A/N: hello! episode used :21 of school of secrets ... I hope you guys like it :)
The trio stayed on the girl in the pink rain coat tail all the way back to a hidden grove right behind the dorms. With nowhere to run the mysterious girl was cornered. The girls besides the one in the pink flower raincoat were all out of breathe. Lily was surprised that they were actually able to keep up. The mysterious girl finally breaks the silence
"I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings" the girl was clearly flustered her voice filled with sincerity.
"No, no, no, we haven't been featured in your videos yet"
"Wait what?! Then why are you all here" the nameless girl was rightly confused as after reading all those comments. The students of Auradon prep were not real happy with her videos.
"Well I wanted to talk to" Chloe claps her hand excitedly as they found the one responsible for posting the videos, an idea she wish she had thought of. This girl was an utter genius with sensible shoes!
"I just wanted to thank you" Lily shrugs her shoulders
"And I'm here to make sure that these two don't get themselves into any more trouble" Eva reluctantly gestures at Lily and Chloe.
"Don't worry we're not going to expose you. We just want to talk"
The girl in question slowly lets down her hood whose face which was once covered with shadows became clear as day.
"Lonnie!" all three girls gasped
"Keep your voices down I don't think the entire school heard you!" Lonnie whispers
"You are coming with us" Evangeline states mater of factually trying to make sure none of them got caught after hours, and take hold of this situation.
"But" Lonnie tries to object
"No buts" Eva crosses her arms and stares Lonnie down "or would you rather get caught standing here? Come on our room isn't far from here" the other girls murmur in agreement.
The girls followed Lily's lead as she was the best at getting in and out of a place undetected. They made it to Eva and Chloe's room without any trouble as the security wasn't the tightest. Why would it be? Every villain was already locked away. They were more of figure heads than actually security. Auradon prep didn't even have any cameras. The fairy Headmistress was too trusting of her students. In the center of the room Lonnie stood waiting for the flood of questions. Chloe of course was happy to comply.
"Okay now spill, why did you do it? How did you come up with the idea? Why the camera? Are there more? "Chloe give her a chance to reply" Eva placed her hand on Chloe's arm to silence her and give the girl in question a chance to actually speak. Lonnie looks at each of the girls before her response trying to find the best way to explain the reason behind the videos.
"Well I wanted to show how people truly are, people act like their perfect, but they are two faced"
"the royals?" Lily questions knowing this was exactly who Lonnie was talking about. "Not you guys of course! People like Chad who strings poor girls along, or Audrey treating everyone like servants" Lonnie back tracks to make it clear that they weren't the ones she wanted to expose.
"Is that why we never made an appearance? Because honestly I don't know if I should be flattered or offended" Chloe pouts making relieving the tension in the room as everyone chuckled.
"Flattered, they show people at their worst… and they only last a minute each I only took the most interesting clips" Lonnie laughs and begins to visibly relax.
"Good thing my brother made his decree then," Lily realizes as it help exposed how the student as they truly were.
"Yeah it made for great material" Lonnie agrees "Now if you don't mind I have to go through footage and edit it for tomorrow's video" she is relieved that since the secret it's not as much of a burden.
"If I could ask for a favor? Could you stop broadcasting when the Villain kids arrive?" Lily asked
"I was planning to stop then anyway, besides I don't want my videos to be used as ammunition for Ben's decree to fail…and as long as you girls don't tell anyone my identity"
"Deal!" reply in unison. They all shakes hands on it cementing the promises made. Lily looks down at her phone realizing how late it was, as well as, the missed phone calls.
"Oh no" Lily begins to panic
"What?" Eva turns hearing the distress in her voice
"I'm so in for it when I get home!"
"You didn't tell your parents we were sleeping over?" Chloe
"It's a school night!" Lily scrambles to get her stuff together hoping that she remembered to leave window open. Granted she wasn't expecting to stay this late the time just flew by.
"Oh right" Chloe
"See you around Lonnie, bye girls" rushes out of the room to her moped. Despite not being 16 yet her parents allowed her to get a motorcycle license which allowed her to get a teal vintage moped similar to her older brother's. once she returned to the castle Lily tries to sneak in but all of the usual spots are blocked off in some way she has no choice to walk into the main entrance. Sitting right in the center of the room was her mother of all people. Now she was really in for it.
"I see that you finally decide to come home" to just say that Lily's mother was upset would be an understatement her father had the temper but her mother always kept control of her emotions Unlike her father, King beast, when her mother was upset it was a quite never raise her voice kind of anger. It lulls the victim into a false sense of security.
"Um yeah" lily rubs the back of her neck uncertain what to say she defiantly couldn't tell her about what happened and her mother had a knack for telling when she was lying.
"Um yeah ... doesn't tell me why you were out this late"
"I …uh…" nothing came to mind
"I'm waiting for an explanation"
"I was out"
"Hildegard has told me about your little escapades" now she was in for it!
"It's not like anything bad would happen … all the villains are already locked up
"That is not the point Liliana! You are as of the moment under house arrest you will go straight to school, complete your royal duties, and come straight home"
"But..." Lily tries to protest with little luck.
"Do not but me Missy, you're lucky I am this forgiving… Also you are under restrictive phone privileges. I do not want you scheming with your friends. Hand it over!"
Lily reluctantly hands over her phone
"Just so you know we will be talking about this with your father your reckless behavior is getting out of hand. I am very disappointed in you… now go immediately to your room"
Lily laid on her four poster bed looking up at her bedroom ceiling deep in thought until a golden puff ball purring as she rubbed against lily's face.
"Well hello Seraphina... I think I really did it this time" Seraphina nestled her head into Lily's out stretched hand purring the entire time.
She rolled over as Seraphina curled up against her trying to fall asleep and forget the pending doom that awaited the next day.
