1. Chapter 1

Cerise POV

Cerise sprinted through the trees.

Get away. Run. Cerise Wolf growled in her mind.

She hurtled forward, her hood pulled up, her dress soaked and torn. She couldn't believe how wrong things had gone.

The day had started off fine. Sure, Headmaster Grimm had been acting weird, but everyone had dismissed it.

Then they'd learned that the queens of every single kingdom (and the kings) had been arrested. And Headmaster Grimm was now King Grimm.

And everyone there was also under arrest.

Chaos had broken out. Everyone had run all different directions. Kitty had disappeared. Raven had cast an invisibility spell. Ebony had cast one too. Darling had run to her horse, Sir Gallopad, and galloped away. Cupid had soared out, Ramona had run, and Holly and Poppy had fled, with Holly hitting soldiers with her long hair. Others had been captured.

Ashlynn had been arrested. Apple. Blondie. Hunter. Daring. Dexter. Lizzie. Maddie. Briar. So many.

Cerise had run, diving into a shadow, scared for her friends, her family. How had this happened? How could they let this happen?

Run faster.

I am! she responded.

Not far away, branches snapped and broke. They were coming.

Raven POV

Why did this happen? Raven glanced sideways at her twin, Ebony sat silently next to her, her black hair, streaked with less purple than Raven's. Ebony was twisting a small white bone through her fingers, her purple eyes trained on the horizon. Her silver headphones hung around her neck, and she was twisting the bone even faster. See, Ebony was the younger of the two, and she had gotten the destiny of the Bone Queen, Ruler of the Land of the Dead.

Raven glanced away, staring around. The tree they were sitting in creaked, and they both jumped. Then a purple-haired teen appeared.

"Kitty!" exclaimed Raven.

Kitty smiled.

"Did you see anyone else get away?" demanded Ebony, who was clearly worried. After all, her best friend, Rosabella Beauty, might not have escaped.

Kitty sighed. "Cerise jumped into a shadow, Ramona Badwolf ran, Holly and Poppy beat up the guards, Darling called her horse and galloped away, Cupid flew out. I think that's it."

They both slumped. "I guess we better try to find them, so we can get the others free, I don't suppose you found out where they were taken?"

Kitty shook her head.

And first chapter done! Next I'll do what happened to the ones that got caught! Also, Cerise Wolf is basically a wild, uncontrollable version of Cerise. She is usually just a voice in Cerise's mind, but if she takes over, it's bad.
