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!
