Chapter One
A Feeling
It was a normal day at Ever After High. At least, that's what I thought. But Headmaster Grimm had different ideas. Wicked ideas. Wicked ideas that involved ME!
I woke up feeling dazed. Something didn't feel right, but I couldn't exactly put my finger on it. I climbed out of bed and quickly hopped into the shower, this time I didn't want to have a cold shower. But I was too late. Ashlynn had beat me again! I shivered as the icy water soaked me. I finished up hastily, not wanting to turn into a human popsicle. I got dressed, grabbed my pink shades, and headed out. I found Apple almost instantly.
"Hey Briar!" she said enthusiastically. Apple's peppy attitude is so contagious, I just couldn't keep moping about my horrible morning.
"Hey Apple." I whispered half-heartedly. She immediately noticed my mood and her friendly smile turned into a truly concerned expression.
"Briar… what's wrong?" ,she said, "You know you can tell me anything." If she wasn't such a good friend of mine I would have lied, but Apple's my best friend. I couldn't lie to her!
"Apple…" ,I sighed, "I don't know what's happening! All I know is I have a bad feeling about today. Why? I don't know." I sounded exasperated.
"Oh, Briar! You must feel so stressed! Don't worry about today. I'll take care of everything! Just one question." she sounded profoundly curious. What did I have to lose?
"Shoot." I half grumbled.
"Okay then! Well, I just wanted to ask… is this " bad feeling" like the feeling you got on toad leg taco day at the castleteria just before Hopper threw up?" she sounded worried. And now that I thought about it I felt worried too.
"Apple, it does feel like that… except about ten times worse." I said feeling scared.
"If that's really how you feel Briar." ,her voice became hard, "Then we're in a lot of trouble."
