The Tentaculas

Disclaimer: if you recognize it I don't own it.
Thank you in advance for reading and reveiwing.
Venomous Tentaculas are difficult to care for. They are finicky plants, and they tend to die within a year. In Narcissa's book on how to care for plants, the Venomous Tentacula takes up twenty-three and a half pages. The instructions are very clear, if long and drawn out. She follows them exactly.
In the Black family greenhouse Narcissa lovingly tends to her plants. She trims the too aggressive heads, so that they will not kill the others. She prunes the too timid ones, so that they won't die and rot in the pot. She grooms the plant of all its dead leaves and lovingly clears the soil from anything that falls in. She is certain that hers is one of the most perfect examples of the plant.
At the same time her father gave her the plant, he also gave one to Bella. But Bella doesn't follow the instructions. Bella rips off the timid heads, and feeds them to the vicious heads. She doesn't trim the means, largest and most violent heads on the plant. If it were anyone other than Bella, Narcissa might think they weren't trimming them for fear of getting bitten. Bella's plant is large and mean. It's tangled up in its self, steams twisted and tied together in a heaping mass of the green and red of the plant.
Bella's plant scares Narcissa, and she's almost relieved when it dies at the end of the summer.
Read and reveiw and I'll love you!
See?? It rhymes!
- This was pretty much my first attempt at writing something not next-gen. Thoughts?
