They returned to the school, where they got into trouble with their teacher Tina. By the way Natalia survived
Tina: Where the hell were you I was worried And as if that was not enough Two Ages has disappeared Huh Who is this child
Nacht: Hmm
Diego: Uh
Charlotte: Uh
Nacht: We found her in the forest. She was lying on the ground.
Mona: Silent
Charlotte: Yes and we brought her because she is injured Look at her stomach If we had not stitched it she would be dead
Tina: Oh dear You poor thing What is your name
Natalia: Natalia
Tina: And your last name
Natalia: Natalia Rasputin
Tina: Ugh Okay Rasputin Like the former monarch of Krasnau
Diego: Huh
Nacht: Ugh
Charlotte: Great The only thing missing is Kisa being a princess from some kingdom like Delleroso or Britanika
Kisa: Huh I am also from Krasnau
Tina: Enough Go to your rooms quickly Luckily I lied and said you were picking some plants for me
Diego: That is kind of you
They went on their way.
Nacht: So see you
Diego: Mhm
Kisa: Goodbye
Charlotte: Hot bath and then sleep
Mona: Mmm
They walked away.
Kisa: Mona Are you okay
She stopped.
Mona: Kisa I am sorry but can you leave me alone today I am sorry for saying it like this but I do not want to see anyone anymore today
Kisa: Oh Okay It is okay If you need help I am here
Mona: Thanks
Because Mona was in the same room as Kisa, Kisa decided to sleep on the couch in the common room.
Mona: Hahh Hahhh
A mouth on her arm: Well What is wrong
A mouth on her shoulder: Hahahahaha Are you suffering you poor thing
Mona: Shut up Gh
She covered her ears.
Mona: Ghhhh Ghhhh
Her stitched wounds opened again, and a figure rose out of a dark liquid. It stood in front of Mona and held her cheeks.
Mona: Ugh Papa Ma ma Help me
Dark figure: Hehehehe
Asmedous: Mona
Mona: Ugh
Mona came back to herself.
Mona: What Asmedous
Asmedous: Damn What is wrong with you girl
Mona: Did you get worried or what Shut up
Asmedous: Hmm Seems the Necromancer is not in the school
Mona: So What is your problem not mine
Asmedous: You are right That is why I decided to leave again
Mona: What
Asmedous: I will not kill you Do not worry I like you That is why I will let you live I am not such an evil spirit
Mona: Then what are you doing
Asmedous: Looking for the book of course
Mona: Hmm By the way thanks for your transformation Otherwise we would be dead now
Asmedous: No problem
Mona: When will you go
Asmedous: As soon as you sleep I will go
Mona: What if I do not sleep
Asmedous: Then I will go once it is completely dark And I am sure you will sleep In one Two Three
She fell onto the bed and Asmedous appeared.
Asmedous: It was fun with you little one But your body cannot take much more It is already enough that you have to live with this curse This will not necessarily be our last goodbye I do not want to put you in danger I know where the Necromancer is but I did not want you to get in trouble Strange Why do I even care
Asmedous was born from the suffering and hatred of children, children who died in war or from hunger. That hatred formed into a figure called Asmedous. That is why it is strange that a being born from hate and pain can suddenly feel pity. Either way, he went to the place in the school where the Necromancer should be. It was a very large book, almost as long as an entire arm, with the symbol of a snake.
Asmedous: Got you
Serwald: Oh dear oh dear What do we have here
Asmedous: Huh
Serwald: You dark being dare to enter my room
Asmedous: You are a teacher Wait That symbol Are you a Monet
Serwald: Exactly I am Serwald Monet
Asmedous: Ugh
Asmedous tried to flee outside, but a cube appeared and caught him.
Serwald: Hmm Got you
He crushed it.
Serwald: Very well Now to the plan To kill Charlotte Eichenwalde The last remaining Eichenwalde member Grin But it is still too early Hehehe
Meanwhile
Mona: Hahhh Hahhh Hahhh Ghhh
She was sweating in her sleep. She wore pajamas. Her neck and body were sweating so much that her shoulders were almost completely wet.
