Cinder laid in her bed and stared at one of the many walls that were filled to the brim with her drawings. She thought of her times as a traveling artist and selling art on the street to make a name for herself. She thought of the phone call that changed her life and dragged her back into the baking world.
Growing up she had always been horrible at the one thing that had been her parent's passion, but since she couldn't bake the cakes she learned to decorate them. Cinder smiled as the memory that trickled into her mind as she looked at one of the first drawings she had made of Kali. The drawing was tea stained and partly covered by other drawings around it but it still made her smile.
Cinder's breath made tiny grey puffs in the cold afternoon air as hot tears streamed down her face. She dared not move too much in the rickety tree house. They had recently moved to a new home of which prompted more practice baking for her and Blake.
Cinder wiped her face with the worn green sleeve of her jacket. She had just burned what felt like her millionth cake and Blake had taken to calling her Ashes. These were the times of which she missed her boarding school. She missed her classes, she missed her dorm room and most of all she missed her new friend Winter.
She heard the groan of old wood as someone climbed into her new fortress. The slim figure of her step mother made appearance as she struggled to get through the small entrance in the floor of the tree house. When she finally got into the house she carefully made her way next to Cinder with a soft blue blanket in hand.
"Hey there baby girl. I thought you'd be cold up here all on your own so I thought I'd join you." said Kali as Cinder stayed quiet and stared at the ragged wooden floor. She allowed Kali to place the blanket around her and snuggled up next to her in the blanket. A few moments passed before Cinder rested her head on her step-mother's shoulder, silently appreciating the warmth. "So what's got my sweet little Ash all alone in a barely stable tree house?"
Cinder rolled her eyes and said, "I hate that name…"
"I think it's cute. It's a pretty good one, I mean it could be worse…" She said with a chuckle. "Now how about you tell me what the real problem is because I don't believe for a second one silly nickname could bring my strong girl down."
Cinder stayed silent for a long time before she whispered "I burn everything…."
"You mean the bread?" mused Kali as she gave Cinder a small smile. Cinder nodded and wiped her face once more. "Cinder, honey, look at me." Cinder reluctantly looked up and at Kail's kind face. "You never have to do anything that doesn't make you happy. We were only teaching you to bake because you both seemed really interested in it."
"But I wanna bake! But I can't even make simple scones…" she finished in a softer tone.
Kali hummed and brushed the hair out of Cinder's face, "Honey do you wanna know a little fun fact about the baking world?"
"What?"
"Well," adjusted her arm around Cinder and tightened the blanket around them. "Did you know that the cake decorators are just as important as the people who make the cake? And they rarely are the ones to bake the cake. Now I've seen some of your drawings and they are amazing. Maybe you should try your hand at decorating the cakes instead of making them." Cinder gave her a small shrug and stared at the developing mold along the side of the tree house. Kali sighed and gently nudged Cinder, "Come on now let go into the house before you catch a cold or this very unstable tree house come down with us inside. I honestly don't know how your father never got around to tearing this thing down and building you a new one."
Cinder carefully made her way out of the tree house followed by Kali. As soon as they were safely inside of the house Kali began to take out an array of items in the kitchen. "Okay, so if we are gonna teach you how to decorate then let's get started."
Cinder stood in front of a block of styrofoam and turned to Kali with a small smile. Soon Kali began to demonstrate the basics of cake decorating.
They spent the whole afternoon and many afternoons after that decorating cakes for her father's new bakery.
Cinder sighed at the memory and turned her attention to the warm body next to her that had begun to stir. "Morning." she whispered as Winter yawned and mumbled a reply.
Cinder made her way out of bed and began to get dressed. Today is going to be a tiresome day. She thought as she tossed a pillow at Winter to wake her up. You'd think with all that military training she would be easier to wake up...but then again she has been a high ranking officer for quite some time...They had to attend Blake's after-party after their final show in Vale wrapped up. It was an after-party and also a going away party for Blake since she had decided to stay in Vale for a tad longer.
Once Cinder had finished changing she looked over to Winter and noticed that she had barely even moved since she had tossed a pillow at her. Cinder rolled her eyes and grabbed the blanket Winter had cocooned herself in and yanked it off in one smooth motion, revealing the naked form underneath. Winter slowly opened her eyes and turned to glare at Cinder.
"Could you please give me back the blanket? I know you have to be up at four but that doesn't mean I have to be." grumbled Winter as she made herself comfortable and waited for the blanket to be placed on her.
"Sorry Winter but I really would like your company for today, seeing as my current crush is lusting after my sister."
Winter stayed in bed for a few more moments before lazily sitting up and glaring at Cinder. A glare of which would normally strike fear into the hearts and souls of any of whom were unlucky enough to see it, but Cinder stared back unaffected with a smile stretching across her face.
"So you're going to come?" said Cinder as she crossed her arms.
Winter's glare quickly fell and was followed by a dejected sigh, "The things I do for you…" she mumbled as she got out of bed and when to go get dressed for the day.
