The courtyard pt.2

Author's note

There was mentions of needles in this chapter I will put a warning before it happens so those who are squeamish with those things, read at your own discretion :) I want you all to be comfortable while reading

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You finally arrived at the courtyard, opening the grand doors to the outside world

Your eyes were met with huge rows of flower pots ready to be transferred in the ground, a shovel, a trowel, a hoe, three large bags of soil, a watering can and a bucket

Your mouth hanged slightly stunned at the sight of hard work ahead of you

'I just know my back is gonna be aching after this..' you sighed 'I guess I better get started'

You tied your hair up in a bun and put on your gloves and hat on, you knelt down at one of the four large squares of grass starting to pluck out the dead weeds placing them in the bucket to be discarded later on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finishing up with all the dead weeds in the courtyard you disposed of the insides of the bucket and picked up the trowel

Mapping out the placement of the flowers, you started making holes in rows close to each other so no soil would be shown when all the flowers would be planted

Grabbing four of the flowerpots you placed them at your side and took one of the beautiful daisies out the pot and smiled 'my favourite flowers' you proceeded to clean off the old soil to let the roots implant in the newly fresh one

Repeating the same task over and over and over again, taking hours, you were finally done 3 of the sections "one more section to go" you arched your back to stretch it out, you were right, your back aching, longing for a break, the scorching hot sun beaming down on your this whole time didn't help either

Not noticing you were being watched a shadow was cast upon you as you were planting a flower "h-hm?" You turned around to be met by one of her daughters, Cassandra

'Uh oh..' you got up and wiped the soil off of your knees

"U-uhm.. do you need anything? Lady Cassandra?"

She stayed quiet for a while, the silence was loud

"I don't get why mother likes you so much.." she whispered under her breath

Your cheeks got flushed with a pale crimson red 'Lady Dimitrescu..likes me?...no! It couldn't be in 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 way.. right?'

Lost in thought Cassandra glared at you, sickle in hand, with anger in her eyes she struck at you, slicing open your arm and tearing your new blouse

you yelp in pain and it caused you to fall flat on the ground being more vulnerable to the armed woman, you held your arm protectively not wanting anymore scars than the ones her and her other two sisters forged at your very first encounter

You watched as she trampled all the flowers you've recently planted in rage "maybe mother will think you did this, not me, and she'll finally get rid of you!" She smirked

Your heart shattered, you just watched hours of your hard work get burnt to the ground in an instant, you teared up a bit, you sat there watching knowing you couldn't stop without wanting to shed more blood
