Normal POV
Belle and Blossom were running down the cobberstone streets, Belle was holding a bushel of lavender, lilacs, and forget-me-nots and Blossom was holding the last bloom of red roses and peach blossoms.
"Oh, we're gonna be so late, why did I let you talk me into picking flowers?" Blossom huffed.
"Cousin Blossy, peace and crackers, you wanted to pluck that peach blossom tree...blushing and stuff, I wonder why." Belle giggled, "Does it involve a certain toughie woughie?"
Blossom was blushing brighter.
"I wanted to pluck flowers 'cause-" Belle and Blossom came into the Pub as Brianna was at the bar, it was already getting busy thanks to the out of town folks who came for the Fall Festival.
"Yo Wrench!" One of the male customers waved his mug in the air, "ANOTHER PINT!"
"You've got one more time to call me a wrench and it's your ass." Brianna instantly snapped at the out of town customer. The Customer shrunk in size at her glare.
"So she's a Siren?" Another out of town customer asked one of the regular.
"Oh yeah, a lovely bloom on that one eh and a fiesty little thing to boot. But you should see the other lovelies here, make a man wish he was young again."
"But a Siren and no man has gone missing?"
"No...but-"
"Oh man...A Siren, That's exotic."
One of the townfolk looked at Blossom and Belle and whispered, "On now there's the other two, a couple of Vixens."
One of the out of town men looked over, "They are, OH! They are. That one with the bow, she's cute but that other one, she's too too cute."
Blossom smiled and gave him a wink as Belle giggled.
Brianna shouted, "It's about time you Vixens got here! You know we get super busy with all these out of town folkies!"
Blossom winced at Brianna's wrath but then she sighed and rolled her eyes,"Sorry! SORRY!"She quickly removed her cloak, hearing the whistling that suddenly filled the Pub, "Here let me take that. Belle could you take my cloak to the kitchen," Blossom grabbed the tray from Brianna as she gave it to Belle.
Brianna sighed in relief but still hurried along," Belle, will ya get a move on. I'm gettin orders 'rowin out da door," Brianna covered her mouth as Belle was laughing, "Great, now I'm starting to sound like Maggie."
"Well, she is your gran gran, and it's a very cute accent, don'tcha know." Belle giggled, mocking the accent.
"Just get cooking please."
"Blossom!" Randy instantly yelled the minute he walked into the Pub, Blossom turned around but she instantly frowned and went right back to work.
Belle cheered in delight, "Oh yeah, I got a new idea. C'mon Mina and Jackie, time to cook."
Randy walked towards her, "Blossom, hey there."
"Excuse me, but as you can see I'm busy and have no time for...well..you." She said coldly as she continued from one table and went to another table, an out of town man with a toothy grin, as he was looking at Blossom up and down.
"Hello Kind Sir, welcome to the Shire Moonlight Pub, what may I get you?"
"How about a Sweet Heart like you?"
Blossom sighed, "Oh boy."
She just smiled, "Sir, I'm not on the Menu. Why don't I give you another minute to decide your order?" Blossom was about to walk away, but the man grabbed her around the wrist.
"Name ye price, Sweet heart."
"Excuse me." Blossom had a tick mark on her forehead but she strained her face as she force herself to smile, "How about a swift kick into a 'special' area, Sir?"
He stood up and got close to her face, "Oh c'mon Love, don't be like that. A sweet thing like you, must know how to give a good time."
Randy puffed up his chest, trying to look tough as he was walking towards Blossom.
"Now see here, why don't you leave her-" Randy placed his hand on the man's shoulder.
The man instantly pushed him to the ground, "BACK OFF, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY!"
"Randy, I don't need your help, thank you very much." Blossom tried to pull her wrist out of the man's grip but he pulled back, smiling, until another hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey Pal, I'm sure she doesn't want you touching her." A Rough voice said.
The man snapped," BUGGER OFF!" He was about to back hand the person, but the figure caught the hit.
