Scarlet's heart squeezed painfully, but she decided to humour the poor girl. "And how do the flowers know?" she played along.

"They know all." Willow whispered. "And they tell me that I'm not going to be Willow. They say that I'm insane. The flowers never lie. They said Major would die that day. I didn't listen."

Talking flowers…I did not sign up for this… Cade thought, walking slightly ahead of the princess.

"How long have you had them?"

"A long time. Like I've always had my crazy part."

"How have they survived?"

"They haven't." Willow smiled, "Dead, magical, corpses of flowers."

What the heck is this conversation? Cade shook his head, not focusing on the girl's conversation anymore.

Scarlet nodded weakly and put a finger to her lips as she put her mask on and got in line with the other nobility. Just remember your fake names guys…

“I want to eat that.” Chelsea grumbled.

"I refuse. I will be Willow as long as I can."

Noah. Remember, your name is Noah… Cade thought, putting on his snootiest face and walking right behind the princess.

“Ughh, no one told me there was going to be good food here.” Chelsea groaned.

Scarlet sighed and focused on her invitation, her fake name written in sparkly gold calligraphy: Violet Hedgeburrough of the Northern Mountains.

Willow's eyes immediately went to the queen. Her fists clenched. Alice.

(Ace rp @Nerd!)

Scarlet nudged Willow lightly as they approached the Queen, making sure both their masks were on.

Willow nodded.

Cade held his held high as he approached the Queen, standing slightly behind the princess and Willow and trying to see through his mask. Relax, she doesn't even know you. The Queen has no grudge against you. You'll be fine.

It was Scarlet's turn. She bowed deeply to Alice, showing her invitation to the guard and holding her breath.

yeah sure go ahead!)

The queen retreated back into the palace and Willow followed, entering a dark room. The queen’s voice rang in Willow’s ears as soon as she entered the room. “Ahh, Willow, how nice of you to come. You and I, we’re so alike.”
“I will never– I will never be like you!” Willow screamed at the darkness.
The queen laughed, a cruel high-pitched sound that held madness, “Dear Willow, don’t you see? You’re already like me! You’re crazy! Accept it.” she appeared out of nowhere holding a knife and she dragged a man and a woman out of the shadows, “Here we have two lovers, so full of hope for their future. It’s too bad that they’ll never have one.”
“STOP IT! STOP IT!” Willow yelled, charging at the queen, but ending up on the ground, bleeding from her mouth.
“You choose, Willow. Which one will you spare from my dinner tonight?” Alice crooned, laughing gleefully.
