Princess of Villainy

Unusual Punishment!

This is the story of that beginning. I suppose I should tell you all I know. My name is Eve Duskstone one of the strongest witches of the light.

I was approached by the one known as Chernabog, a being of pure villainy.

He came before me, and said I was chosen to be the mother of his own flesh and blood, to save Twisted Wonderland.

Chernette had been at the college for a few days now, and had learned to adjust well.

In between the days, Crowley would make a visit to help her learn about heratige and powers.

So far, in addition to her dark magic, she could conjure fire which only she could put out, not even the strongest water magic could put it out.

Practicing with Grim and his fire magic helped as well.

Anyway, her dad was somewhere in Twisted Wonderland, but she has to meet him on the night of the Witches Sabbath. That day had already passed and she had to wait for next year.

But that wouldn't be the case....

Chernette had been sleeping in her bed, but she drifted into a dream...

She was in some kind of Bush Maze and hearing some voices. She then saw some cards? that were alive and painting all the roses in the garden.

Then a girl in a blue dress asked them why they were painting the roses red,  and the cards told her that the queen loves red roses, and if she sees any that are white, it would be off with their heads!

'Wait, mother told me of this story. This is the one of the Queen of Hearts! Isn't the dorm based on her Heartslabyul?' Chernette thought as the dream ended.

Suddenly, Chernette was woken up in the middle of the night by a loud knock at the door.

"Who could that be at this hour?" Chernette said in her pjs as she went to open the door.

It was Ace, her classmate. And he was wearing some kind of red and black collar on him.

"What's the collar for?" Grim asked.

"Cause I left Heartslabyul. I'm gonna be a member of this dorm from here on!" He said out of the blue.

"Why is that? And why are you wearing that on your neck?" Chernette asked.

"Because I ate a tart."

This earned him a confused look from the two.

"That's it?" Chernette asked, eyebrow raised.

"Exactly! Only that! I got hungry, so I went to the dorm's kitchen. The tart was just sittin' right there inside the fridge. And like, three whole ones! That's why..." Ace began to explain as he described the prefect coming along and putting the collar on him.

" And that's what happened..."

The two Ramshackle residents were silent for a while...then...

"You were mostly in the wrong too."

"But ain't it overreacting to seal my magic just 'cause I ate his tart?! It's like tying my hands and my feet! Plus, there were three whole ones! He can't possibly finish all of those! There's a limit to how heartless he can be!" Ace complained.

"Well, it may have been a little too overboard..." Celeste strained out.

"Right?!" Ace asked.

" Ah! Wait a second... If there were three whole tarts, they might've been prepared for a party, yanno? Like for someone's birthday? Man, I'm such a great detective, huh!" Grim suggested.

"Birthday?" Ace questioned.

"If that's the case, then it's no wonder he's mad. Did you apologize for it though?" Chernette asked.

" Uh... I came here thinking that you'd agree with me about the Prefect being a little tyrant, Cher..."

"I get that he's kinda a tyrant, but... Eating someone else's food is not good, you know?" Chernette said.

"I agree. You're also at fault for eatin' his food." Grim added.

"I think you should apologize to him tomorrow, okay? I'm sure he'll forgive you if you apologize."

"Grudges over food are scary." Grim nodded.

"(sighs) I get it. I just have to apologize, right? You suggested it, so you better come with me." Ace pointed out

"Sure." Chernette smiled.

"In the meantime, where can I sleep?" Ace said quickly changing the subject while hiding his blush.

"You're serious about stayin' the night?" Grim said exasperated.

"Chernette~ Let me stay in your room~ I'm a pretty handy guy so I won't take up much room! Please~?" Ace asked coyly.

"Sorry, but I'll have to decline." Chernette said as she let him take one of the other rooms nearby. 'Sides if dad found out, hell will break loose. Literally.' She thought.

The next morning Chernette had to get Ace and Grim up early so Ace could apologize to Riddle when a knock was at the door.

"What the, who the hell's pounding on the door so early?"

Ace opened up the door to see Deuce.

[LOCATION: Ramshackle Dorm – Foyer]

"I knew I'd find you here."

"D-Deuce..."

" I heard about the situation from our dormmates. You ate Prefect Riddle's tart, so now you've got that collar on, haven't you?" He frowned as Ace nodded his head.

" You're an outright idiot." Deuce said bluntly.

"Shut it! I don't wanna hear that from you! So... Is the Prefect still mad at me...?" Ace asked looking nervous.

"Not completely. He's in an irritated mood and about three people who didn't follow the waking up routine suffered the same fate as you." Deuce said.

""Not completely," my ass! He's totally mad!" Ace yelled.

"Looks like you two are lively enough to get going." Chernette said as she got her stuff dressed in her white and black uniform. "Let's go to Riddle. The sooner, the better."
