Work Text:
The Flower street blooming company were all gathered around Bri and Sam Mcgee in the hospital after suffering an attack from the wilts and the agency had burned. A nurse walks up to the group and says
"Excuse me! Someone named Bellamy has signed in to visit them both!"
Everyone looks relatively confused as Raven speaks up, her voice rough and tired
"I'm sorry, we don't know a Bellamy.." the nurse looks up and shrugs
"They're already here”
‘Bellamy’ walks in flicking their hair and speaks in a voice that you normally wouldn't take seriously
“Why hello there! I have an amazing contract for you Bri! Just sign there and you won't pay a dime for your medical bills!”
Raven freezes at the contract and tells Bri to not sign it and to look it over, Bri reads it over and it's a contract to sign her soul away to the wilts. Bri looks at Apollo and gives him a look pleading him to rip it up and he does. Raven looks up at Bellamy and says
‘Why are you here Bluebell?”
Bluebell laughs and says in an almost mocking voice
“I was told to come here by Yarrow! But that's not the point! We wilts have a ball and we all need dates to it! It only happens every 100 years! I'll pay you all a million dollars and you can split it evenly and I'll pay for your medical bills, how does that sound?” Apollo speaks up in a gay voice
“Ooooh can I be with Marigold?!” and Bluebell glances at him
“No! I'm choosing! Anyways! Come with me, my willing peons's! BUTLERS!! Come bring them to the carriages and bring them to the manor to get changed!”
Around 12 butlers file into the hospital room and guide each person in the group except for Raven, they drag her to the carriages because Bluebell had thought she would run.
A few hours later everyone had changed into elegant ball gowns and tuxedos and as they walk out of the changing rooms Bluebell stands there with 4 other people, Yarrow, Marigold, Wolfsbane and Chrysanthemum some transformed into their wilt forms some not as they start to huddle with each other discussing who will go with who. A few minutes later they all stand up and Bluebell claps their hands together.
“Alright my willing peons's! I will assign whose date you'll be! Venison you'll be with Yarrow, Apollo you'll be with Marigold, Green you'll be with Chrysanthemum, Bri you'll be with Wolfsbane and Raven you'll be with me!”
Venison groans as he steps forward annoyed he was to be with someone other than his boyfriend
“Do I have to be with Yarrow? I mean I could just go alo-” Bluebell cuts him off
“Yes you do! Now everyone in a carriageeee” Everyone gets into separate carriages and sits across their dates.
With Marigold and Apollo
“Soooo Marigold, you wanna dance at the ball with me?” Apollo asks in a flirty voice and Marigold looks absolutely disgusted and responds
“No. And I don't like people who are very up front with what they want.”
Apollo gets up and sits next to him
“Come on pleaseeeee?” Marigold gets up and goes back across from Apollo
“Absolutely not. Now leave me alone”
With Green and Chrysanthemum
They both just stare at the scenery outside.
With Bri and Wolfsbane
Wolfsbane is sitting there reading some schoolbooks when Bri speaks up her voice soft
“So.. what are you reading? Anything fun?”
Wolfsbane looks up slightly and then looks back down at her book and mutters
“Just schoolbooks…”
Bri looks at her and asks
“Well what kind?”
And Wolfsbane looks tired and irritated
“Math, science, history”
With Yarrow and Venison
Yarrow sits across from Venison, her arms crossed and one leg over the other as she speaks
“I know you probably don't trust me right now, hell I wouldn't if i were you” Venison uses his mask to glance at Yarrow, and he says scared and irritated
“No shit I don't trust you?? You tried to hurt Sam Mcgee! And you have our carriage door locked.”
