Blossom sighed, exiting out of the tab and back to her original question. What is a banshee? It was typed in bold letters across the search bar of Google. Blossom had been scrolling through websites, receiving the same answer in every one for the past 3 hours. She was about to give up when a certain green link caught her attention. She hesitated, but clicked on it nonetheless. She was greeted with the famous emblem of the royal family, under the emblem, in tiny yellow letters read:
'The contents of this page have been removed by the Royal family, they have been replaced with content that his majesty finds more suitable for the country.'
Blossom's tense shoulders slumped back down to their original, disappointed state. She scrolled down the page and found the word Banshee, underneath it there was but only a single sentence.
'A Banshee is a monster near the bottom of the social class structure'
Blossom clenched her fists and punched the power button on the rusty computer, effectively killing its power. She stood up, letting her greasy orange hair fall past her bony hips, stopping at her quarter thigh. She looked out of her bedroom window, the moon had only risen an hour ago. Blossom glared at the moon before she let herself become weightless, floating a good foot above the ground. She lazily floated out of her bedroom, into the shared bathroom of her, her dad, and her four sisters. She could hear her family, playing cards in the dining room. Usually, she would join them, but a certain question was glued inside her mind. What was a Banshee? She turned and looked in the bathroom mirror, looking at her disheveled figure. This action was followed by a bitter chuckle, as she looked at her perfect face and flawless body. The answer should've been simple,
"Me" she said quietly, hiding her deep, peachy pink eyes behind her bangs. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her second oldest sister, Buttercup, cheering as she won yet another game of cards, causing the house to shake slightly. Blossom was the oldest out of the 5 of them, although being the same age, she was a few minutes older than Buttercup. She smiled fondly, thinking of her careless sisters. All 5 of them were Banshees, like their mother. However, being Banshees seemed to be the only thing that they had in common, all different heights and different colors. Their mother had died giving birth to the quintuplets. Blossom sighed and removed her dirty, old clothes before stepping towards the shower, engulfing herself in the cold water. She had only showered 6 times since the girls had gotten out of school, and tomorrow, her schooling nightmare would begin once again. People hit on her, tried to touch her, and overall treated her and her sisters like they were some sort of sex slaves to the rest of them. If she didn't have Bunny and Buttercup she was sure that she and her other sisters would have had their virginity taken from them freshman year. Luckily, the five of them had survived 2 years in that hellhole, they were juniors now. Blossom finished her quick, cold shower and headed back to her room. once she was back in her room she slipped off her towel, threw on some baggy clothes, and braided her long hair, ensuring it would be wavy the next day. She flopped down on her small bed, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. She began attempting to knock the fearsome question from her mind. Suddenly, her creaky wooden door was flung open, knocking straight into her computer desk.
"Sorry, Bloss" said the shaky sweet voice of Bubbles, the youngest of her 4 sisters. Blossom sat up on her bed and smiled at her kind sister.
"Don't worry about it, I do it all the time" she said before giggling. Bubbles looked down at the side of the desk with her baby blue eyes to see multiple scratches and dents. Bubbles took two steps forward, reaching the small bed easily, and sat down beside her sister. "So, what did you need?" Bubbles sat up straight, remembering why she had entered her sister's cramped room in the first place.
"There's big news!" Bubbles said, while shaking Blossom's shoulders. Blossom placed her slightly darker hands over her sister's in an effort to make her quit. Bubbles let her sister go and apologized, receiving a giggle from Blossom.
"So? What's your big news?"
"The royals..." she stopped, trying to shovel suspense onto her sister, "Are coming to our school!"
"What?"
"There are some rumors that they're looking for their mates!" Bubbles was about to start bouncing off of the walls. The younger sister took great pride in knowing everything about the royals, Blossom, on the other hand.
"Maybe we shouldn't go to school tomorrow" Blossom said, looking at her wall, deep in thought. Normally when monsters came in search for mates the girls would just hide in the school, but these monsters weren't as easy to fool. The royals were Vampires, strong, fast, and sly vampires. The idea of one of them getting mated and then the sisters being separated scared the five of them. They couldn't live without each other.
