Prologue 9: The First Shenanigans
An hour later after we fought, we won but the ghosts remain to stay in their place.
"So, will you live here from now on? Prepare yourselves for our pranks, ihihihi!" The lanky ghost cackled.
"Sh#t, I'm going to kick you all out!" He cursed them out. Soon we heard footsteps as the three ghosts vanished from our sight. Crowley then entered the room with a kind smile.
"Good morning, both of you! Did you sleep well?" He asked curiously.
"I was sprawled and suddenly the bottom part of the bed came off, I was so surprised! How long did you neglect this place?" He asked curiously looking unamused.
"And not only that, we both had to deal with those three ghosts too, what could be worse?!" He whined.
"Well...I slept pretty fine." I lied with a slight smile not wanting to tell him about the nightmare I just had.
"Even though you came from another world, you seem strong, amazing!" He praised and I giggled.
"Well like my mom said, you don't take sh#t from other idiots." I cheerily stated making him burst out of a hearty laugh.
"Your mother seems to be an interesting woman. Well, you better get changing because I want to talk about today's work." He informed as I nod where Crowley left the room so I could change my red pajamas to my red skater dress, put on my flower bracelet, brushing my hair, and putting on my golden flats. Then wipe my face with a thin black eyeliner, dark eyeshadow, and red lipstick. Afterward, I painted my nails maroon since maroon is my favorite color. Before I left, I took the note and the dagger that I received last night in my backpack just in case the time comes.
Once I'm done, I head downstairs to meet up with Crowley and Grim at the lounge where we discussed today's work.
"Today you have to clean the campus...But it's not that easy. The campus is very vast. You can't clean the whole place without magic. So, for today, you will clean Main Street starting from the main gate to the library. Understood?" He informed as I held a thumbs up to him.
"You got it, boss," I replied.
"Also please look after Grim properly so he doesn't cause any trouble like yesterday." He reminded.
"Oh trust me, I'll make sure to put him on check," I reassured as I turned to Grim with a dead-serious expression making him flinched.
"Jeez for a human with no magic, you sure are scary!" He shivered.
"I'll be scary as I like if you continue to be a devious troublemaker, you damn raccoon cat." I retorted.
"For the last time! I am not a raccoon or a cat!" He retaliated.
"Okay. So you're not a raccoon or a cat, what are you then?" I asked with a smirk causing Grim to stay silent with his eyes widened.
"...S-Shut up!" He stuttered causing the headmaster to chuckle before turning back to me.
"I'm counting on you. I'll permit you to have lunch at the school cafeteria. Well then, it's time to work!" He marveled as he walks away and left the dorm.
"Tch...I don't want to clean! I also want to go to class and bang! Bah! Bah! Bah! BOOM! Cast some cool magic!" He complained, but I rolled my eyes and pretend to not hear that as I grab Grim by the collared ribbon.
"Come on raccoon cat, let's get going."
"I TOLD YOU I AM NOT A RACCOON OR A CAT!" He bellowed, but I ignored him as I dragged him out of the dorm where we start our day as handymen.
~~~~~~~~~~
Once we arrived at the Main Street, I became awed by the scenarios that I'm seeing. This would be a great place for me to take pictures.
So this is basically Hogwarts combining with Disney villains? Interesting mashup, wish I could take a tour around the whole campus so I could take pictures of them.
I pondered while invested in the amazing surroundings.
"Uwaaah~ Amazing. So this is Main Street. I didn't get a good look yesterday, but what's with these statues? All seven of them look pretty scary." He asked curiously.
"Hm?" I became puzzled until I glance in his direction where I widen my eyes and gasped.
"Eh? What?" Grim looked at me confusingly.
"Oh. My. God. It's ALL OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE!!!!" I squealed with glee as my eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Huh?! You actually know these guys?!?" He asked looking shocked as I nod and I drag him to look at the seven villains from my favorite Disney movies. Then we stopped at the statue from the right where the Queen of Hearts from one of my favorite Disney movies, Alice in Wonderland, is here.
"Let's start with this lovely woman on the right. This right here is the Queen of Hearts! She was known to rule Wonderland, a world where madness and chaos exist. In Wonderland, The Queen of Hearts was a strict woman who valued rules and discipline above all, strict things from the March of the Card Soldiers to the color of rose bushes. And every single citizen of Wonderland submits to her rule. Why must you obey you asked? Cuz one thing: It's OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" I boldly declared impersonating the Queen of Hearts from the movie.
