Chapter Four: Memories
A black and white-haired girl ran through the woods.
She ran as fast as the wind.
That is, until another girl banged into her.
Specifically, a girl in a red hood.
The black and white-haired girl collapsed on the ground.
"Watch where you're going!" she growled.
"I-I'm sorry. I d-d-didn't know anyone e-else ran in the f-f-forest." Cerise stuttered.
"Well now you do!" she growled.
She helped the girl up. "I'm Cerise. And who are you?"
The girl smirked. "Oh my dear, dear Cerise. Can you not even recognize your sister?" she cooed.
Cerise's face brightened, squeezing the girl into a tight hug.
"Luna!" she exclaimed cheerily.
Luna rolled her eyes and pushed her away.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." she muttered, running away.
Cerise gave a sad smile, pulling out a picture of them when they were younger.
"I wish we could be like this once more…" she whispered, watching Luna disappear into the distance.
Luna ran faster, her figure a blur.
She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to escape the memories of her past.
She stopped abruptly when she bumped into someone.
Specifically a boy with dirty blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a blinding smile.
"Uh, Cerise? Is that you?" he asked nervously.
She opened her eyes. "I am not that hooded doormat!" she growled.
"Sorry, it's just you look so similar. I'm Daring Charming. The Daring Charming. And you might you be, charming little lady?"
Luna glared at him. "One, I'm not a charming little lady. I'm the daughter of the Big Bad Wolf."
"I'll need a name."
"That's… classified."
"Fine. I'll see you later, Miss Wolf." He flashed a toothy grin.
Luna shielded her eyes and growled before running towards the school.
Dylan was flirting with another girl.
Like usual.
His twin sister, Gemini, rolled her eyes. "Wow, I'm having so much fun, following you around." she hissed sarcastically.
Like usual.
The girl smiled shyly.
Like usual.
"Go with me to Briar's party tonight?" he asked, smirking.
She nodded.
Like usual.
Stop saying 'like usual'!
Sorry.
But me saying that is all part of the story.
Everything those two did was always the usual.
They were the children of Stacia Queen, a cousin of the Evil Queen.
Gemini grabbed his wrist and pulled him away. "Let's go get a soda." she suggested, trying to keep him away from the girl.
He glanced back at the girl. "Fine." he muttered.
Like usual.
Stop that.
I'm sorry.
Aria tapped her fingers on the table. She furrowed her brow in confusion,
"Melody, can you turn off the music? I'm trying to do my thronework."
Melody nodded and shut the speakers down.
She sighed in relief.
The answer popped into her brain and she swiftly scribbled it down in her flowery handwriting.
She shut the notebook closed. "Okay! Done with that."
Aria scanned over the contents of her desk. She perked up when she saw her Mirrorphone.
Melody had started the music again.
The rainbow-haired girl picked it up and called Jackie.
Jackie's Mirrorphone rang.
She fished it out of her pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jackie. I just got done with my thronework. Wanna hang out?"
It was Aria.
"Yeah, sure. It's cool. See you at your dorm."
"Mmhmm. Bye."
"The end."
Jackie hung up and stuffed it back in her hoodie pocket. She picked up her staff and flew back to Ever After High.
She landed on the balcony of Aria's window.
Aria opened the window. "Hey! Let's go shopping!"
Jackie smirked. "Okay, Miss Writelock."
The ivory skinned girl hurried back inside.
She turned around and the wind pushed her towards Book End.
"Where to first?" Jackie asked.
"The Glass Slipper. I want more heels." she replied bluntly.
She laughed. "I knew it!"
Aria blushed. "Don't judge my… small obsession…"
"Small? Yeah right!"
She gave a reserved laugh. "Yeah, okay, maybe not so small…"
Jackie pumped her fist. "And Jackie Frost wins again!"
Aria laughed again. "Okay, let's hurry up and go!"
The snowgirl grabbed Aria's wrist and commanded the wind to take them to The Glass Slipper.
"You should get your hair touched up too. I can see the roots."
"Really? Okay."
.
.
.
"Wait, how long did you know about this?"
