Good Little Girl

Evangeline's P.O.V

The next day at school, I was feeling a little better. I sat in class next to Harvey as I slouched in my chair.

"You okay, Eva?" Harvey asked me.

"Just feeling weak."

The bell rung and Ms. Wardwell rushed in. She seemed a little jumpy and in unease. She shushed the talking filled room.

"Settle down, children. Please, I am not in the mood today for your foolish... chitter chatter," Ms. Wardwell snapped at us.

"Jeez, what's wrong with her?" Theo asked.

"Attention, students," I heard from the speaker. "This is Mrs. Meeks with an exciting announcement. Baxter High has been invited to the Final Night Festivities at the town carnival! Free admission! Free rides! Free caramel apples! Tonight only!"

Roz, Theo, Harvey, and I looked at each other. The words, final night, did not sound good to any of us.

"Final night? That can't be good," Harvey said.

"Well it was nice knowing you guys," I said.

"Eva, you're not going to die," Roz said.

"Yet," I snapped. I stared at her in shock the moment after I said that.

"I'm so sorry. I had no idea where that came from," I tell her.

"Also, will Ms. Rosalind Walker, Ms. Evangeline Crimson, Mr. Harvey Kinkle, and Mr. Theo Putnam, please report to the principal's office, to collect some fun prizes!"

We all looked at each other before grabbing our things and getting up. I held my apple in my hand as I wanted to eat it since I didn't have breakfast.

"Is now really a good time to eat, Eva?" Harvey asked me.

"I didn't eat breakfast!" I defended.

We saw the leader of the pagans walk out of the office making us stop.

"Oh, crap! Run!" Harvey said. I quickly threw my apple at the guy's face to see if I could hit him. He quickly caught it before making me frown.

"Damn," I said before we ran off to the library. We hid around to avoid getting caught.

"Theo, where's Robin?" Harvey asked.

"I don't know," Theo worriedly said.

"Guys," Roz shushed the two. I heard the doors open and footsteps.

"Children... don't be scared," The woman said.

"You're going to be part of something beautiful. Greendale will be the New Eden. The seeds of ruin and rebirth will blossom. His seeds," I heard. The part where he said, his seeds, sounded very wrong in so many ways.

"The Green Man, the oldest of the Old Gods, is returning. Only one last thing is needed for his Great Flowering to begin."

"The innocent blood of a young virgin."

My heart raced quickly. I knew I was a true blue virgin. Never had my first kiss, boyfriend, or even did it with anyone. I knew they would pick me over Harvey in a second.

"Two of you still is suitable."

I leaned against the wall, mentally begging for Caliban. I could feel tears fall down from my face as I waited to be taken. I could felt someone hold my hands making me look up. I saw Caliban standing in front of me.

"Caliban?" I whispered. Caliban held onto me before teleporting us away.

We were in a cave all of a sudden. I looked around and felt myself grow hot from the heat around us.

"Caliban? You saved me?" I asked him.

"Anything for you," Caliban told me.

"What about my friends?"

"They'll be fine."

"How did you know I was in trouble?" I questioned.

"Remember, Evangeline. You call out and I will save you," Caliban said.

"I need to get back to my friends," I said, panicking a little.

"Evangeline, I'd rather have you here than with your friends. Your life is more in danger when you're back with the mortals," Caliban explained to me.

"Why did you even save me? I thought you were in love with Sabrina," I told him.

"I love you, Evangeline. I made a mistake and I want you. I only want you as my queen. What can I do to get you to forgive me?" Caliban desperately asked. Caliban was holding my hands as he stood close to me.

"I don't know. Please send me home. Don't you need to win the challenge?" I asked.

"Actually. I'm about to. And you are still going to be my queen," Caliban told me.

"What? What do you mean?" I asked him. The last thing I saw was Caliban waving his hand in front of my face.

Caliban's P.O.V

I carried Evangeline to a hidden part in the cave before lying her down onto the floor. I walked over before disguising myself as Judas to get the thirty silver pieces. Sabrina came back which was almost time.

"Did you get them?" I asked her.

"I did. Your son nearly killed me," Sabrina told me.

"Let me feel their weight in my hand one last time," I tell her. Sabrina shrugged at me, not knowing that it would be a problem. She put the bag onto my hand making me look down at it.

"Ah. How I love when you do all the work for me," I tell her.

"What?"

I revealed my face to her, taking off the disguise. I smirked as she stared in shock and horror.

"Caliban?"

I switched places with Sabrina, trapping her in the stone. I walked over before picking up Evangeline.

"Oh no. Eva? Eva, can you hear me?" Sabrina called out to her.

"Now it's not nice to wake up my future bride."

"Caliban!"

"You knew what you had to do. Betray someone with a kiss, and yet you did not. Why is that?"

"I'm not a betrayer, unlike you!"

"Aren't you?" I questioned. "Did you not choose this quest over your family? Your friends? And while you were dashing off, collecting trinkets, I was arranging a coup. Also, getting Evangeline so once I go back, she'll be my queen."

"My father and Lilith won't let you get away with this!" Sabrina told me.

"They don't have much choice!"

I looked over to the stone hedges next to Sabrina. I had put on a glamour over the two before Sabrina gave me the silver pieces. Sabrina glanced to the sides to look at the stones.

"The House of Morningstar has fallen. All hail King Caliban. And his beautiful wife, Queen Evangeline," I said.

"No."

"Yes. Now... I have a mortal realm to conquer, a tenth circle to create, and marry Evangeline. Sorry you won't be able to make it to the wedding," I tell Sabrina. I covered her completely in stone before walking off.