"That's terrifying!" Grim shivered.
"Really? Cuz it's cool, I like it." Suddenly a voice appeared as we both turned to see a young man with dark orange hair and red eyes that has a red patch shaped like a heart over his right eye wearing a school uniform.
"Oh...h-hey there, who are you?" I asked curiously looking a bit awkward.
"Ah sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, but I just couldn't help but hear you talk about the queen of hearts. Hell, I'm even surprised that you knew who the Great Sevens are." He stated.
"The Great Sevens?" I tilt my head.
"Yup, that's what we called them in our school, but I also have to agree with ya. Nobody would listen to a queen who's just nice all the time, right?" He asked.
"Great Sevens huh? Interesting." I grinned liking, the name already. Adds to another touch.
"I suppose. A strong leader is better. By the way, my henchman asked you your name." Grim asked making me frown at him.
"Hey, we had a deal this morning remember?" I reminded.
"Since when did that happened?" He asked playing innocent, but I wasn't buying it one bit where a red vein popped from my head.
"Don't play f@#king innocent you damn cat!" I cussed.
"I'm not a cat henchman!" He retaliated.
"And I'm not your henchman, you obnoxious snot of a goddamn creature!" I retorted as we both exchanged glares to each other making the reddish orange-haired male student chuckle.
"You guys are hilarious! I'm Ace. A fresh-faced first year. Nice to meetcha." He introduced.
"I am Grim. A genius who'll become the greatest magician. The dimwit over here is Gloriane, my henchman OW!" He winced after I bonked his head.
"Not his henchman, but yes, I'm Gloriane Corbett. But friends and family called me Glory or Glor for short and I don't mind if you called me either of them." I reassured with a grin.
"Glory or Glor Huh? Odd nickname for a beautiful girl like you." He complimented causing me to blink my eyes.
"Me?" I became bewildered yet flattered.
"You heard me hot stuff." He teased as he gave me a wink and I chuckled at his joke.
"Cut the sh#t! I'm not that hot." Glory chuckled softly with Ace chuckling back at the young ravenette.
"Oh! Tell me about the lion over there with the scar, are they famous?" Grim asked pulling the hem of my dress as I spun to gasp in excitement when I see a statue of Scar from the Lion King.
"Oh yeah, I know him! That lion statue your seeing is Scar who rules over the savannah." I told him.
"Yup, he's also known as the King of Beasts. However, he was not born to be king, but took the throne through effort and elaborate planning." He explained.
"Mhm. After becoming king, he allowed the loathed hyenas to live in his kingdom without discrimination." I explained further.
"Oooh. I guess he was a rock not held captive by his status! Who's the lady with octopus legs?" Grim asked where we turned to the right where I immediately squealed to see a statue of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
"Ooo that's easy! That's Ursula. She's the sea witch who lives in the caverns of the deep ocean and she is known to be rivals with the king of the seas, King Triton." I told him.
"Very true, and her purpose was to help all unfortunate merfolk. As long as you could pay the price she could transform you, help you find love, anything." Ace explained.
"Mhm just like how Ariel wanted to find love, but...you know how that turned out," I stated with a sweat drop as memories of watching the scenes from the Little Mermaid hit me hard when Ariel was forced to give up her mermaid life to be with Eric though it backfired at the end...
Ace and Grim looked at me weirdly before Ace continues explaining about Ursula.
"Anyway, if it was within her power there wasn't anything she wouldn't do. They say her princes were pretty high, though." Ace explained.
"Heh she's really high maintenance, isn't she?" I asked with an intriguing smile.
"She sure does." Ace replied with a grin.
"Nyaah! So what you're saying is I can get rich if I become a great magician?! Then what about this man in the big hat?" Grim asked curiously as we both turned to see a statue of Jafar from the film, Aladdin.
"That's Jafar. He's the Sorcerer of the Sand. He was a cunning vizier to a foolish sultan and saw through the fake prince and you know why?" I asked Grim.
"Eh why?" Grim asked curiously.
"It was because the prince was actually a street rat trying to deceive the princess. Then he got a magic lamp and became the most powerful sorcerer of all! With that power, they say he became sultan." Ace explained.
"Ho hoh! So magicians need to be the center of attention! Oooh! This lady sure is beautiful!" Grim gasped as I turned to the left where I gasp with awe when I saw a statue of the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
"That's the Queen. She was known for her beauty where she would check the "beauty ranking" in her magic mirror every day to make sure she's the fairest of all lands." I explained to Grim.
