The attention began to worry Bell and Beast. Students avoided her. Jay and Evie were her only friends. She felt that they pitied her for being lonely. Being tutored for six months was the worse part. People said she had special treatment. "It's unfair Godmother! How can a student like her get help but a princess like me can't?" Jay stood by Godmother's door. Overhearing the conversation, "She is special. She walked through the barrier. No damaging it. No magic involved. She has the will to learn unlike you my child." Godmother stormed out of her office. Her books floated behind her. Jay felt worried for his friend. She was the school's new target. Bell and Beast decided to dig through the history books to look for her father. "Bell. Honey, I can't find anything." "We must have missed something my dear. Please continue to help me." Mal and Ben passed by her in the hallway, "Hey. What's wrong?" She shook her head staring at their joining hands. Her heart burned with sadness. "Red?" Jay poked her causing her to jump a little, "Wanna go see Carlos today?" She lowered her head. "Red. Come on. Carlos is a bit worried about you. You are his friend." The word hit her hard. She shook her head moving along the river flow of students. She wished to forget but was constantly reminded of Jane and Carlos. Godmother would brag about Jane during tutoring. She began to regret her decision on coming here. Her books were pushed to the floor, "My bad." A group of boys walked off laughing. 'Been through worse at the Isle.' She picked her books back up and walked to her class. Jay was on her back about Carlos the whole week. She knew she couldn't face him. She eventually stopped seeing Jay. "Carlos. What did you do? She won't even see me." Jay lied on his bed. Dude jumped on Carlos, "Nothing. She just stopped hanging out with me." His face was filled with worry and sadness. Jay rose up and began to think, "Careful you might break it." Carlos laughed as Jay threw a pillow at him. Mal and Evie walked with her, "So. Got anyone on your mind?" She shakes her head slowly. "Evie. Leave her be. She'll talk when she wants too." Mal smiled at her as she flashes her beautiful green eyes. "Now. 4 drops of dragon's blood and 1 of pixie dust." Evie watched as Mal and her worked in science. "What should we call you?" Mal looked at Evie and nodded, "Yeah. At the Isle you didn't have a name did you?" She shook her head dropping the dragon's blood. "Maybe...Scarlet?" She looks up with an eye brow raise. Jay walked over, "So Red ready to talk?" She shook her head. Evie jumped and squealed, "Yes. Red is now your name. You answered Jay when he called you that." She shrugged at Evie but ignored Jay. "Jay. She just needs some space. Give her a day or two." Mal guided him back to his table full of girls. Evie leaned in, "Carlos?" Red nodded. Evie kept quite for her sad friend, "Won't spill a word. Promise." She smiled watching the pixie dust and dragon's mix. She knew she had to face him sooner or later but she's afraid of what she might do. She took a deep breath. "After a week of looking we came up with nothing."
Bell sighed throwing a book in a pile of more books. Her and Beast spent day looking but came to an end. "There's gotta be something we missed. We looked at Villains on the Isle. Villagers. Side characters. Princess' and Princes. Nothi-" Bell stopped when she remember one story. One that nearly cause Prince to die to save his love. She ran to her piles of books. "Bell?" She shot up out of the books smiling, "She's a Demi God!" Beast looked at her with confusion. "I know it sounds crazy but think about. She walked through the barrier. Walked through it. Honey she's the daughter of a God." Beast smirked, "Then why was she on the Isle?" "Who in this world is a villain yet a God?" She ran her slender fingers through the book. She flipped pages and stopped, "See?" Beast looked at the image that Bell pointed out. His eyes widened, "We need to go."