Mona: Hahhh
She suddenly sat up and stared at the window.
Mona: Hahhh Hahhh Hahhh
Memory
Mona: Mommy Daddy
End of the memory
Mona: Ghhh
She held her head.
Mona: Hahhh Stop Stop Stop Huh
A figure appeared at the window.
Mona: Ugh Aaaaaa Mmm
A hand covered her mouth.
Mona: Mmmm
Shhh It is me Diego he said.
Mona: Ugh
Diego: Hey
Mona: What are you doing here
Diego: Nothing I was just worried
Mona: Could you not just come through the door like a normal person
Diego: No The girls here scream when they see me
Mona: Ugh Damn What do you want
Diego: I am just worried
Mona: Are you really worried or do you just want to use me and then run away
Diego: Sweats I am not that perverted Nacht and Charlotte said I should check on you Well Crane and Roland said it too
Diego looked at Mona. She was sweating a lot.
Mona: Sorry I sweat a lot in my sleep
Diego: It is fine
Mona: Of all things you could say that was the worst thing I have ever heard
Mona sighed. Diego grinned stupidly.
Diego: Kisa is worried too We met earlier She came to me and woke people up to ask about me
A few minutes earlier
Knock Knock
A student behind the door complained and opened.
Kisa: Oh
The woman looked surprised when she saw Kisa. Can I help you
Kisa: Is Diego here
Oh Are you his girlfriend
Kisa: What Yes I mean normal friendship
She shrugged. That is what all women who know him say. She brought Diego.
Diego: Oh Kisa What is it
Kisa: Diego I am worried about Mona
Diego: Why
Kisa: I do not know
Then they heard a crow and a boing. It was Crane and Roland.
Diego: Hey What are you doing here
Crane: Nacht told me to go to you and tell you that you should visit Mona
Roland: This rabbit thinks it is a good idea Charlotte brought him here
Kisa: Please Diego
Diego: Why me She does not like me
Kisa: That is not true And you have wolf powers With your fairy tale Grimm Little Red Riding Hood you should be able to sneak in easily
Diego: Hmm
Kisa: Please Diego
Diego: Fine
Kisa: Thanks Diego
She hugged him and rubbed her cheek against his.
Kisa: You are so kind
Diego: Ugh Kisa Blush Stop
And that is how Diego ended up visiting Mona
Mona: Oh So that is how it is
Diego: What is wrong Mona
Mona: Diego
Diego nodded.
Mona: Are you angry at me
Diego: Huh
He looked confused.
Mona: I hid that I am the daughter of Gargamel Maleficient Mona Maleficient
Diego: Angry Why would I be You cannot help who your father is I hope I said it right
Mona: Really
Diego: Yes You are Mona And you stay Mona no matter who your family is
Mona smiled.
Diego: But can you tell me who those people are who died because of you according to Two Ages
Mona: Zoe Hainsworth and Elliot Hainsworth
Ten years ago
Little Mona was in a dungeon wearing pajamas. Gargamel never allowed her to leave. She was chained. She got old bread to eat and barely clean water to drink. She did not know her mother and had only seen her father three times. Someone from the Seven Deadly Sins, Medusa, took care of her.
Medusa: Hehehe You look cute when you bite the bread
Mona: Ahmm
Medusa: How pathetic the way you eat the way you drink that dirty water the way you try to look cute
Mona: Hiccup I want out
Medusa: That is not possible Hehe
Mona: But I only see darkness I want to see the sun
Medusa: The sun You want to see something your father hates You are such a naughty child
Mona: But Mama loved the sun
Medusa: Mama is gone, little one. Remember that. Your father took a human form and used women only to create a successor. You must become the Queen of Nightmare and control the dark realm
Later
A mouse appeared. Mona smiled.
Mona: Hey Do you want my bread
She gave it the bread. It ate.
