Cinder •Randall Carpio•

Chapter Two

Daisy sat at end of the stage, feet dangling. The theatre was empty and she was out looking toward the invisible audience.

If there was one thing Belgrave did the best at, it was their theatre. It was gorgeous. The red and gold accents made her heart swoon. The way she could easily glide on the stage like air made her feel free.

She usually came here to think. It was her happy place.

Cinder liked it too. Oddly enough.

Cinder.

That hide has helped her in more ways than one. She was more confident now, like she could conquer anything.

Just as she was about slip down from the stage, her phone buzzed. Her hand subconsciously went and reached for it, reading the message on the screen.

Message incoming from: Princess Duke 👸🏻

Princess Duke👸🏻: Get to the Den. Hurry.

Ah yes, the very cryptic message that makes both Daisy and Cinders heart burn. What was wrong that was so urgent? She didn't know nor did she care. She just knew she had to hurry.

By the time she got home, she swung the doors open frantically.

"Guys?" She exclaimed, pushing her glasses up her nose.

"Over here!"

She speed-walked to the sound of Randall's voice, eyes landing on Him, Hamish Duke, and Lilith Bathory...And Jack??

Her eyes widened when she saw the boys body laying down, blood on his hands and face, and very thankful when she saw the blanket covering his lower half.

She walked closer, standing next to Hamish, "What the fuck happened?"

"What Does it look like, Daisy?" Lilith sniped. "He went on merry go round?"

"Hardy har har." Daisy quipped, looking between the the three. "What the hell did I miss?"

"He got silverback!" Randall announced, excitedly. "He's one of us, now!"

"Hey," Hamish said defensively, putting his hand out to put the Carpio boy at ease. "We don't know that ye-"

"Ughh" A groan was heard. The four looked down to see the newly werewolf-ed student waking up.

"Hey!" Randall said, snapping his fingers. "Pssst! Wake up"

Jack groaned again, shaking his head slightly as he adjusted to the light of the room, coming face to face with the four in front of him.

The Brunette looked around as he got up, eyes widening when he saw he only had a blanket wrapped around him.

"W-why am I naked?" He questioned. "Where are my clothes?"

Daisy was very tempted to say something but Randall beat her to it, quickly handing Jack a pair of clothes.

"They got ruined when you ripped out of them." He explained, as jack took the clothes from his grip with a skeptical look. "You'll get used to it."

"Used to what?" He asked, looking up at the other three. "Who are you people?"

Randall moved closer, "Dude, It's me, Randall." He spoke. "I'm your RA...and That's Daisy, the girl I intro-"

"I know that-" Jack cut him off. "I meant them." He indicated toward Hamish and Lilith.

Daisy stepped forward a bit, "this is Hamish and Lilith." She answered softly, pointing to each as she introduced them.
