Soul Flower

Little Chase

"Haha! Try to catch me with your winged rides!" Tay yelled. Spook only got pissed off because of that line.He made his Pegasus swoop down to catch this silthering asshole. "Wait!" Fruity yelled, as he swooped down to catch up with Spook. Tay shrieked as he saw the Pegasuses chase the snake. "OOOOOOOHHHHH FUUUUUUUUCK!" Tay yelled, as he continued to get away from Spook and Fruity. "Why the hell is he so fast?!" Spook asked, angrly and determined to get that flower from the snake. Fruity noticed how much in rage was in Spook. I never seen him that mad before, is he always like this when he loses his temper? Fruity thought to himself as usual.

It seemed like an hour until they got Tay. "Do you know where the Soul Flower is, snake?" Spook asked, in a serious tone in his voice. "No! I don't have a clue!" Tay lied, dropping the Black Rose onto the ground. Fruity saw this opportunity to grab the rose from the ground. "Hey! Give that back!" Tay begged, as Fruity held the flower in his hands. "I don't think he's telling the truth, Spook." Fruity said, looking at Spook. "Of course he'd be lying." Spook agreed. Tay obviously faked his confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about!" Tay lied again."Stop lying and tell us where the Soul Flower is." Fruity said."Make me." Tay dared. "Spook was does that mean-?" Fruity whispered to Spook. "I dunno." Spook replied. "Mr. Snake, I'm confused on what you mean make me. Please explain." Fruity said. "Simple, try to make me say where the Soul Flower and the rest are!" Tay said, not realizing he mentioned the other roses. "The rest?" Fruity asked, knowing about the other roses Spook described. "Huh? I MEAN WHAT." Tay said, after realizing his mistake. "So you're saying that you stole the other roses?" Spook asked, trying to break Tay, since it seemed that he was stupid. "I didn't steal all I only stole one. My friend's di- WAIT I TAKE MY WORDS BACK-!" Tay said. "Can't take them back now." Spook said."Now where are the other roses and your friends at now?" "I'm not telling! You've already made me look like a fool by telling important information about Lavender's pla-." Tay said, and then stopped himself. "It seems you're making the fool of yourself." Spook noted. "Eh maybe." Tay agreed. "Who's Lavender?" Fruity asked. "None ya beeswax." Tay answered."Do your Pegasuses eat snakes?" Spook asked Fruity. Fruity nodded. "Wait what?" Tay asked, confused..like for real.

"AAAAAAAAAHH! PUT ME DOWN ON THE GROUND! I DON'T WANNA DIE YET!" Tay cried as he begged for mercy as Spook was about to feed him to the Pegasuses. "Then tell us where the magical roses are." Spook demanded."NEVER!" Tay yelled. "Then you're not going to be spared." Spook said. "WHAT?!" Yelled Tay, as he looked at the hungry Pegasuses in front of him. "OKAY OKAY I'LL TELL YOU JUST PUT ME DOWN AND AWAY FROM THOSE FREAKS!" Tay begged. Spook dropped Tay to the ground and the snake slithered away from the Pegasuses. "Was that threat really necessary?" Fruity asked, concerned for Spook. "Probably not. That was one way to make someone talk." Spook replied. Fruity then walked towards Tay. "So will you tell us where the Soul Flower and the other roses are?" Fruity asked kindly. "The flowers are in the Dark Woods, and in a cave." Tay said, shaking in fear. "Dark Woods?" Fruity asked, before Tay then slithered away from them. "That's a forbidden place to go." Spook explained. "Have you been there?" Fruity asked. "No, I've only heard stories about it. A lot of people go there and then poof, they never came back." Spook said. "It's either they died or they became corrupted with the dark energy in there." "How come there's stories about it if people don't ever come back from it?" Fruity continued to ask questions. "Some do escape to tell their stories, and that's it." Spook explained. Fruity then looked at the Black Rose. Was this corrupted? Was this from there? Fruity thought. "We should get a map there. I know a guy that can help." Spook said, as he went on his Pegasus."Didn't you bring a map?" Fruity said. "No, I thought you did. Anyways even if we had a map, the Dark Woods wouldn't be on there anyways." Spook answered. Fruity was disappointed, but went with it anyways."We should get food for the Pegasuses, they're hungry." Fruity said, as he got on his Pegasus. "Agreed, what do they eat other than snakes?" Spook asked. "Berries, wheat and apples." Fruity replied, as he gave the Black Rose to Spook. "Then my friend may have those too." Spook said, as he put the rose in his bag. The two then both gave their Pegasuses the command to fly. "Follow me, I know where my buddy lives." Spook said, as he flew in the air. Fruity followed.

Tay slithered inside Lavender's lair, out of breath. "Lavender! We have a problem." He said. Everyone turned their attention towards Tay. "Where's the rose?" Jay said, seeing that he didn't have the rose. "That's the problem, two numbskulls stole it from me, and forced me to tell them where the other roses are." Tay explained. "Idiot!" Miki yelled, as she slammed her fist onto the wall. "You had one job and failed miserably!" "I'M SORRY THEY HAD FUCKING PEGASUSES AROUND!" Tay cried."We should have someone smarter than Tay to get the Death Rose." Autumn complained. "Can we not complain?" Iku asked, but only got ignored. "Who were those numbskulls that took the rose?" Lavender asked. "Some kid with a bunch of flowers and a dude with some bag he wore with stars on it." Tay answered. "The bag dude had scars on his face too." Stars on his bag? Scars on his face? Iku thought quietly, with a shocked look on his face. Spook? "Hello? Excuse me Mr. Iku, sir." Autumn said, waving her hand in front of Iku's face to get his attention. Iku snapped out of thought. "Huh?" He said. "You seemed shocked by the description of the scarface kid. Do you know him?" Autumn said, acting innocent. "Y-yeah.. he's my son." Iku replied, afraid. "Hmm, did you know your son would do that?" Miki asked, suspiciously. "No!" Iku said. "More visitors eh? This shall be fun!" Jay said, as she smiled sinisterly. "THERE'S GONNA BE BLOOD EVERYWHERE!" Autumn said, excitedly as she jumped up and down. "I dunno about that, kid." Miki said. Iku only sat there, thinking he just put his son's and this other kid's life on the line. "You three can go ahead and stop those kids from fucking up everything we have so far." Lavender demanded. Autumn, Miki and Jay nodded and disappeared. "Tay, you can keep an eye on Iku." "Oki!" Tay said. Iku only felt more guilt than before. "As for you Iku, you can sit there and watch." Lavender said. "Um..okay." Iku said. "Lavender? Are you going to hurt those kids?" "Maybe, maybe not, we'll see." Lavender answered. This only gave more stress to Iku, knowing his son could get hurt or not. Iku hadn't felt this much guilt and stress in years. He only wishes that his son and the other kid doesn't get hurt. Guess he'll have to wait.
