Guys I got good news. I'm finally done in the writing stage and now its officially in the drafts of tumblr!! Now.. its just the editing stage, and looking at every single thing to make sure its still accurate to the characters personalities.
Accidentally changed my pfp, I sadly don't have the hedgehog picture saved and I can't find it on Pinterest.. so i simply changed it to one that matches my theme.. this.. will need getting used to. Ps. I know you may wonder how can you accidentally do something..? Well. I wished to just see something and never changed my pfp on this app before.. so. Yeah.
Rating The twst boy's from each dorm starting highest to lowest in each dorm category!
Disclaimer this may also include how I believe the dynamic between a character and Yume might be but the ending results could change.
Heartslabyul !♡
Riddle Rosehearts: I believe that Riddle is my most favorite from Heartslabyul, which is quite surprising because the people who know like my posts from the past know that Ace was the topic in majority of my twst content. Onto Yume she most definitely shares the same sentiment of Riddle being her favorite person, from heartslabyul but until like Riddle's overblot she is a terrible influence on Riddle. Riddle though is a great influence on her its a difficult scenario I believe. But the moment Riddle overblots, I can't quite say how their dynamic will turn out because I've wrote nothing for it.
Ace Trappola: To be completely honest I believe that Ace is my second most favorite character from Heartslabyul, I would say the same is for Yume except at the moment he's a bit suffocating for her but in the future I believe that he will be the actual growth she needs to be better. Although; I am having some thoughts on how after Riddles overblot someone kinda.. asks a certain someone to teach them what it means to be their friend and if they could be friends.
Deuce Spade: Honestly I can't say I truly have an opinion on Deuce, I don't hate him but hes not a favorite. For me personally I feel like while Deuce is our friend he doesn't get the same sort of impact that Ace leaves. I mean it feels different in the manga and anime because in both those cases, you meet Deuce with Ace but in the game you meet Ace first and then you both drag Deuce into the whole thing and get him in trouble. Then its the same for the actual book one we drag Deuce into getting in trouble as well. Deuce and Ace both get similar amounts of screentime and yet; it feels as if we're closer to Ace example being book seven not gonna go deep into depth but Ace dreams of what we desire to go home and still be able to stay in twst Deuce forgets quite often that we wish to return home I feel and then his own dream hadn't even included like an ounce of us you know..? The four of us are friends yes but for me personally I feel like while we are clearly close to Deuce its quite obvious that the bond with Ace is you know.? Onto Yume. Because of the fact I decided to go with the anime and Manga interaction she met Deuce when she met Ace but she paid zero to no attention to that interaction because of that fact alongside the fact Ace will as everyone should know will be sharing a dorm with Yume she'll grow closer probably to Ace I mean yeah the next day as everyone knows Deuce will start that as well but in that short time period growth between Ace and Yume will be shown while growth between Yume and Deuce won't. I mean as everyone knows Deuce will tell Yume his backstory but.. its Yume. Not to mention while Ace will be able to see the bad qualities Yume has I don't believe Deuce will. So just as my opinion of Deuce Yume shall have the same no thoughts. Maybe it shall change but that change will be long after Ace and Yume.
Trey Clover: Hm.. How do I think of Trey.. We don't quite interact with him hes helpful in book one sure but then hes practically sidelined in book two where he should be helping but since hes injured he can't. I don't mind him I mean I personally don't believe his appearance suits my taste but I don't hate him. Yume? She's uncomfortable around him. They don't grow close they both simply will care for Riddle. Trey probably will like Yume like he undoubtedly believes that Yume is a good person for Riddle because Riddle needs friends just before Riddle's overblot he probably wished that instead of being a bad influence she would be a good one. Trey doesn't grow close to Yume and neither does she grow close to him although I will say this is book two she might like him a bit more then Deuce simply because what he does for Riddle.
Cater Diamond: Thoughts on Cater.. I don't like him? He's a bit to much for me. His lore is left unexplained like, I know he has depth but it will never be explained upon and the lore that is there because I don't have that much of an opinion on him I'm not willing to go and explore on that depth. I also don't have the favorable opinion on his design.. Yume's thoughts though. To her hes far too chatty for her liking not to mention all the words he uses are things she utterly can't comprehend none of them being in the books she used to have, not to mention how close he gets to her. Riddle and Cater are two different people she felt comfortable around Riddle so from the start any touch was welcomed but she while she doesn't quite understand it feels discomforting.
Savanaclaw !𖤓
Ruggie Bucchi: OH my goodness we have officially moved onto the hardest dorm to rank all the other dorms? Atleast I know where they stand this dorm sucks a- ahem.. I believe that Ruggie is cute. Lore? I know no one's lore in this dorm. To be completely honest they had so many directions to go for book two and they trashed it. I can't remember anything memorable about the book or the characters which is sad because I like the lion king and I love Scar. Anyways onto Yume's opinion. She.. hm.. I haven't thought about it simply because of the fact she hasn't met him, I believe that her thoughts will most likely include confusion? He confuses her but he reminds her of those squirrels she always saw climbing on the roses outside her window and then laying on the outside of her window. She'll probably have the opinion that he looks cute but they won't grow close not to mention Ruggie will run the moment shes around considering how scary women are.
Jack Howl: This.. is an interesting case. He's how do I put this? He's a freshmen, so it feels like we should be friends with him correct.? And we are. But hes simply not that important. He likes cactuses hes childhood friends with Vil he tries to help us during book three. But throughout all of that hes unimportant. Hes upset about everything that is going on in book two but.. he only helps after fighting Ace and deuce.? Then hes like he wants to do it alone. But before the duo fought him he wasn't doing anything. I'll be honest I don't like him. But I don't hate him. Yume's opinion of him. Well.. how is a person who barely interacts with someone meant to think of them? She'll probably find him troublesome, he knew what was going on but when they went up to him to warn him he acted all secretive which was annoying. But.. she doesn't hate him so that should count for something.
Leona Kingscholar: Opinion on him.. I'm actually quite fond of him. Is he my favorite? No. I have no actual favorite favorite in this dorm but if I had to choose it would be him. He hates Malleus? I hate Malleus. You know the saying a enemy of your enemy is your friend. Yume's opinion. Grim stepped on his tail he was upset at Grim, and Grim had made it worse but she quickly shut it off by grabbing Grim and stopping him from continuing, she recognized him from orientation and she wished to apologize. She wouldn't say that she likes Leona but he's quite kind although him like Ruggie doesn't speak to her often.
Octavinelle !𐂠
Jade Leech: My favorite twin, and favorite character in the dorm I sadly don't share the same tastes as liking mushrooms but I digress. I can't quite say what makes me like Jade I simply do. Onto Yume's opinion. Jade they had met in orientation while she hadn't spoke to him she saw him and he saw her, and she's quite scared of him. He's quite tall like Jack, except Jack isn't intimidating Jade is. They've met a couple other times before book three but all those times had been with Riddle and considering what Riddle has told her Jade is the better twin out of the two. Twin is a new word she learnt because of Riddle him having taught her all about the different kinds of twins and siblings. Because of the fact Riddle told her that Jade is the better twin and atleast doesn't bother people as much as Floyd does she found herself preferring Jade as well over Floyd.. Not just Floyd, she prefers Jade over Azul.