"And when it looked like she might fall from the number one spot, she never hesitated to do anything to get it back," Ace added.
"I guess she had the strong will to remain the most beautiful in the world? So freaking amazing. They say she was even adept at making poisons." Ace stated.
"She's pretty but...no thanks..." Grim sweatdropped.
Yeah, I wouldn't go near her if I were you Grim.
I thought while sweat dropping.
"You think? But it's cool that she has something she'll never give up." Ace reassured.
"Well, that's true..." I replied.
"S-Sure, that single-minded drive is pretty cool. Over there, what's with the guy on fire? Just looking at him gives me goosebumps." Grim stayed as I turned to the left to let out a fangirlish squeal to see a statue of my favorite character, Hades from the film, Hercules. Ace and Grim widened their eyes at my reaction.
"Jeez, you seem bouncy." Ace remarked.
"How can I not?! That's the lord of the underworld himself, Hades!" I stated with pure excitement in my tone.
"Hades?" Grim tilts his head curiously.
"Yup. He rules a land crawling with evil spirits on its own. No doubt he is extremely skilled. Even though he's got a scary face, he did a detestable job without ever taking a vacation and his sincerity won over Cerberus, the hydra, even the titans, to fight for him." Ace explained.
"Hhmm, hmm. So having talent doesn't mean you get to be haughty. And the last one, with the horns?" He asked as I turned to the left where we saw a statue of Maleficent from the movie Sleeping Beauty. My eyes became wide and my jaw dropped a bit when I saw one of my favorite Disney villains from the movie.
"OMG MALEFICENT YASSS!!!" I screeched with my eyes beamed with ecstasy freaking night grim and Ace out.
"Jesus, you love the legendary seven do you?" Grim asked.
"How can I not? These are my favorite people!" I gleed making Ace chuckled at my excitable reaction.
"Well this lady you're seeing is the Witch of Thorns from the Magic Mountains. Noble and elegant, even within the seven she is top class in magic and curses!" Ace explained and I nod my head agreeing with him 100%.
"Damn right! She can also summon lightning and storms, cover an entire country in thorns, her magic is on a whole other level. She can also transform into a huge badass dragon!" I added making Grim widening his eyes with awe.
"Oooh! A dragon! All monsters look up to them!" He gleed.
"Yup, they're all pretty cool if you saw them in person," I assured him with a dorky excitable smile.
"They're all so cool indeed...Unlike a certain raccoon." He sneered.
"Eh?"
"Hah?!"
We both freaked out by what he just said where started laughing his ass off.
"Pfft...ahaha! I can't bear it anymore! Ahahahaha!"
"What the f#*k?!" I cursed looking so confused.
"Aren't you the guys who went crazy at the entrance ceremony? You were summoned by the Dark Mirror even though you can't use magic cuz you have some kind of power hidden, and you, monster, weren't called but still trespassed." He mocked.
Is he for real?
I thought with a red vein popped from my head.
"Yaaahh, it took everything I had not to lose at the ceremony." He chuckled.
"Wha?! You're a rude one!" Grim shouted with a frown.
"And now you weren't allowed in and regulated to janitor? Haha, how lame." He taunted making Grim grumble.
"On top of that, you don't even know about the Great Seven. How ignorant can you be? Hell, even that non-magic loser knew everything about them!" He sneered and that is when he definitely crossed the line when he called me a "loser".
Oh, that does it!
I pondered while glaring at the obnoxious jerk. Without hesitation, I walk up to him and smack him across the face. Take off guard by the slap and he turned back to me, covering the side of his face, eyes full of surprise.
"Gah! Damn what the he-"
"Listen, idiot, just because he doesn't know who the Great Seven doesn't mean you have to be a huge d*ck about it, but don't you DARE call me a loser, Dipsh#t! Tch, odd nickname for a beautiful girl yeah right! Like you're one to talk! Who even names their child after a f#@king card with a 1?!" I bellowed glaring at the obnoxious jerk. Frightened by my fiery temper, he backed up more when I kept getting up in his face. But once I finished, the stupid ass smirk of his came back as looks down at Grim.
"I recommend you go back to kindergarten before coming to Night Raven College."
"Why you little-!"
"I thought I'd just mess with you a bit, but you really blew my expectations away!" Ace then turns to me.
