Masterlist

Y/n groaned as she woke up with sore eyes from crying herself to sleep. Picking up her phone she looked at herself to see her eyes red and swollen. Thoughts of what happened last night came back and she blinked back the tears as a knock came from the door.

"Yeah?" She called out after clearing her throat. She looked up as she seen the red haired girl Sky had talked to first day appear at the door. "Hi, um, I just decided to umm, introduce myself. I'm uhh, I'm Bloom. First year. One of your dorm mates." Bloom started causing y/n to chuckle a small bit. "I'm y/n, second year. Your mentor along with Stella." Y/n introduced herself as she got out clothes for the day. "Oh, umm, hi." "Hi." Y/n smiled weakly, turning to look at the red head as she got her clothes and put them on her bed. "Umm, I didn't see you at the Induction party." Bloom started only for Y/n to interrupt her. "Yeah, umm, I wasn't feeling up for it." Y/n shrugged, looking down. "Oh, umm, are you okay? Just your eyes are red and swollen." Bloom pointed causing Y/n to silently curse herself. "just missing home." Y/n stated bluntly with a fake smile. "Oh, okay, yeah I get it." Bloom nodded, "Hey umm, the other girls are up if you want to meet them." Bloom stated pointing behind her. "Uhh, yeah sure." Y/n faked a smile as she followed y/n into the kitchen sector of the dorm.

"Hey guys, this is y/n. She's our mentor as well as Stella." Bloom stated, introducing the older girl. "Well I sure hope she's better then Stella." Musa stated, looking at the second year fairy as she put her headphones down before looking at y/n with confusion. "Hi y/n, I'm Aisha, this is Musa, and Terra." "Hi, if you need anything my room is there." Y/n smiled softly, pointing to her room. "Would you like a succulent?" Terra asked. "Uhh sure." She nodded, accepting the plant from Terra. "It doesn't need much to survive." "Thanks. Uh, I'm gonna get ready for the day." Y/n smiled, indicating to her room. "Sure, we'll leave you to it." Aisha nodded before the older fairy left to her room

Once her door was closed, Y/n sighed and closed her eyes as she took deep breaths, trying to calm herself for the day ahead. Opening them she looked down at the plant in her hand and smiled weakly before placing it on her desk so she could get ready for the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As y/n went to go into the kitchen she seen Musa standing at the counter making coffee. The empath turned to see her mentor and smiled at her.

"Sorry, I'll move." The younger girl apologized. "No it's okay don't worry." Y/n smiled, taking a cup and making some coffee for herself. "Are you okay?" "Sorry?" Y/n asked in confusion, not looking up from her cup. "I'm an empath, I feel everything your feeling. And I can feel your sadness." Musa stated causing y/n to curse silently before looking at the young girl. "Yeah, just missing home you know." she half lied with a weak smile. "Oh." Was all Musa said, unsure of what to say next.

Y/n smiled and held up her cup of coffee in a cheers motion before heading back to her room, making a mental note to learn how to block others from feeling her feelings or hearing her thoughts. The last thing she wanted was to have to tell practical strangers yet also room mates that her parents died when she still hadn't told her friends.

Finishing getting ready she sighed and looked in the mirror one last time before getting her bag and heading out to see the girls talking to Stella. She didn't really pay attention but looked up when her name was called to see Stella going towards her with a scowl on her face.

"Y/n, I heard you in Sky's room last night." She stated, crossing her arms. "Firstly it's also Rivens room. And second, you were there last I checked. Stayed the night as well by the look of it." Y/n stated, crossing her arms at the end. "Well we all know who he prefers." She stated with a smirk on her face. "Excuse me." Y/n asked, leaning towards Stella with a glare. "Well, from what I heard he forgot about you and chose me over you. And as for Riven well, he also didn't remember you. You saw how confused they were when you turned up." She stated curtly. "Shut up Stella, I'm not in the mood." Y/n stated, trying to avoid her. "Yeah, I know all about you missing home, as if they care. You mean nothing to Sky or Riven, they just keep you around because they were too kind last year to tell you to leave them alone." Stella stated, moving her face inches away from y/n's. "You know nothing." Y/n said, her teeth gritted together. "Do I not, then why didn't they come get you from here like they done last year." Stella asked with fake surprise. "Early training session." Y/n shrugged. "Yeah I doubt that. Because I was with Sky and he said that his first class was with us."

Y/n looked Stella in the eyes before grabbing her bag and leaving the dorm. Aisha and Terra watched y/n leave with sad eyes as Bloom tried to stop her and Musa shouted at Stella, all four after seeing what happened.

-------------------------

Y/n ignored everyone and just headed to the room where class was going to be. Sitting at the desk near the back she kept her head down as people started coming in. Looking down she listened as Dowling started explaining what was going to happen in the class today. Eventually the class begun using their magic to cancel out their partners. Being alone Dowling came towards her and went to work with her.

"Keep a clear mind. Concentrate on the task on hand." Dowling reminded her, seeing her struggling to work her magic. "It's not working." Y/n stated, starting to get frustrated. "Take our time, don't rush it." Dowling stated, looking at her student.

Y/n got frustrated trying to work it. She tried again and growled as it didn't work only for ice to start crawling up the table and towards Dowling. Y/n gasped causing other students to turn and watch as y/n tried to stop the icicles that had formed and were going towards Dowling. Unfazed, Dowling calmly looked at the young girl and held her hand up causing the ice to defrost.

Breathing heavily, y/n grabbed her back and rushed out of the room, the rest of the students watching her. Turning back to Dowling, the students got up as she dismissed the class, watching the class go before leaving herself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n gasped as she came to a stop and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. Looking around she seen no one around and allowed her self to let go. Screaming, a burst of energy was released from her causing ice and frost to surround her as she collapsed to the ground in tears. Heaving and sobbing she didn't hear footsteps coming towards her and looked up terrified as someone grabbed her shoulder.

"Y/n, it's headmistress Dowling, are you okay?" Dowling asked, crouched in front of her, as Silva and Harvey came up behind her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry." Y/n cried, curling into herself to avoid looking at the teachers. "Y/n, y/n listen to me. It's understandable how you are right now. Ur loss and sadness is powering your magic and it's causing you to go out of control with the littlest thing." Dowling tried to explain to the young girl. "I can't do this anymore. I'll hurt someone if it keeps going on." Y/n gasped, struggling to breath. "Let's concentrate on you right now." Dowling said as she realized the young fairy was having a panic attack.

"Y/n, I need you to calm down." Harvey said, crouching in front of the young fairy as Dowling got up. "No, no I can't, I can't I can't." Y/n repeated before a burst of ice went to where Dowling and Silva were standing causing them to move back and look at each other in shock. "Y/n you have to try. Breath with me." Harvey instructed her in a calm voice, ignoring what just happened.

