Ever After High: Next Top Villain

Chapter 9- Swan Secrets

*that night in the Castleterria at dinner Duchess was eating curly fries and swamp greens while looking at a banner that read:

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT TOP VILLAIN?

Duchess: *annoyed* (Blondie, must've put them up...)

*Blondie suddenly comes over to her table with her MirrorPad on Duchess smiling gleefully*

Blondie: *puts the MirrorPad in Duchess' face* So, what mean and rotten thing are you going to do? And be sure to speak into the microphone so everyone can hear you!

*Duchess glares*

Duchess: *glares* I'm eating here! Ever heard of personal space! Besides, if I had a plan, why would I tell you?

*Blondie pushes the MirrorPad closer*

Blondie: *arches eyebrow with a smile* Are you saying, you don't have a plan?

Duchess: *annoyed* No, I'm not saying that.

Blondie: *turns the MirrorPad to her face with a smile* You heard it here first people. Duchess Swan's says she's saying she doesn't have a plan.

*Blondie rushes off to find another General Villainy student*

*Duchess gets up puts her tray in the trash and walks outside*

Duchess: *thinks as she looks up at the moon and the stars* (I need time to think. I could go to the studio for solitude, but I know another place where I could be alone...)

*she hides in the bushes and willingly turns into a white swan bathed in lavender magic and waddles out into the Ever After High pond where she's greeted by Pirouette as well as the other swans and starts gliding*

Duchess: (As much as I would love to stay here with my swan sistren and Pirouette, gliding in the water and looking at the sky, I don't want to stay like this forever...Ugh! Stop talking nonsense. I'm not a Rebel...like Raven.)

*Duchess in her swan form watched students walk by hand in hand paying her no mind and vice versa...until she smelled something incredibly sweet and looked over to see Ginger sitting on a bench tossing crumbs into the water, in which her fellow swans glided over and started eating*

*Ginger suddenly gets a call from on her MirrorPhone and answers*

Ginger: *on the phone* Yes, mother. It's true. I'm supposed to do something rotten and nasty by Friday. *her expression turns into concern as she listens to her mother* I know, Mother. I don't want to disappoint you but- *her mother interupts and Ginger sighs* But-! *she gets interupted again* Yes, I know.

Duchess: (I can only imagine what that conversation is like. Do what you're supposed to do. Do your duty. Uphold the family reputation. Blah, blah, blah. And I thought princesses had it bad, villain reputations are probably worse. Maybe, I'll ask Lizzie.)

Ginger: *sighs* Of course, I have a plan mother. I thought of it all by myself. *explains* On Wednesday morning, I'm going to sprinkle sandman powderonto my popular cinnamon trolls and serve them for breakfast. Then everyone will fall asleep and miss their first class of the day. Then I'll wake everyone up with super strong hocus latte's.

*Duchess listens closely*

Ginger: *to her mother* No, I don't need one of your recipes. I'm not going to poison anyone. *she sees Ashlynn and Farrah walking past* Ok, gotta go Mom. Love you, bye. *she clicks off her phone and gets up and goes over to Ashlynn and Farrah*

Duchess: (Sandman powder doesn't really sound evil. And a bunch of students would love to miss their first class. This plan sounds more beneficial than evil. With a plan like that, Ginger wouldn't get to be Next Top Villain or the A...but she does have a plan, unlike me.)