Yarrow looks at Venison with something close to pity but it's hard to tell
“Look I'm not going to kill you tonight. I can promise you that much, I don't go back on promises” Venison looks suspicious of Yarrow
“Then why do this to us? Why hurt Sam, why hurt Bri?!” Yarrow sighs and says
“Look. I'm only being told what to do okay and besides I know you wouldn't want me to kill you. You want something... or someone else to kill you”
Raven and Bluebell
Raven is sitting in front of Bluebell, she looks confused about everything going on
“So Bluebell, why did you have to kidnap us?” Bluebell looks at Raven and smirks
“Well Yarrow needed to talk with one of you all…. And decided that this would be the best way! But a few others will be there.. eugh..” Raven looks at Bluebell confused on who their talking about
“Who else is going to be there Bluebell” Bluebell smiles and says
“Why the other original Blooms! Bleeding heart, Alchemilla, Lilac, and Rose!” Raven looks up at Bluebell
“Did you also kidnap them..?” Bluebell freezes and then laughs
“Of course not! Ooooh we're here!” Raven looks out the carriage window in Awe as she's never seen anything like this… as they all to as he goes behind the bar and takes the alcohol from behind the bar and chugs it down causing her to sigh in annoyance and to walk away. As she walks around, she sees a tall man and she walks over by him,
“Hello! I'm Raven”
The man looks up, his right hand gloved.
“I'm Alchemilla but I'm sure you already knew that.” Raven perks up
“Yeah I have! You're one of the original blooms right?” Alchemilla nods slightly
“I do have to run but it was nice meeting you!” He stands up and walks away leaving Raven alone as she sighs and takes a sip of her drink. Later on in the night Bleeding Heart and Lilac gather the group together to talk to them all about something important, they gather into a separate room where the wilts can't hear any of them speak. Bleeding Heart looks at the group
“So, the reason why we gathered you all here is because we think that you all should go under new management…” Venison groans and grumbles drunkenly
“Nooooo… I like Sammmmm..” Raven sighs and looks at Bleeding Heart
“Would you like me to take him out of the room so he's not a distraction during the meeting?” Bleeding Heart nods
“Yes, that would be great actually Raven.” Raven proceeds to drag him out of the meeting room and lets him sit outside the door. When she walks back in Bleeding Heart speaks up
“So as I was saying, we believe you all need new management.” Raven speaks up
“I agree, Sam is a bit….off. I mean he rarely speaks normally, he acts stupid and he doesn't help up like an actual leader would.” Bleeding Heart nods
“Does anyone have anything against this?” No one else says a word… at least the people in the room. Venison had gone out to find Yarrow, after all he was only staying with the group because he was Loyal to Sam. How can one be loyal when the person they are loyal to get taken? Next to the rushing river Venison stands, staring off into the water. Yarrow steps out of the grass and next to him
“Let me guess. Sam was taken from you?” Venison nods and Yarrow keeps talking
“I can give you three options.. One, you join us. Two, you forget about this conversation or three I kill you. What will it be?” Vension looks up from the water, the sound of it almost covering his voice
“I'm not sure…I-I need time to decide.” Yarrow nods and takes Venison away. Somewhere safe.. Somewhere where she can… do it cleanly if needed.
Raven walks outside looking for Venison when she hears screams and she turns around her heart pumping with adrenaline as she sees a body being torn apart, blood flies everywhere as her hands start to shake. She's terrified, terrified that she’ll die like her family did, terrified that she’ll kill Bluebell just like she did to her parents.
“What do you want?! Go away!” she screams, her voice cracking from fear. Bluebell says in a calm tone
“What? Is this a new emotion that you are feeling? Are you afraid of me? Are you terrified?”
Raven stares at Bluebell
“No! I…” Her voice softens and cracks and her hands lower “Yes.. yes I am.. I’m fucking terrified.. I don't want to die..” Bluebell stares at her
“Well, I'm not going to kill you, I was given orders not to by him. Stupid really.” Raven looks up at Bluebell, sighs and starts to walk away and Raven hesitates to ask them something. Bluebell glances over their shoulder
“Yes Raven? Do you have something to ask me?” Raven blurts out what shes been wanting to ask
“Do you need more information? I can give it.” Bluebells face lights up
“Actually yes we do! Perfect!” Raven takes a few steps closer
“Is Van a part of you guys as well?” Bluebell nods and notices Raven glancing at the bloody pearl necklace they are holding and holds it up
“You like it?” Raven nods slightly and Bluebell walks over and puts it on Raven's neck, choking her slightly, the guilt streaming down her neck in a bloody mess.