Azul Ashengrotto: Azul.. he's quite cute isn't he? I have a favorable opinion of Azul, he reminds me of those squished that change colors when you pull the inside out I have a ton of them, his whole overblot was.. Sad. I relate to him far more then I'd like to admit.. Anyways Yume's opinion. She hates Azul. Despises him, Riddle had told her he holds Azul's talent and capabilities in high regard, but he doesn't trust him. She.. trusts in Riddle's judgment. She recalls the words Azul muttered to himself during orientation and while she hadn't said anything during then because of those twins, she doesn't like Azul one bit. After book three while she feels bad for him but she doesn't quite understand? Bullying..? Such words were never mentioned in her books and Riddle never taught her about those subjects, she'll find herself studying up on the subjects of course and her hatred will eventually turn to simply wishing to keep Azul away from Riddle.
Floyd Leech: Okay. Floyd. He's not my favorite okay? But simply because I relate to him far too much then I would like to say. He's cute sometimes sure, but I feel like I wouldn't enjoy to be around him.. Atleast though his emotions are quite obvious because he doesn't hold how he feels back. Onto Yume's opinion. She hates him despises him. She's seen how he treats Riddle and Riddle has told her that she should stay away from him if she can, so she usually follows his advice but even so Floyd is quite annoying he always bothers her asking her why "goldfish allows her to hug him while Goldfish always runs away from him" she then goes on to tell him that Riddle's name is Riddle not goldfish but then he goes on to laugh and say "koifishie is defending her leader" proceeding to try and squeeze her luckily she always slips away before he could but still..
Floyd calls Yume koifish I'll write it here so I don't forget but anyways. Allow me to explain Floyd usually calls Yuu shrimpy but thats because of the personality traits they have, while Yume holds none of those personality traits that yuu has, everyone knows how Yume acts and everyone saw Yume clinging onto Riddle during orientation. So Floyd calls Yume koifish because she has the personality of a follower Koifish, which you guys can search up if you'd like..
Scarabia !𓆗
Kalim Al Asim: I'll be honest here, both dorms Scarabia and Savanaclaw are both difficult, I would say both of these dorm books are my least favorite. I know that Kalim is my favorite from this dorm, but I don't really have information on why? We interact with Kalim and Jamil so often in book four so it would make sense to have a read on them but I simply can't. Majority of the info we get is Jamil faking his whole personality and Kalim being under mind controll when everything is done its done yes, but that doesn't take back the fact we got practically no emotional impact from them we get Jamil's backstory yeah, but like.. nothing on Kalim. Chapter five we get a bit more info on Kalim but.. Nothing emotionally compelling for me to consider him as anything. Yumes opinion. This is difficult she absolutely can't get a read on Kalim his emotions are all over his face but she understands none of them she has no reason to dislike him, and even during book four she doesn't dislike him. He's hyper but not hyper to the point shes uncomfortable so he gets a pass.
Jamil Viper: I'm scared to give my opinion to be completely honest. But I shall. He.. isn't characteristically interesting I have no reason to like him. He has backstory correct but, that simply gives us his past it doesn't excuse his actions of manipulating us and mindcontrolling us, Kalim forgave Jamil far too quickly in my opinion. I feel like Jamil simply doesn't get the growth after his overblot sadly. And I understand, he had reasons. But. Okay.. allow me to explain. Kalims relationship with Jamil is like. Kalims family is the owners of Jamil's. But Jamil targets Kalim because hes the easiest to target because the actual ones who deserve to be targeted are too hard to target Kalim is quite a few things correct. But. Book four feels like I can't put my tongue on it but a situation that instead of going to the root of the problem you decide to go to the lesser problem which solves nothing except giving you atleast something that makes you feel like your doing something while doing nothing. Not to mention I feel like book four Jamil's thoughts made zero sense hes meant to be smart though.? Jamil wouldn't be given the freedom if Kalim was kicked out of the school he would need to return back with Kalim, and if Kalim truly had done something bad Jamil would be blamed for not stopping him and then his family would be getting in trouble. It simply does more harm then good, I'm not saying Kalim's family is correct I would never say that, I'm saying its idiotic to blame the one who didn't create the problem because that then causes more harm then good. I'll stop writing about Jamil for me because some of this simply may be wrong considering I might not understand his character its just coming from the opinion of the information that we have in the story that I don't have to dig in events or vignettes to get. Onto Yume's opinion. She's suspicious of him she recalls Kalim's almost slip of tongue in book two and has since been suspicious on Jamil. In book four she wasn't happy with having to be in the situation and she most certainly isn't happy when Jamil overblots. She prefers Kalim over Jamil if she had to choose.
Pomefiore !
Vil Schoenheit: I will admit, Vil is pretty but. Thats it. His personality? Is fine. I enjoy it. But other then that hes my favorite in Pomefiore yes, but I'll say it I'll admit it! Neige is my favorite. Listen listen, I always find myself enjoying the side characters more then the main characters well hopefully Neige won't be a side character for much longer but he currently sadly is.. That also means he won't be put in a ranking I'm only currently ranking the playable characters minus the teachers. But anyways so yeah, I already have a bias and Vil is high like high like he is a favorite character even outside of Pomefiore. Well onto Yume. She meets Vil in book two because I'll simply give this away while I haven't wrote for it, I know I plan to make her join the housewarden meeting so they meet there, but after that she doesn't meet him until book five. Her opinion of him.. I'll be honest it probably won't be the best, their mindsets of how to treat guests are completely different lets just say. Not to mention unlike me, Yume doesn't care how people look she doesn't care that Vil is pretty or not atleast thats what I currently believe she is like so no bia's for Vil I suppose.
Epel Felmier: Epel.. Okay so! Listen. I like him, I knew like first glance that he was a man because you know I'm just good like that. He's handsome, I suppose? But hes misogynistic and only until later down the road does he like you know get better because of Vil. But I mean.. I don't really recall how he behaved I would have to go back and read a couple more stuff but like I am fond of him, he is also just like Vil a favorite outside of Pomefiore. Well Yume's opinion now. She saw him in book one, they hadn't spoke then and then they only see each other once more in book five. I don't believe Yume knows anything about the words of Epel like how he is misogynistic like.. I don't believe the books she used to have had anything of the word misogynistic so because she doesn't know and like never met anyone her assumption is that hes simply different like how those books told her how everyone's personality can be different she just assumes thats how Epel is. So she's fine with him, she personally doesn't enjoy his loudness when he gets rowdy but shes fine with him.
Rook Hunt: Rook.. I relate to you so much we both are fans of Neige and Vil. But thats it. I have no reason to have an actual opinion on Rook. We get more interactions with Epel in book five and six then Rook. I enjoy his personality sure but hes not even in that many events and the ones that he are in hes not the main focus so I once again can't truly have something to cling on. Hes not a favorite sadly but luckily I also don't hate him, I simply can't have a true opinion on him from how much content we get of him hes of similar case to Kalim. Yume's opinion, In the prelude while I hadn't included it because Yume hadn't, Rook was stalking her she knows Rook was stalking her but she in turns thinks nothing of it and it'll never be mentioned on her part because its not important enough to note for her. To her Rook isn't important. When they meet in book two she doesn't speak to him, and in book five and six they barely speak to each other. She also doesn't quite understand his words, or his rambles she tolerates him at best.
