[Discontinued*] The Darling Princess [A Twisted Wonderland Fanfic]

🦁 Chapter 76

"Hey! Wake up!"

Y/N's eyes shot open, and her fist shot up. The last memory had left her somewhat twitchy, and poor Grim was on the receiving end of Y/N's fright.

"Ah!"

"Oops! Sorry Grim," Y/N said, pushing herself up from the dusty stadium floor.

Yuu laughed and knelt next to Y/N, pulling her into a tight hug and running his hand through her hair. He shut his eyes, savouring the feeling of her in his arms, and the way that she had her hands pressed on his chest.

"Don't ever do that again," he whispered. 

Y/N just smirked. "I make no promises of any sort." 

"Why did you have to punch me?!" 

The two teens turned to see Grim clutching his nose with his paws, stumbling around a little. Y/N laughed and scooped up the tiny raccoon when he came close enough.

"Sorry Grim, you just startled me."

"I'll say," Yuu said. "It's wonderful to see that you're awake again Y/N. We were getting worried. We weren't sure what to do if you stayed passed out like that."

Y/N heard Leona groan next to her and she set Grim back down, walking over to the lion. Ruggie and Jack moved to the side when they saw her, allowing her to kneel next to the tired lion. 

"How are you feeling, Leona," she asked. 

Leona glared at her, slouching over slightly as he rested his forearms on his knees. "Don't expect me to be all buddy-buddy with you know, Herbivore."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "No of course not. I didn't think that we would go back to being friends. I just wanted to come over here and see how the prissy princess is doing." She got to her feet again. 

Leona looked like he was about to say something, but Grim's sudden appearance stopped him. The little cat walked right up to Leona and pointed a paw in his face. "Now then, go ahead and confess that all of the accidents were part of your plan!"

"What? Come again?"

"Mr Kingscholar."

Crowley had appeared. 

"You fell into an overblot rampage due to being consumed by blot and negative energy. Do you not remember?"

Leona didn't seem to care about the Headmaster's question. "I went on a rampage... Overblot? You're kidding..."

Grim did not care about Leona's overblot. As Y/N had said many times before, Grim had a one-track mind, and in this case, his end game was participating in the Magical Shift tournament. 

"More importantly, the magical shift tournament is about to begin. If you don't confess we can't get our prize and play in the tournament!"

Leona frowned at the tiny cat. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

"They went after you in order to get permission from the Headmaster to play in the magical shift tournament," Jack said, though he corrected himself when Y/N nudged him with her foot. "T-the Prefect and Grim did anyways..."

"Eh? You did it for something like that," Ruggie asked. He sounded shocked that Yuu and Grim could want something for themselves.

"Something like that," Grim shrieked. "You went around injuring people for 'something like that'!"

Ruggie seemed to be at a loss for words. "Ugh... Th-that's... right, I guess..."

Crowley nodded and turned back to Leona. "Then it's safe to assume that the series of accidents around campus were all your dorm's doing?"
