『Prologue - Cruel Answer 』

- (Your Name) -

Riddle - "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
I sudden chill went down my spine as those words came out, and just as those words left his mouth. A gold brimmed heart shaped collar, with black and red colour along the inner rim, appeared around the feline's dainty and delicate neck, he reacted in shocked and surprise.

Grim - "Nygah!? What the... What the heck is this!?"
The cat slowly began to rise onto his hind legs, he did begin to wobble due to the size and weight of the collar but in the end, he did manage to stand back up.
(Fun fact: I was actually playing TWST while writing this bit of the chapter, currently I'm almost done with chapter three, I'm currently in chapter 30 now. And yes, I do actually play twisted wonderland.)

Riddle - "As stated in the laws of the Queen of Hearts: number 23 "One shall never bring a cat into a festival", and your presence here at this college is a violation of regulations! hence forth you must be immediately removed from school grounds!"

Grim - "I told you already, I AM NOT A CAT!"
Grim them grabbed the sides of his collar, before whipping out a smug expression.
Grim - "And, once i incinerate this stupid collar, you'll all be..."
His eyes then wide with what seemed like shock, now I'm curious. I looked towards the silver haired male, or Azul, only to see a sly smirk upon his face. He knew about this kind of power, but there was something else, something I couldn't put my finger on.

Grim - "Eeh!? what's going on, my fire...It's gone!"
Riddle placed both his hands upon his waist, while pulling his own smug expression upon his face.
Riddle - "Hmph! As long as that collar remains around your neck, you will be nothing more than just a common house cat"
This infuriated Grim to the finest.

Grim - "What!? Y-you can't treat me like this! I'm not some ordinary house pet!"
Riddle - "Oh please, as if I would ever take home a filthy animal like you. Once your off-school grounds, I shall arrange for the collar to be removed"
Wow, this guy sounded very prim and proper, almost made my ears burn, now my mind went back to Griffin, where on earth did that bird brain go?

Azul - "Impressive as always, Master Riddle. Your unique gift allows you to seal away and all magic... I simply must have it"
I watched as his expression turned dark, wanting even, the hidden layer had finally been pealed for a brief moment. But as soon as those words lift his mouth, it was easily covered back up again.

Azul -"And that is to say that I would hate to fall prey to that kind of magic... Nor the claws of a ferocious and demonic bird like creature"
He then turned towards me with a still phoney smile, facade that was used for show.

Azul - "And, I must say that little friend of yours definitely came in handy during our pursuit, they must have be fully trained, judging by that display shown to us... Would you care to demonstrate more of your little birdy's capabilities?"
Now I knew what this guy was hiding, his desire... For power. I "politely" put on my best generous expression on.

(Your Name) - "Thanks, but I'll have to decline"
Azul - "Oh? And why's that?"
Can't this guy take a hint that I didn't want to take his offer? And that i just wanted to be left alone.
(Your Name) - "Well, heh...You see ah-"

Just then, Crowley came stepping in. Anger and peeve written all over his face, thankfully that Azul character stepped away, most likely, not wanting to get in the way of a furies teacher.
Crowely - "How ridiculous!? This cat is your responsibility after all! you must do something about this at once!? Proper discipline-"

As if the saved by the bell, Griffin thankfully came back from who knows where, a familiar deep red duffel bag. My duffel bag... Which he used to knock out the Dean from the back of his head. Crowely ended up stumbling a bit forward but strangle neither his hat nor mask got knocked off by the force. His face held shock and surprise, as well as some gasps from the neighbouring people around us to bare witness this very moment.
