Wizard's Wish - (Kinda) Yandere SGE x reader

Chapter 44: Merlin's Secret Book Club pt 2

(For anyone who cares, this chapter carries spoilers for the Rise and Fall of the School for Good and Evil. I have already teetered the line a bit and included some spoilers, like Peter Pan mentions and what not. But if you care about spoilers for those books, I would recommend perhaps reading them first, or listen to the audio-books because those are really good. If you have already read them or doesn't really care, then continue on reading! )

They'll never get it now," Tedros grunted, holding down the floundering Storian with his foot. Tristan replaced the missing brick, sealing the pen beneath the tower's floor. They could still hear the Storian thrashing.
"Help me move the table," Tedros said, and Tristan eagerly pulled his side of the heavy stone table over the loose brick, muffling the pen. As Tedros adjusted the table, Tristan stealthily dug his boot tip into the brick, leaving a scratch mark.
"There." Tedros glowered at Sophie, Y/n and Agatha's open storybook on the table. "Let them try to write 'The End' now."

"SLAVES?" Ravan's voice echoed outside. "IF WE LOSE WE END UP AS SLAVES?"
Tedros leaned out the window and watched Everboys, Neverboys, and scores of new princes mobbing the catwalks between Aric's henchmen confronted them with clubs
"CAN'T BATER AWAY OUR LIVES IN SOME COCKAMAMIE TRIAL!" Chaddick bellowed, hurling stones uselessly at the School Master's tower.
"You promised war!" yelled a new prince, stabbing up his finger at Tedros.
"War! War! War!" boys and princes howled as they battered the henchmen back into towers.

"Look, they need you down there," Tristan offered. "You have to make it a real school again. Like the girls did." He sneaked a glance at the marked brick. "Plus you might want a nap– or a bath, even–"
"Do I smell that bad?" Tedros said, sniffing himself.
Tristan's cheeks glowed as red as his hair. "N-n-no–"
Yowls echoed below as they watched a henchmen flee from Hort, who chased him with fistfuls of flaming rat poo, hissing like a weasel. Tedros sagged, discouraged.
Suddenly the prince's eyes flared wide. "Tristan, you're right! They do need me!"

Tristan lit up with relief, practically shoving the prince towards the window– until Tedros shot his gold glow into the castle to call Aric. "But I can guard alone!" Tristan insisted.
"Let Aric do it." The prince heaved the heavy coils of blond hair off the floor and flung them out the window. "You and I have a job to do."
"A j-j-j-job?" Tristan sputtered.
"Come on." Tedros shoved him towards the rope. "We're bringing the teachers back."

Located on the first floor of Charity Tower, the girl's Supper Hall was circular like a bull ring and barely lit, crammed with glass tables of different shapes. Dot had chosen it specifically for Book Club meetings because the enchanted pots in the kitchen provided punch and sandwiches, while the Dean's butterflies stayed away, put off by the clattering plates, assaulting aromas, and overlapping conversations.

At precisely half past eight, Dot hustled down the stairs, expecting a healthy crowd after Shame: The Secret Life of Prince Charming brought in a bevy of new members the week before. Hester had mentioned a meeting with Y/n, Agatha and Sophie after supper, but Dot couldn't be bothered. With her teeth brushed, makeup retouched, and discussion questions prepared, Dot cleared her throat and grabbed the door-- only to notice a sign posted on it.

INDEFINITELY
Due to struggles with malnutrition, Ever-wannabe disorder, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Love, Dot.

Dot screeched, then she was suddenly pulled away from there by Anadil and Hester.

Melting black candles lined the wall of Evil Hall, with yellow-green flames the color of snake eyes.
