(I'll be posting the whole thing in one go. Be careful and don't loose track. If there are any problems you find then tell me. As in missing chapters)

I did say I'll post in around a week or so but I was itching to post a new chapter. Besides, the characters I put up slots for are not needed yet. Tell me what you think!

Blue P.O.V

I grab the basket full of potatoes and use all my strength not to fall. Everything was so heavy! " you okay there? " Ink called. I look from behind box. Ink was heading inside with a box herself. " absolutly! I can handle anything!" I exclaim with force. I force myself to walk and managed to drop it over the other boxes. The dress I had on was not making anything better. Wearing a full sleeve with a thin bottom. Not the best plan. "want this?" Ink pulled out a glass of cool water. I eagerly nodded and snatched one. She laughed. I didn't care. I was too busy finishing the glass. " any more boxes?" I ask. "nah. This was only a favour so we dont have to do them all. " I sigh in relief and slump onto a empty box that lay close by. " you doing anything later today?" Ink asked. I nodded. " I need to get some flowers today and also get some food. I ran out of diy for my ribbons. Alot of people want my dolls. And I cant give them naked ones" I giggle. " You know, I heard rumors" Ink intrigued me. I continue to chat with Ink until the workers came to finish our left over work. " what are you doing?" I ask. " I have a few paintings to finish." Ink groaned. We soon parted ways and I headed home. The path was littered with pebbles. I kicked a few aside. A few shops stood beside the road. " Hello there Blue! Here for something?" Seth asked with a grin. " Why else would I be here?" I ask back with a giggle. " What would you like?" " some bread and jam please" I simplify it. I wanted to buy more but my coins thought otherwise. " Here, take these too. For a friend!" Seth handed me a few sweets. I thanked him and continued on my way. The house practically invited me home. I put away the food as fast as possible and bolt for the bed. My dress flew in all direction's when I leaped. Much better than the straw bed I had ages ago. I snuggled into the pillow and was just about to fall asleep but I jolted up. "flowers!" I scream and fall out of bed. " oof-" I groan as I rub my flattened non-existent nose. I stumble into the small room I call my living room and grab my basket before dashing out. The sun was still out. Phew. I head over to the forest that grew behind my house. Its flowers made the best diy. I thankfully found some bright pink and purple tulips. This was enough for plenty dolls. I hum to myself in happiness as I jog my way back. But then, something caught my eye. I set down my basket and head over to what I say. My dress was in the way so I folded it down. It was a red rose. But it was a odd colour. Normal roses had a bright red with a hint of orange around here. But this one was a crimson shade. There wasnt any like it nearby. Without thinking, my hand reached out and was about to pluck it when I pricked myself. I stumbled back in surprise. A small drop of blood formed and was soon followed by more. I put my finger in my mouth to try to stop the bleeding. The flower did look beautiful. The blood finally stopped and I pulled out a small bundle of straw from a pouch I had and wrapped a smaller bundle of it around the rose stem and safely plucked it this time. I placed it in my basket and left for home. I kept watch for another flower like this one but none popped up. " I'll work on the dresses tomorrow" I think aloud. The sun was painting the sky a warm shade of orange, yellow and red. I changed from my normal clothes into a plain thin white dress. The heat was getting to everybody around here. I grab my small bowl I kept in my cabinet, along with a stone. I plop myself down and carefully started to pluck all the petals on the tulips. I didnt touch the other rose. I need to try to make it grow outside first. I placed it in a clay pot I found lying around. The tulips made a wonderful shade of purple and pink. I added more water and continued to grind away at the petals until what remained was diy. I put away all my things and wipe a way a bead of sweat. With the bowl in a safe place and the house silent I leap into bed and let myself sleep this time. Sleep was a wonderful thing.
