Tough Love

3. SHADOW

THE GIRL GASPED as she saw the owner of the voice uncover themselves. Morgie—son of Morgana le Fay, was staring deep into her soul.

Bridget felt uncomfortable—though not trying to put her discomfort on display, she put on a rather fake smile, "Hello? Morgie." Bridget said.

"Hello-eek" Bridget's eyebrows narrowed as she was confused why the boy was squealing.

"Why are you- never mind, how did you get here?" Bridget asked. He went through the forest, but he managed to come out? That wasn't supposed to happen.

"Bridget! please help me! I ran and I managed to get out of the forest but I'm scared I think I still have the curse, I'm not sure, I don't know, BRIDGET. I'm gonna die. That's it-"

"Morgie." Bridget firmly called before sighing, "Calm down." she smiled, "You are so dramatic."

From her pocket, the girl pulled out her deck of cards before shuffling them and flicking them about—creating a reddish flow of magic as it penetrated through Morgie's body.

"w-woah how- how did you do that?" Morgie took out his mini mirror compact and tried turning his eyes green but instead, they turned into a bright shade of pink, Bridget laughed at his girlyness.

Suddenly, Morgie's face dropped as he patted himself down as cleared his throat, "what's the time?"

"Uh.." Bridget looked at him confused "Im not sure..there isn't much, you know..technology with me right now." Bridget smiled awkwardly.

"I missed Uliana's meeting. I missed Uliana's meeting. I missed Uliana's meeting." The boy chanted to himself as Bridget knitted her eyebrows, would Uliana really be that angry?

Before she knew it, Morgie was off—going to chase..whatever he was chasing, probably going to run to Uliana.

Bridget shook her head as her fingers touched the freezing cold water, goosebumps went down her spine as she shivered.

Deep down she wished someone would be beside her, staying with her—she needed someone.

Behind her happy facade, Bridget was one of the saddest people ever. She remembered the days when she cried herself to sleep confused why no one wanted to be her friend.

She has Ella—and she thought that was all she needed but Ella was busy at home most of the time. So where did that land the pink haired girl? Alone.

She didn't like feeling alone but it seemed, wherever she went..she was alone. Maybe it was destiny for her to live her life by herself.

RUBBING HIS EYES, hook groaned at the sight of Hades and Maleficent cuddling on the blow up mattress next to his bed.

The sun shining throw a crevice where the curtain didn't cover. Hook grabbed his blanket, pulling it over his head.

*SLAM*

Hades gasped as Maleficent jumped out of his arms, the two staring at who banged open the door with such urgency.

"Morgie. If this isn't a life or death situation. I will kill you." Hades threatened as Morgie shook his head, taking a seat on Hook's bed.

"I..saw.." Morgie paused before continuing, "I saw- wait what's her name again?"

Hades' face of annoyance turned into a smirk before laughing, "Her? Morgie is getting girls now..I always thought Hook would get a girlfriend first but you surprise me." He laughed as Maleficent slightly slapped him on the chest.

Hook glared at the god as he turned back towards Morgie for him to continue, "I saw Bridget Heart. And she- well she did this magic with her cards and I was like 'wow!' and then like- oh wow" Morgie stopped speaking from his out of breath-ness

"I walked in the forest—you know the one where you die and stuff, Bridget was there."

The trio laughed at the serpent boy as Hook chuckled into his speech, "you think we have a care in the world for that pink princess?"

"No, no, that's not all. She did some magic with her deck of cards and i'm alive. I came out the forest alive." Morgie said amazed

Maleficent raised her eyebrows, "we seriously don't care. Tell Uli or something.."

Just as she wished, He ran out Hooks boat—most likely to Uliana, though no one would be sure why she would care about this silly piece of information.

BARELY AWAKE, THE princess of wonderland started brushing her teeth and hair, putting on her dress choice of the day which was a mainly red dress with intricate pink heart detailing all over—It was different for her dress not to be all pink but she wanted to try something new.

Her elder sister Bria, once told her the colour red washed her out—it upset the girl considering how the colour of wonderland was mostly red and her whole family would wear red.

In family pictures she would stick out like a sore thumb, which she didn't mind as she liked to be special, Bridget wanted to be known as her own person instead of the Princess of Wonderland or Bria's younger sister. She wanted to be her, Bridget of hearts.

Though she never could be. Forever she felt as if she was in Bria's shadow, cast away like she wasn't important..she understood that she wouldn't ever take the throne being the second daughter.

Bridget was a spare incase something happened to Bria and she couldn't become queen. Her parents didn't have her because they wanted her but because they just needed a backup of their perfect first daughter

no one cared for the second.

Bria learned how to do everything first, She was even admitted into the best school in Wonderland, Bria could imitate multiple accents which earned her a few laughs at family gatherings.

She knew she could never be as good as Bria—even the boy's Bridget liked Bria would all of a sudden date them.

Boy's flocked to Bria's feet but she wouldn't give them the time of day till her younger sister had gained an interest in one of them.

That's why she came to Merlin Academy for school—she wouldn't be anyone's sister or be in a shadow but she'd be recognised as herself.