"We might have to sedate her." Silva said, watching as Harvey failed to comfort the girl as another spark of ice came towards them. "No, we can't." Dowling started. "Farah we are past the barrier, they're could be burned ones or frozen ones anywhere. She isn't capable of calming herself, look at her. She's over stressed, she needs help." Silva stated, pointing at the young girl in front of them who was clearly in distress. "Professor Harvey?" Dowling asked, looking at Silva before turning to the teacher who was currently trying to comfort the young girl. "I don't think we have any other option." He nodded before turning to the girl in front of her.

Dowling nodded and Harvey moved slightly to get the sedative from his pouch, ignoring the ice that skimmed him. Y/n shook as she struggled to breath, covering her face with her hands. Hearing movement coming towards her, she flinched before looking up slightly to see Harvey coming towards her with a small needle, Dowling and Silva behind him.

"Please, don't tell Sky and Riven." She cried as she struggled to breath. "Your just going to feel a pinch, don't worry, when you wake up you will feel better." Harvey said after he looked at Silva along with Dowling.

"Why doesn't she want Riven and Sky to know?" Dowling asked as Harvey moved out of the way for Silva to pick her up. "I'm guessing because they don't know about her parents death." Silva stated as she adjusted y/n into a safe hold. "Poor girl, let's get her to the informatory where she can rest easily." Harvey said before leading the way back to the school.

Part 1

Y/n looked into the mirror as she stood up to get ready for the day. Her eyes were red rom the crying she had done last night, having spending the night with Ada instead of Tommy. After the fight neither party could look at each other in fear of what would be said if they met eye to eye. Sighing, y/n changed quickly before heading downstairs where Ada and Polly were sitting t the table. Seeing her younger sister, Ada smiled weakly as she moved forwards to her.

"Y/n sweetheart, wake up, we'll go before the boys get up." Pol spoke softly to her niece, rubbing her shoulder gently to wake her.

"Yeah ok." Y/n spoke tiredly, sitting up in her bed before watching her aunt leave before getting up.

----------------------------------------

"You'll be okay." Ada spoke softly, rubbing her arms in comfort.

"We better go, the lads will be up soon, don't want questions on where were going." Polly spoke, moving towards her nieces and giving the youngest one her coat.

"Will it hurt." Y/n asked weakly.

"It'll be over quickly." Polly spoke, trying to comfort the girl, knowing the statistics of the women who lost their lives during the process due to blood loss.

"I love you." Ada smiled, trying to ease her younger sisters worries,

"I love you." Y/n smiled weakly before leaving with her aunt.

---------------------------------------

Something Thomas Shelby had done since he returned from the war was looking after his baby sister, regardless of what happened the day before. So when he woke up the day after fighting with his sister, Tommy made his way to y/ns room to check on her. However, when he opened the door and didn't see the youngest Shelby sister, he panicked and went to check Polly's room, where y/n would regularly go after a fight with her closest brother. Not seeing either Shelby women, Tommy groaned in frustration before heading downstairs, expecting the glares of the two when he got to the kitchen.

However to his surprise, there was no sight of Polly or y/n when he got down there. In Polly's place was Ada, who was finishing up the breakfast and dishing it. Arthur was next to come down, immediately noticing the missing Shelby's.

Ada's eyes widened, not used to this version of Tommy. Everyone knew how protective he was of the youngest Shelby sister but never had he looked at a family member as if they were an enemy to him before. She sighed but told him, watching as he all but pulled the door off the hinges to get to his sister.

"Where's Polly and y/n?" Arthur asked in confusion as he sat at the table.

"Gone out. Finn, get down here for breakfast or starve." Ada replied before going to the end of the stairs to shout up at Finn.

"Gone out where?" Arthur pushed wanting to know more.

"Hopefully to sort out our whore of a sister." Tommy spoke, lighting a cigarette before inhaling some smoke.

"Jesus Crist, your such a fucking dickhead Tommy." Ada snapped, slamming her hands onto the kitchen table.

"I don't know what you mean Ada." Tommy shrugged, looking at his sister wit ha shake of his head.

"You say your there for y/n, but when she needs you most you leave her there as if she's fucking stale bread."

"She's the one who got pregnant Ada, not me." Thomas spoke, causing Arthur to look at him in shock.

"Oh my God you just don't get it do you Tommy, our sister was raped, she tried to tell you but you had ur head too far up your fecking arse, and now she's off getting a fucking procedure done that can be life threatening if gone wrong. She needed you Tommy, and you weren't there." Ada shouted, not realizing what she had said.

"Y/n was raped." Tommy asked quietly, in shock of what he had just been told. "

"Yeah Thomas she was, and unfortunately she became pregnant because of it." Ada said softly, looking down.

"Where'd Polly take her?" Tommy asked, frantically grabbing his coat and throwing it on.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go Tommy." Ada started

"Ada, listen to me. The one person that I live for and vowed to protect is gone for a procedure which can turn fatal without the appropriate care. I wasn't there to stop this from happening but I will not just sit here when I know where she is going. So Ada, where the fuck is she going?" Tommy spoke, moving towards his sister threateningly.

------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------

Y/n sat quietly with Polly, shuffling her feet on the ground as they waited for the lady to call her in. Seeing her nieces fear, Polly grabbed the young girls hand, giving it a squeeze to bring Y/ns attention to her.

Y/n smiles at her aunt before turning to the door as it opens

"It'll be ok darling, it'll all be over soon." Polly tried to comfort her niece.

"I'm scared." Y/n whispers in fear.

"I know, but Your a Shelby y/n, and we Shelby's can get through anything."

Polly sighed and sat down, lighting a cigarette before staring at the wall ahead of her as she smoked it. She took a deep breath of worry as the silence surrounded her. That silence was short lived as she heard footsteps coming towards her, pulling her out of her thoughts. She sighed when she seen who it was, her nephew Tommy Shelby.

"Y/n Shelby?" The lady called out, peaking her head out the door.

Y/n looked at Polly in fear.

"It's alright love, I'll be out here when it's over then we can go home and forget about all this" Polly smiled in assurance, rubbing the girls arm before watching her niece follow after the woman who would do the procedure.

Tommy looked at his aunt to see the hard look on her face. He sighed and sat down on the seat closest to the door, pulling out a cigarette and placing it between his lips, rolling it before lighting it as he stared at the wall in front of him.

"Polly, where is she, where's y/n?" Tommy asked, stopping in front of her .

"You have some bloody nerve Tommy." Polly stated, ignoring his question.

"Polly, is she in there?" Tommy asked, pointing at the door his sister had entered minutes ago.