It was Buttercup, who looked beyond irritated.
The man looked at her for a second, despite her lack of feminine 'appearance', she had a lovely face and slender body, "Oh...hello there, another Lovely, you must be the Dark Beauty...*looking at her up and down* I must say, you are just as pretty even without...the 'requirements'."
Buttercup's forehead had two tick marks, "Pretty?"
One of the town folk man and his wife looked up, the wife sighs, "Oh dear, looks like another man..."
"Now, now, there's enough of me around, how about Cutie, want in on this?" He smacked her rear hard. The slap echoed through the pub. Buttercup looked so shocked.
"He didn't just..."The Husband shook his head, he and his wife got up from their table and slide it away from the scene. Everyone else saw that this lovely Dark Beauty was shaking, her face was turning right, her hands were glowing green and they slide their tables away from them.
"Why you little..."Buttercup just grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up from the floor, even though she wasn't yelling, her voice was oozing with rage, "You bastard...no...you little piece of Donkey Shit, I'm gonna turn you into fertilizer," Buttercup held up a hand, a green energy ball formed in her hand.
"Cupie!" Belle just appeared out of nowhere.
"Belle, move it." Buttercup hissed.
"Oh c'mon Cupie, you don't really want to turn him yucky yuck...especially since it's time for tea." Belle gave Buttercup her famous pouty face: her sweet lavender eyes got bigger, she poked out her bottom lip, and she covered one finger over her lip, "Right? Cupie?"
Every guy had hearts in their eyes, even the man looked at her, "SO CUTE!"
Buttercup sighed, she closed her fist punched him in the face and Belle smiled at her conquest.
"Oh my! YOU'RE CUTE!" The man stood up and held Belle's hand, "YOU ARE THE ADORABLE BEAUTY THAT I HEARD ABOUT! YOU'RE THE LOVELIEST OF THE LOVELIES."
Belle smiled uncomfortably, "Oh my, it's tea time...we can't interrupt tea-"
"Tea time! Who cares about tea when there's such a sweetie here-"
Buttercup popped her knuckles, happy, as Belle gasped in horror...
"Now you've done it." Brianna rolled her eyes and sadly shook her head.
"No Tea! You insult me sir!" A TEA HATER! Oh the cruel reality! You...you work with the evil...that's right. You're a Jabberwock, you're a puppet...I don't like puppets, they have no soul, Cupie!" Belle yelled in horror and mock tears, "This man hates tea."
"Of course," Buttercup smiled wickedly as she punched the man in the face, sent him flying out of the Pub, she turned around, with her fist clenched, "Any of you kind sirs, wanna tell me how cute I am?"
"All better now, now...Cupie, why don't you help us out? Wouldn't it be fuzzy peachy keen fun...right guys?"
The guys looked nervous, as they saw Buttercup this lovely but strong female, who just punched a guy. The Pub seemed a little quiet.
"Well that was clever of Belle, "Blossom whispered, "With Buttercup here, I bet those guys will be better behave."
"Or they might think she's one of them and ask-."
Buttercup was instantly in her face, lighting shot from both of their eyes, "Want me to send you flyin' too?"
The men looked scared as both girls were clenching their fists.
"All I'm saying is, we were doing pretty well without you punching the guests-"
"You're just mad that you didn't get the chance, banshee."
"Oh, I'm about to punch someone alright." Brianna growled back, "Pixie."
Several tick marks appeared on Buttercup's forehead, "Pixie, huh?"
Both magical energy were glowing...plants and vines were growing through the floor boards.
"Belle, do something!" Blossom yelled.
Belle was looking through Blossom's basket, pulling out some of her flowers, "Awww, Cousin Blossy, do I have to?"
"Yes you do...you'll the only one who can...they're gonna tear this place apart."
"But I wanted to show Cupie my magic, "Belle giggled as she waved her hands over the lavender, purple magic energy waved of it, the fresh smell of lavendar filled the room, "Look Cupie, I did it, the Breezy Breeze of Smellies."