Ignihyde !모
Idia Shroud: Idia.. Is a favorite hes so cute and cool. But thats it. He has deep lore yes. But thats lore. For his case I like him hes a favorite, but I personally don't have in depth opinion of the boy. Yume.. This is tough. I don't quite wish to spoil anything because he'll be having extra scenes before book six, but her opinion of him is fondness. They sadly aren't close on Idia's part, but if he went outside or to housewarden meetings in person then he would be sitting next to Yume whose sitting next to Riddle for what reason exactly? Well.. while Malleus still exists I can't exactly make make Idia take his place.. But.. lets just say alchemy vignette. Idia's. Because its good for Yume to have friends that aren't just Riddle Ace and Deuce. Because if its not obvious those are clearly her only friends well.. in this section maybe in diasomnia she'll have more.
Ortho Shroud: Ortho, is cute. I mean hes not favorite favorite but hes cute. I don't share the same opinion that others have of thinking of him as my little brother or son, but hes cute I suppose similar to a puppy. But. Once more character speaking hes not interesting maybe he'll be interesting in book seven but I skipped majority of the story that included Malleus in it, I'll probably go back when this plot goes close to book seven. Yume's opinion. She's not close to Ortho, even though shes close to Idia she simply isn't the same with Ortho my goodness its the whole Riddle and Trey situation all over again.. But this time its simply because while shes fine with Ortho she doesn't go out of her way to hang out with him. If its not obvious Ace and Deuce along with Grim are usually always the ones speaking to the freshmen group not her. Although.. Ortho is quite helpful shes able to meet Idia sometimes because of Ortho.
Diasomnia !⚡︎
Silver: Silver is my fav like fav but.. everyone in Diasomnia is my fav. Except Malleus. Book seven just simply amplified my feelings for Silver I truly wish that Yuu and Silver got the kiss scene in book seven but alas. Wait. No.. no I shouldn't I'm not planning on writing romance in the fanfic Yume and Silver shouldn't kiss.. Maybe I'll write a short oneshot of Silver and reader kissing in book seven. Probably not. Anyways back onto Silver the whole book was just chiefs kiss, I love Silver so much but he sadly doesn't beat the side characters. Anyways onto Yume. I haven't.. thought about it. I imagine that they shall eventually become friends, and their might be a chance they become friends sooner then in book seven merely because of Riddle. Yume's opinion of Silver is that shes fond of him. I imagine that I'll make tiny extras together of Yume running into Silver asleep, but sadly they aren't anywhere close to them kissing so my dreams of Silver kissing a version of Yuu in book seven has gone down the drain well that and because Yume isn't healthy Silver would deserve better. Final verdict Yume likes Silver.
Sebek Zigvolt: The people who know me, know that I love Sebek. I have dedicated multiple times of explanations of why Sebek doesn't deserve all the hate he gets and all those allegations. I will not go into depth once again. I love him hes a favorite hes cute I'm fine with his shouting. I simply wish he allowed his hair to stay down and to not speak of Malleus so frequently and instead speak of himself but alas.. Malleus forsakens me.. Yume's opinion. At the beginning she hated how loud he was, and how often he spoke of Malleus she still hates when he speaks of Malleus, but she will grow used to it I would say that in the freshmen group outside of Ace and eventually Deuce she'll be close to Sebek the most. She likes him.
Lilia Vanrouge: I love Lilia as well, hes a cute Lil fae. My final verdict is I like him. He's a favorite, but I wish that he would give Malleus a bit of boundaries that Halloween event was completely uncool. Yume's opinion. I'll be honest sadly, Yume doesn't have a fond opinion of Lilia. Its similar to Trey both Trey and Lilia act as familiar people with Trey acting as a older brother and Lilia having that security of a father. She's uncomfortable with beings such as that because the only family she had was her mother, and she doesn't understand they aren't her mother, they don't act similar to her mother but they seem similar to her mother because, her mother is family and they act as people that are father and brother, but she has no family but her mother, so anything that acts similar to that is bad because she doesn't know that their can be anything else in her family but her mother. And the difference between them and Riddle is the fact Riddle reminds her of her mother but hes warm and not suffocating and not to mention isn't similar to a family bond for her, like Riddle doesn't act as a father or sibling towards her so while he reminds her of her mother he simply doesn't act as someone that is part of a family bond. Trey and Lilia both are similar to a family bond which, makes her uncomfortable while not understanding why because like I said before she doesn't know anything about people being fathers or brothers. Cater is also similar but she doesn't notice because she has more reasons of uncomfortableness with him while with Trey and Lilia its simply the family bond. If Trey didn't give the embrace of an older brother and Lilia didn't have the feeling of a father she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Malleus Draconia: Malleus.. I hate this guy. Hate hate him. Why must Yuu choose to be so close to him? Why are we forced to be close to him? He shows up in what? Book two.? Why so early huh? Book seven is your book not two.. We act closer with Malleus on the second time of meeting him, while with Ace and Deuce we actually saw their bond form with Malleus he doesn't give us his name! He doesn't give us the choice of deciding if we can like him with knowing who his identity or not. He makes the choice himself deciding that if we don't know his identity then we would have no reason to dislike him. Then Yuu tells him he can continue visiting the dorm once again we have no idea who this man is we just know hes a student. Not to mention! We tell him our name. I'm already upset writing this but I shall continue. The Halloween event, the whole thing was upsetting final verdict I hate Malleus despise him I have to skip the story when it involves him that's how much I hate the guy, but oh. Since I'm a writer I have to write him in. I hope no one expects for this man to get extra scenes. He already is given enough by the story. Gets more screentime then characters we actually know. Smh. Onto Yume's opinion how great.. She just like me hates the guy. When they first met and he refused to share his name she was upset but she kept her smile on her face her, sadly she doesn't know that people can lie about their names or the saying stranger danger so she told him her name he was then like the whole since people live in the dorm he can't come unlike Yuu, she doesn't tell him he can continue coming she simply says okay and and then leaves he took that as he could return because you know.. hes simply like that. When they meet in book five she gives him tickets not because she wished to but Riddle had been teaching her about being kind to people so she had given Malleus a ticket because she had seen him she unlike Yuu, doesn't give Malleus a name and when she finds out his name she simply calls him Malleus. Throughout all of the books her opinion of him doesn't change I believe in book seven it may get even worse.
Ramshackle !𓉸
Rollo Flamme: Rollo.. my reason my muse. I love Rollo the most hes my most favorite with Skully, Neige Chenya behind him. I mean his desire to get rid of magic was wonderful and we both share the same dislike for Malleus his voice is so wonderful I love him so much. Yume. Well.. I'm still trying to figure out if I'll be adding the events but I sadly don't believe I will. Maybe for like following goals.. But anyways this is her opinion if I were to add events. She.. doesn't quite understand his goal or reasoning, but. He's nice to her. She likes him and it would be better if Riddle liked him as well but he sadly doesn't. So that effects some of her final judgment to Rollo.
Skully J. Graves: Skully, I love him as well, I can't wait to be able to fully max out his card just as I had with Rollo. I'm sad that everyone forgot him and that hes dead but anyways.. Yume's opinion.. is.. well. "Who?" I mean she of course would forget Skully so she wouldn't recall any opinion she formed of him but here I am I recall. Skully and her were close, during this event she sadly wasn't able to be around Riddle or Idia that often but she was around Skully, so they of course grew close. She liked him but was uncomfortable with how much he spoke of Halloween which she had no clue even existed back in her world.. She decided she wouldn't ever tell him that fact. Final verdict they could've been friends they could've been close, but not enough time was given for the both of them.
