Chapter 28: A Big Bad Secret

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, I know it's a little shorter than what I normally write, but I think you'll like it. I have the future worlds figured out and all, but two are not from Disney and one is a live action. If anyone guesses a world they get a prize. So send in your guesses and please review and enjoy.

It was a dark and stormy afternoon at Ever After High as news of an old student returning was going around campus.

"I heard she has actual wolf claws." Lizzie said walking down the halls with Faybelle.

"I heard she howls at the moon." Faybelle said.

By the lockers Apple, Raven, Maddie and Namine were talking about the new student.

"Poor Cerise." Raven said.

"It is there destiny to be enemies." Apple said.

"The same could be said for you both, but you two are friends." Namine said.

"It's different with them Namine." Raven said when Roxas and Cerise walk over.

"Hey uh what's so exciting?" Cerise asks when the front doors open.

"Me." They all looked to see Ramona Badwolf standing in front of them.

"It's Ramona Badwolf!" Maddie said as they backed away.

"Hey Cerise." Ramona smirks.

"I thought I smelled wet dog." Cerise said as the two sisters walk towards each other.

'Wait a minute…that's Cerise's sister, but why are they acting like this?' Roxas thought.

"Oh, please hood, you couldn't find your way out of a paper bag." Ramona said when the door behind them opens to reveal Mr. Badwolf.

"What's this lollygagging? Move along or I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow you to class!" Mr. Badwolf said turning into a wolf and breathing a gust of wind that knocked the
girls away.

Cerise growls in a huff as she turns around and walks to class Mr. Badwolf looks at Ramona. "Now you two girls need to"

"Talk to the paw dad." Ramona said holding up her hand to ignore him as she walks away.

Mr. Badwolf growls in frustration when Roxas walks over. "Uh sir?"

"What do you want?" Mr. Badwolf growls.

"Uh why are Cerise and Ramona acting this way?" Roxas asks.

Mr. Badwolf looks in all directions before bringing him inside his class.

"I'm only telling you this cause you kind of already know our family secret." Mr. Badwolf said.

"You mean that you're Cerise's dad as well?" Roxas asks.

"Yes, now listen if anyone found out about our family secret people would go berserk until the girls graduate this needs to be kept quiet. So, the girls have to act like
enemies." Mr. Badwolf explains.

"But if it's such a big problem why did this happen?" Roxas asks.

Mr. Badwolf chuckles. "If it wasn't for the fact that I heard your life story I would laugh harder. Kid sometimes when you see something you love and want more than anything
you're willing to risk it all."

"Worth the risk?" Roxas pauses to think. "You know Mr. Badwolf you're not as bad as everyone says you are."

"Watch it kid or else." Mr. Badwolf growls.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone." Roxas said leaving the room.

"Hey Roxas." Mr. Badwolf calls out causing him to turn around. "If you tell this to anyone else I'll deny it with every bone in my body, but thanks kid."

Roxas smiles closing the door.


Later that day after the rain had stopped Roxas had taken Cerise outside to practice. As Cerise kicks a dummy backwards, she walks back.

"Thanks, Roxas I really needed this." Cerise said.

"Sure thing…hey Cerise your dad explained a little bit to me about why you and Ramona are acting this way do you want to talk about any of it?" Roxas asks brings out
another practice dummy.

"It's complicated." Cerise said when Blondie walks over to her with a mic and MirrorPad.

"Ms. Hood are the rumors true that it was your fault that Ramona Badwolf was sent to the Dark Woods reform school?" Blondie asks.

"What? No comment." Cerise runs towards the dummy and kicks it so hard its head is sent flying off and as luck would have it Ramona was watching from the stands and
catches the head sinking her claws into it before walking over.

"I'll see you after school." Ramona said to Cerise walking away.

"You heard it hear first folks come see the Hood vs Badwolf battle after school." Blondie said before leaving the field.

"Ugh seriously why does all this have to happen now?!" Cerise groans before sitting down on a bench.

Roxas walks over to her and sits down next to her.

"Roxas what is going on? Everyone basically wants me and my sister to duke it out and fight at every chance we get." Cerise said.

"And this isn't what you want." Roxas said.

"No, I just ugh I wish my family didn't have this secret." Cerise said.

"Well have you ever thought of just telling everyone?" Roxas asks.

"What?! Are you crazy? I would get into so much trouble, my family would be harassed, and what if my friends won't accept me?" Cerise asks starting to freak out when
Roxas puts his hand on top of hers.

"Cerise please calm down, just look at me ok." Roxas said as she turns to face him. "Look I don't know your family story, or what might happen if others found out, but I'm
telling you even if the whole world is against you and your family I'll be there to help you and if our friends can't accept the real you it's on them, no matter what happens
you are you nobody else." He said bringing a smile to her face.

"You're the best." Cerise said pulling him into a hug.

"Anytime." Roxas smiles when that warm feeling inside of him appears again.


After their talk Cerise was walking through the hallways to see everyone was putting up flyers of the fight between Cerise and Ramona. Grabbing one Cerise crumbles it up.

"This is ridiculous I think we can settle our own problems." Cerise said.

"Agreed." Cerise looks to see Ramona standing across from her. "So, do you accept my challenge?"

"Uh fine let's settle this, right here and now." Cerise rips the flyer in half and the two sisters approach each other ready to battle when Mr. Badwolf opens the door behind
them.

"I say no fighting in the halls! Both of you in my classroom right now!" Mr. Badwolf said leading them inside.

"Dad! She started it!" Cerise and Ramona said at the same time.

"Dad, Cerise is taking this under the hood thing too far ooh mysterious secret, look at me I'm a hood!" Ramona said pulling Cerise's hood down to reveal her wolf ears.

"I'm not doing it for me, you are so mean!" Cerise said.

"Oh, go whine to your boyfriend Mr. Keyblade." Ramona said.

"You leave Roxas out of this…and he's not my boyfriend." Cerise said

"Girls, muzzle it you both know how it is." Mr. Badwolf said.

"Yeah, yeah if anyone knew the Big Bad Wolf was married to Little Red." Ramon started.

"They'd flip their crowns." Cerise finishes.

"That's right so, until Graduation our family must remain secret." Mr. Badwolf said hugging his girls.

"Hey Dad, maybe we might not have to." Cerise said getting their attention.

"What do you mean?" Ramona asks.

"Listen Roxas told me that we should embrace our family and be proud of what we are." Cerise said.

"Cerise I wish we could do that, but do you know what would happen?" Mr. Badwolf asks.

"Yes, they would see you had the guts to go against your destiny and made your own Happily Ever After." Cerise said.

Ramona raised her eyebrows with interest. "Well color me impressed Cerise that might be one of the bravest things I've ever heard you say ever. Is this Roxas guy rubbing off on you?"

Cerise blushes slightly. "Uh well maybe."

"Maybe I should hang around this guy." Ramona said.

"When we know that the time is right maybe, but right now what do you say we give your audience a real competition." Mr. Badwolf smiles.

Outside on the track Cerise and Ramona were preparing to race with everyone watching.

"You ready for this sis?" Ramona asks.

"Oh yeah." Cerise said eager to race.

Cerise looks to the stands to see Roxas sitting with all her friends and pictured herself sitting with them, but with her hood down and nobody worried about that in the
slightest.

"Someday that will happen." Cerise smiles when Mr. Badwolf blows the whistle starting the race and the two sisters take off.
