Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 11


[Mayumi Villanueva]

 I watched as Arthur Kirkland fought with Francis Bonnefoy.

Arthur was wearing his usual cotton tan vest and white button-up shirt. His royal blue tie was tucked under his tan vest, which matched his royal blue dress pants. His blond hair was as messy as ever, his emerald shade of eyes shone in anger.

Francis Bonnefoy was wearing a similar to Arthur’s, with the vest replaced by a buttoned blue suit jacket. His shoulder length wavy hair was tied with a royal blue ribbon, his violet eyes shining with malice and arrogance.

This was a daily occurrence.

I then eyed a couple over near the bookshelves. Alfred Jones and Kate Williams.

Kate was sitting in one of the Chaise lounge, trying to read a book that was placed on her lap. Her long blond hair reached her waist and tied in two low ponytails, her bangs held in place by various red hair clips. She was blushing red and tried not to faint, as she was very shy and faint-hearted. She wore a red plaid skirt that reached from above her waist to mid-thigh, red suspenders with several various hair clips. She wore a long sleeve white button up under that, her black tie matching her black shoes.

Alfred was wearing something like Francis, his suit jacket un-buttoned. He had messy blond hair, but not as messy as Arthur’s, and wire-rimmed glasses over his blue-violet eyes. He hovered behind Kate, trying to hold a conversation with the blushing and stuttering Canadian girl.

I giggled at this. It was so obvious that Alfred liked the girl and vice versa.

I directed my attention to the two girls at the window sill.

Leilani Jones and Alyssa Jones wore similar outfits.

Alyssa Jones wore a red plaid skirt that reached from above her waist to mid-thigh, red suspenders included with several buttons with different logos. She wore a shoulder length white button up under that, her black tie matching her black shoes. She wore knee-high socks and a red ribbon in her light brown hair. Her light brown eyes filled with concern as she looked at her sister.

Leilani Jones wore the same thing, her sleeves a few inches longer and her suspenders free of anything. She had a black band covering part of her forearm. She wore a red hibiscus near the base of her ponytail, her black hair reaching mid-back. She sat on the window sill, her back resting on the window pane, as she looked out at the gloomy bleak and dreary scenery outside. She seemed to have a forlorn look in her dark blue eyes, she seemed to be missing someone.

“Dia Duit! What are you doin’, cailín?” I heard a familiar British accented voice call.

I chuckled “My name isn’t cailín, Andrea” I replied.

She shrugged “Eh? So?”

I giggled at this as my sister, Malaya Villanueva, shook her head.

Andrea O’Connor hated the uniforms we were forced to wear and wore a mixture of the girl and the boy uniforms, which aggravated her brother who was Arthur. She wore a completely black skirt that ended mid-thigh and a white button up. She then wore a blue suit jacket, claiming to hate the girl version which was pink (I tell her it comes in red, but she never seems to listen). For footwear, she wore knee-highs and blue converse with black splatters. For her hair, she wore her usual waist long orange hair in a high pony tail, her bangs out of the way with the help of a clip on the top of her head.

My sister, older than me by a few months, wore something similar. But she was lacking the suit jacket and she wore black suspenders, which was free of anything. Her hair was in an intricate French braid, done by Francis of course. She wore black combat boots and under her skirt, she wore black leggings.

I wore a simple outfit. The red plaid skirt, without suspenders, and the shoulder-length white button up with the vest. I then had red elbow-length fingerless gloves on. Then came my black knee-high converse. I wore a chain on one side of my skirt, the chain reaching a bit below my skirt.

I looked at my sister once again as she held up her whiteboard, on it scribbled ‘You guys are weird’

I just laughed. My sister was scared of talking because she’s scared of saying the wrong things. I mean, she could write the wrong things too. But I didn’t tell want to tell her that.

Andrea looked at me suspiciously “You thinkin’ of the Italian, eh?”   

A pink hue started to appear on my face “Wh-What Italian?”

My sister chuckled and Andrea smirked “Your boyfriend of course!”

“He is not my boyfriend!” I playfully hit Andrea’s shoulder. I then silently added “Although I wish he was”

My sister giggled as Andrea pointed at me accusingly “You jus’ said ‘Although I wish he was!’”

“Although I wish he was here! That’s what I meant!” I cried.

Suddenly the door slammed open, gaining everyone’s attention.

“Ah! Grande Fratello! Li ho trovati!”

I immediately look at my sister, who was blushing and grinning like and idiot.

Suddenly, Romano appeared beside his brother “Oi! Non si può semplicemente scoppiato in una stanza, idiota!”

My heart seemed to stop.

He looked at me and I gave a slight smile. He just huffed and he looked away, calling for someone down the hallway.

I guess we were still fighting.

Gilbert, Ludwig, Kiku, Feli, Roma, Antonio, and a girl I’ve never met came in the room. The new girl seemed to stick near Gilbert more, seemingly shy. But she also seemed to be debating on if she should stick to Gilbert or Romano, since she kept on looking back and forth.

Maybe it was Alfred’s chainsaw?

Wait, did I mention Alfred had a chainsaw?