"We have to go!" Bubbles shouted, causing the house to creak slightly, once more. "I may never get the chance to be so close to my idols ever again" Bubbles whispered. She then gave her sister her puppy eyes and within seconds the older sister agreed, begging Bubbles to stop looking at her. At this Bubbles smiled and Kissed Blossom on the forehead. She then happily floated out of the bedroom and closed the door.
Bubbles floated into the bathroom and took a quick, cold shower, the only kind they could afford. She then floated to her own cramped room, identical to all the other rooms in the house. She threw on her cute nightdress. After getting changed, she pulled out the fancy outfit that she had been saving for just the right occasion. A short ultramarine dress with olive green accents and nearly translucent black sleeves with matching tights. She smiled, looking at the beautiful clothes. She then made her way up to her small vanity that had been shoved into the corner of the room. She looked in the mirror and let her blond, curly hair out of it's prison. Her hair ended at the top of her small chest. Her hair hair had natural, beautiful curls, just like her sister, Bunny's did. They were the only two. Buttercup and Bell had straight and Blossom had a mix of the two that she just made into a wavy look. Bubbles fooled around with her hair until she got the look she had been hoping for. She fell asleep with a content smile on her face.
Chirp Chirp
Bubbles' eyes snapped open. She turned her head to see a bluebird perched on her windowsill. She stood up happily and floated over to a wooden bowl that she quickly filled with birdseed. She opened her window and set the bowl by the bird.
"Thank you for waking me up, Fredrick" she curtsied before stumbling around her room, getting dressed. She made her way down the stairs, following the smell of warm pancakes. There on the already set table, 5 plates of steaming pancakes along with a note from their father. He apologized for having to go to work early, like he always did. Bubbles was finishing up her meal when she heard light footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Blossom in a short black dress with a peachy pink sweater over it, black socks that went to her mid thighs and fancy gray combat boots. Her wavy hair was up in a high ponytail, and stuck in it were 2 golden flowers. Bubbles had left her hair down and had fastened the right side away with a single blue flower, that matched her dress perfectly.
"Good morning" Blossom said while letting out a small yawn.
"Don't you want to dress up more?"
"Bubbles, we are not going to meet them, we just need to blend in and hide, do I make myself clear."
"Yes" Bubbles said dejectedly before going to wash her plate off and put on her heeled grey boots. Bubbles rejoined her sister in the kitchen, watching as the steam from the 3 plates began to get weaker and weaker. "What's taking them so long?" She asked, receiving a shrug from her sister. As if the universe had heard her question, the sound of two heeled feet hit the floor. Blossom turned her head to see their 3rd oldest sister, Bell, landing from floating down the stairs. Bell wore a baggy black blouse, tucked into a white skirt with mulberry colored designs that reached a little below her mid-thighs, leveling with her black hairband bound, bright, white hair. Unlike her other two sisters, Bell wore very little make up. Her sisters often joked that if she wore anymore she'd look like a clown. This was because of their sister's extremely pale skin, you could hardly tell her hand apart from a piece of paper. Matching her hair were her beautiful white eyes.
"Still sleeping?" Blossom asked, receiving a nod from her soft spoken sister. A malicious grin grew across the elder's face as she nodded to Bubbles. They each grabbed a plate of pancakes and went to the two rooms of their last two sleeping sisters. Bubbles gulped as she quietly made her way towards Buttercup's bed. She stuck the plate of steaming pancakes under Buttercup's nose and she sat up immediately. Once she spotted the food she jumped out of bed and towards Bubbles, who held the food above her sister's head. Bubbles, despite being the youngest, was the second tallest out of the 5 sisters. Buttercup, to her dismay, was the shortest out of her sisters. Bubbles was only about an inch and a half bigger than her. Blossom was the tallest, 2 and a half inches taller than Buttercup, a whole inch taller than Bubbles.
"Get dressed and you can have breakfast" Bubbles said before exiting her whining sister's room. She saw Blossom leaving Bunny's room in a similar fashion. Bunny was the second shortest of the 5 as well as the second youngest. They both sighed and went back to the Kitchen to find Bell already finished. In a few minutes Buttercup came sliding down the stair rails and tumbled into the kitchen.