"A few weeks before you moved to EAH."
"What?!"
Nyx watched the waterfall carefully.
"Nothing's happening."
"Shh…"
"Dex…"
"Just wait!"
"We've been waiting for like, thirty minutes!"
Dexter opened his mouth to argue.
"Nope! Don't say a word! I'm lea-"
"Nyx, look."
She turned her head. The waterfall was starting to turn black.
Her eyes widened, showing glee.
"It looks like… it's being corrupted by a demon! Hideous! Perfectly hideous!" Nyx gushed.
He smiled. "Yeah. I thought you'd like this."
"Why are you doing this?" she asked.
He shrugged. "I don't know. I just kinda wanted to see the 'Oh So Powerful Queen' be excited about something."
She crossed her arms. "You could've just gotten me a bottle of poison." Nyx pointed out.
"Oh… right…"
"You're such a weirdo." she grumbled as she turned and walked away.
"Hey! I still need to get back to EAH!"
"Walk there."
"What do you mean?! We're on a cliff!"
"Then jump."
"It's 40 meters across, Nyx. I can't jump that far!"
"Well then, welcome to your new home." she replied.
"Nyx, please!"
"Whatever."
Nyx climbed onto Aftershock's back and flew up high into the clouds, unseen to him.
Dexter sighed. "Dang it."
Just then, he felt a scaly snout nuzzle his back. He turned.
"AAAAHHH!"
Nyx burst out laughing. "Oh my fairy godmother! You should've seen the look on your face!"
He looked embarrassed. "Eh heh heh heh…"
"Come on, get on you idiot."
Dexter made his way onto one of Aftershock's heads and held on tight as the hydra flew away.
Dexter waved goodbye to Nyx.
He suddenly realized it.
"Hex no… I like both of them?!"
Daring burst through the bedroom door. "Dexter!"
"Daring?! How much did you hear?"
The older Charming looked confused. "Hear what?"
He sighed in relief. "Nothing. Did you need me for something?"
"Yes! Tell me, you're friends with Cerise. Kind of. Do you know what kind of chocolate she likes?"
"Cerise is allergic to chocolate. But she likes meat."
Daring struck a heroic pose. "Then I will get the fair lady a steak! Thank you, dear brother!"
Dexter shook his head in disbelief.
"My brother is such an idiot." he mumbled.
There was growling outside the door.
"Watch it, you fool!" hissed a muffled voice.
"My apologies, Miss Wolf!"
"Yeah, whatever. Just leave me alone."
Dexter tilted his head. He cautiously walked over to the door and opened it.
There stood a drenched wolfgirl.
She glared at him. "Got a towel on you? You better." she growled.
He nodded and hurried to get her a towel.
She snatched it from him.
"Thanks." she muttered.
"Uh, no problem…"
The girl dried herself off and threw the towel back at him. "You take care of that. It's not mine."
"Okay…"
The girl left abruptly.
"Weird…"
Luna was grumbling to herself all the way back to her dorm.
She opened the door to find Gemini sitting on the bed, drinking cream soda and chomping on gummy bears and gummy worms.
She stared at her belongings that were scattered on the floor.
"Move your stuff, Royal Brat." she hissed.
Gemini ignored her.
"Hey, are you deaf or something?"
"No, just ignoring you." she replied bitterly.
"Then clean up your stuff!"
"Fine!" she grumbled.
Luna sat down her her bed and watched as Gemini cleaned.
"I'll get my revenge on you, Dog Breath."
"Whatever. Not like you're fast enough to."
"Heh. You'll regret saying that."
"No way, Omega."
"What did you just call me? For your information, I am a future Queen!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." she muttered.
"Wow, you must know everything I'm gonna say too!" she exclaimed, her voice oozing with sarcasm.
"Tch, you're such an idiot that you think I know that!"
"Whatever."
Dylan was taking a video of the verbal fight through the window.
Luna noticed him. "Stalker!"
Gemini laughed. "You do something useful for once!"
"Yeah, and you compliment me for once."
She rolled her eyes.
"You missed a spot."
"Shut up!"
