Chapter 23: A turn of events

Authors note: Ok this chapter will contain a LOT of drama and tension (I hope anyways). I hope you enjoy this and get shocked by it as I have spent many chapters preparing you for it. And now it's here! Enjoy!

Wisteria's POV (after today's events)

Where did it all go wrong? Why did this happen to me? My nightmares were obviously warnings, so why didn't I listen to them? Now everything is going out of control and it's all because of me! If only Gnomeo hadn't run out into that stupid alley, perhaps none of this would've happened and my ankle wouldn't be twisted. But that is the least of my worries right now. But I bet you would like to know how I twisted my ankle eh? Well my life can't get any worse if I told you…

Blueberry's POV (after today's events)

Poor Wisteria. I mean the reds blame her for what happened when really it was all Pansy's fault. Her and that pathetic little kid of hers! And Boris was no help. But what really got me was that despite the reds blaming Wisteria, Redbrick was the only one who defied them. But why? He couldn't still care for her? For me? Could he?

Redbrick's POV (after today's events)

What have I done? The reds no longer trust their leader after what I just did. And June is really angry at me for doing what I did. But I did the right thing right? I fought for what I believed in for once in my life. And even though everyone but Wisteria hates me for it, I am glad I did so. Despite the circumstances of what had happened…

…

Today's events were about to change history. Well only for the gnomes that is. The humans wouldn't know about it, well let's just say they would only know a bit of the story. But today, today was going to change the fate of everyone. But certain gnomes would definitely find their fates changing in particular. One gnome's fate was certain but as for the other, well her fate was of her own choice. One gnome would find the courage to stand up for what was right while another would be willing to stand by and do nothing. Oh many fates were going to be decided on this particular day. And today's events would impact the entire feud in the reds favour.

But it would start off just like any other day. Gnomeo would be playing about exploring new places while his parents struggled to keep control of him and the garden all at once. Wisteria would be either staying in her pad listening to music or wandering the garden trying to be friendly with everyone. And the rest of the blue gnomes would be going about their daily routine or having little squabbles with the reds at the big gap in the fence. And soon they would be disappointed as Miss Montague was intending to fill that gap in after numerous complaints after she caught Mr Capulet spying on her through that gap.

And while the blues went about their lives while the humans were gone, so were the reds. Yesterdays previous events were out of the picture for Pansy, Boris and Tybalt, and today Pansy was planning on teaching her son a very important lesson. She just didn't know what it was and how it would impact the rest of his life. But today she was going to take him out into the alleyway and teach him his first lawnmower driving lesson. With Redbrick and June on the other hand, their story was completely different. June had found out about how strict and overprotective Redbrick was being with his daughter, and she wasn't too impressed.

"What on Earth is wrong with a father wanting to protect his daughter? It's perfectly natural if I'm quite honest," Redbrick explained crossing his arms confidently. He and June stood a few meters away from where their daughter sat blowing and picking dandelions and were doing nothing to keep their voices low.

"You call blocking her out from the rest of the world natural?" June exclaimed in disbelief "she is only a little girl. She only wants to make friends and have some fun in her childhood. Instead, she's growing up lonely because you are too busy protecting her from nothing but a shadow!"

"She needs to learn she isn't indestructible. She is delicate you know," Redbrick replied backing away a little when June threw her arms in the air angrily.

"You always say that!" June protested "you say that to me all the time! I am sick of it! I don't want to be treated like a porcelain doll Redbrick. I want to be treated like any other gnome in this stupid God forsaken garden. And Juliet isn't a porcelain doll either, so stop treating her like one."

"I do not treat you like that." Redbrick began "I just love you both so much that I couldn't bare to loose you."

"If you love me Redbrick, will you treat me like just another gnome instead of mothering me?"

"Whether you like it or not June I am leader of this garden and it is my duty as a husband and a father to protect those I love from harm. And I cannot let you run things the way I do so please stop before you get yourself hurt."

"You can't let a woman do a mans job can you?" June shook her head as she walked away "oh and if you keep smothering Juliet like you have been doing, she will be spending a lot less time with her father."