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 10

[Isabella de la Cruz]

 “So where are we going to now? You found the Puella and all, so?” I asked, munching on a piece of a pancake
“Vell, now ve have to find more Quadrigis members, Ja?” Gilbert answered in a ‘well-duh’ voice, his mouth full of... pancake?
I nodded and took another bite of the pancake “Where are we going to find other creatures though?”
Gilbert and Toni seemed to have an idea, their eyes widening
“Francis Bonnefoy!” The duo said in unison
“Who?” I wondered out loud
“Ja. Francis is zeir friend. Zey alvays make trouble togezer” Ludwig sighed.
“Ja! Ja! Francis is avesome!” Gilbert added but then muttered “But not as avesome as me...”
I sighed. I tried to fathom how much trouble they might make.  We needed more members...
“How many more members to we need anyway?”
Feli started counting with his fingers. After a long pause he answered “Ve~! I think it’s-a 6?”
Roma hit him upside the head “Ventiquattro togliere sette è sei? Sei stupido?”
I giggled. Roma was right though! What he said, loosely translated, was ‘twenty-four take away seven is six? Are you stupid?’
Roma huffed, a small blush covering his cheeks “So we need-a 17 more members for our-a Quadrigis...”
I nodded for the hundreth time that day “How many creatures are with this Francis dude?”
Kiku’s eyes widened this time “Arfred and Arthur are with him, that I know of that is...”
“And?”
Feli and Roma looked up at the same time and uttered in unison “There’s-a also that-a Canadian”
I quirked an eyebrow “A Canadian?”
Roma nodded “Sí! A Canadian and his-a sister”
“I-a think her name’s-a Kate Williams?” Feli added, trying to be helpful
I tilted my head to the side “And the guy’s name?”
Feli and Roma shrugged
“Of course you remember the girl’s name! But you don’t remember the guy’s?”
“There is arso Reirani Jones and Aryssa Jones, Arfred’s sisters!” Kiku interjected
I huffed “And you don’t remember the GUY’S name?”
“Ah! It vas Matzew Villiams!” Gilbert blurted
“Matthew Williams?”
He nodded “I remember now because I alvays mistook him for his step-bruder...” He sighed “I hated zat bastard Alfred!”
“Und zere is Arzur’s step-sister, Andrea O’Connor” Ludwig mentioned
I nodded, again for the hundreth time that day
“So Francis Bonnefoy, Arthur Kirkland, Andrea O’Connor, Alfred Jones, Leilani Jones, Alyssa
Jones, Matthew Williams and Kate Williams” I counted all the names out loud “8”
Then Roma blurted “There’s-a Mayumi!”
“Sí! And Malaya too!” Feli nodded
I furrowed my eyebrows “That’s 10”
“Zat leaves 7 people left!” Gilbert rejoiced “So... Ve are going to go get Francis, right?”
Ludwig hesitantly nodded. Gilbert and Toni hi-fived
“Immature Morons” Roma muttered. I giggled.
Meeting adjourned!

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 9

[Isabella de la Cruz]

I thought about what might happen, the consequences, when I opened my eyes.
1. All of it might not be real
2. I’m crazy
3. I’m not dreaming and it was all real
4. I hallucinated all of it
2 and 4 was a bit frightening. I was shooting for 3 though, even if I was sharing the bed with someone. I’d just whack ‘em in the head. 1 didn’t want one either, but it was still better than 2 and 4.
I hesitantly opened my eyes and, seeing all white, I panicked.
I was about to jump out of bed when a voice startled me “Guten Morgen, Lieben”
I looked up and my eyes met red ones, a smirk plastered on his face like always.
I tried to push him off the bed.
Almost.
When I tried to, he just stayed put while it backfired on me.
He chuckled as I fell and I blindly threw a pillow at him from the floor.
“Miss, Lieben” The smirk apparent in his voice.
I sat up and rested my chin on the bed “Did everything that...?”
Gilbert nodded “Ja, vouldn’t be here if it didn’t.”
I nodded “So I’m really...?”
“Ja, Just accept it already, jeez...” Gilbert shrugged
“I guess I should...”
“So you do?”
I nodded as he smirked once more “Brav! Und Bruder said I couldn’t convince you...”
I quirked an eyebrow up “Wha...?”
As if on cue everyone came in the door, including Ludwig who had an angry look in his face and Roma who was also peeved.
“Vhat’s viz all ze racket?” Ludwig inquired
Feli pouted as he also complained “Sí! Mio Fratello and I were-a having a siesta!”
Roma sighed but nodded as well.
I pointed at Gilbert, accusing him of the crime “It was all him!”
Gilbert gaped at me “Wha-! Nein! She vas ze one zat fell of ze bed!”
“He pushed me!”
“Nein! Hell no! I did not!”
“And he woke me up too!”
“NEIN! VHAT ZE HELL?”
Antonio started chuckling and so did Feli and I started too, soon everyone was LMAO-ing. Even
Ludwig had on a small smile and Roma was grinning.
I guess it was pretty hilarious.

