Jay strutted through the halls, grabbing most if not all the girls' attention. His tight red and yellow sleeveless shirt showed off his biceps in a mouthwatering way and his bad boy look had even the most goody goody girls staring. Unfortunately he didn't get the same smug satisfaction as normal. He couldn't even bring himself to wink and flirt like he normally would. He was upset.
The last few days seemed to be about Carlos, always Carlos. The boy was never around. He was always either out with his secret girlfriend or in some class. At first it was fine, or he thought he did a well job of pretending it was but it wasn't. He lothed to admit it but he missed the black and white haired boy, even if they did argue almost constantly.
It had been friendly bickering, not the full blown hate drive words that they were currently sharing. And he couldn't help but want to know who Carlos was with. The boy never kept a secret. Someone always knew. Even on the island the boy was too week to keep his secrets to himself. He always told someone, whether that be him, mal or Evie. Evie knew who Carlos was with. He knew that, but he also knew she only found out through her mirror. What was so embarrassing that Carlos was hiding his relationship?
He'd scoped out the castle while searching for him and his girlfriend and he noticed Jane, Audrey and the few other girls that were embarrassing enough to hide on multiple occasions so they weren't the girl. He should just lock Carlos in a room, tie him up and starve him tell… No, that wouldn't work. This wasn't the isle. They would come looking if Carlos went missing. Maybe he could blackmail Carlos. Unfortunately he didn't have anything bad enough for him not to go to Mal and Evie. He couldn't beat it out of him. He couldn't hire anyone to get it out of him. He could try but no one in the school had the balls to really get their hands dirty.
That left only one option. He had to be nice. A shiver went down Jay's spine. That might be worse than not knowing. Wait! No, Evie wouldn't tell Doug so he couldn't use magic to turn himself into or control Doug. There had to be another option. Jay stopped walking, tilting his head at the wall in front of him. He passed his class at least ten doors back. Glancing at his watch he confirmed that he was late.
"What's the point" he snorted, turning right instead of going back. Math wasn't that important. It wasn't like he was going to pass the test anyway. As he opened the door to the door room he heard a scared nervious voice. He pulled the door bacl slowly so it was only open enough for him to hear.
"But you two were..." A younger boy's voice started hesitantly.
"But now we're not. We broke up. We're done." Carlos said darkly. Jay could hear Carlos squeaking the chair to sit down or get up.
"But you said you loved h…." Tyler began again.
"Well now he hates me!" Carlos hissed in a whisper. Jay squeezed the door open more, trying to hear what they were saying. All he could tell was Carlos was as sad as when sparky died. That dog should have been killed years before. Carlos grew too attached. Now just like then the boy was showing too much emotion. You shouldn't show weakness unless it benefited you, which it never did on the island. Here however things were different. Carlos was either playing this kid or had slipped too far into Auridon's ways.
"Everything he told you is still true" Carlos said. "I know you felt better after talking with him."
"Yea" Tyler sighed.
"What exactly did he talk to you about?" Carlos asked, wanting to adjust the conversation.
"Hiding, how our home lives were. He talked about you a lot." Tyler whispered. Jay scowled. Who were they talking about now? How many secrets did Carlos have? So far the list contained his secret girlfriend and this kid who supposedly had a talk with someone Carlos knew.
"I…" Carlos started before falling silent. "Didn't I close the door?"
"Yea" Tyler nodded, eyes widening. Jay took one last look at the crack before dashing. HE disappeared around the corner seconds before Carlos jumped out.
"Fuck" Carlos loudly.
"How much did they hear?" Tyler whispered once the door was closed again.
"Hopefully not much" Carlos sighed. "You should go. Tell Chad what you told me. I'll talk to Evie. Maybe she can convince Mal to use a spell to see who was eavesdropping.
Evie glared at the boy leaning against the bookcase. Even though he was looking away he could feel the eyes boring into his back. "Charming" she hissed too close to Chad's back for his liking.
"Evie" He nodded curtly. "Those are the book."
"I assumed" She said sarcastically, giving the three carts of books a glare equal in intensity to the one aimed at Chad. If she was Mal she wouldn't have to worry about those books any more. A glare like that would have them bursting into flames. Oh how she wished she could do the same to spoiled t little brat Chad.
"Let's just get this over with" Chad responded, ignoring her sarcasm. He didn't have time to deal with her. "Lets sort them first so we aren't going back and forth to the same sec…"
"So the prince can think. I didn't realize someone as stupid as you could come to such a simple conclusion. What do you think I was planning on doing charming?" Evie snarled. Chad prickled but kept his mouth shut.
The sorting was slow going. Evie had no idea how the Auridon system work so Chad had to correct her work several times. This only made Evie angrier though she also kept her mouth shut. She was watching out of the corner of her eyes, waiting till she was sure no one was close enough to hear her.
"Do you get off on hurting people" She growled under her breath. Chad's hands froze. "Did you enjoy making Carlos bleed? Seems like it since you went straight to Ben and beat him up."