June crossed her arms stubbornly as she continued to pace away from her husband. She steadily walked over to her small daughter who glanced up at her mother curiously.

"What was all that about mommy?" Juliet asked and her mother faked a smile for her daughter's sake.

"Nothing dear, just a little disagreement with your father as all."

"I hope it wasn't about me was it?"

"No dear," June lied "it wasn't about you."

Meanwhile Redbrick was pacing around the garden while he got weird glances from all the other gnomes. He approached the fence when he heard shouting and he noticed several gnomes crowded around the gap in the fence. Redbrick could see a haze of blue on the other side and he soon noticed that the main gnomes that were arguing were Boris and Gnorman. But both gnomes on each side had companions to back them up if need-be, but it seemed that the companions only spoke when they agreed with either Boris (if red) or Gnorman (if blue). Redbrick decided to do something useful and break up the feuding gnomes before something happened.

"Come on now you two break it up," Redbrick explained pushing to the front of the crowd of red gnomes.

"But Lord Redbrick sir, this gnome just insulted us," Boris explained pointing at Gnorman through the fence. Redbrick passed a glance at the blue gnome before returning his stern gaze at Boris.

"Whether he insulted you or not, I will have no fighting in front of the children. If you must argue, do it somewhere more private."

"Yes sir," Boris grumbled as he stormed away and pushed past Redbrick rudely. Gnorman just nodded at Redbrick without smiling or speaking and walked away. Redbrick glanced through the fence and as Gnorman walked away, Redbrick's vision was now fixed on a now visible gnome only meters away from the fence.

Redbrick found himself looking straight towards Blueberry. She gazed back with a slight scowl on her face, it wasn't until he noticed her hand move when he noticed little Gnomeo standing there by his mothers side curious to know what was going on. After a few seconds of gazing at each other, Blueberry looked away stubbornly and nudged her son before speaking.

"Come along Gnomeo, we have jobs we need to do," Redbrick heard Blueberry say.

"But mummy, who was that man?" Gnomeo asked as they walked further away. Redbrick waited until they were far enough away before turning back and observing his garden. Today just wasn't his day. And it was only going to get worse…

…

Meanwhile at the other end of the red garden in the garden shed, Pansy was preparing her lawnmower so she could teach Tybalt some of her tricks. Tybalt was being cautious as always and kept keeping his gaze fixed on the exit of the shed. He knew they weren't meant to be in there, and so did his mother. But she couldn't give a damn anyway.

"Mommy what are we doing in the garden shed? Uncle Redbrick said not to go in here," Tybalt said quietly. Pansy just rolled her eyes and hopped onto the red gardens lawnmower ready to start it up.

"Tybalt dear, I gave up listening to my brother years ago. Now stop being so paranoid and relax, today is your first lesson on how to ride a lawnmower. And trust me, you're learning from the best," Pansy said coolly.

"Yeah I want to learn from you!" Tybalt smiled.

"Yes, so check to see if the exit is clear and we'll take this baby out back," Pansy explained and Tybalt ran to the garden shed and nodded to give the all clear. Pansy pushed the lawnmower out of the garden shed and began to take it out of the back and into the alleyway. Tybalt still looked to see if anyone was watching but no one even paid any attention to what Pansy was doing. Once he was sure it was safe, Tybalt followed his mother out of the garden to have his first lawnmower racing session ever.

…

Back in the blue garden about an hour later Blueberry was searching throughout the garden looking for her son. He had disappeared yet again at the most difficult of times. Blueberry was very busy today and this was the last thing she needed.

"Gnomeo!" Blueberry called "oh where is that boy? Gnomeo!"

"Lost something Blueberry?" Wisteria chuckled walking to the side of Blueberry. Blueberry nodded and smirked a little.

"Just Gnomeo, blimey that child cannot stay in one spot for a second!"

"Well you know kids these days," Wisteria muttered before suggesting something "would you like me to look for him?"