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 8

[Gilbert Beillshmidt]

I chuckled as I watched Isabella stomp out of the room, her cheeks a bright red.
“Mi amigo! How come you like teasing de señorita?” Toni raised an eyebrow.
“It’s just fun, ya’ know?” I answered, placing myself on the floor right by him.
“I dink jou like de señorita!” He exclaimed.
“Hell no! Nein!” I denied
Toni shook his head at me “Jou do! Jou do! I can totally tell! Jou like de señorita! Jou love her!” He teased “Hay amor en el aire!”
I knew that last statement meant ‘Love is in the air’ in Spanish. He’s said it before. “You said zat about Andrea O’ Connor! Und Leilani Jones, Alfred’s sister! Und about Maya Auerbach! Und Angela Fernandes—”
“I didn’t say dat about Angela! Ella es mía!”
I nodded, rolling my eyes “Fein! How about Malaya Villanueva und her sister Mayumi?”
“I would never say dat either! Romano is crushing on Mayumi and Feliciano is trying to woo Malaya!”
I nodded “ Zere is still Andrea O’ Connor, Leilani Jones und Maya Auerbach!”
Toni shook his head. He then evaluated the facts. Andrea O’ Connor was in love with Arthur Kirkland and vice versa. Kiku had asked Toni about Leilani Jones, who she liked and that kind of stuff, so basically Kiku loved her. Maya Auerbach was, even though she claims to hate him, in  love with my brother and vice versa too. Both me and Toni knew that!
Toni claims to have never said anything I accused him of saying.
“Fein! Fein! You never said any of ze zings I accused! But I still don’t like her zat way!” I dissagreed.
Toni, shaking his head, muttering “¡Sí! ¡Sí! Lo que tú digas!”
I smirked.
Then my Brother muttered something “Ve all zink zat you’re in love viz her, by ze vay...”
I groaned “Zat’s Dumm! I do not! How many times do I have to say zat?!”
“Sono d'accordo con idiota...” Romano muttered loud enough for all of us to hear. I just presumed that he agreed with me
Feliciano just chirped “No! No! It’s-a so obvious!”
Everyone nodded, even Kiku.
“Gah! I am not in love viz zat Puella! She is ze Puella!”
Toni patted my back “Jou keep telling jourself dat...”

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 7

[Isabella de la Cruz]

I grinned before a thought crossed my head and my grin slowly disappeared “Why are you all telling me this? I’m just a Mundane girl...!”
Gilbert chuckled as everyone else had a look of confusion cross their faces.
“She doesn’t know yet” Gilbert simply stated.  A mix of relief and realization swept through the room, excluding Roma and Feli.
I was even more confused “W-What?”
Roma then shook his head “Didn’t your Nonna teach you anything, amore?”
I shook my head “I only found out all of this because of you guys...”
Even more confusion appeared on Roma’s face.
“But, bella signora, your Nonna is supposed to-a teach you stuff like that!” Feli whined
“My Nonna, Gramama, didn’t teach me anything other than where to go if the quadruple Ouroboros came, the four snakes eating each others tails...! That and the fact that Lower Earth, Middle Earth and Upper Earth existed!” I defended my Gramama
“Bruder! Habt ihr Großmutter wissen?” Ludwig then asked his brother.
Gilbert shook his head, a small frown appearing on his face “Nein ... Ihre Großmutter nicht wusste! Ich dachte immer, sie dachte, ich wäre eine Katze”
They were talking about my a Gramama, that was all I could understand. Something about Gilbert being a cat and if Gramama knew something, I didn’t understand German as well as Italian.
“What the hell are you-a saying!? We deserve to know, don’t we!? Look how-a worried you made the bella signora!” Roma pointed out.
I didn’t even realize that I looked so worried till Gilbert said ‘Es tut mir leid’ which was German for I‘m sorry.
“Nah! It’s okay! If you’re talking in German that means you don’t want us to know! I get that you guys need privacy! It’s alright!” I shrugged it off.
Gilbert’s smirk quickly settled back in place as I was talking. I saw that as a positive thing, since that smirk is one of the things that makes Gilbert, well, Gilbert!
“¡Sí! I agree with Isabella! If you need privacy, go right ahead and talk German!” Antonio agreed
Kiku made a small nod and Feli uttered a ‘Sí!’, meaning they agreed. Roma just looked away from us, his blush deepening in shade.
Gilbert looked at his brother then shook his head “Nein, you guys have ze right to know vhat ve are talking about.” Then he looked at me, smirking, and continued “Especially you, Lieben, since we are talking about your Großmutter!”
I nodded.
“Vell, Ve vere just talking about how veird it vas zat Isabella’s Großmutter didn’t know zat mein Bruder vas a Canale Taberus, much less a creature. She vas supposed to. Und it’s also veird zat she didn’t tell you vat you are...” Ludwig explained
I was just more confused “What am I then...?”
Gilbert smirked “Ze Puella, Regina Puella”
I shook my head rapidly “I can’t be anything other than a normal Mundane being! I have nothing extraordinary about me!”
“That’s-a because you don’t have-a the Aurea with you!” Roma corrected
I shook my head and opened my mouth to say something but Gilbert interrupted me “You are ze Regina Puella und I have proof.”
I looked at him expectantly.
“You’ve vished on a vishing star und ze next day it came true.”
“That’s stupid!”
“Ze vishing star vas a painted star on your old room vall.” Gilbert smirked
I shook my head “So!? Does the Puella have the power to grant wishes!?”
Everyone muttered yes in their language all in unison.
“Then why didn’t it work a few hours ago, when I was wishing for Gramama to come down into the Asylum?!” I countered
“You’re missing your Aurea.” Gilbert’s smirked visibly grew.
I looked at everyone “Aurea...?” My voice slowly dissipated towards the end of the statement and
became more of a question instead of a regular statement.
“Sí! Sí! A beautiful necklace-a made of enchanted gold and-a charmed silver! E 'davvero bella!” Feli chirped, his last sentence being ‘It’s really pretty’ in Italian.
I nodded, less confused and a tad bit more comfortable “What does it exactly do? And why do I need it?”
Antonio cleared his throat, attracting our attention. He then clarified that the Aurea was the only thing of it’s kind and that it could grant any wish and become anything you want it to become. The catch was that only my species, the Puella, could manipulate it.
Antonio’s accent was very funny seeing as he couldn’t say the letter ‘y’ and said ‘j’ instead. Same with the letters ‘th’. He pronounced it as ‘d’
It seemed reasonable, but there was another catch
“Jou are de only Puella left, seeing as dere is only one Puella every cinco o seis generations...” Antonio stated casually. ‘cinco o seis’ meaning five or six in Spanish.
I shook my head rapidly before resting my face in my palms, my elbows resting on my legs.
I tried to take it all in. The accents, the creatures, the information, the changes it was going to bring.
Everything they just told me.
“Lieben...” I heard a voice next to my ear, a hand on my shoulder. Gilbert’s probably trying to comfort me.
It wasn’t working
“You suck at trying to make people feel better...” I mumbled into my hands as everyone chuckled, probably excluding Ludwig.
I then fell back onto my back, my hands spreading to my sides “Can I try to grasp this overnight?”
Everyone droned out a small yes or a sure in their own language.
I smiled a little before getting up and heading to the door “You guys decide the lodging!” Then I paused and added, sarcastically “But I get first pick, since I am the ‘Puella’!”
I almost got to the other side of the door when Ludwig stopped me “Gilbert has to sleep vith you zough!”
I peeked back into the room, my cheeks probably red “Wh-Wh-What?!”
“Vhat Bruder meant vas zat I have to sleep in ze same room as you.” Gilbert shrugged, as if it happened to him all the time.
I groaned “Why?!”
“Safety reasons, I guess.” He smirked even more.
“Fine!” I whined before stomping off.
‘I will find a way to NOT share a room with him’ I thought as I felt my face heat up even more.