"I win!" She cheered, making the house slightly shake. Bubbles scowled at her sister. Buttercup's black hair was left untamed. barely touching her shoulders. She had messy pieces of hair that were some point her bangs that she had cut short. She wore spring green, baggy, ripped up, cargo pants that matched the color of her eyes. She wore a baggy dark green shirt that ended before her belly button, under it she wore a Lime peel colored tank top. She had black finger-less gloves and black converse. Buttercup barely wore any makeup, just a tap of mascara and that was it.
"That's not fair, you don't actually try to make yourself attractive!" Bunny called after Buttercup as she dove into her pancakes. Bunny walked into the room, making Bubbles scowl deeper. She wore a black, short-sleeved, off the shoulder, tube top. She exposed her extremely tan stomach to the world. Bunny had the darkest skin out of all of the sisters, right behind her was Buttercup. She wore purple, high-waisted shorts with her butt covered by her signature plaid button up shirt tied around her waist. She wore black knee socks and white, rubber combat boots.
"Why do you have to dress so..." Bubbles began as Bunny dove into her pancakes.
"Well, I'm sure its hard to understand, but I actually have stuff to show off." Bunny said between bites, motioning to her chest. Bunny had the second largest chest of the five, Buttercup, once again to her dismay, had the biggest. Bubbles wasn't the only one who took this offensively, while she had the smallest boobs of the five, Blossom had the second smallest, and Bell had the third, even though she wasn't too far from Bunny. The three glared at their purple-eyed sister, face covered in dark make up. Bubbles mentally chocked her sister while Blossom yelled at her and Bell glared. She simply stuck her tongue out at them and flipped her curly, dark brown, mid-back length hair over her shoulder.
Bell heard the crumpling of her music sheets in her bag as she crumpled it close to her chest. The five sisters stared at the hellhole before them. High school. A football freshman let out a cat whistle which was plugged up immediately when Buttercup shot him her famous, earth shattering glare. Everyone had dressed up, the girls slutty and the guys looking responsible, to make a good impression. Bunny snickered at a group of guys studying flash cards on etiquette. The five marched their way to class and sat in the very back, at the only table of five. The sisters murmured to each other until the bell rang. Then trouble came in the door. The Toadstool named Princess marched in with her posse of four.
"Um... EXCUSE MEEEEE" she screeched out. Those two fuzzballs on her head she called hair bouncing around. The sisters simply ignored her, to the shock of the student body. "HEY PAY ATTENTION TO ME" she screeched before dumping Bubbles out of her chair, effectively staining her dress. Bubbles froze, so did Blossom and Buttercup. Bunny stood up, her chair falling onto the floor from the force with which she stood. "OH YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT ME" She said before raising a hand to make a jab at Bunny, Bunny was struggling to suffocate the deathly howl balling up in her throat. Princess brought down her hand to slap Bunny when it was caught. the entire class was shocked to see the ever-silent Bell hold Princess' wrist.
"Wow, how old are you, 5? Throwing a hissy fit like a child because you didn't get what you wanted." Her unused voice was as hard as stone.
"YOU'RE MAKING ME SOUND LIKE A CHILD!"
"No, you decided to let people know that fact about you as soon as you entered this room." Bell was completely calm. The teacher suddenly entered and Princess started fake crying.
"You five! Detention!"
"Detention on your first day back" the janitor chuckled at the 5 sisters he had let into detention one too many times.
"Thanks Al" Blossom said entering the room.
"I'm going to go clean off my dress" Bubbles said rubbing a particular dirt stain that she would need equipment for. Her sisters nodded before she made a B-line for the bathroom. It had been a few minutes and she just couldn't get this stain off! Bubbles was so focused she didn't notice the presence behind her.
"Tough fall?"
"More like tough someone slammed me to the ground." Bubbles answered instinctively. She then froze and turned around to find the Vampire Queen before her.
"Let me help, I'm good with this kind of thing, you know?" Bubbles nodded and let the queen work her magic, literally. With a snap of her fingers the dirt flew off of Bubbles.
"Thank you!" Bubbles said with pure relief. The queen nodded,
"Now you should really get back to detention" Bubbles nodded and exited the bathroom, excited to tell her sisters. It was only until Bubbles reached the classroom that she wondered how the queen knew where she had come from.