"You know Tommy I knew you were heartless, but I didn't think you would ever do something like that to your sister. She needed you and instead of letting her explain to you what happened you called her a whore. A fucking whore Tommy." Polly stated, standing up from her seat.

"I know Pol, I know, and I get it but I am here now, just please, don't start now, y/n needs us."

"You'll be lucky if she lets you near her after what you did Tommy" Polly spoke before their attention turned to the door as a scream was heard.

"Y/n.." Tommy spoke, going towards the door.

"You can't go in there Tommy." Polly spoke, moving in front of him, blocking his path.

"To hell I'm not after hearing her scream." Tommy spoke, determined to be there for his baby sister.

"It's part of the procedure, it's painful but only takes a matter of minutes." Polly explained, indicating for Tommy to sit down.

"Polly I swear to God if she......."

"Just sit the fuck down Tommy." Polly said with agitation.

Memories with y/n came back to him as he remembered her as a young girl, the laughs she made which caused everyone around her to smile. The times she snuck into his room as she knew it helped him with the nightmares and gave her the reassurance that he was there, alive. He shook his head in disbelief.

Tommy's head snapped up at the sound of the door opening. He stood up with Polly as the women stepped out, closing the door behind her before offering the Shelbys a small smile.

"How did we not realize, how did I not realize." He asked aloud, causing Polly to look at him.

"Don't do that Tommy, you can't do that to yourself." She stated with a shake of her head.

"She's my fucking sister Pol, and I didn't realize that she wasn't comfortable around men, I should of known something wasn't right the moment she wouldn't come near us, near me." He stated, throwing his hands up in frustration.

"We're hear now, and she will need you when this is all over. Only you can truly help her Tommy, God knows how close you two are, she looks up to you Tommy, she's been there for you when you needed her. Now it's your turn to be there for her." Polly spoke, watching as her nephew placed his head in his hands.

Polly turned to face her nephew as she sat down, taking a deep breath of relief as he brought his hands together and placed them under his chin. She smiled softly as she turned to the sound of the door, seeing y/n step out with a look of exhaustion.

"It's done, she'll be bleeding for a few days but that should clear up once everything's cleared out. She might be in pain and feel cramps but that's to be expected."

"Is she okay?" Tommy asked, wanting to know his sister was okay.

"She's tired but other then that. She'll be out to you in a minute, just getting herself sorted." The woman smiled before leaving them be.

True to his word, when they got back to the house, Tommy stayed with his sister as she went to her room to lie down. And as Tommy held his sister in his arms, caressing her back gently as she lay her head on his chest, he vowed that he would never let a man touch her like that without her consent.

"How you feeling sweetheart?" Polly asked, gaining the attention of Tommy.

"I just wanna go home Pol." y/n spoke, tears welling in her eyes as he voice wobbled.

"Then let's get you home." Tommy spoke up, causing y/n to face him in shock.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, scared he would have another go at her.

"Ada told me what happened, I had to come be with you when she told me where you had gone." Tommy spoke, cautisly moving closer, making sure not to scare her.

"I tried to stop him, I really did." Y/n tried to explain, tears beginning to fall.

"Hey, come here." Tommy spoke softly, pulling y/n into his arms, relief flooding him when she didn't pull away from him "I know you did, and I swear I will let nothing like this happen to you again okay." He promised, kissing her head in comfort.

"Okay." Y/n mumbled, not trusting her voice.

"now, let's get you home eh." Tommy smiled, pulling away and placing her in Polly's arms.

"Stay with me?" Y/n pleaded, looking at her brother with watery eyes "I will never leave you." Tommy nodded in agreement.

Scared and alone (11/12)

Y/n woke up to the clock shining 12am and turned her head to see Sky still lying beside her. She smiled softly and moved to sit up, careful not to wake her. She stood up and went to move to the doors only for a voice to scare her.

"You always were one to sneak out after spending the night in here, always gave us a heart attack in the mornings when we seen you gone." Riven stated as y/n turned her attention to the specialist who leaned against his bed rest. "Well I never wanted to get caught, didn't need to cause trouble as a first year." Y/n stated and Riven chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "I'm pretty sure Silva knew we did it considering the fact he seen you and Sky last night and didn't say anything." Riven stated and y/n sighed, looking down. "What do you want Riven, to start at me again." "No, I want to apologize, I was angry and hurt and I took it out on you and I shouldn't have. I should of never said any of those things to you or used the things you told me against you and so I apologize." Riven stated as he stood up and moved towards his fairy friend who raised an eye brow at him. "So the famous bad boy Riven is apologizing." Y/n smiled sarcastically and Riven rolled his eyes. "Some people are worth softening up for." "Okay now your getting all soft." Y/n stated and Riven smiled at her as he moved back to his bed. "Don't get too used to it." He stated as he moved to lie down on the bed once again. "Goodnight Riven." Y/n smiled. "Night y/n." Riven saluted her as she left, closing the door behind her.

Carefully y/n moved towards the fairies suite area, before opening the door slowly before seeing the lights still turned on. She looked around in confusion to see Aisha plaiting her hair, Bloom at her desk, Musa on her phone and Terra moving plants around. The ice fairy also noticed the absence of a certain light princess.

"Is Stella moved?" Y/n asked Musa in confusion as she stood with the mind fairy as they watched Terra sorting the plants. "Heard rumors of her mother pulling her out due to the burned and frozen ones, came back to her room empty, nothing there. And I think someone is missing her." Musa stated and Terra turned to face the two abruptly. "What, no I'm not." Terra stated and Y/n and Musa looked at each other knowingly. "I'm going to pretend to believe you." Y/n smiled before moving away towards the living area, sitting on the couch until a smash was heard.

Y/n turned her attention to the room the other girls headed too and chuckled slightly when she seen it was a plant that had fallen over. She smiled at Aisha as she left into the room she shared with Bloom before turning on her phone to see a text from Sky, asking her where she left to. Her attention abruptly turned to Bloom and Aisha's room as bloom rushed out of the dorm, causing y/n to look at Aisha with a frown.

"What the hell was that all about?" Y/n asked the water fairy as Musa and Terra came back into the room. "We need to talk about Bloom, she's been single minded about her birth parents and Rosalind for weeks, and now it seems like she doesn't care at all. Are we actually meant to believe that she is just over it?" Aisha asked her three room mates and y/n looked around at the three first years. "Perhaps she's trying to deal with the things she's been told?" Y/n suggested causing Aisha to shake her head in disagreement. "I know she's keeping something from us I just don't know what it is. Why is she texting Dane?" "She was texting Dane? Riven says he's still Team Beatrix." Terra stated causing y/n to look at her in confusion. "Somethings going on, I just don't know what." Aisha stated and Musa and Terra nodded in agreement. "I just wanted a normal year." Y/n groaned before leaving the three first years alone and heading to her room, getting ready for bed.

