"b00."

"ARAFAGH!!!"

My legs betrayed me as my head flew up and my hands smashed the trees, my face showered with falling twigs and berries.

i slowly watched the world roll sideways my neck made love to the curb, smothering the ground with pebbles and dirt.

"Well, that was quite a performance you put on there sweetheart."
A soft voice sings.

My face meets porcelain white, light cheeks enveloped by raven streaks.

The woman's smile was curved and subtle, the edge of her chin and even her cat like eyes were drawn sharply like they would cut deep, the prickly thorns on a blossomed rosebud.

"Care to have some help?" She chorused gently.

It was only now, i had realised that she was right next to me, bent over in white heels that could clobber me.
"Miss? Can u hear me?" My thoughts fade away.

I blinked, trying to find the words to say to such a mysterious lady.

"Oh! Yes please."

Her hand quickly curled around my back and just like that, she had entered my world.

The small framed woman drew me back up high like i was a fertilized plant that had once wilted.

She was surprisingly strong for one that looked so weak in the arms!
"Now that that's done and dusted." She says brushing the pebbles off my uniform in a motherly fashion.

"Care to tell me why a teenage girl like you was falling out a random tree?"
No.

"Not to be rude Miss but it's private matters only."

Cruella de rose starts snorting with crazy giggles. I just stare at her in confusion.

"I'm so concerned why are you in a fit of laughter?"

"Oh my, please excuse my manners dear." She wipes her face with her long hands.

"Ah, and i thought rich people were insane here."
"Huh?"
And just like that she yanked my hand and started dragging me down to the garden entrance where the patio doors were wide open. "Kai, call security!"

I slapped my hand over her mouth in shock before she could say any more "NO!" i hissed. 

"Briar?" My Father's voice suddenly drew me away from her muffled shrieks. His footsteps stamped the ground in great brick bangs. I dragged my legs and a muted "Briar." backwards, taking advantage of her shock to get us away from the paved gardens before her strength kicked in. He was Close!

I shoved briar and myself behind the next turn, as our legs amply flew behind the brick wall our bodies landing behind the house in a pool of daisies, swimming in newly cut grass of the  garden. Briar choked on air as my elbows dug into her sides, without any warning from the fall.

"I'm so sorry!" i whispered haughtily, staring down at her. She was terrified! Her eyes were large and pupils shrinking, mouth opening and closing like an elevator door. I sighed. At least Dad didn't-

A large hand immersed out of no where grabbing Briars long heels. SHIT!!! They were sticking out!! 

"BRIAR?"
