The Cursed:
There is one difference between the movie and this. The Betrothal between Antonio and Luciana never happened, but Ariana still went to jail for poisoning everyone in the kingdom, and trying to bargain with the King and Queen saying she knew the antidote. Antonio and Rosella aren't married, they're just best-friends. They still are in love with each other, but they keep it a secret for the sake of their friendship.
Rosella sighed it had been raining all day, again, and she was starting to wonder how long it would last until she finally lost it, and her sanity crumbles. Okay maybe she wasn't that bored, but she was still bored. I mean come on, she couldn't do anything. The rain and thunder wouldn't let her concentrate when she tried to read, and her mother wouldn't let her go outside in the down-pour, and catch a cold. Who cares if she grew up on a tropical island, where it rains ALL THE TIME. She heard someone come up behind her.
She sighed, "Don't even think about it." She heard her best-friend Antonio sigh, and then sit down on the couch across from her.
"How'd you know it was me?" He asked.
"I know everything." Ro responded, "Where were you all this time?"
"I thought you knew everything." Antonio said cockily. Ro glared at him playfully, and kicked him in the leg.
"You two are so cute together." The two heard a voice from behind them. Ro turned around to see four girls who had just walked in, she recognized them almost immediately; Corinne, Aramina, Renee, and lastly Viveca. The one who talked was red-haired romantic Aramina. Who had refused to believe there was absolutely nothing romantic between Rosella and Antonio.
"We're not in love." They both said at the same time.
"You'll get used to it after a while." Corinne reassured them, being a victim of Aramina's teasing 24/7.
"I hope." Ro said, then she realized something, Paris was on the other side of the world, why are they here, "What are you doing here, anyway?" She hoped it didn't come out wrong.
"Louis gave us the week off, and your mom told us we could come here for the week, and do here we are. I didn't expect it to rain though." Corinne answered, taking up the speaker role as usual.
"Louis?" Ro asked, "Awww . . . you guys are already calling eachother by your first names, how cute, you're going to be together forever."
"No." Corinne groaned, "the last thing we need is another Aramina."
"You already have another Aramina. Remember . . . Luciana. There's also Fallon." Ro said.
"Well, we don't need another one." Corinne said.
"Oh believe me Cori, I'm not a romantic type." Ro said.
"I hope not. I honestly don't think I could stand another hopeless romantic teasing me." Corinne said.
"Cori, Cori, Cori." Rosella chided.
"What?" Corinne asked looking at Ro with a mildly irritated expression. What was with these people? She and Louis were just friends, like the other girls were. Well . . . there was that one time when she helped him into the balloon, but that does not count.
"I said I'm not a romantic, I never said I would not tease you." Rosella smiled, letting Corinne know she was just teasing. Aramina let out a small giggle, Viveca smiled a little, and Renee smiled and shook her head at Rosella's imaturity.
"Funny, hilarious." Corinne said sarcastically, "Well, now let's talk about you two." Ro facepalmed.
"Oh, I should have known." She sighed.
"Hey, I can't let you have all the fun." Corinne laughed, and grinned evilly.
"And besides you two are cute together." Aramina said as if to lighten their moods, "I wonder if you'll get married."
"Ew." They said simultaneously all the while jumping away from each other.
"Aramina," Antonio said, "I can't marry her, she's my best friend."
"Oh, just you wait, you two will fall in love, and won't even know what hit you." Aramina grinned, clapping her hands.
"You know, I'm actually starting to feel bad for teasing Cori, this is kind of annoying." Ro said.
"Told ya." Corinne said with a smug expression that matched her tone. She crossed her arms.
"Yeah, you did." Rosella said, "and I am sorry. Overwhelmed by guilt."
"Someone from a mile away could tell you were lying." Cori said.
"Oh, now you're going to tease me because of my bad acting. That is low, that is mean, that is cruel. I am finally rubbing of on you." Ro smiled, saying the last sentence proudly.
"I know it's terrible isn't it. Look at me, I'm turning into you." Corinne said, stomping her foot.
"You make it sound like it's a bad thing." Rosella said.
"It is." Corinne said simply.
"Thank you for sparing my feelings." Rosella said, sarcasm dripping from her voice. Corinne smirked lightly. It wasn't that the two girls disliked each other, they were just two girls who have an equal amount of wits, and constantly like to argue playfully. Though they like to call it a debate. The two girls were like sisters. They argued, and all that, but they really did care about each other, and stuck up for each other when they needed to.