Grim: him.. okay so like.. I for the longest time, didn't like Grim he reminds me of Paimon with how loud and how much he speaks. He's not my baby. I tolerate him on a good day. On a bad day I'll skip his dialog. But because of a fanfic I grew to be fine with him so.. yeah! Yume. Ah.. this is tough. She doesn't like him. Currently she is tolerating him but he burnt her! So.. not a good impression. She has as I've said before has no reason to like him and won't have any until far down the line, she'll take care of him yes she'll go to rescue him yeah. But she thinks of him as a nuisance. Grim of course won't notice anything about that but yeah she won't be liking him anytime soon. But she enjoys and finds some comfort in his warmth she never had something for so long so eventually after many learning lessons she'll learn to like Grim along with Deuce but I wonder who she'll like first Grim or Deuce?
PRELUDE; The starting
synopsis. Yume, appears inside a coffin in Twisted wonderland, after having gotten into a argument of conflict with her mother and leaving the cage of her house; this is the first time she is outside of her cocoon, she knows little of the outside world all her knowledge being books but, none of her books taught her of Twisted wonderland, she shall face difficult challenges as she tries to return home.
- Warning: Controlling & Overbearing, Emotionally Stifling, Gaslighting & Guilt-tripping, Child abuse, severe burns
masterlist . . . prelude |
She sits on the floor in front of her book corner immersed in the books of the outside; the light of the stars shining through her window, she wonders to herself how it would be to experience the sensation of the brown leafs of the fall, falling on her face, and how it would feel to spend time with her mother outside maybe playing at the park like those books show. .
Though she has long since given up on those dreams of the outside world they shall always stay as her dreams never to breach outside of her thoughts; she always hated how sad and disappointed her mother had looked when she was merely a child and had dared to repeatedly ask about going outside with her. But shes older now, she knows how her mother only cares for her and furthermore her mother is far more knowledgeable about the outside world then her; who has never been outside.
The clock ticks onto seven pm and she swiftly closes all her books prior to standing up and putting them all into their correct placement, then she leaves her room and goes downstairs to set up the table just as she finishes setting up the table she sits down in her seat and her mother brings out their food before sitting down in the chair across from her and they eat together like always.
“Yume.”
She freezes for a moment at the sound of her mothers calm and suffocating yet sweet and gentle voice and she glances up from the dinner and her expression relaxes into her smile and she speaks softly her hands clasped together on her lap.
“Yes, mother.?”
Her mother stares at her before smiling it feels suffocating and yet so comforting to Yume but, when her mother speaks once more she freezes not at her mothers voice but at her mothers words.
“We should get rid of those stifling books. I feel as if they only upset you, and they aren't good for your health.”
Yume sits motionless for a moment and her shoulders tense up, and she goes to protest for a moment but before; she could her mother continues.
“How about I instead get you a fish tank? When you were a child you always told me how much you wanted one.”
Her mother continues speaking with a smile on her face and Yume's hands clutch together in front of her chest it hurts and she shakes her head her voice quietly and trembling; her quiet voice is drowned out by her mothers happiness until, it is blocked out entirely..
“N-no.. I.. don't.. mother.. please.. I don't want that.. I don't want to get rid of them..”
She stares at her fish tank, that took the place of her book corner and watches the aquatic plants; her mother had told her that because the outside world was so dangerous she had been worried that if she brought fishes they might somehow infect her daughter, because they would be from the outside world. Even so she found herself having gotten attached to those aquatic plants, she thinks to herself as she rests her hand against the tank and tracing against the glass with her finger imagining what she believes fishes look like swimming in the tank around the aquatic plants.
Her mother knocks on her door before coming inside with a tray of fruit and tea then setting the tray down on her desk; and walking over to her and running her fingers through her hair and braiding it gently with care before speaking with a voice of love and cherish as well as a suffocating concern.
“I have been thinking Yume.. how about we get rid of this fish tank?.. This fish tank has made it so, you haven't even left your room and you know that's not good for your health, so how about your mother makes you, your favorite dinner tonight instead and we get rid of this.?”
She tenses up and shakes her head quickly and she sobs turning around to face her mother her hands instinctively clutching together at her chest and she speaks quickly and all jumbled up full of sobs and stutters.
“No! I mean.. Mother.. I.. I.. really like the fish tank that you got me please.. please don't get rid of it..!”
She musters up the courage to speak in the loudest voice she can muster up in the presence of her mother but before she could even acknowledge what she had just done her mother slaps her with a look of hurt on her face; she freezes and her mother also freezes then her hands go up in front of her mouth and she quickly speaks her hands moving in front of her chest her voice wobbly tears falling from her eyes.
“Ah.. wait!.. Yume.. You.. you know.. I didn't mean to hurt you..! I'm so sorry.. Don't.! No.. please don't leave Yume.. Your mother is so sorry you know your mother didn't mean to!..”
Before she can bring herself to listen to anymore of her mother's suffocating words she runs out of her room, she runs out of the cocoon of their house that she stayed put in for her whole life and had warmly embraced; but before she can get far and watch through her jumbled up mind, the beautiful sights of being in the outside world the feeling of the wind breeze brushing against her and undoing the braid her mother never got finished braiding; she hears the sounds of horses and she freezes, before turning to look and the next thing she sees is a carriage with horses then her vision goes black.
When she awakens she wakes up scared and terrified in a coffin a bit dazed and her memories all tangled up but she pushes her hands gently to try push and shove against the top but she stops eventually knowing that she isn't strong enough not to mention shes quite frail something her mother warned her of and what she experienced quite often as a child; so instead she softly speaks her voice muffled and her chest hurting as if shes being suffocated but she hopes her mother comes to her like a savior like she does every time she had gotten injured as a child because she is delicate and fragile and as a child knew no better.
“Where..? Am I..?”
She lets out a soft and muffled sob when she recalls what happened how she had ran away from the safety of her cocoon because her mother hurt her is this..? Perhaps the outside world that her mother had warned her about so many times? Multiple thoughts run through her head but before she can even make out a coherent thought she hears a grating little voice it causes her to freeze.
“Stupid lid.. Try this on for size! Mya-Ha!”
She feels a new sensation the feeling of hot boiling warmth of blue flames sneaking into the coffin and she quickly moves both of her arms to in front of her face blocking the flames from burning her face, the lid blasts open from the fire but the clothes that she only just noticed was on her, catches on fire and she falls out from the coffin landing on the ground her arms hurt but luckily the landing had put out the fire so she runs away; not noticing underneath the robes the flames had gotten to her skin and her arms are now covered in blisters and are swelling while melting and the thing yells while she runs.
“Wha- You ain't supposed to be awake gimme your robes!”
She runs and runs as the thing follows her; her chest hurts so much and everywhere is so unfamiliar to her nothing seems like those books that she had read what even is that thing chasing her, It has ears that hold blue flames and it keeps on speaking as well as spitting out those hurtful blue flames. She runs into a courtyard the thing is luckily far behind her so she crawls into some bushes and as soon as shes far up the thing runs in the next direction and the moment its far out of sight; soft sobs escape her lips and her arms wrap around her legs and she pushes her head into her knees trembling and her thoughts are a warp pool; Where am I? My mother. She must be so worried. She didn't mean to hurt me. why didn't I just.. listen to her.? My chest hurts so much.. its hard to breathe.. I've never even been outside, why did I run? Was.. I simply just tired from everything..?