They soon got their things together and headed out to the bakery, giving Blake a chance to sleep in a bit before going to rehearsal for the big show. When they got to the car they arrived to the bakery in no time and had to jimmy the half frozen lock open. Cinder dejectedly opened the door, listening to the ever annoying sound of the bell atop the door chime happily. She was hit with the smell of Emerald's baking and sighed.
"Morning Em!" Yelled Cinder and Winter as they walked across the room and around the counter. "Mornin'" is all they heard back before the large whur of the mixing machine started.
Cinder smiled watched as Winter put on some coffee for the morning rush. "You do know you don't have to help with the morning prep, especially with that leg that has got to be killing you. We did to some kinky stuff last night." Cinder said to Winter as she helped her get things in order.
Winter shrugged, "You weren't going to let me sleep in so I might as well make myself useful until I have to go home and change for my meeting with my father. He's thinking about investing in a new line of weapons for military use."
"Gonna make some star wars blasters?" said Cinder with a smile.
"Just so that they can consistently miss? No thank you." scoffed Winter.
Cinder opened her mouth to defend the holders of said guns when heard the chime of the door opening. They both turned to look at the small brunette that had entered the shop. "Morning everyone!" said Ruby as as she removed her jacket and beanie.
Cinder gave her a bright smile that hadn't gone unnoticed by Winter. The white haired beauty clenched her fists and gave the small girl a greeting before going into the back to help Emerald.
It's getting harder and harder to ignore this idiotic crush I have for Cinder… She thought began to help Emerald form the shapes of the bread she wanted to bake with only a questioning brow raised in her direction. When Emerald was about to ask what was wrong she heard the unanimous laughter of Cinder and Ruby in the other room and gave Winter a sympathetic grimace.
"So Winter how's the family? I heard that brother of yours is getting released from the asylum."
Winter's back straightened and there was a new found edge in her voice when she spoke. "Whitley was getting released from the mental health institution next week but after a visit from father he spiraled and they had to readmit him… Father thought it was finally a good time to tell him about… the accident...but that just made him worse."
"What!? He didn't know!? It's been four years! Didn't he question why she never visited him?"
Winter sighed, "Whitley had recently been admitted when We- ….when my sister passed so any added trauma would have caused him to go over the edge and I would have lost not one but two siblings. At least that's what father said... Father just kept saying she was away on business every time her ever asked about her and Whitley just assumed she was ashamed of him as a brother for being in the mental health institution in the first place."
"Look this Schnee deal isn't my cup of tea but keeping that kid locked up isn't good for him. When's the last time you went to see him?"
"Could we please change the topic to something less emotionally disturbing? Please?"
Emerald shook her head and continued to shape the loaves of bread she had in hand. They worked in silence for a long time, occasionally hearing a giggle from Ruby or a snicker from Cinder, causing Winter to abuse the bread every time. Eventually Emerald had had enough and found a reason to kick Winter out of her kitchen. She found her best friend and the girl of whom had taken so much from her dancing around each other as they attenteded the morning rush. Winter hadn't even noticed the door opening and closing the whole time she had been in the kitchen with Emerald.
"Cinder I was called in to a meeting, I'll see you later." She yelled over the crowd when she saw Cinder give her a questioning look. When she saw Cinder nod she turned and headed out the door dodging a girl with lightning green hair skating past the store.
"Hey I'm walking here!" She yelled at the girl causing the girl to look back at her and smile. The girl doubled back and stopped right infront of Winter.
"If I had known I'd run into a goddess at this ungodly hour I would have had the bus ditch me a long time ago. I'm Reese by the way, and whom might you be Winterschönheit?"
Winter scoffed and said "Like I'd tell you." she began to limp away and was instantly caught up to by the green haired girl.
"Schönheit, wait! You must let me take you to dinner and I will teach you all the phrases you want." she raised a single eyebrow and in a low voice she said "Ich steh' auf dich. I'll teach you the meaning of that one a bit later." A faint blush appeared on Winter's cheeks as she continued to ignore Reese. "Dirne!" At this Winter stopped and fumed, "Ah, curious as to what that means are you? Well since you took the time to pause your stride and talk. I'll tell you what it means, it means that you are so beautiful it is impossible to describe."
"Ich spreche fließend Deutsch Sie Arsch" huffed Winter as the color drained from Reese's face.
"Oh… you speak german... " Reese stood there frozen as Winter continued on her way to her car.
"Wait wait wait, look we got off on the wrong foot. I wanna say sorry for hassling you. It's just that you were really pretty and I resorted to the easiest way to get a girl's number."
"Goodness you bounce back quick." said Winter as she reached her car.
"Well you kinda have to when a girl as cute as you is walking away from me. Look I know you find me annoying but why don't you come to this party some friends of mine are hosting tonight? It's gonna be epic and I would really love for you to show." Reese wrote her number followed but the address of the party and quickly handed it to Winter before saying "I really need to be off or I'm gonna be late but I hope to see you there schönheit." and skated away.
Winter looked at the card and almost groaned. Its at the same place as Blake's party… which means these friends of hers are those theater kids. Gods this is gonna be a long night.
