Hello! first part of the Legacy is here, hope you enjoy it!


Professor Grim cleared his throat, speaking through the microphone "Ladies and Gentleman, locate your name tag in the seat you are corresponded, please. We will begin shortly"

The event needed some real nerves of steel. Many students were shaky and nervous. Just very few were completely convinced about what would come next.

Ramona walked to the back of the stage, she would be one of the last to sign, she had just enough time to think everything through. Many thought swirled through her head. Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamt about this day, she would follow her father's footsteps, she would be a beta in the pack back in the reserve, but still something didn't felt right, it didn't add up.

"Hey, Ramona" Darling greeted, her voice wasn't full of charm as usual, it was actually weak and soft, preoccupation was ringing in her tone "You look really nice" she complimented the wolf girl's outfit, a very Bad Wolf style indeed, a bold look.

"Thanks" Ramona said in her raspy voice, she was a bit off herself "Are you ready for what comes next?"

"Not in the least" she smiled "are you?"

"I-I don't know, I thought I was, I must be getting cold feet, but I know what is expected from me"

"And is that the same to what you want?"

Ramona flashed a defiant smile "Quite the question, little princess"

Darling smiled, she was now totally used to the nickname, she actually took a liking into it.

"I've seen you talked to my sister again, everything clear now?"

"Mostly" she said "we are in good terms, if that's what you are asking"

"Pretty much, yes" Ramona walked towards "You found who did spread the rumor?"

"Yes" she said firmly "but that is my secret to keep, sorry"

Ramona chuckled to Darling's surprise, she thought she would be mad or something, she was expecting a growl, not the playful smirk she gave her.

"If I didn't know better, I would say you have your own set of ears, you are very loyal"

"I guess for the people that we care about; we all are"

"Students, please take your seats" they heard Grimm's voice

Ramona sighted "I guess we better hit the stage now"

"Get this over with" Darling murmured.


"Come on Daring, we need to seat in the front" Dexter rushed his brother "mom and dad are already sitted"

"I am coming" he scratched the back of his head "my suit is really itchy" he pulled the collar breathing heavily.

Dexter eyed him "You look really pale, are you alright?"

"Yeah, it's nothing brother, I've just been feeling a little under the weather"

"You sure? Because I swear I think I just spotted your first gray hair"

"I am sure, just go ahead"

"Ok then" he heard Grimm scold the students through the microphone "I will save you a seat"

"Yeah, thanks, I will catch up in a minute" he discreetly walked to a place no one could see him. He leaned against a tree and shut his eyes tightly, he was sure he was breaking down with a fever. He loose the knot of his tie and exhaled tiresome. He laid a hand against his chest, inside his inner pocket was hidden his most valuable possession.

"Oh, hey Daring" Cerise mumbled, she was sitting on the rock bench completely alone. Her dad was in the front row, her mother, on the other hand, was at that time facing the entire school board. Her family was in that moment, completely divided.

"Cerise!" he exclaimed fixing his attire, he couldn't look anything less than perfect "I-I didn't see you there" he walked towards a bit nervous "What are you doing here by yourself?"

"I guess, avoiding large crowds" she offered a grin looking down

"Ow" Daring muttered, it was all his fault, he knew that much. He sat next to her "I-I've heard you been, um… having a hard time with-"

"The rumors about my mom?"

"Yes" he looked away ashamed of himself "about that"

Cerise sighted "Darling told you?"

"No, I've noticed… sorry" he said heartedly, genuinely.

"It's not your fault" Cerise excused.

Daring wanted to say the truth, that it was his fault, that it all laid on him, but once he saw her silver blue eyes he couldn't risk himself to be forbidden from seeing them again or worse, to be seen by them with hatred.

Cerise shrugged looking for a change of subject, she had been the trend topic of the whole school for way too long "Is Darling nervous about tonight?"

Daring took a deep breath "Yeah… for the first time I can see why" he admitted "for the first time, I actually understand why she is against it. Why she is a Rebel and not a Royal"

Cerise was impressed, Daring was the most Royal guy ever after, and now he was openly opposing it "What made you change your mind?"

"Well…you did" he said blushing unable to meet her gaze "Before, I thought Royals and Rebels were two different kinds but… after spending time with you, I saw things differently. I mean, I signed my page and still I was denied my story, but being forced to a path, even if it guarantees success and a happily ever after, it's not as fulfilling as actually choosing the person you want to be with" he gazed into her eyes, which shined with might, reflecting the moonlight.

Cerise was at a momentary loss of words, so she just drove her sight to the opposite side and fixed her hood.

"I am glad I could inspire you" she chuckled a bit embarrassed.

"Believe me, you did much more than just that" he said feeling his heart race in his chest. He drove his fingers through her hair pulling gently towards him "Cerise, I-"

"Welcome to this special occasion" they heard Grimm's voice through the speakers.

"The ceremony just started" Cerise said jumping out of her seat, he had been very close to touching her wolf ear "we really shouldn't miss it" she pulled her hood and waited for no answer, she just fled the scene.

Daring felt like a punch to his gut, his heart cracked. The wave of heat came back, he felt like fainting for a second. He had never experienced such pain, it was beyond him, and once more, this raging ire swirled through him.
