"She shouldn't be here anymore"

"Why isn't Red Ridding Hood here to assume the consequences?" another student said. Of course, Cerise could hear every bit of it, the other kids weren't making any effort in hiding their disgust.

"Hey!" they heard a loud growl "she is my hero to molest, and I plan on fulfilling my side of the story, so run along before I decide to hunt you as well!" Ramona yelled and all the students ran away in panic.

Once alone, Ramona looked down to the frightened girl that was standing alone at her looker and did the one thing all sibling do "Come here" she hugged her sister protecting her. Cerise felt like breaking down in tears against her shoulder.

"I should be getting every bit of it as well" Ramona mumbled "I am as much of her daughter as you are, they shouldn't pick on you" she cooed

"The only thing that can make it worse is if they knew" Cerise whispered back.

"I know, lil sis" she cleaned her eyes "I promise I won't let any of them hurt you" she offered a tender smile.

Cerise tried her best to smile back, but she was just exhausted from all of it.

"How is dad?" she asked in low voice.

"He is worry-sick about mom, he has been trying to talk Headmaster Grimm out of it, but he insists to have her come over and tell her side of the story. The board will meet to see if they have enough evidence for that call"

"This all my fault" Cerise covered her face.

"How can any of this be your fault?" Ramona asked softly trying to meet her gaze.

"If I had listen to Dad and kept our family a secret an-and if I hadn't invited Darling over maybe then-"

"Hey, listen to me" she grabbed her forearms"none of this relays on your shoulders, ok?" she said firmly "this is in no way your fault, Cerise. You have done nothing but to keep the secret safe, that's why you wear the hood and I don't" she exhaled "They gave the biggest burden to my little sister and that's not right" she squeezed her shoulder "We will solve this, we always do"

"You should only be worrying about signing your page in a couple of weeks"

"Hey, if my destiny doesn't have my sister in it, I don't want it at all" she smiled "I mean it in a good way"

Cerise chuckled "Thanks Ramona"

She smiled heartedly "You are welcome"

Once she knew her sibling would be alright, Ramona went to her dorm. She couldn't help but to sight. Thing weren't looking good, but they needed to solve it. She needed some space and time to think, but once at her door, she found a rather unexpected surprise.

"Charming?" she called the princess that was waiting at her entrance "What are you doing here?" she barked.

"Ramona, listen to me"

"I really don't-"

"Please" Darling pleaded "you have to hear me out" she stood in front, blocking her way "You know I would never do this"

Ramona looked down but said nothing.

"No matter how cross of conflicted I was about my father not signing his page, I would never expose your family" Darling said heartedly looking right into her eyes.

"I…know, lil' princess" Ramona looked up, offering a small smile "I know you wouldn't"

Darling couldn't believe the relief her words gave her "Then please, you need to help me convince Cerise I have nothing to do with it"

"I- I can't"

"What? But you just said-"

"She is hurt, Darling" Ramona cut in "she is dwelling"

"And I want to make it all better, I really do, but what can I do?"

Ramona exhaled "Listen, as her sister, I shouldn't be talking to you… but as your friend, I will tell you this" she crossed her arms "when I picked her up at your house after the week, she was hurt at you when you got upset about the book"

"But…I didn't mean to push her away" Darling looked down "I…I was just conflicted about it, my brothers' future and my own were on the balance and I…" she exhaled feeling frustrated, but then it occurred to her that in the whole time, she never stopped to consider how her friend might have felt "I turned my back on her…didn't I?"

Ramona nodded calmly "Look, she can't afford to have that many friends because the more they know her, the more exposed we are. And under the same situation, she can't afford to lose the friends she already has"

"How do I… clear my name?"

"Find whomever did tell our secret and please, make sure that person doesn't say more about it. If headmaster Grimm or the pack and village find about our family, we would be in some serious trouble"

"I will do my best" she promised "Thank you for listening to me, Ramona"

"That's what my ears are for" she smiled refering to her own tale, then she nodded solemly "Good luck Charming"