---------------------------------------

Y/n sighed as she walked towards the training area, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her attention came to Riven and Musa and she smiled at their interaction before heading towards where the ice fairies were training. She moved closer towards the benching area when someone grabbed her arm gently.

"Whoa Sky, what?" Y/n asked, catching her breath as the shock went down. "Sorry, where did you go last night? I woke up around 2 and you weren't there." He asked and y/n smiled with a slight chuckle. "You know I always left in the middle of the night last year and yet you always wondered where I got to." Y/n mocked him and Sky nodded, rolling his eyes. "Yeah well forgive me for caring about my friend." Sky stated and y/n laughed gently. "I headed back to my suite, did you know Stella left Alfea with her mom" "Yeah, she never told me but I assumed with what was going on, you know her mom, goes wherever she pleases and does whatever she likes." "True, I'm sorry she didn't tell you." Y/n spoke sympathetically, taking Sky's hand in hers. "Hey that's the way our relationship was messy and on and off and...." "Toxic." Y/n finished causing Sky to laugh slightly. "Yeah, possibly." "Hey I don't have anything on apparently and neither do you, why don't we head to somewhere quite." Y/n suggested, looking at Sky as he nodded his head. "Sure, why not." Sky smiled and the two headed off away from the training area.

Y/n smiled softly and wrapped her arm around Sky's as they walked through the woody area in silence. Sky looked down and smiled at his fairy friend before turning his head at the sound of rustling in the distance. Y/n looked up in confusion as Sky stopped before hearing it too. Scrunching her eyes, y/n moved towards the noise with Sky following close behind. Her eyes widened when she seen Bloom at the magic circle, performing some form of magic.

"This where the overachievers hang out?" Sky stated sarcastically, moving out of the bushes to stand in front of Bloom as she turned towards them. "Yeah it get's uh, loud in the suite." Bloom stated, eyeing y/n as she came into view. "What's that?" Sky asked Bloom, nodding at the metal object that Bloom had covered quickly with a book. "That is a book. Bit concerned you've never seen one." Bloom stated sarcastically causing y/n to lift her eye brows in shock. "I don't want to do this Bloom." Sky sighed, shifting his feet slowly." "Hmm?" Bloom hummed in question. "I don't wanna lie to each other and I don't wanna play a game." Sky stated as y/n moved closer to Bloom. "There's no game." Bloom stated as she moved to block y/ns path. "Silva wanted me to watch you, I told him that he was crazy, that there was nothing going on. And that you were frustrated and you wanted answers and you were gonna find..." "You've been spying on me? And you just blindly did what he said." Bloom asked, moving closer to Sky in a threatening way. "He gave me an order." Sky stated. "Which he could of given to anyone but he used you, used our friendship, are you..." Bloom sighs in frustration, "But I'm the bad guy right." She stated in dibelief.

Y/n looked down as Sky looked at Bloom with sorrow in his eyes only for said fire fairy to scoff and move away from him and towards her bag. Y/n groaned as Sky followed after her and grabbed the book she held in her hand, opening it to reveal the metal object Bloom had covered a few moments ago. Y/n moved closer to Sky to see as Bloom tried to avoid eye contact with either of them when Sky threw the book down, looking at the object.

"What is this Bloom?" Y/n asked as Sky looked up at the red haired fairy, waiting for an answer. "I'm trying to be on your side here but your making it really difficult." Sky stated as Bloom looked up at him, "Bloom, you can trust me" "I'm not sure I can trust you, But maybe I can convince you that what I'm doing is right." Bloom stated, looking down with determination. "Help us understand." Y/n stated, and Sky glanced at her before turning his attention back to Bloom. "Have you ever heard of Aster Del?" Bloom asked Sky.

Y/n moved towards the book and began to read over it as Bloom began to explain the Sky all about Alfea. The latter stood in silence, placing the piece of metal down onto the stone as he listened to the fire fairy explain everything. Y/n glanced at him as he began to speak.

"I've lived in Alfea all my life, Silva raised me." Sky stated in disbelief. "I saw Aster Del with my own eyes." Bloom stated, leaning against the stone. "He'd never help massacre an entire village." "Even if he thought he was killing the burned ones? If he thought he'd save more lives in the future?" Bloom stated and Sky sighed, moving to stand beside Bloom as she turned to face away from the stone circle, y/n watching on.

"I don't think that Dowling and Silva are evil Sky. I think that they are protecting this place but they are also protecting themselves. So, whatever happened that day whatever the truth is there not going to tell me." Bloom stated, looking up at Sky as he looked down at her. "I know what it's like, not to know your parents." Sky stated and y/n smiled sadly, moving towards Sky and taking his hand in support, knowing the sensitivity of the subject. "At least those who raised you know your parents. You had stories, you saw pictures." Bloom stated.

Y/n looked down, removing her hand from Sky's and wrapped her arms around herself, remembering her parents fondly. She felt Sky bring a hand to her back before looking up when she heard fire light up.

"Right, cause you never need anyone's help." Sky stated as Bloom grabbed a water bottle from her bag. "Part of my charm." Bloom stated with a smile, handing the water bottle to Sky. "Frustration charm." Sky stated, taking the water bottle and moving to open it. "Cause your a fixer and I don't need to be fixed." Bloom stated as Sky took a drink from it. "I am a fixer, what'd you expect?" Sky asked as he offered the bottle to y/n before moving away when she took it. "I'm the son of a war hero raised in Alfea. I've heard more stories about the great Andreas than I can count. It's almost like he's still alive. But he's not, he's an ideal. Do you have any idea what it's like to live up to him?" Sky looked back as Bloom walked towards him "Hey, Sky "Bloom comforted him as y/n threw the bottle she held onto the stone circle to go towards Sky. "I'm a fixer cause I have to be, 'cause I'm supposed to be. Because, when I fix other people I don't have to think about how fucking broken I am." Sky stated and tears caught y/ns eyes as she went to comfort her friend when she felt dizzy. "Sky.." Bloom stated, bringing a hand up Sky's arm in comfort. "We're all broken Bloom, there's a charm in that too." Sky stated, moving closer to Bloom.

"Sky." Y/n called out, starting to lose her vision. "Y/n." Sky stated, moving away from Bloom and towards y/n as she landed on the ground. "Y/n" Sky told out, trying to reach his friend only to lose his balance dramatically. "Woah, what's happening?" "I'm sorry, it's just a sedative, Dane said it would just last for a little bit. I'm so sorry." Bloom apologized before Sky crashed to the ground beside y/n with a thump."

