Good and Evil Together

Chaos & Anger

Lady Lesso POV: 

The entire faculty lines up between the entrances where the students were eating lunch.

"ATTENTION!" Castor thundered.

Clarissa steps forward to talk. "There's been some-"

"MOVE YOUR HINDS, YOU LAZY COWS!" Castor barked at the Never students coming through the tunnel.

Clarissa opens her mouth to speak again.

"PRESENTING CLARISSA DOVEY, DEAN OF THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF GOOD DEEDS," says Castor.

"Thank you, Castor," Clarissa says.

"ANY INTERRUPTION OR MISBEHAVIOR WILL BE SWIFTLY PUNISHED-"

"THANK YOU, CASTOR." Clarissa shrieked. For the better too, Castor would have gone on forever, threatening the students.

Clarissa continues to speak. "Students, we have called you here because there have been some unfortunate rumors-"

"Lies, as I call them." I interrupt. Clarissa gave me a look, but I couldn't help myself.

"So let's be clear," She says, "First, there is no curse on Evil, Evil has the power to defeat Good."

"Provided Evil does their homework!" Bilious Manley growls.

"Second, the School Masters is on no one's side," Clarissa goes on.

Nevers start to shout. I expected this. Who would believe it when Evil has a two hundred year losing streak. I halted in my thoughts. I had argued with Clarissa about this earlier, but she had been right. The School Master couldn't control the Storian. I felt my face burn with embarrassment, but I quickly hid it in a bitter look..

"Last but not least," Clarissa says, snapping me out of my thoughts. "The School Master's primary responsibility is to protect the Storian. For that reason, he remains in his well-fortressed tower. Thus, regardless of the tales you may hear, let me assure you: no student has ever seen the school master and never will."

I follow the students' gaze. They stared at the Ever Reader, the one with a helmet of hair and big brown eyes.

"Ah, is this the storyteller?" I sneer.

"It's not a story!" She shot back.

I smile mischievously. "I'll give you one more chance to redeem yourself. Did you meet the School Master." I ask, staring at Agatha.

"Yes." she says.

My anger takes over. "You lie to a teacher!" I lash. I felt pain on my ankle. Behind me, Clarissa had kicked me to restrain me from taking my anger out on Agatha.

"It's not a lie!" Sophie shouts.

I turn to Sophie.

"We were both there! We were in his tower!" She claims.

"And I bet you saw the storian too?" An Evergirl sneered.

"Matter of fact we did!" Sophie retorts.

"And did it start your fairytale too?" The girl asks.

"It did!" Sophie exclaims

The Letter. It said that the Storian started a tale. An unexpected tale.

Soon fights broke out. Two everboys looking the same pulled out their swords and started fighting. Girls chased Agatha up a tree and started throwing pebbles at her. Hort and Sophie chased each other. The teachers stood there, our voices not being strong enough to control the chaos. Sophie threw a branch, Hort ducked and I saw it coming in my direction. I tried to light my finger, but the branch was too fast. It hit the left side of my face. Everyone froze, all staring at me. I touched my cheek where the branch had it, and saw the blood on my hand.

Stay calm. Stay calm. I think to myself.

"Lock her in her tower!" I order pointing at Agatha.

A swarm of fairies drag her away.

"And this one." I say pointing my blood covered finger at Sophie. "To the Doom Room."

The rest of the students looked petrified. Even if I managed to not lash out, I can't control all of my anger.

As Agatha was being taken away she yells, "Professor Sader! You have to believe us! The Storian thinks Sophie's a villain! It's going to kill her!"

All the teachers whip around, looking shocked and alarmed.

"How do you see our village? How do we get home? What does a princess have that a villain doesn't?" Asks Agatha as fairies wrestle her away.

"Questions. Always in threes," Sader says amused.

Teachers chuckle, and disperse talking to each other along the way. But I can't seem to laugh it off like the others do. because the Tale might be about Sophie and Agatha.
