Chapter Three: Relatives

Jane continued to stare at the Princess of Hearts.

She put her hands behind her back and walked are her.

Jane stopped in front of Lizzie. She tilted her head up with her hook.

Lizzie blinked, her face emotionless.

Jane scowled. "Why do we look so similar?"

She shrugged.

The pirateress sighed and walked away. "Let's go Esmee."

"Yes Captain."

Esmee caught up to her.

She gave a weak smile. "Esmee, you can take a break."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Goodbye Captain! See you tomorrow!" Esmee thanked, running away.

Jane nodded.

She was annoyed.

Not because Lizzie wouldn't give them the map, but because she didn't know why.

And she always knew why.

Cerise ran after Sparrow. "Give me back my hood!" she screamed, covering her ears.

Sparrow was quickly caught and pinned to the ground. "Okay… Wo-wolf girl" he managed, shoving the red cloak at her.

The half-wolf quickly latched it on. "You were exposing my secret!" she hissed.

Sparrow smirked. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Sparrow! You're gonna pay!" she growled, sprinting away.

Sparrow got to his feet. "Whatever, Cousin Wolf." he whispered.

Jackie walked past him. "Hey Sparrow."

"Hey babe."

"What did you call me?" she asked, her tone cold.

"Geez! Sorry!" he muttered.

Jackie glared at him. "I belong to Jace… and Jace only…" she mumbled, looking down, her eyes still burning with fury.

As she walked away, frost covered the path.

Sparrow smirked. "It's time to find this… Jace…"

Nyx walked in the halls, the horrors of the night behind her.

Dexter waved from the other end. "Hey Nyx!"

She rolled her eyes and approached him. "What do you want?" she growled.

"I thought we could just hang out."

The dark princess narrowed her eyes. "I don't 'hang out' with commoners."

"But I'm a Charming."

"Fine. I don't 'hang out' with lower royal ranks."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I said no."

"But-"

"Silence!" she screamed, blue flames surrounding her figure.

Suddenly, Dexter couldn't talk. He nodded and walked away.

Nyx sighed, feeling a little sad.

No.

She couldn't let the kindness in.

She was the heir to the Evil Queen.

She would do her best.

But Nyx was pulled towards the nerd-like prince.

"Dex, wait!" she called, running after him.

Dexter paused and turned around.

She lifted the spell. "Fine. I'll go with you."

He beamed. "Thanks! I was thinking the enchanted forest?"

"Sounds good. You lead the way. Unless…" She smirked.

He furrowed his brow. "What?"

"Unless you wanna go on my hydra."

His eyes widened. "Uh, Hydra?"

"Yeah, my pet Hydra, Aftershock."

"Erm, okay…"

She smiled. "Awesome. Meet me on the roof."

Nyx disappeared into the shadows.

She reappeared on the roof. "Aftershock!" she called.

The nine-headed dragon swooped down, folding it's wings.

A few minutes later, Dexter ran out onto the roof.

"I-I'm here." he panted.

Nyx rolled her eyes. "You take so long…" she groaned.

"S-s-sorry…" he managed.

She laughed. "Let's go, dummy."

Dex nodded and followed Nyx onto the massive dragon.

"Rule one. Don't. Touch. Me. Rule two. Don't fall off. Or do. I don't care. Rule three. Don't be annoying." Nyx instructed.

"O-okay. Where do I hold onto then?"

"One of its necks."

"Oh."

Nyx rolled her eyes and twirled a hand in the air, blue, heatless flames of magic appearing around the dragon.

Aftershock took off for the enchanted forest.

Dexter stared around in awe.

The sun sank down while the moon slowly rose.

Nyx smiled. It was a small smile, but a beautiful smile.

Aftershock folded his wings to his side, hurtling towards the ground like a rocket.

Dexter closed his eyes in fear.

At the last moment, the hydra stretched out its wings, flying close to the ground. Aftershock landed and let the two passengers off.

The dark princess laughed. "What did you think?"

"Terrifying." he admitted.

She laughed again. "So why did you want to hang out with me?"

"Raven's out, remember?"

"Yeah."

Dexter grabbed her hand. "I want to show you something." he said, pulling her away.

"No touching! Remember?!"

Jackie checked her Mirrorphone every few minutes.

Her friend Aria Writelock was finally coming.

Fairytale Academy held her back for a while.

The snow girl sighed and sat down on a bench.

"Hey Jackie!" chirped a familiar voice.

"Aria!" she exclaimed, getting to her feet.

She was dragging her bags across the floor.

Jackie folded her arms. "What did you bring?"

Aria was about to answer when She stopped her.

"Let me guess. Books."

The rainbow-haired girl nodded.

Jackie smiled and grabbed a bag, hauling it to Aria's room.

Aria pushed open the door to find Melody Piper playing a song on her electric keyboard.

"Um, hi."

Melody stopped and looked up. "Hey, hey hey!"

Jackie set Aria's bag on the ground. "I'll be going."

"Bye."

She walked away, frost appearing where she stepped.

Melody got to her feet. "I'm Melody. You?"

"Aria Writelock."

"Cool, cool. Lemme help you with your bags." she offered, pulling down her headphones.

"Thanks." Aria replied, beginning to unpack.

"No prob" Melody replied, a smile on her face.

Maddie jumped up and down, doing somersaults.

"Correction, hopping down and up, while doing cartwheels."

I forgot she could hear us…

Maddie! You shouldn't be talking to us!

"But you two are just too wonderlandiful to ignore!"

*sigh*

"Well? Will you two continue or not? I wanna know why I'm excited!"

But you already know your own feeli-

She won't listen.

Oh, I know.

Can't you narrate?

I'm pretty sure it looks weird when I'm narrating.

Of course. You speak in italics. Now. *ahem* Maddie was excited about camping with her two best friends ever after, Raven Queen and Cedar Wood.

And they had a special guest.

Blondie Lockes.

She had apparently followed them out, hoping to get some gossip.

The poor girl hadn't been able to get any for the past two days.

"So, what do you all think about the new students?" she asked the three friends.

Raven was obviously annoyed.

She secretly placed a flesh-eating worm on Blondie's back.

Maddie giggled maniacally and hopped er, down and up.

"That's right, Narrator! Down and up!"

Blondie had a confused look stuck on her face. "Narrator? What narrator?"

"Oh, the voice in my head!"

The blonde-haired girl shrugged, knowing that Maddie was just being... well, Maddie.

Cedar bit her lip. "I think they're okay. It's not like they'll kill us or anything. Well, maybe Nyx will, but isn't she supposed to be like that? But that doesn't mean that I'm a royal. Nyx is a royal so I'm speaking for her point of view. You know?"

Blondie smiled. "Thank you." She turned the camera to face herself. "That's Cedar Wood and her opinion about the Fairytale students!"

Raven rolled her eyes and continued roasting her marshmallow.

Maddie plucked the marshmallow off the stick and stuffed it in her mouth.

"Maddie!"