"Corinne and Rosella are at it again." A soft voice said. Everyone could tell the girl was smiling. They turned around to see Clara Drosselmayer come in with her Aunt Elizabeth and her boyfriend, Eric (her grandfather won't let them get married just yet).
"What is this? Some kind of reunion or something that I didn't know about?" Rosella asked, though her words didn't come out as mean or un-wanting. She was truly inquiring.
"Hello everyone." Odette said as she came in with her sister, and her husband, Daniel.
"Yep." Rosella said.
"Actually your mom told us to come." Clara said.
"What? And she didn't tell me, I would've put on my nice act." Rosella said.
"Why is this place so small?" An oh so familiar and annoying voice was heard.
"No!" Rosella said, and ran out of the room. Exactly when she disappeared, four new people came in. It was Annika, Aiden (Annika's husband), Brietta, and Brietta's picked-out fiance, Thomas. Yes, Thomas was the annoying one, that no one could listen to without hitting him with a frying pan. Thomas was handsome, but he was more selfish and annoying than most of the villains they had met. Even Wenlock. Again, Brietta wasn't able to pick out her own fiance, and the guy was a suck up to the King and Queen.
Antonio sighed, "I better go get her."
30 minutes later:
Brietta and Viveca had went to help Antonio.
"Hey everyone, where's Ro, Brietta, Viveca and Antonio?" Anneliese asked as she, Julian, Erika, and Dominick came in.
"Ro ran out when Prince Annoying Jerk here came in." Corinne explained. Yes, she did hate Thomas, he was on her list of most hated people. Right after Phillipe, and Anti-feminists.
"How long had they been up there?" Anneliese asked.
"Thirty minutes." Annika answered.
"And counting." Corinne finished her best friend's statement. Out of all the girls Annika bonded with Corinne and her group the most.
"You think we should go help them." Erika asked Anneliese with a look that said that she knew Antonio, Brietta, and Viveca wouldn't be able to get their friend down here themeselves.
"We probably should." Anneliese said. The four went to Rosella's room
One Hour Later
"Come on." Anneliese said. She, Erika, Brietta, and Viveca had to literally drag Ro into the room.
"No." Ro said. Trying her best to stay out of the room, but in the end the girls succeeded in getting her in the room, and putting her on the couch.
"Ah, there she is." Marissa said, "Rose, Genevieve is here."
"Yay. Now if I wasn't pinned to the couch I might actually be able to be happy about this reunion thing." Rosella said. Anneliese and Erika looked at each other and came to an agreement, they let Ro up.
"Thank-you." Ro said, "Hello Gen, nice to see you again."
"You too Rose." Genevieve said. Rosella and Genevieve were good friends, and the two got along better than they did with any of the other girls.
"Right now that we're all together, there is something I must talk to you about." Marissa said. As if on cue lightning struck outside, casting an eerie yellowish green light on the room as the window opened, and the wind blew out all the candles in the room. Marissa and Elizabeth exchanged nervous looks, and Marissa added, "Now." The girls looked at eachother, and then followed Marissa and Elizabeth out to the library. The two older women looked very troubled as they walked through the dimly lit corridor, and opened the doors to the Library. Marissa solemnly walked across the room, towards a particular cabinet that was different from the rest because it was black with nave designs on it unlike the rest of the light brown wooden furniture. Ro had always wondered what was in it, but decided to leave it be after she found it was locked. Though there was no lock. Marissa put her hand on the cabinet doors, for a moment it look like the wood under her hand glowed, and then the doors opened. Inside was a thick black book with red details that curled into an intricate circle in the middle. Marissa took the book out, and put it one the nearest table then she gestured for the girls to gather around the book. Marissa sighed sadly,
"I didn't plan on telling you all so soon, I wanted to tell you when you were older, but I suppose the fates do not agree with me." Marissa said, "girls, what you are about to read is the darkest, most terrifying secret about our family." She opened the book to a particular page, they skimmed the page, and their eyes widened with horror. Why them?
"Oh, we're doomed." Ro said, and right then the girls all agreed. They were doomed, so very doomed.
A/N: Hoped you liked, because I loved writing it. So much fun. I love writing for Rosella with an attitude. Tell me what you think. Until next time. REVIEW!