Buttercup coughed as Belle came between them, with her big puppy dog eyes, looking so exciting.
"Nice job *cough* Window...someone." Buttercup coughed as Brianna was coughing too and she opened the door and pushed the chair against it, but the customers enjoyed the smell, they seem to calm down and relaxed.
"This is the best pub I have ever been too."
"Hurray, I did good." Belle cheered.
"But less magical energy next time." Buttercup coughed.
"Of course, maybe you could stay and help with the big orders, right Brianna?" Blossom asked, "It's been such a while that Buttercup helped us."
"Oh hold up, I just came here 'cause the twins went some of Belle's cookies."
"And you could get 'em afterwards...c'mon Cupie...please?" Belle asked sweetly, her head tilted to the side a little, her eyes closed, and her smile widened.
"Awwwww." All the men chimed in.
All the men were staring with hearts in their eyes and blushing.
"I don't care if she is an Enchantress, she's too cute."
"I thought all Enchantresses were ugly and evil, but she's an angel."
'Fine...fine." Brianna sighed, "Whatever...I just can't wait til Maggie comes back and deal with this crap. Belle, get a move on, we've got orders."
"Alright Fang, " Buttercup sighed too, as she left two heavy trays to a party of ten in the corner, Fang followed her around.
Belle was back in the kitchen, preparing another order, she was softly singing as her magic just flowed from her fingers. She was twirling, beaming with this happiness and Mina and Pumpkin Head Jack were pulling bread from the hot stove oven: (I don't own this song, it's called Become the Wind)
If only I could be wherever you are
If only I could know what's on your mind
If only I could tell you what's on mine
If only I could show you how I feel
Mina and Jack were puzzled, as this strange color came on Belle's face. Her apron floated to her and wrapped itself around, she picked up a big wooden spoon. She waved her spoon in the air, and her magic flowed in the kitchen as it came to life.
If only you would look my way just this once
If only you could listen to my heart
If only you could see the love in my eyes
If only you would stay and be with me
As a bowl of batter was stirring itself, floated right up to her, she dipped her finger and tasted it, "Hmmmm, more sugar." She chuckled, a pot of stew was stirring itself, the spoon lifted to Belle's lips, she licked her lips, "Perfect."
She pointed towards the bowls, the pot lifted itself up and the poured into the bowls. Mina and Jack just finished slicing the loaf.
"Way to go, you two!" Belle chuckled, her freckles almost seem to bounce at her cheerful laugh. With one wave of her spoon, the slices lifted into the bowls and just as Blossom came rushing in.
"Oh...thanks Belle." She grabbed the bowls and placed them on her wooden tray.
The kettle hissed and let out a loud whistle, "Oh Tea time."
I've never ever felt this way before
And now I only want to see you more
Oh darling would you take me by the hand
Together we could fly across the land
As Belle twirled around, she twirled right into someone's arms.
"Hello there my lovely dove." It was Johnny Cosmo. Belle almost lost her complete concentration, but before anything could hit on the ground, she lifted up her spoon, her magic flowed and the kitchen was back to life.
"Oh hiya Jamie." Belle smiled uncomfortably as she was trying to get out of his grip.
"Oh you are an angel. I wanted to tell you the wonderful news, I'm getting married." Johnny smiled.
Belle struggled again but Johnny had a tight grip on her, "Oh...that's peachy...peachy and rosy. But you don't want your wifey to be seeing this, righty right?" Belle winked that's when Jack wrapped its vines arms around his legs, just as Mina climbed up his legs and between him and Belle. She pushed up against them, hard enough that Johnny grip was loosened, his balance was off and he fell on the floor. Belle was holding Mina.
"Oh my my my my, Mina you've gotten strong. You're not hurt, are you Jonathan?"
"Oh Dove, you are a saint, do I have your blessing?" He sat up and held her hand.