Make it to Christmas 1/3

Info: Christmas for the Shelby clan were never special, but this year seems t be the worst as y/n, the youngest, has been diagnosed with the illness that takes many away.

Set in season 1

Masterlist

All was quiet in the Shelby household, all were asleep bar Tommy who sat in his office working on some papers that were due. His thoughts were stalled as he hears movement around the halls upstairs and a door slamming against a wall before sounds of chocking, causing him to sigh and move to stand up, knowing who it was.

Y/n Shelby had been sick for the last five days, and it seemed to be getting progressively worse. For an eleven year old her energy had severely deteriorated and anything she ate always came back up, that was if she ate anything at all. She spent majority of her time in bed, sleeping most of the day.

Tommy sighs as he makes his way up the stairs to check on his sister. Arriving at the bathroom door he seen Polly sitting on her knees beside the young girl, holding her hair back and rubbing her back in comfort, muttering kind words as her youngest niece struggled to keep anything down. Hearing noise, Polly looked up to see Tommy standing in the doorway, who glanced at his oungest sibling before looking at Polly.

-------------------------------------------

“It’s been five days Pol, something ain’t right.” Tommy stated, not liking his sister being sick.

“I know that Thomas, hardly think this is normal.” Polly snapped at her nephew, worry get best of her.

“Pol.” Tommy warned, moving his head to y/n, saying not to stress her out.

“Tommy.” Y/n whined after she finished heaving, hearing her older brother and wanting his comfort.

“Hey there little angel, still not feeling great aye?” He asked, causing Polly to glare at him.

“I’m tired, and sore and icky. I don’t like it, I want it to end, I want to get better.” She whined as she coughed, bringing her hands up as an indication for Tommy to lift her.

“I can imagine that it isn’t pleasant, but you will get better. Why don’t you and aunt Pol go to the doctors today, he can give you something to make you feel better, how’s that for ya?” Tommy asked, picking up his sister despite Polly’s protests and grabbing a rag from the bathroom sink, wetting it and wiping her face gently with it.

“What’s the doctor going to do for her, she has the stomach bug that’s all. Nothing rest can’t fix.” Polly stated, not liking the idea of going to the doctor only to be told the girl needs rest.

“If it was a stomach bug I’m pretty sure it would’ve gone by now. Just bring her Polly, all they can say is that there isn’t anything wrong.” Tommy stated, allowing y/n to place her head on his shoulder, her eyes closing with tiredness once again.

“I swear Tommy she has you wrapped around her finger.” Polly stated wit ha shake of her head.

“Her health is important Polly, I thought you prioritized that.” Tommy stated before moving out of the bathroom and heading to put his sister down for bed once again, kissing her head before leaving.

"Lord, watch over y/n and I pray that she get's over this bug amen." Polly prayed before heading back to bed.

Next morning, y/n and Polly sat around the kitchen table, waiting for Tommy to return with the doctor. Y/n sat sluggish in her chair, appearing to be struggling to keep herself up right as she lay her head on her arms which were crossed on the table. In her hand was her Christmas teddy that she always had on her from the moment it hit December 1st, being the teddy that John had given her shortly after returning from the war.

Y/n loved Christmas, always had from the moment she understand what Christmas was about. She loved to decorate the house in the little amount of decorations the Shelby family had. The Shelby's were never really into doing Christmas, seeing it as another day, and if it wasn't for y/n they probably wouldn't even celebrate Christmas.

Polly looked away from her niece as the door was heard opening, and stands up when she sees Tommy walk in with the doctor behind him. Seeing her looking at him, Tommy nods at her before moving towards his sister, crouching beside her and placing a hand on her back to try wake her up a bit, only for her to whine, feeling discomfort from touch and moving away from her brother. Tommy frowning and looked at Polly, both knowing it was strange for the youngest Shelby to deny affection.

The doctor moves towards y/n who looks up in confusion, eyes beady due to tiredness. Seeing an unfamiliar face, she frowns and looks at Polly before moving hands, wanting to be picked up. Polly clicked her tongue in frustration, shaking her head in disapproval at her niece, causing y/n to whine again, not liking her aunt’s reluctance to pick her up

“Y/n the doctors here.” Polly stated, glancing at the doctor as he watched how the youngest Shelby reacted against her brothers contact.

“I’ll leave you too it.” Tommy stated ,clearing his throat and moving to his office, closing door tightly.

Y/n sighs before groaning in discomfort as she wiggled in her seat. The doctor took this as a sign that the young girl was ready and made his way over to her. Seeing y/n's eyes flutter with tiredness the man sighed kindly and began working quickly to prevent further discomfort for the girl. He checked her temperature, back of the throat, her walking abilities and a urine sample. At the end y/n was nearly falling asleep, causing the doctor to become concerned.

“Y/n, the doctor is here to look over you, will you be good for him and let him do his work.” Polly instructed to young girl, knowing this could go one of two ways.

“I want Tommy.” Y/n stated tiredly, her voice ruff after the severe coughing episode she had earlier.

“I’m sure Tommy will come back when it’s over, now come on, be a big girl now.” Polly stated with a bit of roughness, wanting this to be over with.

-----------------------------------

“Does she always appear tired.” He asked Polly, who stood in the corner of the kitchen out of the way.

“Most days, especially after any vomiting episodes.” Polly stated, sounding as if she knew what it was her niece had.

“And her temperature, she appears to have a fever, how long has that been going on.”

“Around five days, she always gains a fever when she’s sick.”

“And you say she’s been vomiting for nearly a week?”

“Like I said doctor it’s just the stomach bug, all children get it. They lose their appetite, have aches and pains, get sick, rise a fever, and then it runs its course. Tommy’s worrying for nothing.”

“Actually Mister Shelby has every right to be worried. Because young y/n here doesn’t have the stomach bug. A stomach bug wouldn’t last as long as it has, at least not as severe. With her fever, redness of the throat likely caused by her abrupt coughing episodes and vomiting as well as the aches and pains you say she’s been complaining about, young y/n is suffering from more than just the stomach bug, or any common illness for that matter.” The doctor stated, pointing out all the symptoms.

“Well, what is it then?”

"I'm afraid young y/n Shelby here, has the Spanish flu." The doctor stated causing Polly to look at him in horror.

Each of the Shelby siblings didn't know what to say, their baby sister had caught the illness that majority of people died from if caught. Arthur stared ahead, not knowing what to think, John looked down, regretting the joke he made and feeling fear for his baby sister, Ada tried to hold back tears while Finn allowed the tears to fall, not wanting his twin to go. Tommy stood frozen, refusing to look at anyone as he tried to process the news his aunt just said. Y/n was the Shelby's little angel, from the moment she was born she was their light, the thing that helped the brothers when they returned from war. Without her it would become darkness.

