Down the Rabbit Hole... To A Brighter Place

New Faces

My Pov

Ahh... I didn't want to get up. It had been a long time since I had a good night's sleep like this. I opened my eyes slightly and noticed the room was brighter. Sun must be coming up... just five more minutes. I closed my eyes and began to drift off when...

"Heeheehee... don't you all have to be up to clean the school?" a voice asked. My eyes snapped open and I was greeted by the sight of the ghosts!

"Ahhhh!" I screamed. This caused Grim to snap awake.

"What are ya yellin' for- Ffgya!? The ghost are back?!" Grim exclaimed. I heard numerous footsteps running toward my room, before the door flew open. My sisters all piled into my room, before stopping.

"Yikes! What're the ghosts doing here?" Ran asked, hiding behind Fumino.

"I thought we drove you guys out." Tora said.

"Are you all going to be living here now? You're all going to get pranked. Kekeke!" the skinny ghost laughed.

"Shoot. We'll get rid of you eventually!" Grim said. Then, Crowley appeared.

"Good morning, all. Did you all sleep well?" he asked.

"I was all sprawled out until I fell out the bottom!" Grim said. We each voice our small complaints about each of our rooms. "Then she woke me, this is the worst!"

"The ghosts woke me up!" I said.

"Even though you just got toss over from another world you can still be cheeky, wonderful!" Crowley said. Glad he thought so. "I came to speak to you about your work today. Get dressed and meet me in the dorm longue." All of us got dressed and went downstairs to the longue.

"What do you need for us to do, sir?" Hikari asked.

"I need each of you to clean parts of the campus." Crowley said. The whole campus? That might be a bit much, even with twelve of us. Well, thirteen. "But the campus is quite large. Cleaning it all without magic would be impossible. So, I will delegate responsibilities to each of you. Tora and Mikan; you two will clean the greenhouse." Both of them nodded. "Hikari and Yurina; you two will clean the library." Crowley said. They both nodded. "Arisa and Azuna; you two will clean the kitchen and cafeteria." Both of them nodded. "Emiko and Sayumi; you will clean the classrooms." Both of them nodded. "Fumino and Nagisa; the two of you will clean the clubrooms, especially the Science Club room." Both of the nodded. "Finally, Kokomi, Ran and Grim; you three will clean Main Street from the main gate to the library."

"All right, sir. We'll all get right on it." Ran said.

"And girls, please watch Grim closely so he doesn't cause a scene like yesterday." Crowley said.

"Of course." I said.

"I'm counting on all of you. You also have my permission to have lunch in the school cafeteria. Take care of your work enthusiastically." Crowley said, before departing back to the school.

"Tsk... No way I'm doing any cleaning. I wanna go to class and, bang! Boom boom boom! Use a bunch of awesome spells~" Grim said.

"You're going to behave yourself, lest you get us all kick out of the school." Emiko said.

"Once we're all done cleaning, we can go study in the library." I said. I heard Grim muttering under his breath. We all ate a small breakfast and then headed out. Everyone else went ahead of us toward the school, while me, Ran and Grim stopped at the statues that were along Main Street.

"Wow!" Ran said.

"Uwaaah~ Amazing. So this is Main Street." Grim said. I didn't get a good look yesterday, but what's with these statues? All seven of them are pretty scary." Grim said. I looked at the nameplates of each statues; The Queen of Hearts, the King of Beasts, the Sea Witch, the Sorcerer of the Sands, the Fairest Queen, the King of the Underworld and the Thorn Fairy. These must be figures of great importance to the school.
