After breakfast, the girls parted their own ways.
Well, at least, Blondie and Cerise did.
Blondie sat crisscrossed on the floor with her mirror pad on her lap. She reread the article for what felt like the millionth time today. None of it made sense to her. It was like something was missing, and she didn't know what was missing.
No, that's wrong. Blondie knows exactly what she is missing. What they were all missing. The feeling of having confidence. The feeling of being self-assured was just, gone. There was nothing of confidence left. In fact, all that was left behind besides curiosity was self-awareness. And that was a scary thought she couldn't help of being aware of.
See? That's being aware. Aware of one's own true desire and character. And that could be terrifying to anyone.
Cerise was sitting by the entrance were they had all fallen through just yesterday. She couldn't get over the fact that is was just yesterday when she met these girls, and already everything is chaotic and frankly, just fucked up.
The article they had read a few hours ago mentioned a possible runaway girl know as Little Red. Everyone suspected she was that girl while Apple was the famous heir to becoming the next Snow White. It was too soon to say Apple was indeed that girl, but she knew deep down, that Little Red was her. Her strong gut told her so. It just made sense, her family...both sides, already knew their secret. Something they all eventually got used to. But if it was discovered by the public...it would be in no doubt that a war could easily be ignited between the wolves and the hoods.
Cerise sighed, for the 9,348 time since they were dragged into these load of sh**. She closed her eyes as she rested her back on the wall in a more comfortable position, sinking deeper into her red hood like it was a protective cloak. Slowly, she found herself drifting to sleep.
There was about 74 student's seated in chairs, all eyes focused solely on the talking headmaster on the tall podium. It resembled a large opened book a little. The second-years legacy day practice was about to begin, but before any of that could happen, the newly 3rd years who never fully experienced their legacy day last year thanks to a famous student was forced to listen. The Headmaster and the other tall young boy were both staring down at the crowd. The current vice principal, Headmaster Grimm, stood next to them staring at nothing; his face looked blanked.
The young man spoke first ''My..father,''-the word father didn't sound right. One should have been proud to have their father as headmaster, but he sounded confused, sad even. Like if he was asking a question to himself-'' The Headmaster, has you all here today for a very important reason. Last year, thanks to the current heir of the Evil Queen's throne, has ruined Legacy Day. And if those actions weren't enough... she also messed with these worlds purpose. That very important purpose of our destiny. She and all the rebels thought these would bring good to the world, but it didn't. Things are the way they are for a reason.''
All eyes landed on a pale face in the crowd. The dark-haired girl stared straight ahead, trying her best to not look down or glare at the figure standing before them. She wanted nothing more than to punch him. Or at the least cast a spell on him, and his father. The spells rhyming words were at the tip of her tongue. But it would be useless. Her powers are gone. She had just managed to control them.. and they were gone. She was now a normal high school girl. Part of her was relieved these happened. But she missed her powers, she missed her pet dragon and she even missed her mom a little. And strangely, she missed the destiny she originally hated. Compared to her destiny now, it was like heaven. And this new destiny had no escape whatsoever.
A red hooded girl stared at this girl frowned upon next to her. She felt like comforting her, but it would be impossible in this situation.
These time the Headmaster spoke. Dragging the attention of the student's back to the podium.
'' In other words. Because of these, you will all also be practicing you Legacy Day today. It will be exactly like it should have been last year. These will help fix everything.''
The red hooded girl gave off a low growl as she clenched her fists. If it wasn't for Raven elbowing her and giving her a small comforting smile, the Headmaster would have been dead.
''So our practice begins now. You will all set an example for the younger students. We will start in order by fairytale. First, one up would be Snow White and the seven dwarfs.''
Raven Queen frowned but stood up to line up anyway, an even paler skin and the blond haired girl followed behind her. She looked familiar, too familiar.
The cloaked girl didn't say anything, nor did she pay attention. The ground appeared more interesting than reality right now.
''The Tale of Little Red Riding Hood is next.'' The younger boy called. He looked down at the cloaked girl and then to the tall slim figure that was her sister. Their eyes met for a second, and he tried his best to give her dear friend an apologetic smile. She must really hate him right now. But that's ok, he hated himself too.
The slim wolf girl was up at the podium first. She said her legacy speech briefly and quietly. And opened the pretended book with a giant key.
Then it was the red girls turned. Little Red.
She frowned at the large book in front of her. She couldn't decide if this giant book- that seemed bigger than last year- of stupid school rules; or the actual Story Book of Legends was worse.
She looked up at the crowd, but changed her mind and looked straight ahead instead. She said something, but it sounded weird. She then growled, loudly.
Oh no, she didn't. She wanted to, but she didn't.
She slammed the book shut and walked off at a run-walk space. She buried deeper into her cloak as if it was her sanctuary.
Cerise eyes open flashing yellow, startled as she would have called if she wasn't already on the ground.
''Cerise? Uh..you ok?'' Apple asked.
Cerise eyes turned back to their original color. ''I'm fine, just a nightmare. No worries.'' She smiled.
Apple examined her eyes before smiling and nodding. She looked stood up and walked away. Furrowing her eyebrows.
