Hi Earthlings.

Our 2nd mid-quarter exams (MQTs) are around the corner. Our awesome teachers have decided to put all the tests with numbers in 'em together-ish. xD

And because of the MQTs and all that, I might not be able to update next week. Sorry 'bout the inconvenience, Earthlings.

Please leave a review. Suggestions—if you want. xD

Any kind of review—from the nicest to the nastiest review—will definitely do.

Chapter 12~


"So you really have no idea who did the post-its thingy?" Meghan asked Alice. It was already study period—screwed up study period—and they were all left unguarded by the teachers. The teachers were currently having a meeting. The officers, on the other hand, were already planning things out for the upcoming Batch Formal.

So right now, Alice and Meghan were hanging out in the library.

Meghan already knew about the rumors—ever since her first day in the school. She had been warned by some kind classmates from Class B. Unfortunately, Meghan was not the type of person who believed in rumors.

She'll have to see evidences first to support the rumor.

"Either Abby Santiago's friends did it or…"

"…or?"

"…or my non-biological sister did it." Alice finished tiredly.

There was silence for a while. While Alice was replaying how the whole revelation went a while ago inside her head, Meghan was thinking whether she'd directly ask Gilbert about the note or whatsoever.

Before any of them was able to speak, someone arrived.

"Oh. You're hanging out in the library, huh?" Leanie Avirre asked with a smile despite her haggard look at the moment. Leanie was carrying a brown notebook and a black pen with her.

"Hi Lea. Want to join us?" Alice asked tiredly. Leanie shook her head slowly "I would love to, Alice…but Max has been barking orders lately. She wants the Batch Formal to be so perfect. Heck."

"Oh. Knowing Maxine Melidru…" Alice decided to leave the sentence unfinished.

"Oh—Alice. Someone was looking for you before I arrived here." Leanie suddenly seemed serious despite the tiredness she was currently experiencing.

"Someone?" Alice asked.

"Uh…yeah. Someone from the…" she pointed her black pen upwards "…there."

Silence.

"Okay. So the 'someone' from up there told me to tell you that you are totally pissing her off." Leanie finally said.

"Is she one of the many Alpha Bitches in this school that I've pissed off? Yeah…I'm quite used—"

"She's not any ordinary Alpha Bitch, Alice…I'm afraid." Leanie said in almost a whisper.

"Huh?" Alice's brows furrowed.

"Uh…it was your sister who said that, Alice. And I think that she wanted to literally kill you with the scalpel she was carrying when I saw her. Creepy…" Leanie muttered the last word.

"So that's why you came here?" Alice asked dully.

"No. I came to the library to pick up the circulars regarding the Batch Formal." Leanie answered after an exhausted sigh.

"Thanks."

"Sure thing, Alice. Oh—gotta go now~ I might lose my head if I return to the SC room late. Later~" and with that, Leanie was gone.

"I could imagine your... non biological sister carrying a scalpel while looking for you." Meghan said. Alice glanced at her then smiled wearily "I was actually expecting her to carry an axe or something like that." Alice said sarcastically.

"Your stepfamily hates you?" Meghan asked.

"Well, 75% of them, perhaps? One of them doesn't even give a damn at all so I think he's neutral." Alice answered in a matter of fact tone. Meghan nodded slowly.

Silence—again.

"Uh…Alice?" Meghan broke the silence a few moments later.

"What?"

Meghan hesitated. She was worried that Alice would either leave the question unanswered or she'd lie. She had to convince herself that she had to know how Alice sees her brother. Besides, she even had no idea whether Alice still remembered her or she was just playing with the game they're in. Meghan took a deep breath…

"Is Alfred simply a friend for you?"


The sky was already salmon pink and they have failed to find the Russian lady named Anya Braginskaya.

Ellerie was pretty much frustrated about the fact that she failed to find Anya. Because of this, she wanted to believe what her sister said to her when she returned to the Otherworld to heal herself when she was terribly sick.

"The more time you spend in the mortal world, the weaker your magic becomes. If your magic's really running low, you're existence is at stake."

She already told Lukas to go home since his brother was waiting for him.

Now, she was alone. She was currently airborne, her arms crossed over her chest.

She has been 'Ellerie Vermilion' for seven years.

She must be holding some sort of record.

She clutched her head with her right hand and sighed frustratingly. Why was she doing this in the first place? There were times that she would ask herself that same question when her faith was beginning to waver. She could be considered weak for the denizens of the Otherworld—why did she even decided to become Alice Kirkland's—

Her chain of thoughts was suddenly cut as she felt a force approaching her. She looked around and shivered right after a gust of cold wind greeted her. Her hands flinched.

"I was expecting you to find me before twilight came, Erielle."

She tried to keep calm and stoic as the Russian lady named Anya Braginskaya appeared right in front of her, wearing a black headdress, a black dress with red flowers all over them, and mahogany brown boots.

"You look so…so human." Anya said with a smile—a smile that was filled with sinister and malice behind it.

"The same goes for you, Anya," Ellerie said icily "I was not expecting you to show up here. What on earth do you want?" she decided to went straight to the point.

Anya simply smiled at her.

Anya stretched out her right hand and a shovel—a really huge one—slowly materialized in front of Anya. As Anya grabbed the shovel, she hummed a short tune before answering Ellerie's question.

"I shall answer your question—since you are about to die anyway."

And with that, Anya swung the shovel and smiled her most sinister smile.


I have finally decided, Earthlings.

I will FINISH this fan fic—I realized how much I love it (even if it's so shitty and all that). I will not abandon this fan fic—I'll continue writing it.

If you've been stalking my freaking blog…you'll see some of my drawings there—I can only draw with freaking pen and paper (and I am bloody proud of it). I was just wondering how all of you see my…uh…frequently featured OCs (Ellerie Vermilion and Leanie Avirre). I have to admit that yeah—I am curious, alright. Can you blame me?

Well, I haven't posted my drawings of Ellerie and Leanie in my blog but…

…I will definitely post them after the MQTs.

I was thinking of inviting you guys to gimme your drawings of Ellerie and/or Leanie but it crossed my mind that some of you might be busy as well and all that. I am not taking down the invitation for the brave souls out there…but you are not required to submit a freaking drawing, okay? xD

That's all, Eartlings.
