved a lot as he tries to get the muzzle off of him

 

Lettuce heard some noises when he was walking with Ace "Ace did you hear that?" Ace looks at him "yea I did" when they check it out they see Wemmbu being restrained "what are you doing" the guards stop as Wemmbu moves more trying to get away

 

"Release him at once" one of the guards step forward "sir I can't do that it was an order to have him restrained" Lettuce looks puzzled "I never ordered you to do this"

 

That guard rubs the back of his neck "we know sir but it was the end queen who ordered it" Lettuce gets closer "who do you take orders from" the guard gulps "you sir" Lettuce sighs "then why are you listening to orders from someone else"

Another one of the guards steps up "sir she has personally requested for us to do this if you wanted the meeting to happen" Lettuce is even more confused "why would Wemmbu be at the meeting"

 

"That is what she requested sir" Lettuce is still confused "but why does Wemmbu need to be there"

 

"I don't know sir but she says that he needs to be their and he needs to be restrained" Lettuce looks down at Wemmbu who is panicking

"Ok but there is no need to be so rough with him he is still human" that calmed Wemmbu down a bit "here I'll take him" the guards nod and they hand Wemmbu off to Lettuce

 

As they are walking to the meeting room someone jumps out of the shadows Ace is the first one to notice the person "who are you" the person doesn't say anything they grab something out their pocket

 

"Lettuce get out the way they have a weapon" as Ace said that the person throws something at Wemmbu Lettuce did you get hit" he shakes his head no

 

Lettuce looks at Wemmbu who looks like he got his with water "you ok Wemmbu" he nods "you sure because your shivering right now"

Lettuce was right with his suspicion because just a couple seconds later Wemmbu turns into a small child

"Oh that's what it does" the person said as Ace takes them away "guard Ariel tell the End queen that we'll be rescheduling the meeting"

Ariel nods "and what should I tell her when she asks why?" Lettuce stops looking at the kid he is holding

"Tell her something came up but don't give her any details" Ariel nods and then she leaves

Lettuce takes Wemmbu to an actual bed "here you go little troublemaker" Lettuce sets Wemmbu down on the bed

Zam wonders when she will be told that she is going to go to work in the caverns she knows she can talk to her cellmate next to her

"Hey Fantst when do you think they are going to call us to work" it takes Fantst a while to respond and when he does it's groggy like he just woke up

"Mh no clue" Zam just holds her knees and waits and then Loppezz walks over "Zam come with me" she nods and gets up "wait is it just me" Loppezz nods her head

"Why is it just me" She questioned "because it is now be quiet" Zam noticed that she was agitated "miss Loppezz what is going on"

Loppezz sits Zam down "Ace will be here shortly don't move" and she doesn't move she just sits there waiting for Ace or Loppezz to enter the room

Someone does enter but it wasn't Loppezz or Ace it was a small light purple colored kid "can I help you"

She asks and when she does this kid looks up at her with these bright eyes

She can't resist those adorable eyes so she sits on the floor pulling the kid close to her

And then a frantic and worried Lettuce runs into the the room "um hello Lettuce" and seeing the small child ok and safe in Zam's arms calms him down

"Hello PrincessZam" he smiles and he kneels down to get down to both of their levels

"Good to see he is safe" Zam looks up at Lettuce "who even is this" Lettuce rubs the back of his neck

"Well this is Wemmbu" Zam is supprised "how is this Wemmbu"

"Funny story" he pauses then he stars again "well we we were headed to a meeting and then someone came out of the shadows and then they threw something at Wemmbu and it turned him into a small child"

Zam nods in understanding "ok" she paused for a second "why was I called in here exactly" Ace walks into the room

"Well Zam we wanted to know if you could help us care of him until he turns back to an adult" she nods "ok I'll help" she says with a smile

___________________________

Lettuce is working on paperwork and he is looking at the Camara to make sure that no one is getting hurt he looks up from his work when he hears a knock at the door

 

"Come in" Ariel steps into the office "sir it's the end Queen she is waiting outside the door to talk" Lettuce lifts his brow "ok let her in" she nods and lets her in then she leaves

 

"How can I help you my lady" she grabs the chair in sits down "why exactly did you want to reschedule the meeting my dear friend"

 

Lettuce rubs the back of his neck "well there was an incident that made me need to reschedule" she smiles and than gets up and she walks over to him "my dear friend I don't care about what happened so you get your purple friend and get to the meeting room"

And than she leaves Lettuce let's out a sigh he gets up and he walks to the cell where Wemmbu and Zam are

"Zam can you pick up Wemmbu and follow me" she nods and she picks up the sleeping child and she follows Lettuce

"Where are we going Lettuce" he turns his head for a second "meeting room" she looks at him with a little bit of confusion

"I thought you rescheduled the meeting" he didn't respond just kept walking and then they stop "ok don't say a word when we're here ok Zam" she nods and they walk in

"How nice of you to join us" she looks at Lettuce and than at Zam "I see we have to guest instead of one and I see the potion is working that good to know"

Zam was confused when she said that "what do you mean did you know that Wemmbu was going to be turned into a kid"

 

The queen gets up and takes Wemmbu from Zam and Zam tries to stop her from taking him but as soon as she does take him he starts crying

"Let him go he clearly doesn't want you to hold him" she brushes her off rocking Wemmbu back and forth in a way that made Zam want to rip Wemmbu from her hands

Zam manages to get Wemmbu back who is still crying he calms down as soon as he is in Zam's arms this does make the Queen angry a bit but she doesn't say anything

 

Lettuce makes them both sit down, the meeting was boring and Lettuce as soon the meeting was over he hugs Zam "thank you for not crashing out on her"

Zam laughs a bit "yea she was really pissing me off" Lettuce instead of taking Zam back to her cell he takes her to a different room

"I had this room built after Wemmbu was turned" he stops smiles and then continues "you can stay in here until Wemmbu turns back there is a comfy bed in that room"

He points to a side room that just so happens to be a bed room "I'll leave you be" Zam hugs Lettuce as he walks away

 

Lettuce smiles then leaves Zam puts Wemmbu down and let's him sleep as she climes into bed.

___________________________

"WEMMBU RUN PLEASE DON'T LET THEM CACH YOU"

Screaming is all he can hear on all sides and all he sees is people dying he is so scared he can feel the blood on his head and he can feel his tears coming down his face

He can feel someone hold him and when he looks up it's not someone he knows he is sure of that he can hear the person is saying telling him that he needs to run

He wants his mom and the person holding him is really calming him down he knows he is not awake but he can't help but want to wake up the soothing person is getting drowned out by screaming

And explosions and it makes he even more scared

 

____________________

Zam was sleeping and then she gets woken up by the sound of Wemmbu crying so she gets up and picks Wemmbu up and he calms down for a bit then he starts crying again

"Shh buddy it's ok shh" when Wemmbu finally calms down Zam is back in her bed and holding on to him

Lettuce went to check on Zam and Wemmbu when he heard crying and as he gets into the room he see both Zam and Wemmbu sleeping peacefully

So he heads back in his office and he gets more of his work done.
