Chapter 48: Boyish Mission

(Just so people know, the next chapters for a while won't be in Agatha's and Sophie's pov's. That's cuz barely anything will change in them at all, like to the point it isn't even worth it, and I don't feel like I have the energy to write it then, cuz school is starting to tire me out a little, haha.)

"Never thought I'd have a prince as a best friend," Hort motormouthed, hustling through Evil's sewers.
"Where are we going?" Y/n said, voice echoing over the red mud roiling through the dark tunnels. She walked behind him on the thin path in sleeveless black-and-red leather uniform, bumping her shoulders into the wall, still unused to all the extra weight. In the shiny mud, she caught a glimpse of her fluffy h/c hair, her chiseled jaw, her added muscles, and she turned her eyes.

"Well, I tried to make them bunk us together, but they have already put a prince from Ginnymill in my room," Hort said, peeping back at the new boy. "School's strict now that the teachers are back if you ask me, Aric and his henchmen make those old wolves look cuddly. But don't worry. I'll keep my best friend out of trouble."
"That's very nice of you Hort, but I'm sure I can manage to keep myself out of trouble, I hope at least," Y/n said with a chuckle. "But it's a shame we couldn't share a room, I would have loved to get to know you better."
"Really?" Hort asked, his cheeks a little red. "Nobody has ever said that to me."
"Well, everybody else has to be pretty boring then," Y/n said. "You seem like a nice guy to me."

Before Hort could even answer, another voice broke in.
"Where is it!" Manely's voice boomed ahead.
"I showed you where I buried it," Tedros' voice insisted–
"And it's not there. As long as you keep lying, there'll continue to be no food."
"It's those two girls! They're hiding in the castle!"
"Think we wouldn't know if a girl was in our castle?" Manely's voice sneered. "That pen is still somewhere in the School Master's tower, or the tower would have moved to follow it. Now tell me where you hid it, or I'll melt your father's sword and gild the toilets with it. Might kill that blasted bird too, need more food in the kitchen--"
"I told you! It was buried under the table!"

Y/n's heart stopped. The Storian... missing? How would she get the Storian now?
Suddenly, placing first in the day's challenges was even more crucial, she thought, panicked. If the pen was hidden in that tower. She'd need time to find it. Stomach churning, she followed behind Hort, skirting the sewer wall as it turned to the rusted grating of a pitch-dark dungeon cell. In the corner, Manley's bald head and bulbous shadow obscured the figure beneath him.

"Please, professor, you have to let me into the Trial," Tedros' voice begged. "I'm the only one who can beat those girls. I'm the only one who can save Y/n!"
"You'll die of starvation long before the Trial if we don't find that pen," Manley said, turning for the cell door. He saw the new boy gaping at him through the grating. "Boys don't like liars, Filip. Tedros promises the boy's he'll kiss Y/n. Promises he'll fix the schools to Good and Evil. And what do they get instead? A chance at slavery. Ain't it a wonder all the boys hate him now," Manley sneered, pulling the door open. He shoved the new boy into the cell as he left. "Whole school's on your side today, Filip. Teach this puffed-up cockerel a lesson."
Y/n swiveled. "Huh?"
Hort slammed the cell door. "See you in class, Filip!"
"I– uh– see you?" Y/n said, not really processing everything as it happened so quickly. But the black haired boy and the teacher had already left, Hort chattering with excitement.
"He'll beat Tedros so badly today, professor. You'll see..."

Y/n blinked and turned to the rotted dungeon lit by a single candle. A chilling collection of torture instruments hung on the walls in steel cages, over two metal bed frames without mattresses or pillows. She couldn't breathe, thinking of what had happened here a year ago between Sophie and the Beast. The place where Sophie became truly Evil. She remembered the beast's corpse. Then she remembered the scars on her chest–
