Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 5)

Ch.39 Netherworld

When Macy opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark room where she can barely see anything, realizing that she was now dreaming, she soon found the door Natalie told her about and went up to it. With the dreamcatcher necklace around her neck, she took a deep breath as she opened the door and nearly screamed when she saw that it led to a room filled with fire.

But remembering that it was the Netherworld and where she would find Olivia, she took a deep breath as she entered the room. Now inside the Netherworld, Macy shield herself from the flames as she looked around for Olivia.

"Olivia!" she called as she moved out of the way of some flames "Olivia!"

But in the fairytale world, Olivia was still sleeping against the tree when she suddenly heard someone call her name in her dream. And in her dream, she found herself in the Netherworld as she gasped and tried to shield herself from the flames.

"Olivia!" she suddenly heard someone call.

But when she looked around she saw no one.

"Olivia!" she heard it call again.

"Who's there?!" she called.

"Olivia!"

Olivia looked through the flames hoping to see someone. Macy was doing the same when she soon spotted what appeared to be Olivia on the other side of the flames.

"Olivia over here!" she called as Olivia turned to her.

"Macy?!" she gasped.

"Yes it's me!"

"But, how is this possible?!"

"We're communicating through sleep!"

"What?!"

"I don't have time to explain, but you have to listen to me! I know how you and Elena can come back!"

"How?!"

"The last magic blue bean is in the giant's castle!"

"Yeah we know, Elena and I are going with Jillian to get it, but she doesn't know where it is!"

"It's in the master bedroom on the nightstand inside of a small jewelry box!"

"A jewelry box?!"

"I know it's weird but that's where it is! You have to tell Jillian where it is!"

"Okay! Thanks Macy!"

"Good luck!"

Pretty soon Olivia was taken out of the Netherworld and woke up with a gasp.

"Olivia" Elena gasped "What's wrong?"

"Why are you sweating?" Jillian asked.

"I-" Olivia started to say "I had this dream that, I was in a room of fire and then, I saw Macy."

"You say Macy?" Elena gasped.

"Who's Macy?" Jillian asked.

"Briar" Elena said as she turned to Olivia "What happened?"

"She told me that we were communicating through sleep, and that she told me where the last magic blue bean is in the giant's castle."

"She did?" Jillian gasped "Well where is it?"

"It's in the master bedroom on top of a nightstand and inside a jewelry box."

"Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot about that room. Okay we need to get that bean."

"On it" Elena said as she and Olivia stood up.

But as they started walking, Elena noticed something on Olivia's arm.

"Olivia" she stopped her as she held up her arm "Are those burn marks?"

Olivia looked and saw that there were burns on her arm.

"Whoa" she gasped "I didn't realize that."

"Were they from your dream when you were in that fire room?"

"I- I don't know."

"Well don't worry I got this."

Elena then waved her hand over the burns as they all disappeared.

"There" she smiled.

"Thanks" Olivia smiled.

"You guys coming?" Jillian asked.

"Oh right" they said as they followed her.

Now in the throne room, Crystal sat in her throne while looking into a hand mirror as she admired her snowflake necklace and ring that she was wearing. She continued to look at herself just as Noelle came up to her with the urn in her hands.

"Hey Noelle" Crystal said "Hey I need your opinion, should I wear the necklace with my ring or without the ring?"

But Noelle just gave her a frown.

"Typical Crystal" she frowned "Always so prissy, 'Do I look good in this? Should I wear it with this?' It doesn't matter, you look like crap every time."

"Excuse me?" Crystal said offended.

"Do you honestly think that you would be a great snow queen? You can't even tie your damn boots. I know a lot more than you Crystal, and yet everyone can't wait for you to be queen. What do they see in you anyway? Well you know what I see? I see a pathetic, worthless princess who doesn't deserve the throne, I don't understand why they love you the most."

"Noelle what are you talking about?"

"Do you know what it's like to be the runt of the family? The only one who can't control her powers? While the rest of you are all having fun with your powers, I have to hide from everyone, I have to wear this stupid gloves all just so I wont hurt anyone. And it's a little too late for that with Jackson, I told you it was an accident, and yet you called me a monster and trapped me in that urn, you know how that felt? It hurt!"

"Noelle I'm sorry" Crystal said as she started to get nervous.

"No you're not, I saw it in your eyes, you were afraid of me, you said you would never be afraid of me. You said that I wasn't a monster, and yet you called me a monster. You even erased everyone's memories of me, just so you can get rid of your pain and run the kingdom yourself."

"That's not true" Crystal said as she started to feel her eyes water.

"You're also a really bad liar you know that? You lied to me, you said you would always be there for me, and you weren't! I begged you to help me, but instead you put me in this damn urn. I don't understand why Jackson even fell for you, you're such a mistake, you don't even deserve this piece of crap."

And with that Noelle pulled off Crystal's snowflake necklace and threw it across the floor.

"Noelle!" Crystal gasped "What has gotten into you?!"

"You always said we had to be honest with each other, well now I'm being honest. All my live I've lived in fear of hurting people, and you were always there for me. But after this one accident, you abandoned me and kept me in this prison. And now, I think it's time for you to get a taste of my suffering!"

And with that she opened the urn and aimed it towards Crystal.

"Noelle!" Crystal gasped as she felt herself being sucked into the urn while she continued to look at Noelle with shock.

As soon as she was in, Noelle closed the lid tight. She had did it, she had gotten rid of her sister.