"And you've got quite a temper on you! But let's see if it rivals that of the Queen's~. Unlike you two, I've classes to attend. Keep the school squeaky clean, you two!" He turned on his heel and started walking.
"That jerk! He's just gonna say that and leave?! I'm pissed now!" Grim growled. Before I knew it, he had summoned a wall of fire, blocking Ace's way.
"What the-?!" He jumped back. "Watch it! What're you doing?!" He turned to us.
"It's called payback, bitch!" I shouted.
"Yeah! That's what you get for making fun of me! I'm gonna light that fire-head of yours up!" Grim smirked, standing in front of me.
"Fire-head Huh?" Ace scowled. He eyed me with a snarl.
"You've got guts picking a fight with me, girl!" And then to Grim, "You too. I'll turn you into a fluffy, little toy poodle." He threatened.
"Lame insult ever," I remarked with a blank look.
"Fgnaa!" Grim summoned more flames and fired them at Ace.
"Uh-oh! Better watch out! Take this!" And with a swish of his wand, the fire was gone with the wind.
"Oh sh@t!" I gasped in shock when I witnessed Ace making Grim's blue flames disappear with his wind magic.
"This guy is blowing wind all over the place! My fire is getting all twisted up!" Grim griped. I feel like something bad is about to happen, so I went up to Grim and Ace trying to dissuade the fight from getting worst.
"Hey, guys let's not-"
"What's going on?"
"Hey! They're fighting over there!"
"Yeah get 'em!"
Annnnd here comes the peanut gallery. Great. Nevertheless, I gotta stop them quick before Crowley arrives!
"Uh, guys-"
"A little flimsy fire like that won't hit me!"
"What? You better take that back!"
"Wait! Guys!-"
"EAT THIS!" Another fireball was thrown.
"Grim, no!"
"And I just change the trajectory with the wind like....so!"
And the fireball was tossed at one of the statues.
My mouth dropped and I facepalm at their recklessness.
"Damnit I tried to warn them!" I grumbled. Then Ace screamed.
"AUGH SH#T! The Queen of Hearts' statue's burnt!"
"That's 'cause you're throwing my fire around! Just stay still and let me fry you!" Grim yelled.
"You think someone's just gonna let you off the hook after saying that?" Ace snapped.
"Stop it you two! If the headmaster finds out-"
"Enough!! Just what is going on here?!"
Goddamnit.
I thought as I let out a sigh and turned to see a pissed-off Crowley.
Ace and Grim froze in their spots, seeing the headmaster's fuming face.
"Guh! Headmaster!" Ace yelped.
"He's gonna tie us up with the "lash of love"! You better run!" At this point, I spun my head away just as the whip was brought out. I cringed and pent my shoulders at the crack sounds. I open one eye open to see them lying on the ground groaning in pain.
"Owww!"
"Fgyaaaa! Hurts just as much the second day in a row!"
"This is my Lash of Love! It'll be another hundred years before you can outrun me!" Crowley eyed Grim with a sigh, "I told you just yesterday 'to not cause any trouble', didn't I?" Then to Ace, "You go and char one of the statues of the Great Seven! I very much would like to see you expelled!" He scolded as fear struck Ace with that word.
"Wait! Not that!" Worried, I ran out of my spot to defend them.
"Sir, please, they didn't-" I tried to explain the situation to them, but was cut off the headmaster's eyes landed on me.
"And you! This is not how you supervise Grim!" I halted at his words.
"Well...at least they didn't wreck the statues?.." I stuttered with an awkward grin as sweatdrop dripped from my head while letting out a nervous chuckle. He sighed.
"My goodness...You, your grade, and your name?" He turned to Ace.
"Ace Trappola, First Year." He mumbled.
"Then Trappola, Grim, and Gloriane. As punishment, I order the three of you to wash 100 windows around the campus!"
"What?!" I gasped at him in bewilderment. "I didn't even have anything to do with this!!!" I shrilled.
"Nyaaa?! It's all cause this joker was making fun of us." Grim shouted.
Oh sure Grim, now playing the "pointing fingers" game!
I thought while glaring down at him.
"Eh? Me too?!" Ace questioned.
"Most definitely! After school, meet in the cafeteria. Understood?" He asked as Ace let out a reluctant sigh.
"Fiiine..."
"Noting but misery since yesterday." Grim complained.
I glance down, lips in a thin line. Welp, that's one way to start our first day...damnit.
