Scarlet Browne | 23 | Mother | Witch

Scarlet is a colour, it's also a name, my name. Though I'm not sure why, I was never firey or passionate, instead they should paint me in muted pastels.

Arabella pulled her mother long to see all the booths, her eyes lightening up as she came up to each one. Clearly her four year was having the time of her life, and there was nothing more that Aliza wanted to see. Her child’s happiness was everything to her. Her tiny fingers wrapped around hers as she stood behind another mother and daughter watching. Once the other’s turn was up Arabella turned to her mother, “mommy can I try that too? Please?” She asked only to jump in her spot. “Okay babygirl you can go.“ Walking over she picked up the ring and handed it to her little one. “Is it 12 yet, i’m ready for a nap.”

Angel had already made her way to the apple bobbing next door, excitedly trying to pull out an apple while simultaneously making much more of a mess of water being flung about the place. Scarlet put a hand over her face to hold back a laugh when she heard another speak. “Tell me about it, on the plus side it means she’ll nap for far longer than if she hadn’t been running about today. I think I’ve had enough caffeine today to last me until next year but that’s still not enough with a kid.”

Vada exhaled trying to concentrate, before jumping at the woman’s word. She grinned and nodded. “Thank you, and yeah. I do. It would just be nice for people to realize that not everyone let’s their kid run around without supervision.” She looked down at Autumn and then over at the other’s woman daughter a smile on her face as she crouched down and pulled a sucker from her bag. “Here you go, little one. Your costume is amazing.” She grinned before standing up again and sighing. “I’m sorry you had to see that, I just don’t handle those types of situations very well… or maybe I handle them too well.” She chuckled, holding out a hand, “I’m Vada.” 

Scarlet hadn't meant to make the woman jump for her simple gesture but it was hard for her not to smile politely at her. "Even less so people who are responsible parents and kids get very easily bored around here." Scarlet said with a small shake of her head, Angel's eyes grew wide in appreciation at the sucker that was handed to her and gave Vada a toothy grinned "thank you! I wanted to be a pumpkin!" Angel explained by way of her poofy dress and her crooked, stalk shaped hat. Scarlet couldn't help but smile at how well her little girl had learned manners. "I'll go more for the too well idea, because that was the best shut down I've seen in a long time." She said with a laugh, holding out her hand. "I'm Scarlet, and little miss pumpkin is Angel."

“If your little girl aim is that good you should totally take her to the fishing booth” Aidan mused before he even realized he was saying it out loud as he watched other kids and adults trying their luck with the rings. “She’s going to have a blast. Though I don’t know how funny it’d be to have a army of goldfishes afterward” He added, chuckling at the thought.

“They have a fishing booth this year? Sweet that’s where I come in if Angel doesn’t win it.” Scarlet said with a chuckle as she watched Angel make a face at her, prompting Scarlet to ruffle her little girl’s hair. “An army of goldfish you say? The funny thing is I’ve had that same sort of army of goldfish growing up in a smaller town, at least they’re relatively easy to keep.”

“Quite the arm she’s got there, she’ll do wonders on the school yard. You should take her by the bottle toss,” Catherine smiled at the young girl, ” – I hear they’re giving away a rabbit this year.” she added , whispering it to the younger girl like it was a secret.  

“I think the next one we’re going to is the bottle toss after she’s had time to love the giant puppy and get her firing arm ready again.” Scarlet said with a chuckle, watching Angel’s eyes light up. “Can we get a rabbit mama?” Angel piped up, Scarlet chuckled and nodded. “Yes, but only if you win it.”

“Well, kudos to you, blondie. And what costume will you be going with this year?”

“I’m thinking I might take it down an entirely nerd filled path and dress as a weeping angel.”

cindygautier:

   ❝ THAT’S some real talent you have there kiddo. And I’m being completely rude and probably kind of creepy just talking to your child. But hi I’m Cindy. I probably should have introduced myself way before I started the conversation.  ❞

“Far more talented at sport than I was at her age.” Scarlet said with a chuckle, shaking her head. “Not at all, I’m Scarlet, and this one is Angel. Future baseball star, also probably future leader in some area of life.”

probationaryfae:

“She’s got a good arm on her,” Kevin said, watching the girl get super excited about the toy. 