Red placed the rose earrings in, "I need to make things right." She prepped herself. She turned the corner, "Carlo-" she stopped. Her heart dropped. She felt pain through her entire body. Carlos stood at his locker with Jane. Kissing. Passionately. Her heart raced. The wind caught her hair. Blue from the deep breath she took. She grabbed her hair and cried. 'Blue?' she ran to the bathroom. She knew something wasn't normal. Her body began to feel cold. She fell to her knees as she shivered. Her hair. Turning bluer eventually became black. She was freezing. Beast ran to her aid, "No. No. Get the nurse! Now!" Students surrounded her. Beast covered her in his coat, "Don't go out. Listen we found...we found out your father." She shook her head with tears, "No. D-don't' tell. I-I don't w-want to k-know." her shakes became more and more vigorous. Bell caught up to her, "Beast?" He picked up Red and ran to Godmother. Mal watched him pass by with her, "Red?" She began to worry. Evie who saw Carlos freaked, "What did you do?" "Nothing. I was with Jane." Evie realized. Red had her heart broken. At the Isle she was torn but now she was broken. She saw Carlos and Jane. Evie ran to her. Carlos stood by Jane with worry. "Sir? What happened?" Godmother panicked seeing Red fade. "I don't know. She was like this when I found her. She was on the floor. She was cold and shaking." Red began to cough. Smoke escaped her mouth, "Bre-breath." She choked. She fell over to her side as Bell and Evie ran in. Bell screamed and fainted. Evie felt something in her stomach turn. Fear. "We need Mal." Evie screamed. She sat by Red stroking her head. She looked up, "Mal! Now!" Godmother and Beast scrambled to their senses. "Mal report to Godmother's office. ASAP." Mal looked at her spell book. She refused at first but her gut told her this is what they need. Ben stopped her, "Mal. Don't. You don't know what might happen if you use this book." "Ben. Red is sick and she's in need of my help. Please." He refused for a moment. "Please Ben! She might die!" Tears fell across her face. Ben let her through, "I'm coming with though." "Ok." When Mal arrived Godmother's door was crowded. Students blocked her way in pushing and shoving the door. "Godmother!" Ben screamed. The door opened with Godmother, "Move aside! Mal. Now!" A path was cut through the crowd. Mal's face dropped as she saw Red lying in Evie's arms. "What happen?" "She um...broken heart. Mal." Mal stared at Red's once golden eyes that are now black. "Mal. Focus." Ben stood by Bell. He carried her to the couch. "Evie. I can't cast that spell." "Fine. Erase her memories of today." "No. Are you insane? That can have a toll on her later in life." "Mal. She is dying. This is the only way. Erase her memories or cast the spell?" Mal looked at Ben and everyone in the room. "Fine. But everyone needs to leave." Godmother sealed the door as Evie and Mal cased the spell. "Return of a broken Heart" a spell so powerful. Mal was told to never use it. "It can kill the victim. But erasing someone's memories can have her in a frozen state of memory loss which can also lead to a worse death." Mal casted the words onto Red. Evei watched as Red began to cry. "Forget. Forget. The once broken heart shall be restored." Mal screamed. Evie's heart raced as her hair turned again red like fire. Mal cased the last sentence, "Done. Go check on her." Evie ran over. Godmother and the others walked in, "She ok?" Evie smiled, "Yeah. She's fine." Red looked around, "What happened?" Mal hugged her tightly. "Thank goodness." Evie joined in.
"I saw Carlos and Jane kissing. I wanted to try and be friends again but I ended up seeing that. I'm sorry to cause such a trouble." Red explained. Mal and Evie sat on their beds, "You feel better?" She nods as Mal hands her a cup of tea. "Red. You know you need to move on. Carlos is with Jane. I'm sorry." "I know. I just freaked seeing them right there." Evie nodded, "Mal's right. We need to find you someone new." Mal and Red looked at her, "What?" "Move on. Find someone else." Red laughed, "No. I'm staying away from 'love'. It nearly killed me." "No a broken heart did. At least make friends." Evie smiled brightly, "Yeah I guess." She squealed. "...Red?" A boy in her math class sat by her. He had black hair. Blue eyes that had beaten the ocean's beautiful color. "Yes?" He smiled, "I'm Sam. Son of Arista." He had the merman look but one thing came to Red's mind, "Aren't you suppose to be a merman then?" He blushed, "Well. Half actually. Mom fell in love with a farmer." She smiled, "Sorry about that. But it's nice to meet you." She extended her hand. He jumped back, "Sorry I'm a germaphobe." He sprayed her hands with handsanitizer. " She shrugged. A friend is a began to talk once again. "She made him talk to her." She ignored the remarks. Sam was interested in Red. Not romantically but in a history way. Thing is after Bell and Beast found out who her father was. Student's decided to look it up too. They also found out and told everyone. "So Hades? Know anything about him?" Sam flipped out a book. "Nope. The only thing I have to remember him by is the fact he made me mute." She pointed to her throat as she read a book. "He took your voice? Then how are you abl-" "Godmother made me earring that help me." Sam shook his head and wrote it down.