Winter entered her car and sat for a moment to collect her thoughts, before turning on her car and begrudgingly going to her father's office to see if there was anything there to take her mind off things.
Later on as Ruby and Cinder left the bakery in Emerald's capable hands. They were quickly picked up by Winter and headed directly to the after-party. Not bothering to see the show again. Once they arrived they were quickly separated and Ruby wondered off to the kitchen. There was already a bit of a crowd even though the main stars had yet to show. They had begun to play the shot game she had previously seen Blake play and win a wad off money for. That doesn't seem too hard. Thought Ruby as she raised her hand to be the next one in line to try her hand at the game.
Meanwhile Blake was giving her final bow as the elusive Velma Kelly and walked off stage with the rest of the cast. She was about to head out to the party when she spotted her co-star having a spat with her girlfriend and leaving in tears. She quickly decided to hold off on the party and follow her friend up to the roof of the theater where she found her next to the door crying on the floor with her arms wrapped around her legs.
"Hey Velves, what's goin on?" said Blake in a soothing voice as she sat next to Velvet.
Velvet whimpered and leaned against Blake, "Coco broke up with me because I told her I couldn't stay in Vale with her and was gonna keep going with the theater."
"So she broke up with your for following her dreams? If she did then she doesn't deserve you Velves."
Velvet shrugged as she sniffled and wiped her face with the handkerchief that was normally used as a prop for whoever played Billy Flynn. "You remember how when we were in college we would come up to the roof and watch the stars as we snuck a smoke?" said Velvet attempting to steer the conversation away from herself.
"Yeah, the roof used to be my favorite place to be back in the day."
"Hey Blake?" said Velvet in a small voice.
"Yeah?"
"I know the party tonight is kind of in your honor but I would really like it if you could stay with me just a little bit longer."
Blake gave her a small smile and said, "Yeah sure, Velvet. I'd hate to leave you alone like this."
Ruby drunkenly shoved a wad of money in her pocket as she left the game with a large crown shouting her name behind her. She spotted a man with familiar blue hair and smiled. If he's here then Blake is sure to be here too. Ruby soon began to wander the house quickly spotting a dark haired girl with amber eyes.
Cinder was leaning against a wall bored out of her mind since a mysterious green haired girl had grabbed Winter some time ago and dragged her to the dance floor. So in her boredom Cinder drank and she drank, not realizing she was a bit buzzed until a familiar brunette with red streaked hair came up to her and trapped her against the wall.
"Hey there beautiful." she whispered as she trailed her hands down Cinder's waist.
"Hey," whispered Cinder with wide eyes.
"You wanna accompany me to that closet over there?" slurred Ruby as she swung her head in the direction of the door beneath the staircase.
Cinder quickly nodded and was quickly dragged to the closet, her mind still trying to process what was happening. As soon as the closet door shut a pair of soft lips smashed against her lips and hands began to claw at her shirt, somehow managing to unbutton it in their drunken haze.
Euphoria coursed through her veins as those same hands pushed up her bra and began to play with her nipples as they quickly hardened when exposed to the cold air. Cinder whimpered against Ruby's lips as she gently scraped her nails against her abdomen and found her way to the button on her jeans.
"What do you want me to do?" whispered Ruby as she unbuttoned the jeans.
"Oh just fuck me." gasped Cinder as Ruby's hand dipped into her underwear and quickly found her glistening lips. She teased her hole just a bit more before she heard Cinder groan and slipped her fingers into her. Forcing Cinder to release a long low growl as she bucked her hips against Ruby's hand. Cinder kissed her way down to Ruby's neck and lavishly began to nip and lick until Ruby sped the movement of her hand.
With one hand playing with Cinder's breast and the other forcing Cinder to half ride her hand Cinder was on the edge of her climax sooner than she had anticipated. It wasn't until Ruby began to circle her clit with her thumb that she became a moaning mess and putty in Ruby's came onto Ruby's hand sooner than she would have liked.
Soon after Cinder made her way back to Ruby's lips and said "I'm gonna make you scream my name."
Ruby just nodded and allowed Cinder to switch their positions with Cinder ruffly shoving Ruby against the wall. Cinder kissed her way down Ruby's body and fell to her knees. Cinder made quick work of Ruby's pants and underwear, she soon began to tease her way up Ruby's legs as if trying to memorize the smooth expanse of her skin and took her time arriving to Ruby's dripping wet lips. She started with one long teasing lick against a whimpering Ruby before diving in. Ruby moaned as she sagged against the wall, she grabbed a fist full of Cinder's hair and ground her hips against her, urging Cinder to go faster.
Cinder replaced her tongue with her fingers inside of Ruby making her moan faster and louder as Cinder began to suck and lick her clit. When she felt Ruby's legs begin to shake she upped her vigor and Ruby began whispering. "Blake. Blake, oh god."
Wait...What? It must be the alcohol, I must be hearing things.
Cinder doubled her efforts and soon Ruby began moaning louder and louder until she screamed "BLAKE!"

Winterschönheit- winter beauty
Schönheit- beauty
Ich steh' auf dich- I'm into you (usually used in a sexual connotation.)
