"Now then let us talk about your situation." Crowley said and I sigh with disappointment that he couldn't just leave.
"Under no circumstances would I admit anyone to Night Raven College who can't use magic. Especially not two females." Crowley said and I held back from saying 'sextist much.'
"Nor do I intend to allow you to freeload until you're able to return home." He continues and I have to bite back that we can probably never return...
That realization just hit me... we can't go home... everything I knew was gone... my friends... my home... my family...
At that moment I wanted to cry... to lock myself in my room... I just realized I had lost everything...
And I couldn't even remember everything I lost...
And that was even worse... I was clueless...
I felt my heartbreak... I look at moonlight who I could only assume hadn't realized just how bad our situation was...
I remember I still had her and grim... that's all I had...
And I had to stay strong... after all... I can't let them break...
And so I pushed my feelings aside as I focus on the conversation...
Silently glad for the hood on my head being able to hide my expression...
It would have been bad if I just slipped up there...
That's right, how could I forget... this place isn't full of things that would be vastly different...
And we couldn't trust anyone currently.
"Hrmph. Never shoulda got my hopes up..." grim said as he climbed up to my shoulder.
"Now, allow me to explain. It was the Dark Mirror that transported you here. Therefore this school does bear some responsibility for your well-being. So I will allow you to remain in this dorm, free of charge." Bird brain said and I couldn't help but wonder what will be the but of this since he's being too nice...
"However, you will need to pay for your own food, clothing, and incidentals." He said and immediately I was about to throw in arguments and possibly fight him on this.
'The school is technically my guardian for now... I'm a teenage girl who is 16! We're not expected to live by ourselves or work to pay bills!' I thought anger was building up inside me.
"As to how you will do so, penniless as you are... Ah. Ah ha. He's a fine plan." He continued as I walked to be right in front of him handing grim to light.
And this was about to either end up as black mailing him or a physical attack on him...
Currently I didn't care which one.
"Now Crowley is it safe to assume that as headmaster your technically our legal guardian? Since the school is responsible for us." I asked.
"Well I guess so." Crowley said him seemingly sensing he had made a wrong move.
"Then by that statement we shouldn't have to worry about food and such since our guardian should pay the expenses... after all we're not adults meaning we're not expected to live on our own right?" I asked smiling deviously.
I noticed how Crowley swallowed like he didn't expect this reaction or response...
"Well.." he started but I immediately started talking.
"Besides isn't this place a safety hazard? There was so much dust that I worry we could get some kind of lug disease." I continue... my smile growing by the minute and I could feel Grim's surprise look from where I'm talking.
And the damn bird was feeling intimidated by each word.
"And If you kick us out we would be helpless... we would have to go to the closest police station and tell them...
'the headmaster of Night Raven College dragged us to an unfamiliar world... with no way home and without a penny to our name... he told us if we wanted to stay we would have to live in a run down building and pay for our own food and such... that he would only let us live in a dorm that's been abandoned with so many holes that when it rains we get wet because it can't even stop it.'
And by all means wouldn't that damage this school's reputation? If it isn't illegal?" I asked, already knowing I won.
"Well... you do make a good point... so I was gonna offer you a job... as janitors to pay for those expenses." Crowley said, trying to find some way to win this argument.
"Oh? But wouldn't that be child labor? After all, I'm 16. I'm not an adult. I'm close but your putting us in a situation where we will be forced to work and we don't even know how money works here..." I said with amusement.
"So you could underpay us and screw us over... I highly doubt someone as generous as you would do but regardless we wouldn't be able to accept it since it could damage your reputation." I continue check mating him.
'Idiot I'm a fox, we're far more cunning then most.' I thought proudly.
"I see... I guess I'll have it set where you can live here without worry... about any of the expenses... I'll be taking my leave for tonight." Crowley said his voice was nervous as he felt like he just messed with the one person who could control everything...
And he very well might have...
'Good work... bird... is in control... my... pearl.' Spoke a new voice...
And by now I was wondering who the hell are these voices?! I've heard four different ones! All female tho...
The first was the clearest and sounded like grace itself...
The second sounded like power...
The third sounded knowledgeable...
And this one sounded manipulative...
I sigh knowing I will not get the answers I want.
