《roses》 ☆bfb/bfdi au☆ [COMPLETE]

13. vines

pin

h...huh...? where...where am i going?

thud.

i make an impact with the ground. my arms and legs are tied tightly around me, restricting any movement whatsoever.

"mmph!" i hear. it sounded limited and muffled, and i heard other sounds-crying, heavy breathing...there were other people too?

oh.

oh...oh no.

i open my eyes slowly, terrified of the sight that would appear before me. i look around-it's dark, but i can make out silhouettes.

of my teammates.

i try to scream, but my mouth was also covered. it felt sharp and it made it agonizingly painful to move, just like the restraints on my limbs, and i realized it was vines.

then, moonlight filled the room. the air of the night (how long was i out!?) poured into the space, engulfing us like death swallowing us whole. i looked around now that i could see a bit better-the old wooden floor and overgrowth led me to realize this place is leafy's manor.

a shadowy figure made its way inside, picked up a candle off the floor, and proceeded to light it. once it was lit, we could see who it was.

leafy! wait...leafy?

motions of recognition from the rest of my team surprised the individual as a smile crept onto its face.

no...this doesn't look right...she doesn't look right...

"ah, i'm so glad everyone's awake! did you all have a good rest?"

more 'mmph!'s, movement, and whining were made throughout the room in protest. i was too scared to do anything.

it ignores us. "well, now that we're all here, i'm very excited to start! does everyone understand what we'll be doing?"

silence.

"ugh. alright then. i told loser and cake since they were the first ones here." it reaches a hand out towards them, and seconds later a vine comes out from behind it to grab the two. they were picked up off the ground and were carried to the front of the room. the figure made them remain floating in the air, but the vine covering their mouths slipped away, allowing them to speak. it left a smear of blood, the fluid seeping out from splinters lodged in their faces.

"would you ever-so-kindly share, loser?" it smiled gingerly.

when everyone saw the blood pouring down their faces, struggling didn't seem like a good option anymore. yet, loser and cake continued. loser took a deep, hoarse breath before he continued to squirm.

"guys!" he cries.

sharp red eyes narrowed at him.

"don't listen to it! don't listen to rose!"

it reaches out. a vine slithers its way to his head.

"you need to get out of here!"

my eyes widened.

"it's going to k-"

thud.

screams leave cake as the vine wraps around loser's head and proceeds to throw him against the wall. he falls to the ground, crumpled and shriveled up.

"that's not what we discussed, loser," rose hisses. "i guess i'll have to tell it myself." the vine glides towards him once more, this time planting itself in his head, like a hand gripping a basketball. the same is done to cake, and they both briefly pass out. they wake up, and one of their eyes is replaced with a bright red color.

"leafy wants revenge on firey," cake spits out, monotone. "she was so tired of being ignored by him, so tired of being shunned, so tired of being hated by her teammates. all of it was because of firey."

but...wouldn't it be better to just talk it out!? and-and why does she need us to do it?

loser answers my question, as if he was reading my mind. "which is why we have to help her. she's too weak and frail-she could easily die in his hands. she can't even get close to him anyways. but, with teamwork, we can beat it in his head that all of this is because of him."

rose steps forward between the two of them, motioning to us. "you've seen what i can do. now will you listen to me? you don't have a choice, really."

it was right. we didn't.

i'm so sorry, firey.

★★★★★

this chapter's drawing is most definitely not my best effort also i realized i messed up like halfway through 💀

also idk why im clarifying now but rose doesn't have a backstory
(i just think a lot of antagonist's backstories are always "a love one died" "i was mistreated" etc. Nah rose is just an asshole lol)

Anyways fnf ddto bad ending SLAPS it's so good 😫 especially markov
