The thorny roses (final)
Yes, I've made that picture up there by using canva designer. It's cringy and bad done, I know, but I just felt like doing someting extra since this is the last chapter. You can also find it on my deviantart page, the link to it is in my profile here on wattpad. Enjoy! :3
I ran to the outer areas of the city, I could see the forest not too far away from where I was. I had a feeling that White was there in some strange way, so I decided to go there. It was dark, and soon I came to the forest pit, it was very big and deep, you could see the bottom but it was still a long fall.
I suddenly heard a twig break behind me. I quickly turned around and saw White rushing towards me. I quickly evaded her, she seemed to have planned that she would get me to fall down the pit. Luckily my reflexes saved me in the last second. She attacked me again and again, we fought against each other with our fists as our only weapon. She was too fast that I didn't have the time to take out my whip.
''You never really thought about what I felt at all!'' White said. ''You just cared about your precious Daisy!''
''We agreed that no emotions would be involved between us when we started this whole thing!'' I replied back as I tried punching her in the snout, but she caught my fist with her hand and punched me in the stomach, making me lose some strength. ''You still could've asked after a while if it was okay to keep going!''
''Look, I'm sorry!'' I said. ''I was very stupid. But you have to let this grudge go! It's ridiculous!''
She managed to hit me so I fell down onto my back and some piranha plant seeds fell out of my pocket and into the pit that I was now very close to falling into. ''Not until you've learned how much pain you've caused me for all theese years!''
I could hear that the piranha plant seeds that fell down the pit now had grown and chomps could be heard. Newgrown plants are always really hungry, if I fell down there then not only would my bones break completely when I hit the ground but my body would also be eaten by the plants if I couldn't push their spots or pull their leaves because my arms would be broken. It was a deathtrap, and being close to a deathtrap is NOT something you want to be.
White hopped onto my stomach and punhced my face a few more time before grabbing me by the collar and bringing me closer to her face. ''You're just a nobody, you've always been a nobody. You can just die a dogs death.''
Her eyes were burning with fury, but I saw my chance right there and thrusted upwards with my hip, causing her to lose balance and getting off of me. She became more furious and her kicks and punches became more and more sloppy, she focused more on how hard she swung her fists than on how she would move them to make a fluid motion.
I could now hit her multiple times, I could see that she was starting to get tired. Soon I managed to hit her very hard in the face, causing her to wobble around, getting closer to the pit by each step very quickly. I realized what was going to happen and rushed towards her as soon as I saw her trip over the edge and start falling. But I wasn't fast enough and missed her hand by a centimeter as she fell down the deep pit. She stared up at me terrified and screamed for her life as the piranha plants chomped happily the closer she got to them.
I started to run around the pit's edges to try to find a way down. I could hear White yelling. ''No! Mom, dad, please! I won't do it again! I promise!''
I soon found a slope down, I slid down the slope on my feet and could hear White's voice suddenly stop and fall completely silent. I commanded the piranha plants to stom chomping, some of them did, but some of them I had to push their spots in order for them to stop. I looked around until I spotted White lying on the ground silent and still. Her whole body had bite marks everywhere that went deep in and was bleeding, and her arm was missing too, probably eaten by one of the plants.
I walked up to her and fell to my knees so I could hold her in my arms and see her face. Her eyes slowly opened a little bit and a tear fell from her eye. ''Waluigi...?''
''I'm here, White.'' I said as I looked at her with a frown. ''I'm here, you're safe.''
''I can't feel my body...'' She said with a weak voice.
''Stay with me, you're going to be okay. Just... don't follow the light.''
I picked her up in my arms and started carrying her out of the pit as fast as I could, but Birdos aren't as light as featers exactly.
''Waluigi, stop... we both know how this is gonna end...'' White said. I started slowing down until I completely stopped, a tear escaped my eye and fell down onto her. ''You can't die.'' I said.
She put her hand on my chin gently and smiled, I could feel that she was trembling a little. ''So you do care about me...''
''Of course I do. I cared about the White that was my best friend.''
''I'm sorry for becoming something that you would fear. I was stupid to get so angry at you... I can never forgive myself for doing what I did... I was just blinded by my own emotions that I failed to see yours...''