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 6

[Isabella de la Cruz]
 “So...” I trailed off then quickly added “You guys haven’t told me what species you are!”

Gilbert was about to say something when I quickly added “And it would be very unfair if you made me guess! Because I don’t know much about species...”

Roma then sighed “I’m-a Vespertilionem, amore.”

I blushed. What did ‘amore’ mean!?

“Eh? Really?” I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion, looking at Roma. I only knew that Vespertillionem were Catholics and Christians.

He must have seen my confused face because he evaluated “Vampires  are-a Mundane versions of my specie...” He tried to explain, a dust of pink appearing over his face. He couldn’t seem to find the
right words “The special things about Vesper are... They can-a turn into bats and shadows, they can control shadows, they are-a very talented in potion making, as well as-a cooking, and they have a knack of-a imitating voices...” then Roma added “The Tomato-bastard, Antonio, is a Vespertilionem too”

I was astounded! Vespertilionem were cool! And his nickname for Antonio is funny...

 “So... Gilbert and Ludwig! What specie are you guys?” I casually asked.

“Ve are Canale Taberus!” Gilbert smirked.

“Canale Taberus aren’t really zat special...” Ludwig mumbled then added “But ve have very fast
agility and ve can turn into cats, as you’ve already experienced...”

I saw Gilbert’s smirk widen at the statement. I just rolled my eyes.

I then looked at Kiku.

“I am a Pretium Volpes” Kiku simply stated, his face completely neutral. “I can control shadows and
preform certain sperrs”

“What about you Feli?” I inquired

“Ve~! I'm-a Lupinotuum, bella! Lupinotuum are really cool! They’re like-a werewolves, but we completely turn into wolves! Not half-wolf half-man people!” Feli cheered. He seemed proud of his specie

But Roma seemed to have a hatred to his brother and ruined his parade “Don’t forget the fact that your species are also cowardly and stupid... And with the fact that your specie is only strong when not necessary, like with hugs and high-fives...” He grumbled

Feli’s cheerful and happy demeanor seemed to vanish completely and he started crying
“VE~! Fratello! Non dire così! Sei così dire! Si suppone che tu sia mio fratello maggiore!” Feli whined in Italian, very loudly, and started hugging Roma. The translation was something like, I think, about Roma being mean and how Roma is supposed to be his big brother...

“Gah! Non andare gay su di me! È stupido idiota!” Roma tried to pry Feli away from him. It wasn’t working, not one bit. This translation was a bit funnier! It was something about Feli being gay on him and how Feli was a ‘stupid idiot’!

“Guys!” I tried to interfere.

Feli just uttered a loud ‘VE’ an Roma a loud ‘Chigi! Idiota...’

“I-I think that every specie is special on their own, so you guys shouldn’t fight” I reprimanded.

“Mi Dispiace, Bella Signora...” Feli pouted, his eyes full of remorse.

“Sí... Mi Dispiace, amore...” Roma muttered.

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 5


[Isabella de la Cruz]


“Ve~! Bella! Meet Mio Fratello, Lovino Vargas!” Feli chirped, pointing to a look-alike of him

“Ciao...” He mumbled.

