so here's something because i'm extremely bored. alice, of course, is a character in every single fanfic who acts as a helping character of sorts. kind of sort of takes place during Charlie Bone and the Talents' Masters wedding but I will not be continuing that. Also, since the release date for Charlie Bone and the Red Knight isn't until May, I obviously haven't read it yet. so this is spoiler free. Please excuse the fact that this is going to be complete crap because I haven't done fanfic in so long.
my name is zelda dobinski
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and I'm supposed to be getting married to a childhood friend I had a crush on once. I don't want to have anything to do with it. Right now, I've found a shop. The shop is owned by a girl named Alice and her boyfriend, Ricky. Alice is pyrokinetic; Ricky can control certain time and space, which is why the shop moves locations without leaving a single scrap...
But I digress.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and I am telekinetic. I am endowed. The blood of the Red King flows through my veins. That's why my father wants me to marry Manfred Bloor, the son of the headmaster of Bloor's Academy. I went to Bloor's at one time. That was a long time ago, and the juxtaposition of this life against my old life is quite startling. I went from a well-to-do family of telekinetics, to being the fiancee of someone who doesn't even want me, to being a waitress at The Shop. The Shop has no name, and you can't find it by looking for it. Some people use it for a night, others live at the shop. Alice takes good care of her "customers", those who seek a place to stay.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and I would like nothing more to jump off the highest tower on the night of my honeymoon. I know it is coming. I can't stay here forever. I've put my cousins at risk. I am sure that they most probably have been killed or used as ransom. The tables have turned on me in recent years. At one time, when I was still very much in love with Manfred, I would hold other children such as Charlie Bone or Emma Tolly hostage.
Now I have been held hostage.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and my fiance locked me in a tower the night I escaped. I escaped with a cloak, a book, and a pencil box that an old friend and I used to play with. I suspect Manfred was furious at me for escaping, but somehow I don't care. I cried myself to sleep so many night sleeping in the drama room for so many years. Enough was enough.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old and I was in love with someone called Asa Pike. He crashed my betrothal ball and swept me off my feet. I ran away from Manfred, from the father who betrayed me, from everyone, from a marriage I did not ask for, with Asa. We were caught. Asa was killed shortly thereafter, and my heart was ripped out of my body for all I care. I was locked in the tower for the first time. The same tower where the former Mrs. Dorothy Bloor was locked during her marriage to Dr. Bloor, Manfred's father.
Dr. Bloor's grandfather killed Asa.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and my heart is on the floor. I can hear the drums for my final death march into a loveless marriage approaching. I've put Alice, Ricky, and all of the other "customers" at risk, as well as my family. I am going to die. I am going to kill myself. I am Zelda Dobinski, I am nineteen years old, and I am not getting married.
My name is Zelda Dobinski, I am 19 years old, and it will stay that way until the end of time.

So yeah. that was it. all of that stuff is what would have happened during talents master's wedding but talents master's wedding had a happier ending. zelda doesn't kill herself, she falls for manfred and viceversa, and the wedding takes place. i just don't have the energy to write anymore, unless it's poetry.
