{DISCONTINUED} Highschool for Monsters and Other Creatures

Chapter 15: Sparky Sparky Boomwoman

Saturday, September 9th
Winnona Iyer, a sophomore at Royale Enchantment High. Winnona, 16 years old, with a passion for scrolling on Pinterest and avoiding royal duties. Winnie, a princess that is about to kill 30 of the most important people in the world. She woke up in her bed made of leaves. She picked up her contacts from her nightstand. She walked down the polished stairs of her castle. She saw the big windows and opened the blinds. She saw flashes of light. She sighed, remarking, "The tabloids are here!" She sat down while a maid wheeled over her father. He was as pale as the cup of milk he was drinking. A cook made their food, but Winnie went back upstairs and got dressed. She took out her piercings, put on a platinum blond wig, and wore a simple white dress. She walked to her balcony, "Hello citizens, I'm very much aware that my father isn't doing too well. But, he'll be attending the meeting at 2:00 PM. Now, for the sake of privacy, we won't tell you about his condition. Tha-" The maid ran up the stairs, before screaming, "KING IYER HAS WINGALGIA! HE HAS TEN YEARS! HIS REIGN, IS ALMOST OVER! HIS SKIN IS PALE AND HE IS QUITE FRAIL!" Winnie's jaw dropped to the ground, her heart beating like a drum. She'd known the maid for five years. After one got executed, and the other got exiled in a few months, she was left with Wanda. She knew a lot of secrets and was highly trusted. Secret service agents appeared, almost out of thin air. Their guns went off, and the maid fell. Winnie stared before going back into her house. She fell face-first onto her bed. Winnie thought about that feeling, where you feel guilty. The feeling where you feel responsible. The worst feeling. Whenever she felt that feeling, she did something. She would be mischievous, and she felt it was time for her to get the bombs. She went to the basement and went into the "bathroom". There was an array of bombs. She picked one up and carried it back, making sure no one saw. Then, she used her computer skills to put the timer for 2:05 PM and put it into her dad's bag. Once it was 1:00, a secret service agent drove him to the capital. Winnie turned on the TV, waiting for two. She watched Netflix while waiting. Waiting felt eternal, almost as if time stopped completely.

Liam woke up from a nice nap on the couch. The TV was on the news, while Achill folded clothes and Afu cuddled Wilhelmina. "Ok, as of now, the Griffin bridge meeting is starting." The news reporter directed. They showed the circular table, with all 30 of the most important people in the world. "I'm sorry for running late." King Ailbhe apologized. Then there were ticking noises. TICK TOK! TICK TOK! They got faster and faster, louder and louder. A light appeared from inside King Iyer's bag.
BOOM! BAM! BOW!
Decapitation, amputation, death. The death was on live television. Liam was half asleep but saw his father's head roll onto the ground. He sprung up and started crying and hyperventilating. "IS HE DEAD? IS HE SERIOUSLY DEAD? HOW COULD THIS IDIOT DIE!" He screamed and shouted. Wilhelmina started the cry. Her father tried to shush her. "Liam, calm down," Achill said, with sniffles in his voice. "Y'know Achill, I CAN'T JUST FUCKING CALM DOWN! MAYBE YOU CAN BUT NOW I HAVE TO BE KING. I have to wave, I have to be professional, and can't show weakness. I have to get over the fact THAT I LOST BOTH OF MY PARENTS! THAT I AM STILL HUNG OVER A BITCH. THE FACT THAT IF I DIE WITHOUT AN HEIR, YOU WILL BE KING. And oh boy, that would be HORRIBLE! THE ONLY THINGS YOU KNOW HOW TO DO ARE TO BE A SUBPAR FATHER AND A PAPER BAG! AND I'M SUPPOSED TO CHERISH YOUR FIANCE EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TRASH-TALKING ALL OF US MONTHS AGO. AND THE FACT THAT HE KILLED DENISE!" Achill cried, like a baby. "H-how could you say that? We've been through this m-much." He couldn't say anything else before he exploded into tears. Afu chimed in, "I HAVE CHANGED! I'm not the same person I once was. Now, I have responsibilities and love. Look at what you have done to your brother. He feels betrayed, and frankly, I do, too. I loved Denise, and I love your brother. I loved that Denise had the strength to hold our creation, even though she didn't want to. The real murderer was her parents." After that, he went and snuggled Achill, who was still crying. But the door opened. The flashing lights appeared. The cameras took photos of the scene. But even though there were people, Liam continued. "YOU ARE A GOLD DIGGER! YOU TOOK MY BROTHER! THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT! Frankly, I'd rather be dead than live with you." Achill pushed Afu away, before saying, "Liam, we have a sister. We have aunts and uncles. We have cousins. And my fiancé is not a gold digger. He is with me for love. I love Afu. You are the only one who doesn't know that we got eloped. Maybe, if you'd realize that it's hard taking care of a child and that I need your help." Liam just stomped upstairs. Achill l, Afu, and Wilhelmina snuggled again. But the paparazzo was still there and put their grubby microphones up to their faces. "So, what's wrong with Liam? What is your opinion of King Ailbhe's decapitation? Is the elope story true? Who changed their last name?" Afu was reluctant to answer, but he decided to, as they might go away. "Liam is just overrun with emotions currently. The decapitation was traumatizing. The image of my father-in-law's head being of his body, is-i-is horrifying. The elope story is true, I and Achill are legally married. And, we hyphenated both of our names." The paparazzi left right after. They didn't even bother to close the door. "H-how could one person say s-such h-h-hurtful things?" Afu sighed and said, "I wish I knew.

Sunday, September 10th
Tributes filled in. People such as King Ailbhe were missed, but King Iyer wasn't. The news was filled with the whole Winnie Balconygate and Liam's Paparazzogate. The news channels had a gold mine for content. "Is there a royal riff between King Liam O'Brien and Prince Achill O'Brien?" "Queen Winnona Iyer, will she be better than her father?" Achill's privacy was ruined, and Afu got hundreds of thousands of people saying he was either a gold digger, and a bitch, or a murderer. Liam was called crazy, psychotic, and every other negative word someone could find in the dictionary.