He was a short messy haired brunette, his hair a darker shade than his brother’s. He had a similar outfit as his brother’s as well, with the exception of the royal blue jacket and the royal blue tie. He didn’t have both on. His emerald eyes seemed to show boredom and irritation. I could tell that he was one of those grumpy type people. I also noticed that he had nothing about him that’s ‘creature-like’

“Why so grumpy? Were you forced to come?” I tried not to giggle

A small blush appeared over his cheeks as he answered “Sí...”

“Well, My name’s Isabella! Isabella de la Cruz!” I held out my hand

“Il mio nome é Lovino Vargas” He looked away from me, his blush darkening by a bit “Ma alcune persone mi chiamano Romano...”

“Doesn’t that mean...” I hesitated a bit, biting my lower lip “Your name... is Lovino Vargas and most people... eh... call you Romano? ”

“Sí, Do you know how to-a speak Italiano?” He wondered

I shook my head ‘no’ “I don’t but my Fratello does! He’s Multilingual! I just pick up tid-bits here and there... I wish I could speak Italian though, Roma... My brother mostly speaks Italian! I can just translate, can’t actually speak it.”

I then turned to the other one that entered the room.

“Who’re you?” I tilted my head to the side in curiosity. I then added, lifting my hand up for him to shake “As I said, my name’s Isabella de la Cruz”

“Mi nombre es Antonio Fernández Carriedo, Mi Querida” He answered my question. He then took my hand, lift it up to his face and kissed my knuckles.

He had hair that was almost the same shade as Roma’s, his outfit the same as his too. He also had green eyes but he was taller and, I presumed, older. He had a grin plastered across his face, cheerful and seemingly innocent.

I blushed and took my hand away ‘Mi nombre es Antonio Fernández Carriedo, Mi Querida’ meant My name is Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, my dear.

I most certainly was not his dear.

“I-I see” I stuttered, trying to contain my anger

I then proceeded to sit where I was before. Romano then followed, sitting next to me.

Everybody was where they were, with the exception of Gilbert. He high-fived Antonio then he leaned on the wall next to the spot he used to sit. I knew this because Antonio sat cross-legged on the floor where he used to be.

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 4

[Isabella de la Cruz]

 “Vell, basically, Lower Earth is ze place vere creatures live.” Ludwig started.

“Creatures are-a people like us, bella! Lupinotuum, Canale Taberus, Pretium Volpes! Those-a are only a few of dozens of species!” Feli added.

I tilted m head a bit to the side in confusion. Gilbert just face-palmed “Feli! You’re not helping!”

Then he turned to me “Creatures are basically not like Mundanes. Zose fairytale people you read about?”

I nodded.

“Zose are only Mundane versions of us...” He explained.

Kiku then pointed out that some mythical creatures are actually real creatures from Lower Earth, ‘Mundanes’ discovered some and distorted them to their liking.

“Like?”

“Ze Vampire zat people talk and write about?”

I nodded, making a small ‘yea’ sound.

Gilbert explained how vampires are actually just this breed of creatures called, Vespertillionem. It was actually quite entertaining. Vespetillionem were Catholics and Cristians!

I made a small ‘oh’ sound, as I was very surprised about that.

Then Kiku interjected and said that Were-wolves are a different type of specie too! He said they were a half-specie creature, being half-Vespertillionem and half-Lupinotuum. All half-specie creatures were apparently named Daemonum.

Feli then pointed out “Daemonum are creatures that-a have been infected by two different creatures at-a the same time OR had two parents with-a different species~!”

“Infected? What-” I wondered. What did THAT mean?

“Vhen a Mundane drinks creature blood...” Ludwig interrupted

Then he went on to explain how it exactly worked. Apparently the creature blood spreads through the ‘Mundane’ body and attacks the cells, inserting new DNA in them. The ‘Mundane’ then slowly turns into that creature.

It sent shivers down my spine.

“So... How come peo- Mundanes turn into Vampires when they get bit by them?” I asked

“Well, bella! Vespertillionem are-a the real Vampires and that only happens because-a when a Vespertillionem bites you, he puts blood in the wound~!”

I made another small ‘oh’

This was a information overload!

“Wow! This is so cool and all-” I started but was interrupted by a knock on the clinic door

“Can anybody go in the Asylum?” I mini-panicked

“Nein. Only certain creatures can.”

His words repeated in  my head as the door opened “...Only certain creatures can"

Sh*t! What does that make me?

Fairytale Gone Bad: Chapter 3

[Isabella de La Cruz]

“Bruder! Wir sind hier drüben!” He yelled.

By my knowledge of German ‘Bruder’ was brother and ‘Wir sind’ was we are. So was he talking about us? To a stranger?

“Who is that? And what’s a Puella?” I muttered, I didn’t trust THAT easily and this German accented stranger, no not Gilbert, doesn’t sound very ‘trusting’.

“Mein Bruder and I are supposed to teach you all zat you don’t know yet and one of his friends are supposed to be your ‘bodyguards’” He said as he slid to the side, which made me visible. Then he added “Ze rest are only zere because zey want to be on your Quadrigis.” He finished just as the door flew open, revealing 3 people.