“Polly, what’s going on, why did you call a family meeting?” Ada asked, watching her aunt in confusion as the woman paced around the floor, worry clear on her face.

After the doctor had diagnosed the youngest Shelby- he had warned Polly of the likelihood of her getting worse instead of better- though poor Polly knew this as not many people were known to survive around the town if they caught the lethal disease, with the majority of them dying weeks after their diagnoses- with how y/n’s little body was reacting to the disease it was likely to take it’s toll on the youngest Shelby’s body quickly, meaning she likely wouldn’t make it to the end of the year- hence why she was sent to bed before her siblings were called to hear the news.

“Right Pol, what is it? What’s so important that you had to call us all here aye?” Tommy asked, barging through the front door and stalking towards the kitchen table.

“I need everyone to keep a clear head and remain quiet as I tell you this alright. Y/n’s in bed and needs her rest.” Polly stated, not wanting to wake y/n up.

“Bloody hell Pol your talking as if someone’s dead.” John stated, shaking his head slightly at the dramatics of the situation.

“Pol, what is it? What did the doctor say?” Tommy asked, seeing the seriousness in Polly’s face.

“Y/n’s sick, really sick.” Polly started, looking at each Shelby sibling before continuing, “And I don’t want any of you to start worrying alright, because it won’t make it any easier.”

“Pol, what’s wrong with our y/n?” Arthur asked, not liking the way Polly was talking.

“Y/n has the Spanish flu. The doctor said with her symptoms it’s likely she’s been infected for a while.” Polly stated, waiting to hear the reaction.

“But she seemed fine last week.” Finn stated, looking at his aunt in confusion.

“The doctor said it will get worse, and there is a chance.” Polly stopped, wanting to get control of her emotions before continuing, “There is a chance that she may not survive this. Her bodies not able to keep up with it.” Polly looked down as silence fell around them.

Polly sighs, knowing the Shelby stubbornness was strong when it came to little y/n. She also knew that this would break the family, regardless of the outcome. And all Polly could do was pray, and hope, that y/n would at least make it to Christmas, her favorite time of year.

“Is she asleep?” Tommy asked, moving towards the stairs.

“Yes, and I don’t want anyone going into her. Don’t need anyone else catching it.” Polly stated forcibly, moving towards Tommy as he scoffed.

“You expect us to not be there for our sister when she’s ill, you clearly don’t know us Polly.” Tommy stated harshly.

“we’re not leaving her Pol, she needs us. And if she doesn’t make it we need her too.” Finn stated, sniffling from the tears.

Scared and alone (8/12)

Info: Sky and Riven beat themselves up as they realize how hurt their friend is. Y/n tells them all that has happened and they vow to be there for her and help her through it. After a much needed cry together y/n feels like she has them back, but how long till she's endagered?

Masterlist

Silence fell around the air as Riven and Sky leaned against the greenhouse, breathing heavily. The specialists said nothing as they beat themselves up on how they didn't realize and weren't there for her.

"We should of been there." Sky stated, breaking the silence.

"If only we had known. Then we wouldn't of just brushed her to the side." Riven replied, pushing his head against the wall.

"We shouldn't of pushed her to the side regardless."

"No, we shouldn't of." Riven admitted in defeat.

"We have to protect her. Help her get through this." Sky stated, looking at Riven.

"You got that right." Riven stated before the door opened.

Silva walked out and turned to them and gave them a stern look. Seeing the look of concern his two students gave him caused him to shake his head.

"You guys are complete idiots, you know that." Silva stated, crossing his arms with disapproval.

"We know." Sky sighed, looking down in defeat.

"That girl, your friend who you consider family, has been through hell and when she needed someone you just left her there with no one. And now look at her, she has nearly lost the battle with her magic, wants them to be gone, all because she didn't get the help she needed from those she cares about the most."

"Dig the knife deeper why don't you." Riven muttered, causing Silva to snap his head to him.

"It seems I have to Riven in order for you to understand just how hurt she is. She needed you, and you weren't there." Silva ended his rant, pointing at the door which held the broken girl behind it.

The two looked down in shame, knowing that their trainer was right. Silva looked ahead at them and shook his head before looking into the distance for a second.

"How is she?" Sky eventually asked, taking the silence as an invitation to ask.

"Weak, but she wants to see you both." Silva stated, causing the two boys to look up before rushing towards the door.

--------------------------

Y/n watched as Harvey wrapped her wounds on her wrist. She flinched as he applied pressure to a recently opened one. Harvey finished the last section when the door opened causing both student and teacher to look up.

Y/n sighed and looked away as Sky and Riven walked cautisly through the door, looking at where y/n sat. Harvey got up from his crouched position and looks at the boys before leaving the greenhouse. Dowling, who had been watching from the corner, nodded at the boys before following Harveys lead.

The three friends stayed in silence, memories of what had happened coming back to them. The first to snap out of it was Sky, who pushed Riven gently as he walked towards y/n, who kept her head down. She didn't move as Sky sat beside her on the bed, Riven crouching in front of her.

"My parents died before school term started." Y/n stated after a moment of silence.

The two boys looked at each other with sadness.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Riven asked, clasping his hands together.

"I tried but whenever I did you left with the girls so I just gave up."

"If you had told us we would of stayed with you. You mean so much more to us then some relationship."

Y/n looked at the boys before busting into tears. Sky sighed before pulling her into his chest, shushing her gently as he rubbed her arm gently, kissing the top of her head as her head rested against his chest. Riven took her hand in his, caressing her knuckles gently with his thumb. He turned her hand over gently when he seen the bandages before bringing her hand u and kissing her wrist softly causing her to look up at him with her watery eyes.

"Please don't hurt yourself again." He pleaded, rubbing his thumb over the bandages gently.

"And don't get rid of your magic." Sky added causing her to look up at him before placing her head back lying against his chest.

The trio stayed quite as they just stayed in each others company. Y/n sighs as she wipes her eyes as tears fell. Every now and then Sky would squeeze y/n reassuringly as she hiccupped. Riven sat on the floor with his back towards the bed, not letting go of Y/ns hand.

------------------------------------

The door opened, startling the three half asleep students. They looked up as Harvey walked back into the greenhouse, closing the door behind him. He smiled sadly as he seen the three friends clinging to each other for comfort. Sky and y/n had resorted to lying on the bed, y/ns head on Sky's chest while Riven had his head leaning against her knee, his hand still clutching hers.

"I think it's time for you two boys to head to your dorms. Y/n needs her rest and your curfew is almost up." Harvey stated with sympathy in his voice.