She's left with her thoughts for what feels like ages before she once more hears a voice it sounds crisp and authoritative but for her it sounds softer, sweeter, and more gentle his voice is similar to her mothers voice but not suffocating and that makes her slowly peeks her head out to see him his hair was red; it reminds her of those red roses with thorns she had seen her mother grow outside of her bedroom window, and his eyes are gray but stern even though his eyes are doe-like eyed he has soft features, but his expression is stern and clearly a bit upset similar to her mothers he even carries himself similarly to her but yet.. she stops herself shaking her head as she hears his voice actually coming closer and his voice is level toned but authoritative with some tone of worry.
“Ace Trappola! Epel Felmier! Where are you? I can't believe this. They both just disappeared from orientation? I hope there wasn't some sort of problem. But I will say this… If it turns out they are merely playing truant, my judgment will be swift and merciless.”
When he moves to continue walking she stands up and moves to go after him but her chest hurts and all the warnings that her mother had always given her makes her stop but he spots her and he swiftly turns back around and goes straight to her with his fists clenched at his sides as he quickly walks at her.
“You stop right there-”
The boy falters for a moment at the Improper sight of the ceremony robes they're messed up completely not to mention the hood is off the individual's long hair spilling out in strands around them and their glassy violet eyes as if they had been crying; while to any person can tell its pitiful and if Trey was here in place of him he'd no doubt try to comfort this individual, but no mercy should be spared on troublemakers just because of appearances especially one of this much offense. He draws his magic pen from his pocket to administer punishment; but he spots something. The ceremony robes sleeves are complete and utterly burnt he can see the individual's skin that shows clear signs of first burn to almost second burn and he swiftly walks closer and pulls the individual out from the bushes and over to him and he speaks.
“How in the world did you your ceremony robes get burnt, especially your arms.. Were you playing with magic as troublemakers like you do.?”
She looks at him blinking once and twice looking at him in the eyes in astonishment but she sees hes paying no attention to her his whole attention is to her arms and his pen that hes holding has a gem but she notices somehow the burns are disappearing she doesn't notice how the slap she had received from her mother had also disappeared, but she quietly finally speaks confused and scared.
“Magic..? What is.. that. I.. All I know is that I had woke up in a coffin and then the next thing I knew is fire breaking it open and then a thing standing in front of it before I ran away from it and arrived here..”
He only turns up to look at the individual when the burn is completely and utterly healed and he stares at them with a upset look he can barely tolerate those who speak quiet and with stutters but now this individual is trying to trick him he speaks in his crisp tone, getting upset.
“So your excuse is fire broke open your gate and a “thing” was outside your gate? If that was the case why didn't you get a vice dormwarden or a staff member. Not to mention “what is magic.?” Anyone in Twisted wonderland should know what magic is, why must you troublemakers lie to me.. Feigned negligence will not save you from punishment.”
He of course doesn't believe this individual but as a negligent queen he should at least give this individual a benefit of the doubt so he activates a detection spell while scolding them but what arrives makes him surprised.
He can't sense a single trace of magic from this individual hes surprised.. Even new born children have a trace of magic so he stares at the person who is clearly on the verge of tears and he really stares at them he thinks back to how their voice sounded it was soft yes but the pitch is a pitch no male could replicate or have not to mention she doesn't have an adam's apple on her throat; with certain certainty standing before him is a lady his mind is completely all jumbled up currently his mind reeling it makes it worse when she speaks again because shes crying and sniffling now.
“I.. don't know how I came to be here, I had just ran away from my mother because we had gotten into an argument and I just.. wish to return back to her.”
She sobs her hands falling onto his chest and her head falling against his chest and she cries into his robes as hes completely lost his mother never told him how to deal with subjects like this no books have ever told him what to do. Not to mention he still haven't found those two students, and the orientation might be over; it would be against every principle to be late to guiding his new freshmen so he softly huffs to himself before clearing his throat.
“I apologize to how I had treated you before, I made a severe mistake in my judgment and had assumed you to be violating the school regulations.”
He glances at the sobbing girl wondering if she would be stopping this indecency but considering she hasn't he simply continues speaking.
“Once more, I apologize for the unwarranted treatment I truly, didn't mean any of it. If you accept I can help you with your current situation.”
He speaks even toned so the issue can be resolved quickly and swiftly before conflicts arise, but they are also meant for comfort for the girl but now he's wondering how he should bring up the question of where is that thing she had mentioned before that had blew the gate open; the more he looks at her the more he can see the tell tales of her clearly having being in the midst of a panic and anxiety attack not to mention he's quite uncomfortable around her. Before because he wasn't thinking with a clear mindset he hadn't noticed, but now he can see the similarities and how she reminds him of his mother except it seems as if she can break at the moment of the slightest touch; while his mother isn't like that he shakes off those thoughts and speaks once more.
“My name is Riddle Rosehearts the dormwarden of Heartslabyul it is only polite to share your name with me as well correct.?”
She takes a few deep breathes breathing in the scent of baked goods roses and tea coming from his person before she finally calms down and she slowly pulls away from him but shes still far too close if you'd ask him; but she looks up at him.
“My name..? Ah.. Its Yume. Its a pleasure to meet you Riddle.”
She says before for a brief moment she smiles she has no clear concept of subjects like boundaries or whatnot and this is the first person who she has met in the outside world hes so kind and gentle, not to mention he reminds her of her mother except his presence isn't suffocating so she can trust him she thinks to herself before looking up at him and nodding her hands moving in front of her chest clutched together as she speaks.
“Also.. yes I would be happy if your willing to help me.”
He nods and speaks “Very well then, follow me.” He swiftly turns around and begins walking back to the orientation while he didn't find those two he now has a more important matter to deal with this lady named Yume.
As he walks he sees Yume walking a bit further behind and he has a tight schedule to meet he cannot be late so against chivalry he reaches out his hand and grabs onto her hand leading her to the sorting ceremony, when they come in he looks around the dark mirror chamber to see where headmaster Crowley is but disappointingly he can't find him so he huffs to himself and brings her to the heartslabyul area before walking towards Trey and Cater he had told Trey to watch over the new dorm students while he had gone looking for the two boys so he looks over at Trey who along with Cater have surprised looks on their faces at the sight of him holding a students hand with the two missing students in sight, but he pays no mind to that he instead speaks.
“Where did the headmaster go.? Orientation should almost be over correct.?”
He asks Trey but for the next few minutes by now orientation is completely over every student has officially been sorted into a dorm but Trey stays quiet reeling from the surprise he only moved to speak when Cater nudges him because the signs of Riddle getting impatient from how long it was taking for a response were beginning to show on his face, but the moment Trey begins to speak the doors are shoved open with Crowley speaking loudly in a croak which makes Yume tense up in surprise and her fingers dig into Riddle's hand as she moves a bit closer to him.
“I most certainly did not!”
Riddle frowns at that but turns to look at Crowley “Ah, speak of the devil.” he mutters to himself the face of impatience disappearing from face as Crowley continues to speak.
“If you must know, I was searching for the new student who'd failed to show for orientation. But sadly I didn't find him.”