"Are you sure?" Blueberry asked "I mean I am up to my hat in dilemmas today! It would be a great help if you found him for me."

"It's not a problem Blueberry my friend," Wisteria smiled "and it should get these horrid thoughts from my mind."

"Is it the nightmares again?" Blueberry asked sympathetically putting her hand on her friends shoulder. Wisteria nodded and frowned at the thought of last night's vision.

"I now know who the shadowed people are," Wisteria said.

"You can tell me what happened Wisteria," Blueberry smiled confidingly.

"Well it all started when-" Wisteria began but was cut short when a sudden crash could be heard and then a loud piercing yell could be heard throughout the garden.

"LADY BLUEBERRY!"

"I'm sorry Wistie, I've got to go and check out what those blasted gnomes have done now. Talk to you later." Blueberry explained as she began to head towards where the sudden commotion was occurring.

"The joys of being leader eh?" Wisteria chuckled.

"Oh you wouldn't believe it," Blueberry replied chuckling as she went. "Oh and when you find Gnomeo, get him to come straight to me. He is in a lot trouble when he returns."

"Got it, good luck!" Wisteria called back. But it wasn't Blueberry who would need the luck. On the contrary it would be Wisteria who would need as much luck as possible for the events which were about to occur.

…

Gnomeo was the kind of kid who would be there one moment and be gone in a flash. He wanted to explore and find out new things not only inside the garden but outside too. It was an adventure for him! But his parents didn't share his opinion. Yesterday's incident proved that exploring unmarked territory could be dangerous for a small defenceless gnome like Gnomeo. He was only five years old and he was already showing that he could be just like his father, but he was too young for that kind of stuff in his mother's eyes. And she was right! He was in fact too young to be like his father. But how do you explain that to a little kid? And Blueberry wasn't the only parent who struggled with that.

But today, like yesterday, he would find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. But for a change it wouldn't be him who was going to be the victim, someone else was instead. But sadly he would be the chain reaction who would start the chain of events. But he was only a child so he couldn't be fully blamed for the situation before him. He didn't fully understand the feud yet anyway. But soon he would learn that not everyone is as nice as he would have hoped.

…

Wisteria had checked everywhere for little Gnomeo. She had checked the garden shed, her pad, around the entire garden twice over, yet she still couldn't find him. But she knew she couldn't worry Blueberry by telling her that her son was missing so Wisteria kept searching. But there was a place where she hadn't searched. And that was the last resort for her as she hated where she was about to go. And who could blame her? All the bad things had happened out there! But Wisteria knew she would have to check out in the alleyway in case Gnomeo was out there being a target for any red gnome.

Wisteria opened the already ajar blue gate with a slight precaution. She didn't want anything bad to happen like what had happened in her dream. But wait, her dream was set in a garden wasn't it? Nothing bad could happen! Like Blueberry had said, it was just a nightmare. If only Wisteria could convince herself it was just that.

What Wisteria could see was what looked like a deserted wasteland, but was really the dust on the alleyway floor from where it hadn't rained for a while. But as she slowly opened the gate more and more things were becoming clearer. And then Wisteria opened the gate so far that she stopped. She had seen the one thing she didn't want to see. It was Gnomeo standing there in the middle of the alley with a dazed stance as he continued to stare at something which had caught his attention. Wisteria's first reaction was to run out and grab Gnomeo and hopefully bring him back into the blue garden before anything else happened. But things wouldn't run that smoothly.

Once she ran over Gnomeo Wisteria spoke in a rough yet gentle tone "Gnomeo, your parents are worried sick about you. What on Earth are you-?" But Wisteria cut off her own speech when she looked up and noticed what Gnomeo had been staring at all of this time. Pansy and Tybalt.

Wisteria froze when she saw them. Pansy and Tybalt's attentions were on them and while Tybalt gazed curiously at them as he stood on the ground and his mother stood on her already switched on lawnmower, Pansy had a different approach. Firstly she scowled when she first laid eyes on Wisteria but soon that scowl turned to a wide evil smirk which caused Wisteria to shiver in fear and dread.

