"It's probably my job to tell you life isn't fair, but I figure you already know that. So instead, I'll tell you that hope is precious, and you're right not to give up."

Red Doesn't Stand For Love 2
Tick, Tock! Tick, Tock!
The grandfather clock was the only thing that made noise in the silent room. The tension between everyone was so thick that you could use a blade to cut through it. It was like a heavy layered mist, shadowing and clouding everyone's thoughts and better judgement. Waves of negative energy was seeping through the mist, directed at one person; Milton Grimm. Isn't it ironic that his daughter was the one sending the dirty looks and glares at him?
"Do you have any idea how much trouble you all are in?" he asked.
"No, but I bet your gonna tell us." Sparrow said, placing his feet on the desk in front of him.
"Mister Hood, I don't suggest angering me anymore than I already am," he paused, deepening his frown as he stole a glance at Malice and Charon, "In fact, since you royals and rebels are such buddies, all of you will be sharing one room together in the punishment hall."
There were moans and groans of anger and annoyance. A small smirk swept onto his lips as he continued.
"Girls will be in one room, males are in the other. There will only be two bathrooms," there were gasps of shock and protests, "AND there will be bunk beds. You can figure out the rest on your own. Your curfew is now nine o'clock," he looked at his daughter, "Your curfew is now SEVEN."
"You have go to be fu-" she began when Charon covered her mouth.
"I'll make sure she makes it home on time." he stated, wiping the spit from her tongue off of his hand.
Present Time...
Raven took out the Oracle, placing it in the table in the middle of the group. The good thing about being roommates with everyone was that she could meet up with them everyday, without drawing attention or suspicion. The group stared at the book, then at Raven.
"Malice, can you do that thing you did with me?" Raven asked the girl in the shadows.
A light blue orb surrounded everyone immediately, and before they knew it, they were in the world between our words. This time, it was different. A golden silhouette of a person was in front of them.
"I'm glad you all are here now." it said, "I am the oracle, guardian of time."
The oracle moved through the shadows, with the group hot on its trail. Then it stopped, a tunnel of light before it.
"This is my tunnel of time. You must go back and find out how the first stories were created."
Malice was te first to step forward. She took a step forward, then stopped, clenching her heart in agony.
"Oh no, not now!" everyone heard Charon yell.
The world around them began to shatter like broken glass. Using the last of her energy, Malice combined powers with Raven to create a protective barrier around everyone, before he world went dark.