Red was good at sports but no one would let her play. They picked her out for each game. A girl with auburn short hair approached her, "So. Daughter of Hades? I'm Maki. Daughter of Hercules." She was skinny but looked big by the way she stood. She was the pro girl sports person. She played every sport and won every game. "Shame dad put your father in his place." She pointed to the ground and laughed. A girl with black hair stood behind her and laughed, "Nice one Maki." Red ignored her comment and continued to read her book. "Listen here." She snatched the book, "Give it back Maki." Red stood up calmly, "Yeah. Yeah. Or what?" "You owe the library money?" Red shrugged. Mal stood on the field. Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch. "Oh Red. We're both demigods but one is better than the other." Maki goes to punch Red. But her fist was caught, "Sadly I don't care." She bent her wrist. Maki groaned as she took her book back. "You're suppose to be the Granddaughter of Zeus correct? Then how can you be a bully? He's top God. Good God. Hades is the brother that is evil yet you make yourself look bad. And make me look like...the good guy." Maki stood up straight, "I am good. I just want you to leave." "But I haven't done anything bad. You can't harm the innocent. That's the way of a Demigod and God." Red walked off reading her books as people left. Red hadn't been herself for the past few days. 'Need to be normal.' was the one thing she thought about the most. Sam followed her around for a while. Asking questions about her father. That didn't help the void in her life. The hole only got deeper with each question. "Do you know your mother?" "No. She died giving birth." Sam's face turned saddened. She had only told Carlos about her mother. 'No more Carlos!' She thought.
Red lied on her bed as the ceiling began to spin. She felt sick. So many people hating her. Then people who love her. She missed the Isle. She missed not talking. She sat up in her bed and took off the rose earrings. She knew they were meant to help her but did they help? She took a textbook and smashed them to pieces. She stopped talking. She ignore everyone. She had one mission. To clear the air with Carlos. She knew he was taken but she felt heartbroken that he didn't know why she avoided him. She asked Jay where he was. Jay looked away from Red, "He's a bit upset. Now's not a good time." She begged. But the same words repeated from his mouth. Jay headed to his room with Carlos who held Dude and stroked his fur. "Listen. Carlos. Red she wants to talk." "No Jay. I'll end up hurting her again." Jay overheard Evie explain to Mal about Red's situation. He told Carlos that she felt hurt when he left her alone on the Isle. Jay lied to save his feelings. "I left my best friend at the Isle all alone. I messed up. But keeping her away will help her forget me." Jay's stomach turned as Carlos repeated his lie. Jane was upset when Carlos wouldn't talk to her. They like each other so much but he kept to himself and it worried her. Red noticed in Spell class that Carlos and Jane were upset. Jay sat by her, "Hey Red." he was in the dumps with the others. Class began when she wrote Jay a letter. "Now let's begi- oh that's right. Miss Red. You are no longer in this class." She looked up at Godmother who smiled ear to ear. "You seem to um...have the highest grade in the school so...they decide to take you up to Advanced Classes. You will no longer be working with me." She felt a nervous bubble form in her stomach. Advanced? She'd forgotten how much she wanted this. Now that it hit her she didn't want. Jay patted her on the back, "Good job Red." He slightly smiled. Guilt washed over her nervous bubble. She looked around and pointed to her throat. "Oh you'd like to speak." She nodded. "Should have thought of that before breaking the earrings." Godmother went along to teach the class.