"Gnomeo, I want you to go back into the blue garden," Wisteria explained in a tone she had never spoken in before.

"But aunty Wistie I-" But Gnomeo was cut off by Wisteria's voice.

"Now Gnomeo, go!" Wisteria demanded and watched Gnomeo scuttle off back into the blue garden. She waited until he was out of sight before she dared to look back at Pansy.

"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged out of the blue garden," Pansy muttered aloud crossing her arms in an amused manner. Wisteria wasn't in the mood for this and would soon do something that would take Pansy by surprise. "How many years has it been now since we last ran into each other Wistie? If I didn't think any better, I would say you've been avoiding me."

"Say what you wish Pansy, I just want to be left in peace," Wisteria replied with a completely serious face. It was a shame Pansy wasn't quite as serious as Wisteria was.

"Peace?" Pansy spat cold heartedly before looking down at her son "do you know of that word son?"

"No mommy!" Tybalt replied almost instantly. Wisteria shook her head in shame at the boy.

"What have you turned him into?"

"What I want to," Pansy explained coolly "he is my son and I will need him to be strong to stand up against vermin like you."

"Pansy," Wisteria began determinedly "I do not wish to fight you. Just allow me to walk back into that garden with my body still intact and I promise you that I will never bother you again."

"Shame," Pansy said looking at her tiny hands occasionally passing a glance to Wisteria "I brought my boy out here to teach him a lesson… but if I let you go, all of that time will be wasted."

"What are you going to do?" Wisteria felt her eyes widen in fear again. Whatever Pansy planned on teaching her son, it involved her and whatever involved her in Pansy's plans ended up going bad for Wisteria. She still hadn't fully got over her hat being smashed and that was like eight years ago!

"What am I going to do?" Pansy repeated smiling innocently "that's a very good question."

Wisteria hardly noticed Pansy suddenly lunge her lawnmower forward in her direction until it was too late. The alleyway wasn't that wide and it took Pansy a matter of seconds before she was but meters away from her target.

"I could do THIS!" Pansy shouted as she grabbed Wisteria causing her to fall on the side of the lawnmower. Wisteria immediately grabbed the nearest thing she could find so she wouldn't fall off and break apart with the impact of the ground. Wisteria opened her eyes to see that the lawnmower was travelling at its fastest speed and there was no way of escaping. She looked up to see Pansy grinning like a psychopath as she began to approach her with her trowel in her hands. The very same trowel which had sliced though her hat all those years ago and the same one which had given Tybalt those scars on his arm the day before.

"Now the answer to your question…" Pansy continued casually steering the lawnmower while Wisteria continued to cling on for dear life. She feared for her life right now, Pansy was no longer the brat she used to be. She was now damn right crazy! "I could finish what I started eight years ago, or I could just give you the same scratches I gave my son yesterday."

Wisteria then fixed her gaze on Tybalt. All he did was stand there and watch. She was right; Tybalt was turning out to be just like Pansy. His face was full of concern but he could do nothing to stop this madness going on before him. And Wisteria's thoughts suddenly flashed back to her nightmare. Pansy and Tybalt were both there to watch her die. This could not be good. Not good at all…

…

Meanwhile in the blue garden Blueberry was getting frustrated with the gnomes who were now just wasting her time. But because she was a respected and nice leader she decided not to let her impatience get the better of her. Enduring the talking from amongst her fellow gnomes she wasn't prepared for what was about to happen next.

"Mummy!" Blueberry heard and instantly knew who the voice belonged to. Once she had pin pointed out her son from within the garden she noticed he was rushing towards her in such a speed he had never ran before. She also noticed his face had fear written all over it. This was not like her son at all. Something was wrong.

"Gnomeo, where have you been? I have been worried sick-" but Blueberry was cut off when Gnomeo spoke clearly scared of what could happen.

"Mummy, aunt Wistie is out the back and she is fighting that evil red woman from yesterday!" Gnomeo exclaimed and Blueberry's face immediately lost its entire complexion. Everyone in the garden knew of whom he was speaking of and went deathly silent. Blueberry then looked out to the gate and heard the sound of what sounded like a smash.