"Can we stay with her?" Sky asked, both reluctant to leave her alone.

"I think it's best if you give her some space, she's had a tiring day." Harvey stated.

"It's ok guys, you can go. I'll see you tomorrow." Y/n spoke tiredly, entwining her and Riven's fingers together and cuddling up to Sky a little more.

"We'll be back tomorrow." Sky promised, kissing her head before moving off the bed.

"Don't do anything stupid." Riven joked, causing y/n to smile as he kissed her cheek.

She watched as the two boys left through the door before curling on the bed, pulling the blanket under her chin. Harvey turned to her and gave her a soft smile.

"Ge some sleep, I'll be in my office if you need me." He stated, pointing in the direction of his office.

Y/n nodded and watched as he left the room, closing the door till there was a jar. She sighed and curled further under the covers before closing her eyes, allowing darkness to consume her.

"Don't listen if someone says you aren't good enough" Peter Parker x sister

Details:  Peter and his sister y/n live in the Avengers tower with Tony Stark as their guardian. At home, she seems fine but in school, she's far from fine. With the bullying being constant she ends up making herself ill/ How will the avengers react when they find out?

Ding!!! The bell went off, signalling the end of school. Y/n gathered her bits and pieces before heading towards her locker. Once sorted she closed her locker and turned to see a group of girls. Not just any girls, r/g/n's (Random Girls Name) group.

"Oh look, it's the orphan." R/g/n teased causing the other three girls to laugh. "Leave me alone r/g/n" Y/n sighed, trying to get by. "Oh we haven't even started yet." R/g/n stated, pushing her back into the lockers/

Y/n looked over the group of girls heads to see her brother and his best friend Ned walk out of the school. She sighed as Happy drove off.

"I bet her parents killed themselves to get away from her. I mean, who could live with that face living with them." Another girl in the group stated. "I know I can barely stand seeing it in school." R/g/n agreed as the others laughed. R/g/n grabbed y/n's chin, forcing her to look her in the eye.

"Your just a nobody y/n. Just face it. Your ugly, fat and somebody no one cares about. You could die today and no one would care. Peter just acts like he cares about you but he doesn't give a damn. As soon as he's able to leave you, he will. Your a loner and no one will ever want you. Your a pain to everyone. The fact that I'm talking to you right now is a miracle. Do us all a favor and leave. Never return here again." R/g/n hissed at y/n before throwing her away from the group. "Stay away from here slut." One yelled. "We don't want to see you until you lose some pounds." Another followed as y/n left. "More like lose the ugliness." R/g/n stated to her group once y/n was out of sight causing the girls to laugh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"What about y/n?" Peter asked as Happy drove off. "She was late so I headed off." Happy replied. "But hows she supposed to get home?" "She has feet doesn't she?" "Well yeah but........" "Listen kid, Tony wants you home as soon as possible. Y/n will be fine on her own." Peter sighed and slouched in his seat. "What does Tony want that we couldn't wait for y/n?" "I don't know Peter. Why don't you ask him when we get there?" Happy exclaimed, getting annoyed. "Still think we should of waited." Peter said after a moments silence. "Peter." Happy exclaimed causing Peter to keep quiet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/n entered the Avenger tower lobby. She quickly got in the elevator and pressed the top floor.

"Miss Y/n, welcome back." Jarvis voiced as Y/n stood in the elevator. "Thank you Jarvis." "Shall I inform the others of your arrival?" "No!! I mean, no Jarvis, thank you. I'm a little tired so I think I might lay down." "You do seem pale miss Y/n, shall I inform Doctor Banner to check on you?" "No Jarvis, there will be no need. I should be fine after a good rest." "Alright. I'll wake you when dinner is ready." "Don't bother. I'll get it when I wake." Y/n lied. "Very well. Rest well miss y/n." "Thank you Jarvis." Y/n sighed as she pulled her curtains closed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jarvis, inform everyone that dinner is ready." Pepper asked. "Informing tower residents of dinner." Jarvis recited.

One by one the avengers slowly piled into the kitchen. They each grabbed a plate before heading into the kitchen. Tony messed with Peters head as he passed him before eating in silence.

"Where's y/n?" Peter asked after a few minutes silence. "I don't know, she should be down here by now." Pepper stated. "Jarvis,where's y/n." Tony asked. "Miss y/n is sleeping sir. She asked me not to disturb her if dinner was ready before she woke." Jarvis said. "Why on earth is she sleeping at 5 during the day?" Natasha asked. "Only one way to find out." Tony stated as he got up and left the room.

Tony left the avengers and made his way to the elevator. Once he got to y/n's room he knocked and waited for an answer. Upon getting no answer he opened the door to see y/n laying in bed. Moving closer he noticed sweat all over her body. He carefully placed his hand on y/ns forehead before pulling it back. He moved the covers and gasped at what he seen.

"Jarvis get doctor banner, now." Tony ordered with worry laced in his voice. "Right away sir." Tell him to hurry."

"Tony, what's wrong?" "Look at y/n." Tony said as he moved towards Bruce. "Oh no." "What?" "Get her to my lab. Jarvis tell Peter to meet us there. I'll go get things sorted." Bruce ordered as he rushed off.

------------------------------------

Y/n slowly began to move. Peter sat up as she slowly opened her eyes. Blinking, she turned to face her brother.

"She's awake." Peter called, turning to face his sister. "WHat happened?" "Your body began to shut down due to lack of food and nutrients." Bruce explained, checking over her. "Wanna explain why you were starving yourself to near death." Tony asked, crossing his arms at the bottom of the bed. "Notings going on." Y/n blurted out. "I didn't ask what was going. But something must be for you to say that." Y/n sighed and looked down. "The girls, they wouldn't leave me alone. Fat, ugly, slut, a nobody, orphan, all they did was go on my looks or how I live. I had enough of it, I wanted to be like them. Pretty, but I wasnt. I thought starving myself would work." "Is that why you cut yourself?" Peter asked sadly. Y/n looked at Peter. "I'm sorry Peter. I know you said I could go to over anything but I felt alone." Y/n said as she broke down. "It's okay, we an help you. You'll get better, I promise." Peter said as he placed his hand on y/ns shoulder.

----------------------------------------------

4 months later, y/n was in the kitchen eating breakfast. With the help of the avengers she became better. She slowly gained weight and soon felt confident in her own body. Tony and Steve had went into the school to talk to the principal and the girls who bullied y/n into starving and cutting herself were suspended till further notice. Overall y/n was much happier the she was to start with. And it was the avengers who, liked true heros, helped her.

