A Heart of Gold A Heart of Stone (Complete)

Chapter Fourteen

"Wow! I mean, can you believe those two arguing over Coral?" Ariel whispered. Adelaide giggled, when she first met Ariel, she denied to everyone how she wasn't a gossip like her older sister Arista, yet it was obvious Ariel liked a good gossip as much as the next princess.
"And Jack breaking Professor Porter's desk." Cinderella gasped in mock horror.
"Oh my. What was that about Professor Porter's desk?" A new voice called. The three girls turned to look at a brunette her hair placed up in a bun, her yellow dress rustling softly as she moved her feet.
"Oh, um, it got broken during home room."
The brunette sighed bitterly and shook her head.
"Oh, dear my father is hopeless."
"The professor's you're father?" Adelaide asked slightly confused. The elder girl laughed but before she could speak she was interrupted.
"Jane." Jane turned around a warm smile graced her features.
"Tarzan." The dreadlocked male smiled brightly as he wrapped his arms around her. "Tarzan. No." When the male didn't let go Jane rolled her eyes.
"If you'd excuse us."
Adelaide, Ariel and Cinderella all nodded their agreement as Jane and Tarzan wandered into Professor Porter's room.
"Well that was strange." Cinderella mused as Ariel linked arms with her.
"We have to tell the others! Come on girls."
Adelaide shook her head, she was about to walk forward when something caught her eye out the window. She looked closer and spotted Coral, she turned to Cinderella and Ariel, before waving them away.
"I'll... see you in a bit."
Ariel shrugged and dragged the blonde-haired female away.

Coral once more was skipping her classes and had found herself outside in the warm September breeze, sitting by the fountain. Her fingers dipped in the cool water. It was strange, she wasn't thinking of anything, but her magic was getting stronger and the water began to move into the shape of a pirate ship. The water flowed higher creating the masts and the flags, her magic was beautiful and inspiring, and she was proud of it.
"Jack. Oh Jack! Over here!" A voice called causing Coral's head to snap round and stare at the scene unfolding just beside the gates of the court yard.
"Tooth! What are you doing here?" Jack asked his voice a mix of confusion and happiness.
"We missed you, so I was sent here with a relief package." She smiled and even from a distance Coral could see her teeth shining brightly.
"Wow thanks, how's Sandy?" Jack took the package from the girl's hands.
"Well you know him still annoying Bunymund." Jack's laughter rang around the stone walls of the courtyard causing Coral to frown.
"What the hell? She's flirting with him." The pirate growled under her breath as she watched the two exchange words, she watched as the girl, Tooth, she recalled place her hands on Jack's arms and laughed at all his jokes, suddenly the water in the fountain began to turn black, the pirate ship dissolved, and Coral snapped her fingers back as she realized what had happened.
"Damn." She cursed under her breath, standing up quickly Coral took one last look at Jack before she headed into the school, heading away from what she just did.

