Chapter 30: Beautiful Evil

____

Y/n's eyes flashed open to a shock of glacial cold. She was on her back, sealed in a frosted glass coffin.

Dozens of blurry silhouettes loomed over her. Panicked, she lurched up, but her body was frozen. It wasn't glass. It was ice. She tried to inhale more air, but gagged. Her eyes bulged, her cheeks went blue... Then the dark shadows parted and a pink specter floated through. With her tongue, Y/n breathlessly wiped frost clear. Sophie, bald and grotesque, smiled down at her, a Doom Room ax in her hands. Y/n closed her eyes, assuming Sophie was now mad at her too, waiting for death. Sophie gazed at her through ice, ran her fingers over Y/n's entombed face... and raised the ax.
Somewhere Hester screamed.
The ax smashed through ice, shattering the tomb. Y/n was then pulled up to a tight embrace.

"Freezing my princess?" Sophie sighed. "That's no way to treat a guest, Hester."
Y/n looked around and saw Agatha, tied to a pole, trying to talk but her mouth was glued shut.
"The arrows– it was you–" Y/n stammered, pulling back from Sophie. "You tricked us here– to kill Agatha–"
"Kill Agatha?" Sophie looked hurt. "You think I can kill her?"
Across the room, Y/n saw Hester huddled with Anadil and Dot, gawking at their once roommate, now a bald, shriveled hag.
"Truth is, I want to hurt her," Sophie said, melting the ax away with a glowing finger. "But I won't. Just for you." She caressed Y/n's face.
"For me?"

Sophie studied her rotted face in a balloon. "My behavior last night was poor."
"Poor?" Y/n coughed. "You tried to kiss me, by force!"
"Wouldn't you do the same?" Sophie said, peering at Y/n's f/c gown in the balloon. "If you we're madly in love?"
Sophie turned, pink gown glimmering. "But I am in love with you Y/n, I've always been," she admitted out loud for the first time. "And this is our fairy tale. And either I and Agatha end it as enemies or we end it as friends."
"Friends?"
"The School Master said it was impossible. And perhaps we all three thought him right." Sophie said, skin cracking around warts. "But how could he ever understand us?"

Y/n recoiled, not sure what to do.
Sophie nodded. "I'm ugly now," she said softly. "But I can be happy here, Y/n. I really can. As long as I have you. We are just where we belong. You and Agatha are Good, and I'm Evil."
Her eyes drifted around the decorated Hall.
"But Evil can be beautiful, can't it? You've always been so good at seeing beauty in things."

Torchlight flooded the windows. "Sophie, Evers at the gates!" Anadil shouted, looking out.
"Revenge," Y/n said, quivering. "You said you wanted revenge."
"How else to lure Good here, Y/n?" Sophie said sadly. "How else to show them all we wanted was a Ball of our own?"
"Sophie, they're coming!" Dot screamed. Beneath their feet, Evers rammed the castle doors.
"But now we'll end all this, won't we?" Sophie said, drawing a gnarled fist from her dress pocket.
Y/n's eyes widened. Something was in her hand.
"SHE'S UPSTAIRS!" The Evers had broken in.
"Y/n," Sophie said, prowling towards her, fist tight.
"KILL THE WITCH!" Evers cried, storming up the stairs.

Sophie reached out her spotted first.
"My friend... my true love..."
Y/n cringed. Sophie unfurled her bare palm– and sank to one knee.
"Will you dance with me?"
Y/n lost her breath.
BOOM! Evers bashed the hall doors.
"Sophie, what are you doing!" Hester screamed.
Sophie held out her withered hand to Y/n. "We'll show them it's over."
The doors splintered.
"One dance for peace," Sophie vowed.
"Sophie, they'll kill us all!" Hester shrieked–
Sophie kept her hand out. "One dance for a happy ending, Y/n."

Paralyzed, Y/n looked at her, as the door locks shattered. Sophie's warts gleamed with tears. "One dance to save my life."
"On three!" Tedros roared outside–
Sophie gazed up at Y/n with wide coal eyes. "It's me, Y/n. Can't you see?"
Shivering, Y/n searched her ugly face.
"One!"
"Y/n, please..."
Y/n stepped back, terrified.
"Please..." Sophie begged, face cracking. "Don't let me die a villain."
Y/n took a step back.
"The Good forgive, Y/n."
Y/n froze.
"I know you're Good." Sophie breathed.
"Two!"