Brianna calm rushing through the door as the House Special :Pumpkin Stew with sweet honey bread. She instantly stomped, pissed as ever.
"Johnny, How many times have I told you! STOP GOING THROUGH THE BLOODY BACK DOOR!" Brianna stood right beside him, tapping her foot, "Do I have to teach you the same lesson as Mitch? NOT TO MENTION-"
"Oh Bree Bree, peace and crackers, Johnny here was telling me the good news, he's getting married."
Johnny was so shocked, "You said my name! Does that mean? I have your blessing."
"Ok." Belle just shrugged her shoulders as Johnny got up. He bowed and cheered as he ran out the door.
Brianna sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Any more visiors?"
"Not that I know of." Belle smiled, she waved her spoon and more bowls of soup and bread floated down right on Brianna's tray, "Now c'mon, we should have a tea party to celebrate."
"If only Mitch would get married and leave me the hell alone." Brianna walked out of the kitchen.
The evening was coming, Buttercup sat at the table, completely exhausted as the last customers were leaving and Brianna closed the door behind them, locking it by putting a large block of wood over the door handle, Belle did the same with the back door.
"And I thought farming was hard, I don't know how you guys do it." Buttercup sighed in exhaustion, Fang was sitting on the table in front of Buttercup.
"Tea time." Belle chimed in, as she waved her spoon, a tea tray floated up, Mina and Jacck placed a snack tray on the table. Buttercup instantly sat up, grabbing Fang and backing away from the table as the tea tray was wobbly.
"Careful Belle, that's hot." Brianna warned. The three girls sighed in relief as the tray landed gently on the table.
"Well you're getting better." Blossom smiled as she saw the sweet cake and cookies, "Oh...is that your ginger spice cake?"
"Yes. And some chamomile and Lilac tea. We should celebrate..."
"Celebrate?" Buttercup was already grabbing some cookies and putting them in a satchel.
"Oh yes, Johnny has given up the chase and marrying someone else. Now if only the other boys would get the hint.
Later on
Blossom and the others decided to stay the night...well after they left to tell their parents and came back with bags. Brianna was in front of her window, in a gown. Her hair unbraided as she was brushing her hair. A shadowy figure was hurrying past when it stopped and looked out the window, a pair of eyes glistened as it behold the beauty. Its eyes widened...but then the figure hurried away as it saw someone was coming.
Back at the Castle (Sun rise)
Blitz came back into the Castle, seemed out of breath. The Jester was waiting in the shadows.
"C'mon, in the Library." The Jester whistled. Both of them went softly but quickly down the hall. The suits of armors that stood in the hallways, looked at them but Blitz just shushed them and they faed each other.
They went into the Library, where Brick , the Maid, Manservant, and Librarian were waiting, there was a loud roar and rumbling from upstairs.
"His Majesty Butch, is trying to calm him down, but its not working." The Maid shook at the noise.
"Of course not, not with that Mother and Advisor around whispering in his ears, but...it won't matter...not if you complete the bait." Brick said to Blitz.
"Yes. It was risky, too risky...but the town was busy...with the fall festivall..."
The Jester looked closely at Blitz's face, "Hmmmm...what's up with your face then. You've been blushing-"
Blitz covered his mouth as they heard the door opened.
"What are you guys doing?" Butch asked, shocking everyone as he appeared out of nowhere, everyone except the Librarian jumped up.
"Will you stop that?" The Manservant yelled, he was shushed by the Librarian.
"Sorry."
"Well,"The Maid looked concerned and hopefully but Butch shook his head.
"He won't listen...each year it's getting worst, it's taking over him...and his mother doesn't help."
"Oh that poor lady, those dungeons are cold and damp, not only bad for the complexion."
"Well...that's why plan B is a go. Our Captian of the Guards just captured and returned something..."Brick said.
"And the letter is secured too." Blitz said.
"This should guarantee some results, my plans have never failed."