“Strongest arm on any five year old that I’ve seen.” Scarlet replied, pried filling her words. “I’m thinking baseballer.”

“Go on sweetie, give it a toss.” Scarlet said , cheering as her daughter landed a ring around a witches hat and getting a big stuffed puppy. "Good job!” She said, reaching out to give her daughter a high-five. “Ready to go to the next one?”

[blixcahill-deactivated20180204]

Vada sat behind a table trying to keep a smile on her face. Autumn’s soccer team had asked her to help with a booth and she agreed happily. But now she sat there reluctantly waiting for the next parent that would take over the table to come by and save her from this hell. She had yet to have any fun and she was more than ready to allow Autumn to enjoy the festival as well. 

Her brows perked as she saw the next woman that was supposed to relieve her from the booth walk up and start spouting some excuse about how she had forgot and couldn’t. Her brow knit together in frustration and held up her hand, “No, you’re going to do this just like I had to do this.” She picked up her bag and slung it over her head and across her shoulders, having to readjust her hat. “Your kid has had their fun, and so have you and it’s my kids turn.” She grabbed Autumn’s hand walking around the end of the booth and walking away from the table before groaning. Her hands running through her hair, this festival was going to shit real quick.

Scarlet had watched as another parent tried making excuses for why she couldn’t, laughing at the response she got. She had been the one before and now after having a drink of water and some time to relax she really couldn’t help but feel for her. 

Scarlet held Angel’s hand in one of her hands and picked up a bottle of water. As she reached closer to the woman she held out the bottle of water in one hand. “Here, you look like you could do with a drink. And probably a decent sleep later on.”

“Oh come on, I didn’t do anything but scare him a little. Isn’t that the fucking point of this whole Halloween shit?” Eyes rolled to the back of her head with a reluctant, and dramatic sigh as she tipped her head back. “Fine, fine, but if he pisses me off again, I’m giving him nightmares for a year.” With that, she smiled sweetly, tossing a piece of candy corn into her mouth

[scarletbrowne]

Scarlet’s brows rose as she heard the string of curses coming from the dark haired person in front of her, and for a moment she was glad Angel was still at home with her parents. “Honestly I’m with you. Halloween is all about the scares, at certain levels of course, but scares are what keeps Halloween interesting.”

[cthompsxn]

“— Okay that thing looks like it’s going to rot right through your teeth. Where can I get one?” 

[scarletbrowne]

“Just on the corner back the way I came. I never thought I’d see a cotton candy donut but I guess Halloween always brings out the best treats.”

[sdelxre-blog]

“I already told you. Just because I put the maze together, does not mean I’m going to help you get through it.” Savannah noted with a bright laugh, the corn maze they were currently standing it - at a dead end, masking some of the noise from the fair. “Come on, MacGyver, get us outta’ here.”

[scarletbrowne]

“Hey hey just because I have a kid and can find almost anything, doesn’t mean I know how to find a way out of this place.” Scarlet said with a soft laugh. “But I mean if you want me to MacGyver it I’m sure the corn is a little forgiving and we can squeeze through.”

[rhysabernathy-blog]

“The only thing that makes this Halloween festival remotely decent is the outfits most girls consider costumes.”

[scarletbrowne]

“I’m afraid I don’t give in to the traditional lingerie show. I’d rather scare people with a costume than with my body.”

[scarletbrowne]

She had fallen asleep on a couch in a cafe, thank god it wasn’t time for her to pick up Angel. She gave a sigh as she sat up and stretched, talking to no one in particular. “I’m a mother, I’m ninety-nine percent tired, one-hundred of the time I thank you for allowing me a few minutes to rest.”

“You know, sometimes I think Thoreau had a point. Maybe we should all just drop everything to go live in the middle of the woods.”

[scarletbrowne]

“If I didn’t have a five year old I would live in the woods in a heartbeat.”