Mona: I want to get out Can you help me
The mouse climbed onto her shoulder and began biting the chains and fabric, weakening them over days.
One day a chain finally broke. Mona freed herself and ran until she reached a forest.
A tree fell. Someone caught her.
A hunter asked if she was okay and carried her because her leg was hurt. He brought her home. His name was Elliot Hainsworth. He had a wife, Zoe, younger than him. Elliot was 31, Zoe 25. Zoe was tall, with long blonde hair, freckles, big blue eyes.
Zoe: Oh dear What did you bring home, Elliot
Elliot: I found her in the forest Is she not cute
Zoe: Hello little one What is your name
Mona: Mona
Zoe: Your last name
Mona: I do not know it
Zoe: You are adorable
They fed her, cared for her for about three weeks.
Elliot: Mona We decided something
Mona looked sad, thinking they would send her away.
Zoe: We will adopt you
Mona: Huh
Elliot: You are our daughter now, Mona, if you want
Mona: Yes
Zoe hugged her, kissed her cheeks, thrilled to have a daughter.
Days later they went fishing at a great lake called Fairy Lake.
Elliot thanked Mona, saying Zoe smiled again because Mona gave them warmth after losing their children. He explained Zoe had been depressed, barely eating, barely sleeping, blaming herself, even trying to end her life.
Later Elliot gave Mona a fairy tale book: Grimm The Town Musicians of Bremen. It had belonged to his father.
Six years passed. They lived happily until that night.
A scream came from her parents' room.
Mona opened the door and saw them butchered on the floor. Elliot without a head, Zoe torn apart.
Mona: Mommy Daddy
At the window she saw a terrifying figure. A huge eye. A rider mocked her for thinking she could escape.
Then a song appeared, a horrible melody. Mona screamed as cracks appeared across her body. Eyes opened. Her pale skin turned bluish.
Mona: Aaaaaaargh Aaaaaaargh
Her Grimm book fell, opened, and a rooster appeared wearing a suit and holding a cigarette.
Rooster: Leave the girl alone, you villain
He pulled out an oboe and blew, and suddenly they were gone.
They landed in a forest. Mona was unconscious. When she woke she felt pain.
Mona: Ouch Everything hurts
She looked at her hand.
Mona: I am alive but what is wrong with me Why is my skin strange
It was slightly violet. The rooster appeared.
Rooster: Young lady, you are finally awake
Mona: Who are you
Rooster: My name is Ludwig
Ludwig: You were cursed by that terrifying knight
Mona: And my parents
He shook his head.
Ludwig: I am sorry, young miss
Mona: What do I do now What is this Why do I have these wounds
A stitched wound opened and an eye appeared.
Mona: Aaaaaaargh What is that
Ludwig: Please calm down It might still be here
Mona: Why did you save me Why did you not let me die It would have been better
Ludwig: Is that your thanks, young miss
Mona: Where do you even come from
Ludwig: From your fairy tale book Grimm The Town Musicians of Bremen
Mona: What
Ludwig: I have a proposal You use us for fighting You make a contract with us And we help you survive and find a cure for the curse
Mona: A cure
He nodded and told her of a well called Lemon, said to remove any curse, though no one knew where it was.
Mona: Fine I want to kill the monster who killed my parents
Ludwig: Good answer
They shook hands and made the contract.
Back to the present
Diego: So that is it
Mona: Yes Because of me they died If I had never escaped and just accepted it they would be alive They would never have met me
Diego: What are you saying
He held her shoulders.
Diego: That is not true Remember what your father told you Both of them, especially Zoe, were lonely after their children died And you gave them something to not feel alone
Diego: Do not say they would be better without you Without you their life would have been a curse
Mona: Ugh
Diego: Do you understand
Mona stared, shocked, then tears appeared.
Mona: Are you sure
Diego: Yes
She smiled.
Mona: Thank you Diego Thank you so much
Diego: Okay I should go before someone sees me
He stood up. She held his hand, turned him back, held his cheeks, and kissed his cheek.