Yume looks towards Riddle as he huffs and pulls her along with him as he walks with her over to Crowley and begins to speak.
“Yes, I know exactly who you mean I found her but-”
Before Riddle could even continue speaking Crowley interrupts him with a chirp, and grabs onto Yume's now trembling shoulders at the touch of this stranger.
“Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students? My, were you ever eager to make your debut. Now you are the only one who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it.”
She freezes as he turns her around and pushes her to the mirror and she tries to refuse; but she knows how fragile she is he does not, if he squeezes her shoulders too tightly he'll leave bruises so she shouldn't struggle or it would hurt her so she decides to go to the thing called the dark mirror as behind her Riddle shakes his head, rubbing his forehead and muttering to himself about the headmaster being a headache and not listening to him but he follows behind Yume not going up to the Dark Mirror but so he can be beside her for the verdict he has a feeling when word gets out shes magic less Crowley will try to interrogate her so he needs to set the record straight.
The dark mirror speaks
“State your name.”
She freezes in surprise she's never heard a mirror speak before or have a face so she turns her head slightly to glance at Riddle in concern believing that if he has no sign of concern neither should she luckily for her, he nods his head as if he understands her concern and gestures for her to continue so she turns back around and speaks.
“My name.. is Yume..”
She says with her hands reflexively grasping together in front of her chest and she flinches back and tenses up as the mirror lights up and begins talking once more.
“Yume.. The nature of your soul is... unclear to me.”
The moment the dark mirror seems like its stopped talking she quickly moves back down the stairs and next to Riddle once more grabbing onto his hand while mutters of chatter go around the orientation Crowley looks quite surprised and then speaks confused and nervous. “What did you say..?”
The dark mirror speaks once again as chatter gets louder and Riddle has an upset look on his face when he spots new members from his dorm doing the same which is an utter distraction from orientation but nonetheless he'll punish them later..
“I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate.”
The dark mirror says before the green flame with a face completely disappears and Crowley mutters to himself croaking quietly.
“Are you suggesting that the black carriage went to receive a person who cannot even use magic? But that is absurd! The student selection process has not erred once in its century of existence! How could this have happened?”
Riddle sighs to himself and turns to look at the muttering Headmaster and gestures to him with Yume still clinging on him and he speaks.
“If you had listened to me, I could've told you that Yume; isn't meant to be here shes first of all, magic less completely so I don't believe shes even from this world but that is a assumption on my part, and not to mention shes a lady.”
Riddle sends a glance to Yume as he speaks but the moment he says shes a lady everyone has a expression of surprise on their face and the chatter just gets louder and Crowley croaks to himself quietly; before opening his mouth to speak but before he could on the top of the glass roof in jumps a cat the glass falls as he lands on the spot Yume was just at with him shouting and his paw on his chest.
“"Hey! Let me in! I'm a sorcerer extraordinaire! If you let me take that human's place as a student, I'll show you what real power looks like!”
The moment she spots the thing she shoves her face into Riddles chest tensing up for a moment her hands digging into his chest before softly whispering to him quietly whose face turns a tint of red, it was one thing outside in the courtyard with no one around but its a complete other thing in a public setting especially with that Floyd in the same room but, he'll ignore that so he can focus on her as she begins speaking considering the fact shes a quiet speaker he has to listen closely even though he can hardly hear anything with the cat being so loud.
“That.. is the thing that was outside the gate..”
Riddle is against his normal composure distracted with Yume telling him new information; that by the time shes done speaking blue flames are around the cat having been agitated by other students remarks and now Crowley is shouting out commands, he'll need to correct such behaviors of himself on a later date.
“Someone! Capture that tanuki!”
Riddle hears the sounds of Kalim chiming in “Huh, capturing him already?” then he hears that twin Floyd.. “Hm? Azu~l?” Before Jade adds on to his twins conversation. “Honestly, at a time like this. Where could he have gotten to?” Lastly Idia speaks through his tablet. “There it is, a cheat for boosting his grades.”
Thats when he spots Azul swiftly going over to Crowley and speaking with a hand on his chest and a smirk.
“What do you think? For everyone’s sake, I will–”
Before Azul can continue Riddle after handing Yume over, to Trey and Cater and telling Yume to stay with them for the time being and then telling Trey to watch her; he then goes towards the direction of the cat and pulls out his magic pen and strictly speaks.
“Furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking. You will be judged by my hand.”
She watches Riddle chase after that thing with the boy she believes is Azul? Hm.. can she really call that a thing? Riddle had just called it a furry miscreant.. she stops thinking because, the boy that Riddle told to watch over her places his hand on her shoulder and she tenses up and moves away from his touch before turning; to look at him he has a smile on his face but she spots a look of surprise before it disappeared and he speaks.
“I know your worried for Riddle but hes quite strong so you don't need to worry. Oh yeah, before I forget I'm Trey Clover and this is Cater Diamond we're both juniors and I'm the vice dormwarden of Heartslabyul your Yume correct.?”
Trey speaks with a smile but shes not quite comfortable with him or Cater so she stays silent simply nodding before Cater speaks chirping.
“But Cater is fine. Or Cay-Cay if you're cray-cray!”
She glances at Cater and nods before swiftly turning back around and watching Riddle the worry clear still on her face and Cater and Trey look at each other but soon enough her eyes brighten a bit when Riddle shouts at the creature swinging his magic pen.
“Off with your head!”
A heart-shaped collar clicked shut around the creature's neck and when it tries to blow flames but can't she quickly rushes away from Trey and Cater and grabs a hold of Riddle again while he is distracted with telling the cat hes now but a cat until hes off of campus so she takes the chance to examine him making sure he has no wounds on his person but behind the two Azul speaks and her eyes go to him and she stares at him for a moment before glancing away when two tall student's who look the same go over to him.
“Ha-HA! Good show as always, Riddle. You're signature spell locks down any magic. It's quite handy. I've just GOT to have it—ah, I mean, I've just got to have respect for it.”
Crowley grabs the cat and walks away with it to bring it off of campus and Yume is still examining Riddle except now his focus is on her instead of the cat and she softly speaks tilting her head.
“Are you.. hurt..? I.. That fire is quite painful and strong as well..”
She speaks of concern for Riddle and her hands moving to examine his robes in case the flames may have burnt him, but now everyone is watching the whole thing go on because headmaster dismissed no one; and Riddle proceeds to turn fully flushed before snapping and swiftly speaking sternly.
“Has no one ever taught you boundaries may you.. stop getting so close to me, or you will not go unpunished..”
He says before Trey and Cater walk over with Trey trying to calm him down and reassure him because hes getting more upset.
“Calm down Riddle I'm sure that shes just concerned for you, the whole time you were chasing after that cat she had been watching you so its simply concern.”
Cater joins in. “Yeah! Isn't it cute how this cutie cares about you, even though your totally strong.”
Riddle takes a deep breath ignoring Cater but listening to Trey and just sighs allowing Yume to continue until she sees nothing is wrong but when she does she looks at him with a frown. She is about to continue but Crowley returns speaking cheerful.
“Well, that was quite the unexpected fracas. I hereby declare that orientation has concluded. House wardens, please escort your students back to the dorms-”
He stops short when he spots Yume and coughs loudly. “Ahem.. Sadly you will not be able to stay at this academy but go to the Dark Mirror it shall bring you home.” He gestures ahead.