Sparkling Lights

Info: Young y/n Bridgerton loves everything to with Christmas, especially the lights that line the streets in December

Relationship: Bridgerton family x sister reader

Anthony Bridgerton watched with a roll of his eyes as his 5 year old sister bounced around the place, excitement evident through her. Today was the first week in December, and the town were going to turn on their lights to officially kick off the Christmas season. Each year they made a big event of it, with the Queen hosting a ball for the newly wedded couples of the year , one which even the children could join. The eldest Bridgerton knew how much his sister loved Christmas, but ever since she could talk it seemed her excitement had grown.

“Y/n, please calm down, you will cause yourself injury.” Anthony scolded the child before looking to the door as his wife walked in. “Oh let her be, she is excited for what’s to come.” Kate smiled, wrapping her arms around her husband from behind. “Yes brother, you do know why y/n is like this.” Benedict remarked from the bay window, paint brush in hand. “I do, but I would much rather not have y/n miss the one ball she can attend to.” Anthony raised his voice at the last bit, looking at y/n as she quietened down. “How much longer?” The little girl whined to her brothers, running over to pull out of Anthony’s arm. “Perhaps you should go find mama, getting ready may speed things up for you.” Anthony teased his youngest sister, poking her nose causing y/n to giggle. “I’m gonna wear a red dress.” Y/n remarked, running out of the room. “Oh how lovely, she shall be easy to find should she go missing.” Colin smiled from his spot by the fire. “Colin.” Penelope hushed her husband, not wanting y/n to act up on that statement.

---

“Easy y/n, please.” Voilet’s Voice was heard from up the stairs. “Yes mama.” Y/n’s little voice was heard.

Benedict stifled his laugh from the top of the stairs behind his mother as he watched y/n all but run down the stairs in her little red dress. Her mother had been against the vibrant red, but y/n had managed to convince the retired Viscountess to allow her to get it. Anthony and Kate waited down the stairs, looking up at the young girl that rushed down the stairs, eager to get going. Wanting to prevent any injury, Anthony moved to the last step and picked y/n up, causing her to giggle.

“Well, look at you.” Anthony smiled, holding y/n on his hip before poking her chest lightly. “I wearing red.” Y/n pointed proudly to herself. “I see that.” Anthony smiled, looking at y/n’s colourful dress choice. “You look lovely y/n.” Kate commented her new sister, tucking a piece of hair behind the little ones ear. “Must we all attend tonight.” Eloise asked, coming down the stairs with her mother in toll, tugging at the fabric of her dress. “Yes, we are going as a family. I will hear no complaints.” Voilet tapped her daughters shoulder, giving her the eye to stop fidgeting. “I agree, what a wonderful thing for us all to attend.” Colin stated, coming down with Hyacinth & Gregory beside him. “Are we all ready?” Violet asked her children, sharing a look with Kate. “Let’s go, let’s go.” Y/n wiggled in her brothers grip, trying to get out. “Don’t wander y/n, and put on your coat.” Anthony called out to his sister. “Should you think she heard you?” Eloise asked her brother, watching her baby sister run off. “I don’t believe so.” Benedict shook his head, causing Anthony to glare at him before taking the youngest’s jacket from the door man.

---

The town was packed with families from all over London, and Violet struggled to hold y/n’s hand as she tried to drag her mother towards the front. Seeing his mother’s struggle, Benedict took y/n’s hand before picking her up, ignoring as little hands tried to push him away.

“For a better view.” Benedict remarked, and y/n stopped at that.

Anthony and Kate walked hand in hand, smiling at each other as they walked the streets. Behind them was Penelope and Colin, who were laughing at something Penelope had observed. Hyacinth and Gregory walked obediently in front of the adults, and Eloise tagged along behind them, folding her arms as if all she wanted was to get away from here. The night was chilly, but the crowds made it tolerable. Feeling her brother come to a stop, y/n grew excited and looked around, giddy for what was to come. Violet placed her arms around Hyacinth and Gregory as they all waited for the lights to turn on.

Y/n bounced in her brothers arms as the crowd started to count down. She wasn’t very good with numbers, but she knew when the crowd started chanting, the lights would soon turn on. Benedict kissed his sisters cheek as she leaned closer to him, thinking it would help her to see. She clapped happily when the lights turned on, causing her brother to laugh.

“You happy y/n?” Benedict teased her, adjusting her to have a comfortable hold on her. “They’re so sparkly.” Y/n spoke in amazement, looking above at the strands of light. “There just lights y/n, nothing special.” Gregory remarked, and Violet squeezed him tighter. “Don’t upset your sister Gregory.” Violet stated, not wanting to catch a scene. “She’s so amazed.” Penelope stated, smiling slightly at the youngest. “Ever since our y/n has been a babe she has loved the lights.” Colin explained to his wife. “She was only in mothers arms when she would stare up at them with a wide smile.” Benedict admitted, tucking some hair behind y/n’s eyes. “We used to have a small set of Christmas lights on her roof so she would sleep because she didn’t understand where they went.” Anthony explained, an arm around his wife’s waist. “We don’t know why, she just took to them.” Benedict shrugged, watching his sister with a smile. “I wanna touch them.” Y/n stated, and Anthony jumped forward to grab her hand. “No no, hot y/n.” Anthony spoke harshly, trapping her arm in his hand. “Aww.” Y/n pouted, not understanding. “When does the party start?” Hyacinth asked, wanting to go to the ball. “Ball Hyacinth, not party.” Violet corrected her, “We’ll make our way now.” “Can I stay here?” Y/n asked, glaring at Anthony as she pulled away from him. “Sorry y/n, you’ll see them on the way home.” Anthony smiled at his sister, who frowned in disappointment.

--------------------------------------

For the duration of the night, y/n never moved from the window, staring out at the light. She smiled at the sparkling of them at the window, and Benedict chuckled at his youngest sisters antics.

“She really loves those lights.” Benedict admired. “I do wish she would stay away from the window.” Violet sighed, eyeing her youngest. “She’s only five, leave her be.” Lady Danbury commented with a slight smile.

“Hey y/n, you gonna move away from the window any time soon?” Colin asked, smirking at his sister. “They’re so pretty.” y/n murmured, dancing her finger along the window. “They’ll still be there tomorrow night. Come dance with us.” Colin smiled, offering his hand. “Can we dance near the window?” Y/n asked, fluttering her eyelashes. “Well I..” “We can dance wherever you like.” Benedict interrupted her brother. “Hey, don’t steal my dance partner.” Colin joked, hitting Benedict on the chest. “You have Penelope, I have no one.” Benedict announced dramatically, taking y/n’s hand before twirling her. “Make sure we can see the lights.” Y/n stated. “We can see the lights, don’t worry.” Benedict smiled, taking her into his arms to make sure she could see them.