"Pansy!" Blueberry literally ran past Gnomeo and headed for the gate. She zoomed past several gnomes including Gnorman who followed her instantly.

"What is wrong Blueberry?" Gnorman asked.

"Pansy has Wisteria right where she wants her. If I don't get out there now something really bad could happen to her!"

…

"What's wrong Wisteria? Afraid of what I have become?" Pansy teased as she approached Wisteria who backed away as much as she physically could.

"Yes," Wisteria said "please Pansy, I beg of you can't we just have peace?"

"I don't give in to beggars. Or hippies for that matter! I hated you from the very beginning when you first moved here and tried to be friends with me," Pansy then flipped her towel in her hand and raised it high in the air. "And now I can finally be rid of you!"

Wisteria couldn't think of anything to do but just accept she was dead. But if anything, this feud had taught her to be more confident in herself and to not let people like Pansy push her around. But Wisteria was always a shy person who didn't know how to defend herself. But this was a life or smash situation which required quick thinking. And lucky enough for Wisteria, there was hope for her yet.

Pansy was actually shocked when she heard a clanging sound when she lunged her trowel into Wisteria. She looked down to see Wisteria had picked up some kind of metal pole which was stuck in the lawnmower compartment. Pansy felt her eyes widen in shock but soon burst out into fits of evil laughter.

"Finally learned to defend yourself eh Wistie? Looks like this feud has taught you something as well," Pansy said with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"What this feud has taught me is that it is completely pointless to fight under these circumstances when we should be living in peace amongst each other. You have twisted and turned this feud in your favour and those who only want to live life happily like me have had to suffer for it." Wisteria explained. It was obvious she was speaking from the heart, but Pansy had no time for her soppy talk. And it didn't take much time for Pansy to react to this. She lunged her trowel forward again to try and give Wisteria a blow to the hat, but missed yet again as Wisteria defended herself again.

"URGH WHY WON'T YOU DIE?" Pansy bellowed going completely mad with her trowel swerving it in all directions possible but somehow Wisteria managed to block every single blow. But there was something Wisteria didn't do, and that was fight back.

"Please Pansy," Wisteria pleaded again "can't we live in peace?"

"PEACE? There is no such word!" Pansy then whacked Wisteria's pole with so much force that it flew out of her hands and Pansy stood above her, trowel in her grasp ready to kill "Now prepare to be unmade Wisteria. You have no petty Lady Blueberry to save you this time!"

"Pansy, WATCH OUT!" Wisteria pointed eyes widening in horror. Pansy had but a split second to glance before the lawnmower collided with a large rock causing the machine to topple over. This caused Wisteria to go flying through the air and somehow hit the floor without breaking anything. She rolled several centimetres before stopping; she lay on the floor motionless as she regained her bearings.

But for Pansy on the other hand it wasn't so lucky for her. Pansy flew through the air in a different direction entirely to where Wisteria had landed. Wisteria fell from the back end of the lawnmower while Pansy fell from the front end. And unfortunately for Pansy, the lawnmower was still going at its full speed and she fell onto the front of the lawnmower where its blades were spinning rapidly. Pansy knew this was the end. She bounced off of the lawnmower and a loud smash could be heard throughout the alleyway. It wasn't certain if it was the blades which caused it or the impact on the ground which did the job. But what was certain now was that Pansy Capulet was no more.

"MOMMY!" Tybalt screamed and rushed over to the wreckage. Wisteria finally took her head off of the ground and gasped as the dust around the wreckage cleared. Tybalt was now in front of the lawnmower and was crying down at what he had seen. Wisteria couldn't help but feel pure guilt and pain for what she had just done. Pansy was dead because of her. If Tybalt took it this bad, imagine how the other reds would react!

"Oh, no…" Wisteria whispered feeling a few watery tears fall down her dusty face. "What have I done?"