Yume stares at Crowley for a moment before looking at Riddle and then recalling strange strangers are around she turns red and uncomfortable at having just spoken to Riddle that way in front of so many peoples, they had just met today after all so she swiftly turns around and goes over to the dark mirror but the moment she draws close it speaks.
“There is no place in this world where this soul belongs.”
She freezes blinking multiple times at those words and her hands instinctively moving clutching at each other Riddle and everyone else looks surprised shocked even since while Riddle had a suspicion he hadn't expected it to be confirmed and then Crowley speaks.
“This has never happened throughout my long tenure. I must confess that I am at something of a loss. Tell me: From what land do you hail?”
Yume looks at Crowley for a moment staring at him before quietly huffing to herself and looking away from him staying silent she doesn't feel the ounce of comfort with him considering how he had grabbed onto her shoulders so tightly earlier, he twitches and speaks again.
“What land do you hail from..?”
She turns around and heads back over to Riddle whose quickly shaking his head and sighing to himself he has a feeling this will be a tiring year.
She recalls a memory from her mother from when she was a child, she had told her that if she ever met anyone to stay quiet and never speak to them unless she gave her permission to; Riddle.. Should be an okay person correct.? This is Twisted wonderland her mother isn't here.. so Riddle could take the place of her mothers permission correct.? Those thoughts are what run through her head but then when she really thought about it, she couldn't possibly force a person to watch over her this is the outside world while not the one from her world she should try to experience speaking to people since she had only ever spoken to her mother and Riddle so she grabs onto Riddle's hand using both of her hands clutching it before turning her head to look at Crowley.
“I.. Apologize, but.. I sadly don't know the land that I hail from. My mother had never told me the name of it I simply knew that I lived in my home.”
She speaks which causes a lot of head tilts of confusion even Riddle but he can tell she truly means what she says having even though only meeting her an hour ago she is easy to read, and Crowley croaks in surprise.
“You.. don't know where you hail from..? I find that quite hard to believe, are you perhaps saying that simply so you won't have to return home.”
She freezes her nails beginning to dig into Riddles hand but not hard and she fidgets looking at Riddle to see if he believes her and he nods his head and gestures with his free hand for her to continue so she speaks.
“I.. wish to return home more then anything more.. do you have any idea how worried my mother most definitely is.? Imagine if your child had just up and disappeared off the face of the world..”
She bites back a sob but she breaks down falling onto her knees in front of Riddle her hands letting go of Riddle's hand so he wouldn't fall with her.
“I had ran out of the house just an hour or so ago and she was chasing after me but the next thing I see is horses and a carriage going towards me, and my mother was most likely chasing after me but then I ended up here so that means I had disappeared out of no where from her eyes..! Of course I would love to go home..”
Riddle watches as she cries out sobbing and everyone is just looking at her and then Leona huffs and snaps his hand on his forehead. “Look at what you did, you dumb crow now the girl is crying great what a nuisance.” Kalim speaks after him. “Headmaster, its not nice to make a girl cry..” Jade brings out a chuckle and speaks as well his hand moving under his smirk. “my, my. Look at that Floyd the headmaster made a lady cry how rude.” Azul smiles and places his hand on his chest. “Now, now everyone I'm sure he didn't mean to make a lady cry right headmaster Crowley.?”
Crowley is now sweating as everyone is practically ganging up on him currently and he croaks quickly trying to resolve this.
“Of course not.! Ms.. Yume I believe you, of course its just simply troublesome to not know the location of research I'll have to learn.. do you have anything on you that could help perhaps..? Like identification a phone or Id.?”
Yume stops crying slowly as Riddle kneels down and wipes her tears away with a handkerchief before she slowly gets up when hes done and she grabs onto Riddle once again.
“I apologize.. for crying but may I ask, what exactly are those things..? All the books I've read have never mentioned such things as a phone or id.. Nor do I have any..”
She nervously looks at Riddle and he huffs to himself the headache once again coming back to him and he puts his free hand on his forehead before looking at Crowley.
“I apologize Headmaster Crowley but may we please leave now.? We have a very strict schedule to follow and, this orientation has already cut into the time us dormwardens should have given our new students a tour.”
Yume freezes and looks at Riddle while she has just met him this place is completely new to her while its a new world yes but, she has never been outside of her warm cocoon of her house and hes the first person she met but; he undoubtedly will be leaving because he had said he was the dormwarden.. Amidst in her thoughts her hold gets as tight as she can go but Crowley had already nodded and dismissed them she bites her lip not wishing to be a nuisance so she slowly lets go of him and the moment she does he pulls away sending one last glance to the her before leading Heartslabyul out, while Crowley is a lot of things he should understand his duties in this case correct, he wonders before disappearing from her sight and Crowley speaks.
“Let's go to the library shall we?.”
Her time spent with Crowley was simply her in a daze she can barely recall what they had spoke about in the library she just knows shes here now in this dorm; she had spent majority if not all of her time awake cleaning the dorm so it could at least be a livable place, her mother had always told her if the house wasn't clean it would be bad for her health to sleep in it when finally no dust is in sight she goes to the room that is the most similar to her room at home and lays in the bed and finally when she is in her bed her expression turns dull and blank. Without her mother without someone in her space what use is there for pretend, she asks herself but then she recalls Riddle and her eyes sparkle and a soft smile once more appears on her face and she falls asleep with her arms clutched to her chest.
When she wakes up she gets out of bed and goes quietly downstairs and sits on the couch waiting then the door loudly slams open and Crowley comes inside chirping handing her a bag of food and then a bag of necessities along with clothes then the phone.
“I brought food, and Riddle had so nicely gave me clothes for you and a phone so if need be you could call him, if trouble arises also the heartslabyul book of rules oh yes, but I hope you don't call Riddle during school hours he of course has to go to school you know.”
She gently grabs the bags from him before looking up at him and tilting her head once more she still has zero clue, on what a phone is so she truly hopes he at least teaches her how to use this thing.
He teaches her how to use a phone and she learn rather quickly but then Crowley waits for her to finish the food he had given her and she realizes that rather quickly; so she does, she eats the food Crowley had given her, although she can't taste anything she had found that out when she was around ten she had one day snuck into the kitchen to try and cook something for her mother and while her mother told her the food tasted good when she had ate it herself she tasted nothing, she never really paid any attention to it because at least she could taste her mothers cooking she shakes off her pointless thoughts and continues to eat until she finishes the rest of breakfast the moment she does Crowley speaks.
“You cleaned up the place quite nicely.! No one would even think this place had used to be abandoned, not to boot but your also magic less; I think my judgment was correct! You'll be a janitor here.”
She looks up at him for a moment staying silent before grabbing the clothing bag speaking quietly to him.
“Okay. I'll go get ready then, but please stay so you can give me a tour considering the fact, I don't know where anything here is..”
She follows after Crowley with him leading her around the school their are glances at the two of them every now and again but; she ignores them she has never been outside before so it must be a usual occurrence are her thoughts but before she can continue he leads her to the cafeteria and gestures around it, its full of people having breakfast.
“This is the cafeteria, ahem.. While you aren't a student here, you need to eat as well so you will be eaten in here as well. Me bringing you breakfast was just a today thing.. For lunch and dinner you come here, don't worry it'll all be free..”