"No" Chad said curtly, going back to sorting. Evie smirked smugly, seeing Chad's hands shaking slightly.
"Then you must have planned it. You made Carlos like you and then crush him. It was a nice little plan but we're from the isle. We're not papered princes who cry when their favorite stuffed animal falls on the ground. We fight back and I have no doubt Carlos is going to take revenge."
"Carlos…" Chad started
"And he really embraced being good. He must hate you a lot to go back to being evil. That is what you wanted right, Carlos going back to being evil? Now daddy dearest will just wait for him to slip up and send us right back to the island."
"I…" Chad began.
"He'll die" Evie said darkly. Chad's body began to shake. "We all will. We won't make it ten feet. It'll be a blood bath. They'll torture us till we beg to die and I promise that will take a long long time. Carlos will die a slow painful death all because you wanted him sent back to the island."
"He… won't be sent back" Chad said, but he didn't sound confident.
"He will. Ben gave you and your father the opening and you made sure to push one of us over the edge. You picked the week link and made him love you. You must have been laughing the entire time. You got a pet boyfriend to fuck for a few days and you got to dispose of us in the most painful way." Evie said. There was no emotion in her voice but the words cut the prince like a knife.
"I didn't mean t-to hurt him" Chad stuttered, eyes wide and face pale. Evie was on the verge of grinning but kept her calm collected expression with just enough hate in her eyes.
"I hope you spoke at your little party." Evie continued. "I hope you die at your little celebration of our deaths. I knew you were no different from your father. I warned Carlos but you were good. You told him lies, made him think you understood him. You…"
"I LOVE HIM" Chase almost screamed. Evie turned her head in all directions. Thankfully they were still alone.
"You used him!" Evie snarled "And now he hates you. He hates you as much as every little prick who tried to kill us on the island. And if you weren't a prince Carlos will kill you just like he did them. He'd gut you and make you watch as he ripped your body Apart. Mal would spell you so you'd last longer. You'd get see yourself being taken apart bit by bit and know you were going to die. But unfortunately Carlos can't do that here. You keep our life but he will have revenge."
"I… I…" Chad choked out. Evie watched as he turned and ran from the library and laughed. The look on Chad's face. She hurt him more than any punch or cut would because this would hurt forever. Even if they didn't get sent back he would forever live with the knowledge that Carlos thought Chad was trying to kill him. If she kept this up and used just the right words she might even drive him to killing himself. It would be well worth it and hopefully be after Carlos had gotten over his crush.
She swiped her hand across the table, pushing all the books to the floor. With no one looking she laughed again and followed Chad's path out the door. Screw this. She'd just blame Chad. She didn't know where to put the books back and was left alone and confused when Chad left her to go be with friends. An evil grin that hadn't been seen since the island crossed Evie's face.
Mal breathed out a sigh of relief and curled up in her bed. The pain was gone, though she could still feel a lot in this room. It smelled of roses and a faint prickling across her arms that she could tell was left over from something that had been in the room recently. She focused on it and tried to block out everything else. Fairy godmother suggested she work on blocking out everything but one feeling.
She analyzed it and somehow knew it shouldn't have affected her unless it was currently in the room. Than meant it was probably wither a person or a thought. The rose smell reminded her of Evie so she assumed that if something existed in a room long enough it's magical scent stayed for at least a little while.
She flinched back when the feeling increased tenfold. The prickling covered every inch of her arms instead of the light, slow traveling feeling. At the same time the door swung open to reveal a happy Evie. Mal recognized that smile. She had just done something very bad and felt very happy about it.
"Mal!" She exclaimed. "You're better." Evie rushed to Mal's ben and crushed her in a hug. Mal was right. The rose smell was coming from her roommate.
"Please don't crush me" Mal hissed playfully. Evie let go with a laugh. Sorry I'm just happy to see you. What's wrong?" she added, noticing the girl itching her arms.
"You're either wearing something or thinking something that causing a very annoying feeling." Mal replied.
"You're magical understanding?" Evie asked.
"A lot stronger than anyone thought. Supposedly, mine's even stronger than my mom's!" Evie raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I'm not wearing anything different." Evie shrugged.
"Than what are you thinking about?" Mal asked, curious what would cause such an uncomfortable feeling. Evie looked over to the door that was still hanging open.
"Nothing important" she told her friend, walking back to close the door.
"You had that grin again" Mal stated. "You can tell me."
"It's nothing" Evie promised.
"Evie you're lying."
"It's really not important… It's personal." Evie sighed. She kept her eyes from looking into Mal's, wandering her glance around the room.
"We don't keep secrets from each other" Mal started. Evie shook her head.
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?" Mal said angrily.
"it's not my secret to tell…." She started before hearing a sound at her window.
Cliff hanger... admittedly I have no idea what's making the sound. Somehow I wrote it like this so lets roll with it. If anyone has any suggestions about the sound here's the time to get some input into the story. So lets call it an opportunity i'm giving my readers. Yea that sounds better than hey I don't know what i'm writing. :p please review and PM me any suggestions. If you're a guest you can send me a message on my facebook page.