"Wisteria?" A voice asked from behind. Wisteria turned her head to see who it was. All of the blue gnomes were coming out of their garden to see what all of the commotion was about. The reds soon followed pursuit and the first gnome to get to where the crash sight had occurred was Boris. He rushed forward past Wisteria to near where the broken red lawnmower lay in shattered pieces. Tybalt ran over to his father and hugged him whilst wailing in tears still.

"What happened Tybalt?" Boris demanded and Tybalt let go of his father and pointed an accusing finger at Wisteria.

"She killed my mommy!" Wisteria shook her head and panicked. Now all of the red gnomes believed that she was Pansy's murderer. She didn't kill her exactly! Pansy tried to kill her and she defended herself, but this ended up in Pansy getting smashed. But the reds wouldn't believe a blue. She may have survived the impact of the crash, but would she be able to survive the angry mob of red gnomes that were mobilizing before her.

"You little bitch!" Boris turned and began to march over to Wisteria full of rage. "You must really love pain!"

"Please I swear I didn't kill her!" Wisteria exclaimed as she tried to stand up. But somehow her ankle prevented her from doing so, when she tried to put pressure on her ankle she felt a severe pain go up through her leg. She couldn't move, she was a sitting duck to whatever Boris had in store for her.

"You calling my son a liar hippy?" Boris spat grabbing the pole she used to defend herself from Pansy earlier to attack her. Wisteria tried to back away by crawling despite the pain shooting out of her leg, but it was very difficult.

"No it's just I didn't kill her! It was an accident! I swear!"

"Yeah, well you killed Pansy. And now you must pay for her death!" Boris then went to smash Wisteria and she flinched and put her arm over her head defensively preparing for impact. But surprisingly enough there was no impact. Wisteria waited for several moments for her life to be over, but as far as she was concerned she was still alive. How was this so? Wisteria noticed everything went silent as she felt someone go past her. And when she looked up, it was a sight from heaven.

"That will be enough of that thank you!" A familiar voice shouted out. Wisteria looked up to see a gnome standing in the way of Boris and in front of her. The gnome grabbed the pole while it flew through the air aiming for Wisteria, the gnome had cut its course short and once he had grabbed it he threw it to the ground almost simultaneously. Everyone gasped in shock when they saw what this gnome had done. Boris wasn't happy at all.

Meanwhile Blueberry and Gnorman watched the scene unfold before them and Blueberry wanted so desperately for it all to be over with. She felt the urge to rush forward and help Wisteria but she was held back by Gnorman.

"Wait," Gnorman whispered in her ear and they continued to watch the brave daring gnome who had just defied Boris the chance of killing off Wisteria.

"Lord Redbrick what in the name of bloody hell are you doing? Don't you know this gnome just killed your sister?" Boris asked raising an angry eyebrow to the red leader. Wisteria was actually surprised when she heard Boris mention Redbrick's name. Why the heck was he saving her?

"I am fully aware of that Boris," Redbrick replied coolly much to Boris' anger and annoyance.

"So you are just going to stand by and do nothing to avenge her death?"

"Listen Boris I think there has been enough smashing for one day don't you? If Wisteria says that Pansy's death was accidental then I believe her." Redbrick then looked down at Wisteria and smiled "for I know Wisteria would never lie."

"But-But she's a blue!" Boris bellowed in frustration "why are you saving a worthless blue?"

"Because she is not guilty. Whatever Pansy did, she inflicted it on herself. Don't get telling me what to do Boris, I am the leader of the reds and you will respect my decisions as such. Am I understood Boris?"

"But-but," Boris continued to stammer aimlessly as everyone around them muttered amongst themselves. Redbrick bent down to Wisteria's level and smiled sympathetically.

"Can you stand?"

"Ugh, no I think I have twisted my ankle," Wisteria replied and Redbrick wrapped his arm around her shoulder and helped her up.

"Redbrick what on Earth are you doing?" June stepped forward from within the red crowed. Her voice was full of disbelief and shame that she looked at him in complete and utter disgust. Redbrick helped Wisteria forward and glanced at his wife determinedly.