Diego: Ugh
Mona: That is just a thank you Now go before someone sees you And you should learn not to get flustered from every touch
Diego: Ugh Okay
He left the room.
Mona: Hmm
She blushed.
Mona: I actually wanted to kiss him
The next day
Tina: Today today today we have a new lesson Hehe
Diego: Why three times
Nacht: No idea Maybe she has her period
Diego: What does that have to do with it
Nacht: Kisa also does weird things when she has her period
Diego: Like what
Nacht: She laughs while showering
Diego: Ugh
Charlotte: Okay that is creepy
Kisa: It is because I shower with cold water when I have my period
Mona: That is strange Why cold Do you want to get sick
Kisa: It is fine I grew up in a village in Krasnau where it is very cold
Tina: So uh Let us begin
She stumbled and almost fell, but Diego caught her.
Diego: Miss Tina
Tina: Oh sorry
Nacht: Quick get a doctor
They got a doctor. His name was Doctor Oktor.
Oktor: Miss Tina When did you last sleep properly
Tina: I do not know Maybe three or four days
Diego: Three
Nacht: That does not sound healthy
Charlotte: Hmm
The class worried.
Tina: I am fine Sorry I am just exhausted
Oktor: You should rest because you are tired
Diego: Am I the only one who finds this doctor weird
Nacht: Looks like we can agree on something for once
Charlotte: I still have to make up my work later because I was injured Thanks for that, Nacht
Nacht: No problem
Mona: Sweats You are really heartless
Nacht: Emotions are unnecessary
Mona: Sweats says the one who fell for Kisa
Later the lesson was canceled.
Charlotte had to hurry to a test.
They discussed Tina's strange condition, and then noticed someone hiding behind a cloth.
Mona: Come out We saw you
It was Luie and Bretton.
Luie: Uh
Bretton: Sorry for bothering you
Mona: What do you want
Luie: We know what is wrong with Miss Tina
Luie: It is that dwarf He did it
Bretton: Rumpelstiltskin
Nacht: Impossible A fairy tale cannot hurt their contract partner
Bretton: But what if the contract allows it
Mona: So there is something to it
Nacht: Yes
They explained they overheard and saw Tina tied up and mistreated. The details were unclear and they were scared.
Charlotte returned and confirmed dwarves can be brutal and dangerous, and that a contract could allow harmful conditions.
They decided they had to help Tina and defeat the dwarf, but they would need a plan because dwarves are powerful and intelligent, and can regenerate unless their heart and brain are destroyed.
Charlotte said dwarves have a weakness and they needed someone willing to act as bait.
Later
Tina: Hahh Hahh
Esteban: Hey hey
Tina: Please
Esteban: You forgot the contract If you do not bring me a woman, I will punish you
Knock knock
Charlotte and Kisa appeared.
Charlotte: Hellooo
Kisa: Blush Mmm
Esteban: Oh hello
Charlotte approached as planned. She wore a backless sleep outfit.
Charlotte: What a cute dwarf May I sit beside you
Esteban: Gladly
She sat beside him.
Esteban: You smell so good
Tina: Get out of here
Charlotte: Shhh See She is not like us I do not reject you
She patted his head.
Charlotte: Hehe
Kisa: Uh
Charlotte signaled Kisa. Kisa sat too, also in a sleep outfit.
Esteban: Oh
Charlotte slipped something into his drink.
Charlotte: Want a sip
Esteban: Hey The school would get angry You are minors
Charlotte: So what Do not be a party killer Come Sit on the bed beside me
Esteban drank.
Esteban: I feel dizzy
Charlotte: Of course you do
Esteban: What did you put in it
He collapsed.
Nacht and Diego entered.
Charlotte: Tie him up Hurry Alcohol works on dwarves
They tied him up and freed Tina.
