Dani's Harem [Reverse Harem]

Trent - This mate thing is complicated

"What the fuck?"

My lungs feel tight and I'm looking around this fucking garden in confusion. How the fuck did this get here? I didn't make a garden. I didn't even think about one but I probably should have with the whole dog and everything. How did this happen, who made this? My heart lurches and my mind reaches out trying to find the mental connection to my brother. Hope has my lungs frozen and heavy disappointment releases them when I find none of my brother's signatures. There hasn't been one here in years and yet there is always this small hope lingering.

If my brother didn't make this then who, only we have ever controlled our mental realm, no-one else even knows about it...Fuck. I twist my body to find both Nathan and Dani walking around inspecting the garden and following the barking of the huge dog who I am convinced isn't all it seems. We walk passed potted plants, benches, and even statues. Somehow the garden is some sort of throwback to the eighteen hundred's, with weird modern twists. Like that random pink flamingo. We pass a large pond with fish swimming inside and Dani gasps when one of the fish jumps above the water sending it spraying everywhere and the drops quite seriously sparkle. 

Confusion swarms my brain as we walk along this twisting path until we end up at an open gate in a huge rose bush boundary. It is then that I notice the giant rose bush that encircles the entirety of the garden and even around the cottage, whose outsides now match the one from the woods. I don't understand how these changes have happened. I follow the others through the gate and hear Dani's gasp before I see the humungous tree in the center of a grove. It looks somewhat familiar but I don't recognize it. Dani start's running towards the tree and that's when I see the dog being held between the tree's branches, by the tree. There are vines wrapped around him and he's barking up a storm while struggling and wiggling. The tree appears to be sentient and the dog doesn't seem to be hurt just held.

Dani, however, runs towards the Tree screaming at Jock to get down, and strangely enough, the Tree puts him down. He is dropped to the ground softly but a vine flies out and snaps beside the Dogs ass. he whines and cowers. Showing his submission the tree appears to accept it and a vine runs softly over his coat. Seeing that the dog isn't being held captive anymore Dani stops running but keeps heading towards the tree. Nathan catches up to her and tries to stop her forward motion but she just waves him away and keeps going. 

A couple more vines drop from the branches and start scratching at the dirt and I see they are covering a wet puddle with dirt then I realize what has happened and start laughing. Dani jerks to a stop and turns to stare at me before she can say anything I speak.

"It seems your dog went for a pee on a sentient Tree, who did not appreciate it and punished him." I snort and carry on laughing when I hear the dog grumble and walk to Dani with his tail between his legs and ears flat. "Oh Jock, you didn't". She sounds so disappointed, and I snort. 

She walks up to the Tree which straightened when she spoke, she hesitantly puts her hand on the trunk, "I am so terribly sorry that Jock went to the bathroom on you, I promise you he will never do it again." She says sweetly. 

The Tree seems to shiver at her touch and then a number of vines drop from the tree and wrap around her, instead of panicking she starts to giggle and gasps that the leaves tickle. As she is held by the vines they start to form around her and a few seconds later Dani is sitting on what appears to be a tree swing made entirely of vines. She squeals in excitement as the tree moves her back and forth, and she closes her eyes and throws her head back when she is thrust forward.

It appears she needed this, so I conjure a gazebo with seating, a table, and snacks. Taking a seat I start to think over the strange happenings in my mental realm and keep getting distracted by Dani's laughter as Jock pretends to lunge for her feet and the tree twirls around to avoid him. After some time I finally realize what the tree reminds me of, that make-believe tree from the wizard films. I straighten when I recognize it and start to take a closer look at my surroundings, I start to recognize more things from various films and books and am even more confused.