One was a blond, his hair sleeked back, and his eyes were a serious sky-blue. He wore a royal blue suit jacket over a button-up white collar shirt with a royal blue tie and a tan-ish brown-ish cotton, or what looks like cotton, vest while his pants were a royal blue, matching his jacket and tie. He had the exact same ears and tail as Gilbert only his were black.

“Ciao, bella signora~!” Another one of them was a short messy haired brunette, his hair the same shade as his eyes. He had the same outfit as the blond but he was smaller, as the first boy was tall. His chocolate-brown eyes seemed to over flow with joy. I could already tell that he was one of those energetic people. I noticed that he had a he had ears like Gilbert’s too but his seemed a tad bit different. Of a different breed maybe? And I noticed his tail was a bit more furrier than Gilbert’s too.

The last and third one was a jet-black haired boy. His hair was, unlike the others, choppy and short. He had brown eyes like dark chocolate and his outfit was like the other two, just missing the suit jacket. He also had something unusual about his physical features. It was the pair of grey ears, the kind the others had but his were also different and his tail even bushier than the brunette, darkening at the tip, like a different breed? Or maybe it didn’t work that way?

I looked at Gilbert, who was smirking. “Quadrigis means 12 right? So... There are only 3 here...”

“Richtig! Ve only have 6 not counting you! You’re supposed to find your own Quadrigis, ve just helped you a bit. A Quadrigis is a 24 person team, zough. They are required in Umbraculum School for ze Special. Even zough it’s named Quadrigis, doesn’t mean it’s tvelve”

The brunette added “Mio fratello e mio grande fratello Antonio  aren’t a-here yet, though! They’re the 5th and 6th Quadrigis members!”

“Mōshiwakearimasen. We have not introduced ourserves! I am Kiku Honda...” The jet-black haired boy introduced himself. I supposed he was Japanese, since he bowed slightly when introducing himself and he talked Japanese too

“Piacere di conoscerti, bella! My name’s-a Feliciano Vargas!” The brunette chirped. He seemed energetic, his furry tail wagging. He had an Italian accent and he spoke Italian so I presumed he was Italian

“Ja. I am Gilbert’s bruder, Ludwig Beillshmidt” The blond with slicked back hair introduced, lastly. His serious face was, well, serious! And he was presumed to be German since he was Gilbert’s brother and he had a German accent

I then introduced myself “I’m Isabella de la Cruz! Pleased to meet you all, too!”

Then I stopped “I have a question though! Can you explain all about this Lower Earth thing-y to me?”

They all nodded.

I sat down on a hospital bed thing-y and three of them, Feli, Ludwig and Kiku, sat in a couch in front of me with Gilbert leaning onto the wall just beside the bed.
Finally! Some closure!

Fairytale Gone Bade: Chapter 2


[Isabella de la Cruz]
I followed Gilbert till I couldn’t see him anymore.

I opened the first door to my left and saw some sort of clinic.

To treat the wounded, perhaps? (Note Sarcasm)

“Gilbert?” I cautiously called his name.

I crept in and I accidentally closed, SLAMMED, the door.

“Lieben?” An unfamiliar voice stated, as if the person has known me since forever.

I looked up.

I saw a boy, 14 or 15, who was shuffling through the cabinet, a roll of gauze in hand.
He had unusual silver-y short messy hair and red gleaming eyes. He seemed taller than me too!
He wore a red hoodie with a zipper. Underneath that was a white collar shirt buttoned up the whole way. For pants he had on royal blue baggy jeans, his feet adorned with a pair black converse.

“Like vat you see, Lieben?” He smirked, allowing me a clear view of his exceedingly sharp fangs. His voice was adorned with a strange accent... German?

“Wh-Who?” I stuttered, my heart beating faster by the minute.

I panicked and grabbed the nearest object, which was a painfully small vase, and threw it at him aiming for his head.

He dodged it easily, the roll of gauze still in his hand and the vase shattered “Vere you planning to zrow zat at mein head, Lieben?”

“My name isn’t Liebell or whatever! I’m Isabella de la Cruz!” I yelled.

“Gilbert Beillshmidt” He retorted, acting all cool-like. I just humph-ed.

“Lieben” He stepped closer. I backed away, my back hitting the used-to-be-open door. His smirk and his eyes softened a bit “Lieben, are you really scared of me?”

“Please, tell me where my cat is!” I yelled, holding back tears.
Tears are a sign of weakness.

He smirked, which I took as a bad thing. “You’re looking at him”

“You ate him?!” The tears started to flow. He was the only one I had left.

“Nein, Lieben. I am him” He said it slowly, as if I wouldn’t get it.

I didn’t. At all.

I fell to my knees, the tears flowing even more “Stop joking around! Where is he?!”

“Mein Gott! Vhy are you crying?” The stranger panicked. He knelt down beside me and lifted my chin up. He then proceeded to dab something on the wound I had.

It STUNG!

“Ouch!Ouch!  Ouch! Ouch! STOP IT!” I yelled “What IS that?!”

“It’s just vater. To clean your vound and vash avay ze dried up blood” He chuckled “You need to be more careful”

I looked down and saw that he took out a bowl of plain water and adhesive bandages.

“Who are you really?” I asked as the stranger drew back, finished dressing my wound I suppose.