Kisa: Are you okay
Tina: Please do not hurt him
Charlotte: We are not hurting him Why are you defending someone like that
Tina: He is lonely okay
Charlotte: Women like you are exhausting, falling for someone violent when there are decent people
Tina: Esteban saved my life It is not what you think He did not abuse me
Charlotte: Then what
Tina: He just wants to sleep beside me Sometimes hugs That is all
Kisa: I did not sense truly evil intent
Tina: Sometimes he goes too far Maybe he hits if you break the contract But he never truly harmed a woman He is just rough
Charlotte: That is still abuse at least where I come from
Tina: That is why I cannot stand you Eichenwalde You think you understand nature and fairy tales more than us Ainsworth
Charlotte: Hmph
Tina: That is why they are dead because they were arrogant But sadly you survived
A dark aura rose from Charlotte. Her calm face changed. Her eyes widened.
Charlotte: What did you just say If you want to die so badly I can do that for you
Figures appeared from Grimm Alice in Wonderland.
Nacht: Calm down Charlotte
Diego: Calm down
Charlotte clicked her tongue and glared at Tina.
Charlotte: I hope you rot
She left the room.
Kisa: That was really cruel, Miss Tina She was worried about you
Meanwhile
Charlotte: Tsss Damn it Again Huh
She heard something.
Then someone covered her mouth.
Charlotte: Mmmm
She was drugged.
Charlotte: Mmmm
She closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Serwald: Got you Charlotte Eichenwalde The last Eichenwalde family member Hehe
He carried her to his room.
Meanwhile
Nacht: I will go look for her
He left.
Nacht: She cannot have gone that fast
Ichabod: Nacht I have a bad feeling
Nacht: What is it Ichabod
Nacht looked around and noticed a drop of blood.
Nacht: Huh
He knelt, touched it, and smelled it.
Nacht: I do not understand
Ichabod: That is not Charlotte's blood
Nacht: Are you sure
Ichabod: Do not ask a vampire if he is sure what blood it is A vampire knows
Nacht: You are not a vampire You are just a being that lives in shadows
Ichabod: Still
Nacht: Then whose blood is it I have a bad feeling Maybe it is just a coincidence
A few hours later
Charlotte: Ghhh
Serwald: Awake now, young miss
Charlotte: Mr Serwald What is this
Serwald: Hehehe Charlotte Eichenwalde Shame you do not know me Serwald Monet
Charlotte: Ugh A Monet
Serwald: Exactly And I helped with the murder of your family, the Eichenwalde
Charlotte: Ghhh
Serwald: Damn You are really pretty for your age Hehe
Charlotte: Tsss You bastard
He laughed loudly. Around them were corpses of nature spirits.
The Monet family was known for magic control and brutality. They brought remedies, but from the blood of nature spirits. They were involved in wars. Betelgeuse Monet turned the family into a powerful mage family, and found a way to avoid aging by taking other bodies. One day he took the body of a sick child and died. The Monets have no single leader, they act together.
Serwald: Hehehe
Charlotte: Ghhh
Next morning
Ding dong
Kisa: Charlotte is not here
Mona: Is she still angry about yesterday
Nacht: Hmm
Diego: This is strange Should we ask about her
Nacht: Hmm
Nacht went to the members of the Alice magic group.
Nacht: Hey Where is Charlotte
They looked confused and said they did not know. She was not there yesterday either.
Nacht: What
Diego: Huh
Mona: This does not sound good
Kisa: Oh no
Mona: Diego Should we not search for her I am starting to worry
Diego: I thought you hated Charlotte
Mona: I do but Charlotte reminds me of myself, only everyone died and she grew up without a family I feel sorry for her
Meanwhile
Serwald: Are you hungry
Charlotte: Hahh Go away you old bastard
Serwald: You are hungry Then I will feed you scraps
He forced a large bottle into her mouth.
Charlotte: Ugh Gulp Gulp
He pulled it out.
Charlotte: Ghhh Bleargh
She vomited.
Serwald: Oh dear I forgot to say those scraps were rotten Oops
Charlotte: Ghhh
He hit her in the stomach with a hammer.
Charlotte: Ghhhh
Serwald: Hehehe
