When Red entered her new classroom people stared at her. "You must be my newest student. Godmother said you were the brightest." Flora guided Red to her seat. She sat by a girl with long golden hair. 'I'm guess Rapunzel's daughter.' She had beautiful green eyes like her mother's. Red look around to see very few people. 'I'm surprised Jane wasn't in here.' She thought. "Now let's begin." Fauna took charge and taught the class.
Red wanted to make things up Carlos but he avoided her. She knew she messed up avoiding him first but still. "So are you gonna talk to Carlos?" Mal asked as she eat her lunch. Red nodded. She felt her stomach turn when she thought about it. She pointed to her throat. "You want to actually tell him?" she nodded. "Fine I'm mixing in a truth spell so you don't lie." Red looked at Mal in shock. Mal was trying to help. She knew if Red had any thought of backing out she would. Evie took a bite of her cupcake, "Dizzy is great stylist and cook. Omg." Jay joined the group with a plate full of food. "So anyone heard from Jane or Carlos?" Red shook her head. "Well they apparently broke up yesterday. Jane was heartbroken." "Wait Carlos broke it off? Why?" Mal dropped her fork, "Apparently he didn't want to hurt her like he did Red when he left the Isle." Evie looked at Jay, "Why would he think that would happen?" Jay took a deep breath and let it out, "I told him the reason Red avoided him was because he ditched her for the school. Red got upset and lonely and decided to never talk to him again. I also told him about what happened when she past out." "JAY!" Evei threw her cupcake, "Ok. You can't blame a man for being honest. Red should have told him to begin with." "Yeah like when Carlos liked Jane but was scared of the results if he told her." "Point taken" Red felt her heart sink deeper into her stomach. She saw him in the hall but she couldn't get the courage to talk. She ran into him on purpose so she could try but he ignored her. She even tried falling down the steps to get his attention. Nothing. Red began to pick up her books. "Are you alright?" A thick British accent startled her. She looked up. A handsome boy with brown hair and a stubble. Her heart jumped when he reached for her hand, "Names Charles. Never seen you before." Red felt her face grow hot. She pointed to her throat, "Can't speak? Like Mrs. Ariel?" She nodded. He picked up her bag and smiled, "For someone so cute you can be clumsy. Be careful next time." He shook her hand and left. Red stood there in awe. She felt her body wobble. Her legs began to shake. 'What was that?' "OMG! Red! You like someone. So you have moved on." She nodded as Evie jumped on Doug. "Sweetie. I'm hold valuable items." Evei let go instantly. "Besides. Charles? He's in a relationship. With Sam's Twin sister. Isn't he?" Evie realized. Red sat on the bed, 'No wonder I knew his name' Sam wasn't a big fan of Charles. No one knew who he was. His parents are unknown. His emerald green eyes popped in her head. "What about Carlos?" Red stood up and took a deep breath. Her hair (once again) turned blue with each breath. She headed out the door, "Red?" She stomped to Godmother's office. "Darling tutoring is over." Red pointed to her throat then ears. "I'll give you another pair. Only if you promise not to break them." She nodded as Godmother made a bracelet. "I rather you have one thing that a pair of earring you can break easily." Red put them and stomped to Jay and Carlos' room. "She's actually doing it? Now?" Doug chased after Evie. Red knocked on the door. Jay answered smiling, "Well hey th-" She pushed open the door, "CARLOS!" As she walked in Carlos was about the exit through the window. "Sit down and listen to me now!" Carlos threw his hands up and sat in his bed. Red crossed her arms, "Why do you think I avoided you?" "Because I-" Red yelled a wrong sound, "I avoided you to make sure I didn't mess up. I saw you and Jane. I got jealous and from the Isle. Came here saw you guys again and got upset." ""Why?" "Because I use to like you. You were the only person on the Isle who was my friend." Carlos sighed heavily. "Yes I know. 'I'm with Jane, Red' I know. I want you two to make up. Please. She makes you happy, right?" He nodded. "Then go get her back. If she needs to know why you left tell her the truth. Lying doesn't help. Jay." Carlos and Red looked at Jay with disappointing looks. Jay shrugged standing at the door. "Red. Thank you for that. I needed that. You truly are my best friend." Red laughed, "Yeah I know. Best friends since the beginning." She hugged Carlos. "Now go get your girl!" Red pushed Carlos out the door. He took off like a bullet. "That was a good thing to do Red." Jay ruffled her hair. "Mal didn't even cast the spell on you yet. Good job." Red sighed heavily. A huge weight was lifted off her chest. She could breath. Her best friend and everything was back to normal. Evie and Doug walked her back to her room. Evie played with her hair, "Color changing hair should be the next trend! Omg!" Red rolled her eyes. Doug laughed as Evie planned everything.
