Hey there, so this is a direct continuation of Crown me Knight, so for those that didn't read it but still want to know what this is about, here is some intel (spoilers if you haven't read the previous series): Darling knows about Cerise's secret and has spent time with her family and she knows Red Ridding Hood hid the Book of Legends. Then both friends, agreed to watch for each other and decided to do the family tree project together and during their research, Darling figured out her father hadn't signed the actual Storybook of Legends and that's why she and her brothers don't have stable destinies.

Some secrets will be revealed in this fic as well as some couples that have been hinted in the previous fic, chapter Knight&Nights. So that's all I needed to say. For those who did followed this fic, thanks and here we go!


It was out. Cerise didn't know how, but the truth was out there. Not all of it, luckily, but just enough for questions to be made.

Cerise pulled her hood lower while walking down the hall. She could hear all the whispers and gossip about it.

"Her mom was the one to change the books" she could hear the students say.

Cerise frowned biting into her lower lip avoiding gazes. Unfortunately, right in front of her, was a figure expecting her with an unpleasant face.

"Miss Hood, a word at my office, please" Headmaster Grimm demanded. It was no surprise the rumors had made it to the principal, but what might come next was by far the scariest thing in Cerise 's life.

The hooded girl nodded as she was driven inside the office.

Darling was with her brothers when she saw her go in, she was confused, it was barely the first week back to school, what could be so wrong for her to be at Grimm's office? They haven't talked much lately since the day after the Flower Ball, but still, she hoped to know what was going on.

"Can't believe she would be the one, I always thought it was the Evil Queen" a girl said walking to her looker.

"Well, she was her roommate after all"

"Yeah, they even where friends, right?" the other girl said.

"What are you talking about?" Darling asked bluntly, she had earned the right to do so among students since her reputation of a hero went viral.

"Haven't you heard?" the youngest asked "the Hood's secret is out"

"What?!" she exclaimed alarmed, could they all know about Bad Wolf?

"Yeah, her mom, Red Ridding Hood, was the one that hid the Storybook of Legends all those years ago"

"How do you know that?"

"Rumor has it" she answered "and by all the trouble she's getting in, seems like the rumors are true"

Darling bit into her lip, how could they know? No one knew that, it was how Red and Wolf had avoided their own destinies.

"Is that what everyone is talking about?" she questioned worriedly

"The whole school knows about it"

"I wouldn't be surprised if she got hexpelled or something"

"Cerise hasn't done anything wrong" Darling stated in severe voice "You shouldn't be talking behind her back like that"

"Well everyone thinks the same as we do. Her mom did some serious wrong to the balance of our stories, so why should her daughter have her destiny if she risked the stories of all the others?"

Darling sighted, she had no time to argue, but she knew many other students would agree with them "I have to go" she excused herself.


Once she saw her walk out the office, she caught up to her "Cerise" she called, but the hooded girl didn't stop to look back.

"Hey" she grabbed her shoulder turning her around just to find a couple of eyes flooded with tears, she was doing her best not to crumble into crying.

"I hope you are happy" Cerise said in shaky voice.

"What?" Darling asked taken aback.

"I'm sorry that my mom prevented your dad from signing his page, but you didn't have to-"

"You think I did this?" she interrupted "Do you seriously think I would do this to you?"

"Nobody else knew about it, you are the only person outside our family my mom ever told about the book"

"I know that, and I would never betray her trust. I didn't betray you"

Cerise ran the hill of her hand against her eyes "I thought we were friends" she mumbled.

"We are!" she pleaded "you have to believe me"

"How could I?" she dropped her hands to her sides. The bell rang and many students rushed through the halls, the whispers started again. Cerise cleared her eyes, she couldn't let anyone see her cry. Darling just saw her walk away and felt something she hadn't since she was five. She felt powerless to do anything about it.


If you are reading this it means you gave this fic a chance and I thank you for that! I really hope you liked it, even if it wasn't as easy going as previous fics. It will be kind of like this until chapter 4, then some pieces will fall in place. So thanks and see you tomorrow!