Butch sighed, irritated with Brick's arrogance, "Most of the time."
"Jealous much, she'll come this time. I bet you 20 jewels."
"You're on."
"I just hope so, that poor lady won't make it."
Brianna's POV
I woke up the next day, to smelling...smelling something delicious.
I was in my bed, while Blossom was sleeping right next to me, in my bed of course. Belle, Fang and Buttercup were in Maggie's bed, in our one bed room and a barrel bath and outhouse downstairs, by the backdoor. It was a little cramped with the four of us, but I rather had them here, then being alone.
I rubbed my eyes as my vision was blurry, and saw that Belle was gone. I wrapped myself around in my robe and went down stairs. Belle was singing away and cooking.
"Oh Bree Bree, guess what? I had a dream...about flat cakes...and lookie...I call them Pan Cakes," She lifted the pan up, at the strange golden brown cake, "Now wash up and wake the others, or no fast break."
"You mean, breakfast." I sighed, I grabbed my clothes and went down to the back, grabbing a key, a bucket of water from the kitchen and a lit candle. I went out through the back down and right next to it was the outhouse and bath barrel room. I unlocked the door with a key and carrying all the stuff in and locking the door again. I placed the candle on the floor and my clothes on top of the privy lid. I removed my gown and grabbed one bucket with soap. ( I don't own this song either)
I started to sing as I was in the barrel, scrubbing my body with the soap. I just couldn't help it, I just felt like singing everytime I was in water. My hands became webbed..
Upon one summer's morning
I carefully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping
Where I met a sailor gay.
My skin became smooth...super smooth. I remembered Mom would always smiled when I would always sing this song, even though I never heard it before.
"You have such a lovely singing voice. That's our beloved song, Song of the Siren. I remembered singing that song when I first met your father. He was foolish enough to go to our Cove, for the Crystals that grew there. I sung my song, but he only looked at me," She chuckled, "No matter what, I would sing that song, trying to pull him down...but it would never work."
Conversing with a young lass
Who seem'd to be in pain,
Saying, William, when you go
I fear you'll ne'er return again.
I poured the soapy water over me and then the hot clean water. With a wave of my hand, my wet body was dried. I put on my clothes and my urge to sing stopped.
"He was immune, it was so frustrating to me, especially when he called me beauitful...he would say 'Until Next time, Angel Fish.' No matter how many sailors came by, he was the only one I wanted. But one day, as he was leaving with his usual goodbye. I didn't want him to leave...it was so strange...that feeling, so I accidentally knocked over his rowboat while he was standing up. He fell over and my sisters attacked him, pulled him down. But I...I didn't like that. Something in me, wanted to save him; and I did, I was the strongest, I pulled him out of their grip and pulled him onto his boat. Oh Brianna, that's how I knew I was in love, I acted against my nature, and you shall too. You are half a Siren, you'll meet someone...and act against your nature."
"No way, yuck!" I whined but Mom just laughed and hugged me.
"Oh Mom." I said, as a tear rolled down my cheek, "I miss you and Dad so much sometimes."
I woke Buttercup and Blossom up, thinking about what Mom said, then I thought about that jerk...and his damn smile.
"No way, in hell." My face felt hot again, "He's just like Mitch...anyways-"
Then there was heavy knocking on the door.
"Coming! Coming!" I yelledas I went over to the door, I looked out through the side windows, it was Mr. Copper (the Fuit stand man). I'm just glad it wasn't Mitch. I removed the block and opened the door.
"Brianna, your horse, is in front of my fruit stand." He shot out.
"Our Horse, Angus, there's gotta be some mistake. Maggie took Angus with her yesterday."
"There's no mistake, I know that evil big brute anywhere...with a certain birthmark." He pointed at my necklace.
"What?" I was so confused, maybe Maggie came back early.
"C'mon, he's destroying my stand."
I'm sorry if put so much on this chapter, if it's too much, please tell me. More soon