Sam read his book like always. His obsession with Hades was over which was a relief for her. But everywhere she looked; there was Charles with Raven. She was beautiful, Actually the opposite of Sam. She had shoulder length blonde hair with brown eyes. She was happy and preppy. "Sam. Come on. Raven is dating Charles. He doesn't sound that bad." "Red just stay out of it." Red poked Sam. She noticed how he didn't freak out. Last time he was a super germaphobe. Charles sat by Red. "Nice running into you again." "Y-yeah. Uh...thanks." Red smiled then turned around facing the wall. Charles was beyond handsome. She couldn't stand being near him. "Sam. Nice seeing you." Charles voice turned cold. Sam flipped his page, "Like wise pretty boy." She could feel the air grow heavy with the silence. Math was about to begin when the girl from the other day walked in. "I'm so sorry. My alarm was cut off." She ran over to her seat." She looked different. Her hair was a braided mess with glasses. She wore pants not a dress. "Make sure it doesn't happen again Miss Olivia Fitzherbert." 'So I was right.' She looked around. For some reason she could see a dark figure near the girl. "Miss Red!" She snapped back. "I'm sorry Sir. Please repeat." Everyone giggled. "Please explain the answer." "Yes of course." She read her answer but felt her stomach hurt. Nervous? "Good job. That is correct." Sam noticed Red. "Here." She looked over to see Sam's hand headed her way, "What?" "Just grab it." She did as he said. She felt a warmth, like a mother. Her pain began to disappear, "What magic is this Sam?" He shook his head, "It's not magic." Red lied her head on her desk. She gripped Sam's hand tightly, "Thank you." "You're welcome." Charles could see it happening out the corner of his eye. Red ended up falling asleep. She felt safe around Sam for some reason. She didn't know why. Maybe because he was her first friend.
"Red wake up." Red opened her right eye. She expected Mal, Evie or Sam. But not what she saw. Charles stood at the foot of her bed. She shot up, "Charles?" "Yes. Yes. The one and only." "What? Wh-" her head began to spin. She fell over, "Now. Listen I don't have long before lover boy comes back Sweetheart. I'm not Chares. Nor am I even human." Red struggled to get up, "You...You p-poisoned me?" "Yeah. You see when you touch the skin of an Underworld's Minion you can get sick or die." He smiled as he laughed. Red became short of breath, "Hades has seen you. And he is upset with his beloved daughter. Well all of you actually." Charles walked around.'There are others?' she thought. "Just spill i-it." Her stomach felt a horrible pain of stabbing, "Fine. Jeez. Hades wants you. But bring him the Wand and the other enchanted items in the Museum. If not lover boy and everyone else here will get hurt." Charles snapped his fingers. To the left of Red; fire started in her trash bin. He snapped once more. It went out. "Why me?" "Cause you're his baby girl and blah blah." As Charles goes to walk off a red tail poked out of his pants. Pain. Which mean Panic is somewhere around the school. "I can't in this condition you idiot. Man Hades must stoop so low to get you and Panic to do his work." Pain smirked, "No. But me and Panic have upgraded since the time with Hercules." Pain clapped his and was gone along with her stomach pain. Before she realized it. So was the bracelet Godmother gave her. She began to think about Panic. 'He's gonna take the form of someone who isn- Oliva. She was dressed properly and was on time to class when I first went to advanced.' Red began to think. People have been fighting lately and Carlos panicked about his relationship with Jane and broke it off. She had to play it cool. She began to think about Sam. He wiped his hand every time someone touched him. But not her. He asked questions about Hades a lot. Sam must have had a feeling about it. Moment past before Sam walked in on Red pacing around her room. "Red?" She looks at Sam and lowers her head. Sam ran over hugging her, "You ok?" She nods. Lying is what almost lose one friend. She smiled when she pushed him away. "Why are you lying?" Red opened her eyes in shock. "I know. I've only known you for a couple of days but I do notice small features. When you lie your hair turns slightly crimson." Red blushed grabbing her hair. "So wanna explain?" She points to his notebook. Covered in drawings and symbols. "I figured you'd wonder. I'm been researching Gods." She nods and points to his book once more. "You want to look through it?" She grabs it flipping page after page. She stopped on Hades minions Pain and Panic. She points to Pain, "Oh. You found out about Charles?" She looked at Sam in disappointment. "Don't look at me that way. You started to have a crush on him." Red shivered at the memory. She explained what happened, "So Pain came in and took your bracelet. He also told you to steal the Enchanted Items in the Museum?" she nods as Sam covers every detail. "And you now have siblings?" Red nods once more. "Do you know them?" she shakes. Sam tries to figure it out but ends up short. "We got to tell Godmother and the King, Red." Sam grabbed her hand. Red was shaking in fear of losing her new friends. She felt tears, "If we tell maybe we can stop this." She nods in agreement to tell. On the way to the main office Red noticed people acting weird. "RED! What happened? What's going on?" Evie ran her. 'Panic!' He must have touched everyone. They're freaking out. Making it hard to find help. "Evie find Doug." Sam told Evie as if he knew something. "I read in a book that a loved one or someone close can 'heal' I guess. When you were pain at math I held your hand. The 'love' or something makes it go away. Like a mother's kiss on a cut." Sam grabbed ahold of her hand. "Don't let go. Understand." Red nods as her face turns scarlet. Sam guide her through the crowd of panic. Thankfully no one is getting hurt. "CARLOS!" Jane screamed through the crowd. Carlos ran away, "Jane wait. Why are you-" "You broke my heart Carlos. You dumped me. And worse didn't tell me why." Red pulled Sam's arm to Carlos. "Red no. We can't." She held onto it tightly trying to pull him. "Jane please." Carlos cried. Jane had tears running, "You caused me so much pain." Red stopped. 'Pain?' Red pushed through the crowd and reached Carlos. "We can't help them." Red holds Sam's hand. She looks at his hand then at Carlos. She lips, "Please?" Jane raises a metal pipe at Carlos. Red panics. Her heart races. She felt the heat around her burn. "RED!" She lets go running to Carlos. The metal swings downward, "JANE!"