"The right thing June, like you always taught me to do."

"But, she's a blue!" June said with bitterness evident.

"So?" Redbrick asked before turning his attention back to Wisteria.

"Thank you," Wisteria whispered as she limped in his arms while they made their way over to the blues. Blueberry and Gnorman couldn't believe what they were seeing, Blueberry in particular.

"Don't, mention it. Anything for an old friend," Redbrick smiled before they stood in front of Blueberry and Gnorman. Redbrick passed a small look of longing towards Blueberry before turning to Gnorman as he passed Wisteria to them.

"She has twisted her ankle a bit from the impact; I would get that checked out if I were you."

"Thanks," Gnorman nodded smiling. Redbrick did the same before returning his vision back on Blueberry. She couldn't stop looking at him with that same expression on her face. It was a mixture of confusion, happiness, sadness, pain and thankfulness. She fixed her heavy blue eyes on Redbrick's warm, soft brown eyes. He still wore that look of longing on his face while he gazed at her. It was as if none of this ever happened and they were still together. But that couldn't be right! Not after all of this had happened!

It was still a shock to Blueberry and everyone else that Redbrick would turn against his own garden and help save the life of the enemy who had just accidentally contributed to Pansy's death. What was going on in that mind of his? Was this the same Redbrick Blueberry fell in love with all those years ago? Or was it just some kind of trick? But Blueberry knew deep down that even Redbrick wouldn't go that deep to trick anyone. His sister perhaps but not him! Both Blueberry and Redbrick felt their hearts flutter as they continued to stare into each others eyes. But thankfully everyone but Wisteria didn't notice this. Eventually Blueberry got her grip back on reality and nodded gratefully at Redbrick. Then Blueberry and Gnorman began to lead an injured Wisteria back into their garden and the other blue gnomes followed suit. It actually took Redbrick by surprise when the occasional blue gnome said a "thank you" as they walked passed him. Once the blue gnomes all entered their garden Redbrick turned to his red companions who all stared at him with either looks of disgust, shame, or mostly shock. It was all silent and tension was rising so Redbrick decided to break it before anything else happened.

"What are you all gawping at? There's nothing to see here!" Redbrick shouted and soon many of the gnomes went back into their garden. June had managed to get little Tybalt away from the wreckage and comfort him as they made their way into the garden. June passed a glare and a disappointed head shake toward Redbrick as she walked passed him, Redbrick chose to ignore her glares and focus on getting everyone back into the garden. Boris nudged past him furiously almost causing him to fall over at the sudden force of it all. And once everyone was inside the red garden Redbrick made his way over to the wreckage and stared down at the remains of what once was the brat of a gnome he called a sister. He had no sympathy for her, but he wasn't glad she was dead either. But he still felt sorry for Wisteria as he knew it wasn't her fault Pansy was stupid enough to kill herself. But Wisteria would probably get blamed for the rest of her life no matter what she said to say otherwise. This was all Pansy's fault! And there was only one sentence Redbrick had to say to his older sister as she rested in pieces on the ground before him.

"Now look what you've done!" Redbrick muttered before turning around to head back inside to join the other gnomes. June wasn't probably going to speak to him, but right now that was the least of his concerns.

Wisteria on the other hand knew to where this was leading. She knew no one in the red garden other than Redbrick would forgive her for this. And she also knew that Tybalt would hate her for the rest of his life for killing his mother. Of course she hadn't actually killed her, but to the reds she had killed her no matter what she said to defend that accusation. Pain, guilt and torment were now killing her insides to the point that she couldn't take it anymore. Yes there was only one thing for it; she would have to do something that she really didn't want to do. She would have to leave the garden.

Authors note: WOW! I bet you weren't expecting that were you? Please tell me what you think about this chapter! Pansy's finally gone, and you know what that means… soon the likes of Benny, Fawn and Nanette will be introduced. But not yet. Right now we need to focus on poor Wisteria and how this affects her. Please review and I promise I shall update soon! Thanks sooooo much!
