Ever Twisted

Chapter 11 : The Heartslabyul's Tea Party Part 1

Walking towards Ramshackle, Raven felt as if she had a pep in her step. After her secret got out, she was starting to get used to her new life in NRC. Sure people still saw her as the Evil—well Beautiful for them— Queen's daughter, but they didn't expect her to be evil like her; and thinking about it, it would have been more complicated if she continued to holding on to her linage in the long run.

As she approached the building, Raven knock on the door; only to be greeted by voices in a panicked tone followed by arguing who she quickly Identified as Ace, Deuce, and Minerva.

Deuce: HE FOUND US ALREADY!!!
Ace: I told you this is the first place he'll check!
Deuce: Why did you even drag me into this!?
Minerva: Would you two calm down; it's possibly not him.
Ace: You don't know that!, and I'm not taking any chances!
Deuce: Me too!
Minerva: Fine then I'll check for you.
Ace: Min No! Tell him we're not here.

As Minerva open the door slightly, she noticed a confused Raven outside.

Minerva: Relax idiots, it's only Raven.
Ace: Still not coming out! Too dangerous!
Minerva: *sigh* Sorry Raven you can come in.
Raven: Thanks.

As Raven walked inside, Deuce slowly peeped his head from around the corner— be cautious that it was only Raven Minerva let in— followed by Ace.

Deuce: Were you followed?
Raven: Umm..No. Why?
Ace: Because we're being hunted.
Deuce: We!?
Ace:Fine. I'm being hunted.
Raven: ........
Minerva: They did something really stupid in Heartslabyul, and now they're hiding from Riddle.
Deuce: Again, I was dragged into this.

Raven had to think about it for a moment. She vaguely remembers meeting someone named Riddle when she got here; but introductions from the others were brief that she could barely remember which one.

Raven: Who's Riddle again, and which is Heartslabyul?
Minerva: What? Oh right, you only really know about two dorms here. To answer your second question, in a nutshell Heartslabyul is the dorm founded by the Queen of Hearts based on strictness and law.
Ace: And Riddle Rosehearts is the one of the school's strictest Housewarden ever!

Hearing this, Raven thought about Lizzie; who was the daughter of the Queen of Heart. Lizzie as far as Raven knows was always strict after something— and loud when shouting her commands. She how Lizzie would take this situation if she knows about this.

Raven: (They follow Lizzie's Ancestor? That must mean that they follow wonderland rules in the dorm then. But most of the rules there make no sense; how are they able to do that?)
Minerva: What did you even do the get him angry this time?
Deuce: That's what I been asking the entire time. Did you eat another tart?
Ace: Of course not! I'm not doing that again.
Minerva: You didn't wear a full set of pink while feeding flamingos?
Ace: I'm not on flamingo feeding duty this week.
Minerva: Then what?
Ace: I have no clue.
Minerva: So you're running from Riddle; and you have no clue for the reason why?
Ace: I just don't know! Okay!?
Minerva: Well if you don't know, then don't come here to hide!
Ace: Look it's better here than to stay at Heartslabyul.

Raven thought about this and then remembered something.

Raven: Did you eat a quiche for brunch today?

As she asked this everyone had confused looks on there faces.

Ace: What, No? Why would I?
Deuce: Now that you mention it, Housewarden Rosehearts was eating a quiche with a few others....
Minerva: So you think he's bent out of shape over A Quiche? Why would he be?
Raven: Well, I just remember hearing that a rule was to eat a quiche for brunch on a Friday of a prime number.
Minerva: And that made sense.
Deuce: That's a rule? Wait, what's are the prime numbers again?
Minerva: Well there's 2,3,5,7, 11, 13,17,19.....
Ace: Wait! Today's 23th; and Friday .....I broke a rule over a quiche!?
Raven: Well the Queen of Heart's rules aren't supposed to make sense. So...
Ace: Me head's going to get chopped because of a quiche....WHY ME!?