I placed my hand over hers. ''I forgive you, I was blinded by my emotions as well that I didn't see yours.''
She chuckled weakly. ''At least I can fall asleep in your arms one last time. Only that now... I'll sleep forever.''
Her eyes started closing. I patted her head gently. ''Goodnight... Trophy.'' I said. She managed to give me another vague smile before her soul decided that it was time to leave and she became completely limp. More tears started to fall from my eyes onto her face as I started walking forwards again towards the city.
I stared down at White as I came closer to the police cars where the others had already gathered. The Hammer Bros called for an ambulance and took care of White's body for me. The rest of the roses stared at her body through the car windows as tears started to well up in their eyes. I saw that Rosalina had been freed from the bubble she was trapped in and were sitting together with the others. As soon as she saw me she stood up and looked at my teary face. I hugged her and sniffled as I buried my face in her shoulder. She accepted the hug, she knew what had happened even if she weren't there, she could feel it from my aura. My friends didn't say anything, they sat there silently and mourned with me.
*Four weeks later*
''So you sent me the letters?'' I asked suprised.
''Yes.'' Blue replied behind the thick glass. ''I found them in White's trashcan and decided that I would send them to you as a warning that we were coming.''
''Why would you warn me?'' I asked confused.
''Because... I cared about you. I didn't want you to suffer more from White's mood than you already had done. And I thought that those letters would explain to you why she was acting like that to begin with.''
''Yeah, it explained alot... but why the picture?''
''Black threw it away after you left, I picked it up and kept it. But I figured that it would be safer with you.'' Blue said as he straightened his orange prison suit. ''Everyone's sorry for what they did. We know it won't shorten our prison time but... we just wanted you to know that we still thought about you and your brother all the time, and that we missed you really much.''
''Thanks Bullet.''
Blue got quiet for a moment, then started speaking again. ''So... how does it look? The grave, I mean.''
''It's beautiful.'' I said and smiled softly. ''I'll make sure to visit it often. And I'll say hi from you guys.''
''Good, then I know that it's in good care. And uh... one more question.''
I stared at him. ''Yes?''
''Do you... still have that necklace we gave you all those years ago?''
I smiled. ''I do. I keep it safe where no one could find it.''
''That makes me happy to hear. We all tought you'd thrown it away.''
''I would never.''
Blue went out of the room and I went out as well. I walked out of the prison and started walking towards the graveyard when I suddenly bumped into Daisy.
''Oh... hi Daisy.'' I said awkwardly.
She looked at me for a moment. ''Uh, hi Waluigi...'' Then she sighed. ''I guess I owe you an apology. I was talking to the roses the other day and... they told me everything. Why you stole my crown all those years ago to save Peach's parents. I didn't know anything about it and I treated you like shit for many years.''
''It's fine, I was already used to be treated like that even before that. So it didn't really affect me.''
''No... It's my fault, I was very mean to you. A princess shouldn't look down on anyone.''
''So I guess we're friends again?'' I asked.
She nodded and smiled. ''Yeah, sure. We'll start over again.''
''Sounds like a good plan.'' I gave the thumbs up to her and smiled.
We parted our ways and I went to the graveyard. I walked around for a bit before arriving at a grave near a pond full of waterlillys, the grave was where White was buried. I had a boquet of flowers with me, roses, one of each colour.
I placed the yellow one down. ''Wario is still as greedy as always, but he still shared his loot with you sometimes. He misses you.''
I placed the blue one down. ''Bullet sent your letters to me, he helped me understand more about you. He misses you.''
I placed the red one down. ''Duncan loved playing basketball with you, and he would do anything to do it one more time. He misses you.''
I placed the black one down. ''Lakithunder always liked having you as the second in command, you were always there when he needed you. He misses you.''
I placed the purple one down and sighed deeply. ''I wish that things could've gone different so that it wouldn't end like this. But I will make sure that your grave will shine like the bright spirit you always had in our gang... I miss you.''
I then laid down the final rose, a white rose. ''You will be greatly missed by all of us and you will never be forgotten. I hope that you rest in peace.''
And as I got home I looked at the picture of the old gang that I had hung up on my wall. I got a nostalgic feeling from it. We were a great family. Even if we thought we were nobodies, we were somebodies to each other.
And nobody could change that.