He mutters but shes not focused on him any longer she spots Riddle who is coming up to them and now hes standing in front of her his hands reach out and fixes her blouse and skirt before speaking.
“I bought you those clothes, so may you please wear the clothes properly, Yume.. Also have you already ate, if not you could come with me and I can help explain to you all the meals that are here today.”
She nods her head quickly to explain to him yes she has eaten already before speaking softly. “Yes, also thank you for the clothes and necessities, not to mention this thing called a phone I have been meaning to send you a message but I simply haven't had the time, I apologize..” she pulls out her phone and goes to Riddles contact to quickly send a message to him.
In the meantime that's when Crowley finally notices him and he sweats before speaking. “Ah, mister Rosehearts. Ms. Yume is currently getting a tour, so you can go back to having breakfast.. We shall be off now!”
Crowley doesn't even give Riddle the chance to respond and say he already finished and how it would be against rule 271 to continue sitting because Crowley is already dragging the standing Yume to the next place in his tour.
Shes in front of the statues of the seven Crowley having had shortly left after giving her a tour so shes simply cleaning the statues but two students from heartslabyul come up to her while she is cleaning she tunes their conversation out but from what she recalls they had been talking about the statues only once they finish is when she speaks quietly.
“You two.. are students here correct.?”
The first one to respond is the boy with fluffy, messy, bright orange hair he has scarlet-red eyes, and a distinct red, heart-shaped marking over his left eye.
“Yep. The names Ace, and I'm a first year as of today. Pleasure to make my acquaintance, I'm sure.”
She stares at him for a moment before speaking and glancing away.
“Ace?.. I recall hearing Riddle calling out that name yesterday..”
She mutters to herself interrupting him from continuing unintentionally stopping that boy from teasing her, because now he is tensing up a bit and glancing away sweating because it had slipped the housewardens mind completely; if she ever brings it up to the housewarden Riddle he'd undoubtedly be interrogated especially considering how quite literally everyone in orientation saw how close she had acted towards the short housewarden, Ace isn't allowed to continue thinking because luckily the other boy Juice? speaks which changes the subject off of Ace, unlike Ace he has dark navy blue hair and bright cyan eyes, as well as a signature black marking shaped like a spade symbol over his right eye.
“I'm Deuce Spade, nice to meet you.”
She nods her head biting her lip for a moment to think for a moment before quietly speaking.
“I am Yume, it is a pleasure to meet both of you, but should you two not be heading off to class..?”
She tilts her head for a moment before her eyes widen when she sees the cat jump on Ace's head and then onto a statue and then it begins speaking but she tunes their whole thing out completely this whole thing is a complete and utter waste of time, the cat is a complete and utter nuisance a dull expression appears on her face but soon enough a fight breaks out between Ace and the cat that calls himself Grim she decides she hates Grim the only thing he brings is destruction she thinks to herself the moment she sees the queen of hearts statue burn.
Somehow they came to be at the dwarfs mine she believes she helped them with the monster because they had began arguing with each other but for some reason after getting the gem and defeating the monster then them acting as if the three of them became friends which she so deeply in the deepest of her heart wished that she was part of that friendship its coming back up, shes scared shes completely and utterly scared she hates this no.. she despises this. she wishes she was with her mother no if she has to stay in this place Riddle.. she misses him and her mother so deeply.
A small burst of red flames shoots at the monster and then the flames engulfs it and she blinks in surprise multiple times, even though she has never seen Riddle's magic it reminds her of the smell of him so the moment the flame disappears along with the monster; she turns around and spots Riddle hes wearing an outfit she has never seen before and he looks quite upset at the two boys from his dorm who haven't noticed him yet, but she pays no mind to that and swiftly runs towards him she grabs his hand that isn't holding the staff she doesn't speak because he begins to speak in a crisp voice that isn't hinting towards his anger towards the two.
“Honestly. That monster was barely a threat. And still you fools struggle?"
He continues speaking but she only truly recalls him speaking to Trey and Cater telling them. “Trey, Cater. Take those two away.” he tells them and the moment they're gone he turns to Yume whose still holding his hand and he speaks to her.
“Are you alright.? I already had quite a hard time with leaving you to headmaster Crowley when I had told you, I would help you.. I had believed him to be the correct person for the job, but I suppose I was wrong.. I apologize. Now I do need to go back to my dorm, immediately but I shall lead you back to school at least.”
Her eyes sparkle for a moment and she nods her head quickly and follows him as he leads her to the location where they would return, with Grim following behind them as they walk Riddle tells her that she is allowed at Heartslabyul whenever she'd need to come and he comments quietly to himself how he couldn't believe Headmaster Crowley had allowed her to stay in the abandoned dorm as a woman and magic less; but she pays no attention to that only following after him until they arrive back at school and he returns to his dorm as she goes to the Headmaster and gives him the stone and he loudly proclaims.
“Oh, my! You.. You did it! You actually returned with the exact magestone I needed. How extraordinaire.”
He then proceeded to go on a ramble about how she was able to get two students to work together and as well as revoking the duos expulsion he will enroll her and Grim into school as a duo.
Grim returns to her dorm with her, she is now a dormwarden of the dorm with grim as her dorm member; because of him she had also met the ghosts for the first time them having not noticed her presence had popped out to scare Grim, but she pays no mind to them and swiftly goes to her room to get ready for bed sending Riddle a message to tell him goodnight it being refex because she had always told her mother goodnight, after sending him that text she grabs the queen of hearts rule book and sits down on the bed and begins to read it considering it was a gift she should treasure it after all. Whilst she reads she thinks about how Riddle had appeared and saved her after she had thought of him; could it perhaps be fate.? He's her savior.
With that thought in her head she stops reading the rule book after getting halfway through and goes into slumber; she hears her door cracking open a bit in her sleep and feels Grim climbing into her bed and feels him lay on her stomach, while she had originally thought of him as a nuisance he's warm she doesn't know how to think of him but the warmth he holds, is similar to the same warmth that Riddle has.
Making new memories
□ some spoilers for dialog of Yume's thoughts
From the very beginning of my life to now, I have always lived inside the safety of my home with my mother. She always reminded me each and every day that it is best to stay inside the house, it is dangerous outside. But.. every single day, through my window I can see how the seasons change just like how it says in all the books I've read. I can see it rain, I can see the wind breeze rustling the leafs on the trees, I can even see those leafs fall to the grass and turn brown then when seasons change I can see rain fall against my window, and then winter arrives. Before spring comes before summer. I can't understand what's so bad about the outside but.. this is the warm safe cocoon of ours and she is my mother, I can't see how she would be wrong . .
I understand now.. what my mother means, I'm sorry mother. I am so very sorry, you must be so deeply worried for me correct.? I.. I'm so scared I know you must've not meant to hurt me that day. I'm sorry.. Why didn't I listen to her when she said "she hadn't meant to hurt me." Stupid idiotic me, I chose to run away instead, this isn't a tale like those books I so deeply favored as a child..
Why..? I feel a deep tighteness in my chest, it hurts so much.. I'm so.. sorry mother. My skin.. its burnt. My mother wouldn't be happy if she saw my skin this burnt color.. But.. she would forgive me right?.. she would bandage my skin and hug me as I cried in her arms. This hurts.. I broke free from the cocoon but at what cost.? Was the cocoon even something I had truly wished to break free from.?