“Gilbert. Your cat” He smirked

“That’s impossib-“ I was about to state when I looked up and suddenly saw...

Snow-white cat ears?

I reached up and grabbed the ears, one in each of my hands, and tugged.

“What’s this?” I asked as I looked up at him, annoyance and a twinge of pain written all over his face.

“OW! Mein Gott! Zat actually hurts ya’ know?!” He yelled

“They’re real?” I let go, tilting my head to the side in confusion.

“Ja!” He yelled, rubbing his ears.

As he turned away I saw his tail, snow-white and wagging lazily around. I grabbed it and it wagged very fast in my hands, tickling my nose. I giggled and let go.

“Prove you’re Gilbert” I suddenly said, straightening myself.

There was a sudden gust of wind that surrounded ‘Gilbert’. The colors of the wind changed from red to white to grey and finally dissipating.

I looked at him and he suddenly...

Turned into Gilbert?!
“Wha-!” I was astonished. I didn’t actually expect him to turn into Gilbert!

“Vat now, Lieben?” The cat seemed to smirk

“O-Okay… Turn back into the human Gilbert now!” I said, still astonished but trying to hide it.

“Fine” Gilbert simply stated before turning slowly into the human Gilbert in the same way he turned into a cat. I actually expected him to be... um... without clothes. Like those werewolves in the books, so I covered my eyes with my hands.

“Vat’s vrong?” He asked, the smirk apparent in his voice.

“A-Are you d-d-decent?” I peeked through my fingers, my cheeks heating up.

“I’m alvays decent...” Gilbert casually answered.

“O-oh... Well... What happens to your clothes when you ‘transform’” I put down my hands and looked at Gilbert.

“I’ll tell you if you let me finish cleaning and dressing zat vound on your temple” Gilbert smirked while trying to act casual.

I suddenly remembered the wound and felt my cheek. Tons of the blood was flowing down. It sickened me even more. “Fine. But you have to tell me everything! Gramama never told me anything about the Lower Earth... Other than it exists of course!”

He seemed to look surprised “Really? She didn’t tell you anyzing?”

I nodded.

He sighed and grabbed the cloth that he used to clean my wound before. He dipped it in the water and then wrung it gently.

Dabbing it on my wound , making me wince, and wiping away the blood from my cheek he added “So you trust your Gramama? She’s not even your real Großmutter! So, vhy?”

“Well! She did rescue us back then, ya’ know” I shrugged, but winced as he put anti-septic on the wound.

“I know! I know! It’s just that, I don’t know, she seems... evil!” He started to put an adhesive bandage on the wound.

“Meh” I shrugged. “She’s not THAT mean”

Gilbert was about to say something when a voice, that wasn’t so familiar, interrupted him “Bruder! Vere are you? Is ze Puella viz you?”

I looked to the door then to Gilbert, who was grinning, and I did the most reasonable thing I could think of at the moment.

I hid behind Gilbert, my grip on his jacket tight.

Who the hell was that?

Love that Lasts Two Lifetimes: Chapter 1


Gabrielle sobbed “You promised...! You said you’d always be there...!”

She looked at his face, serene and peaceful. His mouth was in a permanent smirk, his hair in a eternal tousled state. His eyelids were forever closed, hiding his unusual ruby red eyes. Not like his silvery-white hair wasn’t  unusual as well.

Several tears that were spilling down her cheeks landed on his, spilling down his cheeks “But you left me behind...!”

The apparition behind her seemed to disagree “No! That’s not it, Elle!”

She just kept ignoring the spirit as if she couldn’t see him, which was the case. The brunette just wiped his wet cheeks dry. Calming down, she whispered “Gosh! That black tux doesn’t suit you! Formal things never did, did they?”

The manifestation behind her smiled “What the hell! I look good in anything!” He tried to wipe away her tears, which failed miserably since he couldn’t even touch her.

Gabrielle felt a chill, though.

She wiped all her tears away and smoothed her red sundress. She wanted to wear Gilbert’s favorite color.

It was his funeral, after all.

“For you...!” She smiled sadly as she picked up a bouquet that was on the ground and put it in the coffin with him. It was made of different roses.

This made Gilbert’s smile disappear.

The bouquet consisted of  pink, yellow, yellow with red tips, orange, a coral shade, lavender, black, blue, dark pink, white red roses; one each. All of which were thorn-less.

“Hoffen wir uns wiedersehen, Gilbert”

Teenage Love [England-X-Philippines]


"Teenage Love: Stealing something of his so he has to put his arms around you to get it" --Tumblr

***

The next day, Isabella felt a bit better! She didn't even bump into the Italian! Today was going to be a good day, she was sure of it!

"Belle! Give me back my book!" A certain British gentleman shouted from her left, immediately passing her and going straight.

'Did he really fall for that?' Isabella thought as she stared at the back of said boy from the corner.

Clutching the book closer to her chest, she had wondered why the hell he wanted to keep it from her so much. It was just a book, right?

But, what kind of book was what the girl was wondering about!

She was about to pull the book away from her and open it when it was suddenly snatched away from her "Hey!"

Abruptly turning, her eyes met mischievous green ones. He caught her.

"I am the country Sherlock Holmes originated from! Did you really think you could get away with it, love?" Arthur teased, waving the book in front of the girl's face.

