Once Upon a Time

Chapter 2

~ Third person pov ~

It was beginning to dawn.  It was around 6. Evie had just entered her room.  She looked at the alarm clock on her bedside table.  It would knock in a minute from now.  He walked over to it and closed it just before it started to ring.  "I caught you, again" she exclaimed in frustration.

Ever since she was little, Evie had a big problem with her sleep.  He was sleeping little or not at all for long periods of time.  No spells or potions were working.  Her brother told her that she was cursed.  He called her a variant of sleeping beauty, she was cursed to eternal sleep, and Evie to eternal insomnia.

Every night he lay in bed.  He would try for at least an hour to sleep but to no avail, in the end, he would end up walking around the campus or school, and looking through mirrors, hoping to discover something interesting.

He had learned a lot from it.  He knew what Octavinelle was doing, what was going on in Savvanaclaw and Scarabia.  He knew what offense every student of Heartslabyul committed and in general, he knew a lot.

I walked out of my dorm and headed towards the Alchemy classroom.  Nice way to start your day.  So yes, alchemy is my favorite class, but I'm really tired, and I'm burdened with Yuu's responsibility and getting him home, and I can't concentrate at all.

Well the program today was easy, we had Alchemy, history of magic, ancient curses, biology, magic analysis, potions and animal languages.  Classes were just over and I headed to the hall of mirrors to go back to my dorm.

Grim:  "Stop right there, pal! No fair gettin' a head start! Wait! "

I heard a familiar annoying voice say.

red hear boy:  "Who in their right mind would ever wait?! Seeya!"

Grim:  "No way are you gettin' out of this! You think I WANNA wash windows?"

blue hair boy:  "...Hm?"

red hair boy: " Outta my way!"

blue hair boy: " Hey! What gives?!"

Yuu: "He's shirking his cleaning responsibilities!"

Blue hair boy:  "What? That's not right! But how to stop him?"

Blue hair boy: "  Like, freeze his legs? Or bind them with a rope?
Or maybe I could... Hmm... No..."

Grim:  "I don't care how! Just do something! Anything!"

Blue hair boy: " Anything?! Anything, huh...
All right!
Here goes anything!
I summon thee... something heavy!"

Red hair boy: " Bwaaah?! Wha?! A pot?!"

Grim:  "Ah ha ha ha ha! Look, Yuu, look!
That Ace guy got crushed beneath a giant cauldron! It squashed him flat! Aha ha ha!
That's what you get!"

Blue hair boy:  "A cauldron?! I wasn't expecting that. I may have overdone it this time..."

Ace:  "Owwww!
What are you bothering me for? You guys coulda just banged out the work yourself!"

Yuu: " There's no "banging out" a hundred windows!"

Evie : "can i know what the hell is going on here?!"

Yuu :" Oh, Evie, hehe, what's up?  all good! Heh "

He answered me with a drop of sweat running down his face.

Blue boy hair:  "You have to wash a hundred windows as punishment? What the heck did you do?!"

Ace: " I was just screwing with that furball a little. ...Okay, and the statue of the Queen of Hearts got a teeny bit charred. Sue me."
