you're incredibly wicked

15: first quarter in aquarius

Nikolai opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of a forest, and right in his view was Serena, who was on the floor.

"Where am I?" She opened her eyes. "I swear I was in my bed, reading Hansel and Gretal."

Nikolai sighed.

"You need to stop reading before bed and taking me with you, because what kind of sorcery is this?"

Serena got up.

"I don't know how you get here."

"So, you were reading Cinderella last time?"

"Yes, I was."

"Dear god."

He picked himself up and brushed himself off.

"So, I guess we are in Hansel and Gretal. Looking at it."

Nikolai took a small walk around.

"I guess so."

"Here. Let me help you up." He extended his hand to Serena.

Serena took his hand and he used all of his might to pick her up, so much so that she tilted past him and fell flat on her face.

"I HATE YOU!"

"I know you do."

Serena got up and brushed herself off.

"Why are you such a meanie?"

"Why are you talking like a baby?"

Serena started to walk away.

"Fuck you."

"I know you want to."

Frustrated, she turned around and looked him straight in the eye.

"Shut the fuck up and let's get out of here."

Nikolai put his hands up.

"Whatever you want, angel."

"Let's go."

She grabbed his hand, frustrated and started to walk down the trail in the forest. Though it was pitch black outside, there was a strange pale light emitting from the tops of the trees.

Nikolai started to search through his pockets.

"If we are in Hansel and Gretal, do we have any bread? For breadcrumbs?"

Serena stopped.

"We're supposed to, but how do we get home?"

She searched through her pockets as well.

The two of them searched in their pockets until there was nowhere else to look.

"Well, we're fucked." Nikolai said.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious."

Serena stormed away, and Nikolai grabbed her arm.

"Why are you always so sassy with me?"

"I should be asking you that."

"I expect it from me, but not you."

"Angels actually have an attitude. We just hide it very well. May you please let me go so we can move on?"

"Course, darling."

Serena rolled her eyes and violently stalked down the trail of trees and Nikolai followed suit.

The two of them walked in silence for a while until they saw what appeared to be a cottage made of sweet treats. Cookies, candies, and cake decorated the exterior of the cottage and Serena felt her stomach growl. Nikolai watched as Serena started to knaw on a piece of the roof that ressembled a chocolate tea biscuit. Once she had a good serving, she went to Nikolai.