"Give it back!" Isabella lunged but failed as the book was torn away from her grasp yet again "Kuya Britain!"

"Uh-uh!" The boy waggled a finger "Remember what I told you, love!"

He then took the book and stuffed it in the bag at his side "You're not supposed to see what's in it!"

Pouting, the Philippine nation huffed "Can I at least have a clue on what's in there?"

The British boy shook his head "No!"

"You're an awful tease today, aren't you? Kuya Britain?" The girl crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow

The blushes that the British nation tried to withheld suddenly appeared, immediately lighting up his face "Uh-! It's just that-!"

This had made the girl giggle "Never let your guard down, Kuya!"

This had Arthur completely silenced, his eyes widening.

There was Isabella, in all of her pickpocketing glory. She had one hand on her waist and the other holding the book that was being snatched back and forth.

Before Arthur could say anything, Isabella immediately dashed.

It left the poor nation dazed, with his hand out as if to grab her. The hand then flopped down to his side and he sighed "You're such a handful, love..."

He then dashed after the girl, yelling her name over and over.

"They're such a cute couple!" Was all Italy, one of the spectators, could say.

Japan seemed to agree, as he nodded while scrolling through the pictures he had gotten. Germany just sighed, his hand on his forehead.

Romano, however, stood there.His jealousy was showing through his angry and red face. His arms were crossed and his glare could've burned a hole right through England's head, which would've made Romano very happy "I don't think so!"



Blind Love [Philippines-X-S.Italy]

Isabella whimpered "Kuya 'Vino..."

Kicking a rock that dared to be in her path, she started sobbing.

The sobbing then turned into full blown crying and wailing, yet she still tried to keep it in. Storing in her feelings was the best she could do at the moment.

She then dashed to her room, passing Papa Toni in the process.

"Mi hija?" He reached for her, only to miss as she dashed away even faster.

Closing the door with more force than necessary, she dived into her pile of pillows. She sobbed freely now, seeing as she was as far away from the Italian as she could be.

Knock. Knock "Mi hija? Are you alright? Open the door!"

She just shook her head, sobbing, as she picked up some pillows and a blanket. She then headed for her closet, dumping all her clothes out, arranging the pillows in a comfortable manner, then finally entering into the small space.

Since Isabella was a petite girl, she fit comfortably in.

She then locked the double-doors from the inside "GO AWAY!"

Cuddling the cursed teddy-bear that the Italian gave to her, she sobbed into it's head. The blanket covered her entire lower half, her long sleeved sweater providing heat to the upper part of her body. Being surrounded by pillows, she started talking to herself. It seemed to make her feel better

"Oh, Orso! I'm so sad..." The girl muttered "I saw Kuya 'Vino with that puta! I hate her!"

Staring at the bear's big black button eyes, she continued "See, I went to tell Kuya 'Vino that it was dinner time...."

I gasped to myself.


It was that girl! She's sitting next to Kuya 'Vino!


Taking a few steps towards them, I hesitated. Thinking nothing of it, I just dashed and ran towards the cursed couple.


"Kuya 'Vino!" I tapped his shoulder.


At first he looked a bit angry, but then his expression turned into something else! Something I couldn't really pin-point...


"Oh, Isabella! What is it you need, mia ragazza bella?" He muttered, blushing


I clutched the sleeves of my sweater even harder, hearing him say something in Italian always made me feel all funny in the inside! 


"U-uh! Pa-Papa Toni told me to call you in for dinner!"


He raised an eyebrow and sighed "Si! I'll be there in a second!"


However, the girl next to him didn't seem to like me.


"Who is she?" She squeaked.


"Ah, Isabella? She's like a sorella to me..." Kuya immediately answered.


I bowed slightly "Nice to finally meet you, Miss! Kuya has told me a lot about you..."


Kuya 'Vino turned to me, a confused look on his face.


"Of course he'd tell you about me! I am that amazing!" She boasted.


I had almost scoffed, but decided against it since I wanted this girl to think highly of Kuya "Actually, you look prettier in person! Kuya's descriptions did you no justice!"


This Kuya's face look even more confused.


"So, what? Why are you still here anyway, b**ch! Go away! This is actually the first time I've heard of you! I never heard Lovi-kins talk about you, we don't care for your company!" She screeched, making Kuya's gaze to immediately whip to her.


I was stunned


"So? Go away, peasant girl! We. Don't. Want. You. Here!"


They don't want me here! Kuya 'Vino doesn't want me here...


"Oh? Mawalang-galang na, ho! I didn't mean-! I mean, I was-!"


Glancing at Kuya, whose expression I couldn't read again, I just turned around to hide the prickling tears "Sorry! I'll just be leaving now..."


That's when I slowly started to walk away.


"Wait! Bella!" I heard Kuya shout


I turned around, only to find that Kuya had stood up. The girl clinging to his arm, he wore that unreadable expression on his face.


"Don't worry, Kuya 'Vino~!" I faked the best happy voice I could muster, which wasn't too good "I'll tell Kuya Toni that you might be late to dinner~! You have a girl to pay attention to after all!"

Wiping her tears away from her face, she sighed "Ay! Dios ko po! Am I really crying over something so stupid as this? I don't even know...! Why I'm...! Crying!"

The girl then promptly fell asleep.

How couldn't she see that she was finally in love with the Italian?