Adelaide stood there shocked as she watched Coral disappear; it was strange seeing her so upset but after the incident that happened that morning, Adelaide understood well enough. She knew deep down, Coral cared not only for her but now she'd seen it, she cared about Jack a lot. Adelaide leant against the window and turned her attention to what caused Coral to be angry. This new girl. Jack laughed with her and they walked off, Adelaide frowned watching them go.
"Hey."
Adelaide jumped and squealed
"Uh..."
"Guy there!" She blushed, and Hans frowned "I mean hi there." She stammered, he chuckled.
"Hello, how are you?"
"Fine, you?"
"Good. I saw Coral storm off, she ok?"
"Why do you care?" She asked tilting her head to the side, Hans rolled his eyes, folding his arms over his chest.
"Because she's an acquaintance, and Gaston... his property." He shuddered at the thought and Adelaide smiled, before a frown formed on her face. She began to tell Hans the story of what she'd seen and her class with her the other day. Hans sighed once she had finished telling the story.
"She seemed so jealous and we all saw her and Jack in class." She said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Jealous?! HA!" Hans began to laugh causing Adelaide to frown up at him and smack him on the arm. "Reef doesn't get jealous."
"Then explain the dark stuff? That cannot be normal. She's never mentioned using magic."
"I never said Coral was normal. Oh, she didn't tell you? She uses elemental powers." Hans smirked and placed a hand on Adelaide's shoulder as her eyes widened in shock and sadness. "I'm sure Coral is fine. Don't worry about her, okay princess?"
"Why didn't she tell me she had powers? But that still doesn't explain the dark stuff I saw." She said, as he bent down closer to Adelaide causing her cheeks to flush.
"Stop worrying, she doesn't tell a lot of people about her powers... oh and you should go your friends are glaring." He chuckled as she turned her head to the side to see three unhappy students. Hans turned around.
"Bye Adelaide."
Hans walked on and spotted Facilier with Coral, who looked more than just a little angry. Hans watched for a moment,
"She doesn't get a break does she." He mused before deciding to intervene.

Adelaide jogged over to Flynn, Kristoff and Anna. The petite girl hugged Adelaide tightly before the boys began to interrogate her.
"Why were you with Hans?"
"What did he want?"
Adelaide felt her cheeks redden as the two boys folded their arms.
"He just asked about work."
Flynn scoffed.
"When does Hans do any work?"
They all began to walk back towards the rooms.
"Even Gaston works in PE." Anna giggled as the three friends bickered over work and Hans.
"Never mind all that! Kristoff, Flynn and I saw Jack walking with a girl!!" She added,
"oh my god you guys!" Rapunzel called out as she ran over ignoring Flynn. "You won't believe this! A girl is clinging onto Jack!"
Flynn coughed and placed his hands on his hips, causing Rapunzel to roll her eyes and hug him. Adelaide rolled her eyes too as she began to listen to the gossip from the princesses.
"Shhh! They're coming over!"
Jack walked up and headed towards Adelaide giving her a very unusual look, Adelaide was about to ask however he turned to the others.
"Guys, meet Tooth."
"Hey!" She smiled sweetly at them all. "Nice to meet you, Jack's friends!"

"Get away from me Facilier... I'm not in the mood for your creepiness." Coral muttered she had only just got away from the hurt she felt after seeing Jack and the darkness had only just subsided and now Facilier had showed up. He laughed at her and brushed her hair behind her ear.
"Plus, he's too close for my liking." Coral thought watching him and his toothy grin.
"Gaston wanted me to find you, Coral."
"Back off!" She warned. He chuckled and stepped closer, towering over the female causing her to fold her arms to put a distance between her and him; to try and stop herself from shivering.
"You've never liked me have you Reef? The thing is, I've always been interested in.... you."
Coral could feel a dark chill run through and around her as he spoke to her, he leant closer and she bristled. He moved his lips to her ear causing her to bite her lip hard.
"You... your body... and... your dark powers. It is..." He sniffed at her hair and she began to shake "...intriguing."
Coral gasped and pulled her hand up ready to slap him however a hand gripped her waist and pulled her back away from Facilier.
"Reef, I finally found you! Facilier thank you for finding her for me! Gaston wanted to see her. Man, I could have been in trouble! It was urgent! Hey Fal, what's going on?" Hans asked his best friend never taking his eyes of Coral and her shivering body. Facilier smiled and bowed to the young prince.
"Just asking Reef something, we should get going Gaston hates not getting his way."
Hans nodded and patted Coral's shoulder.
"I'll catch up." She muttered heading in the wrong direction. Hans nodded after her before turning away however Facilier called to her.
"Oh, and Reef, for your information; I'll give you something... Looks like Frost has found a new little girl in his life."
Coral waited for them to leave before gritting her teeth together and blasting her Earth nature powers at the nearest lamp post. She panted softly as her hands burned before she headed off unaware that she was being watched.
