(Anadil)

Verena woke up with a gasp, she was asleep when she was falling, her body was dropping fast as she kicked her legs helplessly. She dropped down however she was thankful to catch a grip onto a rough, skin peeling, stone bridge ledge. Verena was left panting as she hauled herself up onto the walkway. She sat down temporarily and sighed as she looked around and stood up. She felt like Alice when she first fell down the rabbit hole except she never followed a single thing down a rabbit hole. She was wearing clumps, with a black flowy skirt that went down to her knees, and a louse black blouse. Her hair was platinum blond with gold strands here and there. She had her hair in bubble pigtails. Verena looked to find her bag in tact and she ran her hand across the knife she had on her thigh for reassurance of protection. She followed the crowd in and up the stairs.

She admired the castles dark vibes when she felt movement in her backpack. She checked it quickly to find Reaper had slipped into her bag. She took him out rubbing his fur softly. Reaper went back to sleep and she let him return to laying in her bag. She arrived at the top to see girls around her age with raggidy clothes and she took the clothes and books with no complaint. She moved on silently taking everything in as she made her way to her dorm. She arrived to see it held enough beds for five. This was room 66. She opened the door and entered. She looked at the clothes and snared at them in disgust, nobody wants to wear that, and Verena couldn't help but sit on her bed and noticed a spinning wheel and straw. Verena laughed as she sat down and playfully began to spin the straw however she was shocked out of her laughter when the straw turned to gold string. She had a lot of it as well. She took the gold string and sewed it into her bag.

Verena placed her books on the bookshelf beside the bed she'd claimed for herself. She sighed as she looked around, she'd have roommates, this made her wonder if they were nice, or just downright annoying, she'd soon find out. Verena looked around, the room was so boring. She noticed chatter outside of the door. She sat quiet listening.

" They're giving away such nice things, I bet we can get more once everything is all said and finished." She smiled at the girls who'd unknowingly spilled their little secret. She stood and began to where she heard commotion. She found a market of things. She looked at the golden string and hid it in her bag. She turned and saw a bored with the rules.

' Dear Nevers,

Do not harm one another for the better items.

Do not steal.

Do not under any circumstances think you are above paying.

Lastly if you do any of these things don't get caught.'

Verena nodded to herself as she looked through everything swiping things with no help at all. She saw no reason to pay if they were going to encourage good theft and she was a damn good thief. She'd snatched a magic bag and her spree had begun. This was the way of life she realized, these were the villains of the fairytales, and in order to fit in she'd have to blend in with the others. She wondered how Agatha was doing at the moment. Verena curiously looked at the knives.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

" See anything you like deary?" Verena saw a knife that was special.

" How much for this one." She held it up and the goblin grinned.

" A straw of gold." Verena pulled out the required amount and the goblin happily clapped as Verena left with a knife and a bag of null chalk. Verena was fluid through the crowd blending in with the others by keeping her head down.Verena found herself with a plant, many stolen books, even quite a bit of stolen currency within 30 minutes after the previous interaction. Verena bought keys to the kitchen, library, and gardens.

" Young lady, please return that key." A sharp voice stated. Verena turned to witness someone getting caught as that very same person was dragged away. Verena felt a bit of sympathy however she could do nothing for the girl as Verena continued on with buying things and stealing.

Verena returned to her dorm as used a seeing mirror to reveal that Agatha was struggling in the school for Good.

" Poor Aggie." Verena stated before putting the mirror away. She began to organize everything she'd stolen down from the books to the hair items. Verena then began to remake her uniform until she was satisfied with the look that it had. Verena placed it in the dresser she'd gotten.

" Who are you?" Hissed Hester.

" Verena, and who might you be?"

" Hester your future class leader." Verena didn't care and went back to looking over all the things she stolen when she ran across a box full of jars and containers, filled with different substances.

" Wow, you must have a bunch of money to have gotten your hands on one of those." Dot said.

" I stole it." Verena admitted and Dot was shocked.

" Wait, you've been to the market? Was there anything left?"

" Nothing that I need, however you all should hurry if you want to get anything good, the back has the better things." Verena watched as the three girls hurried out of the dorm. Verena decorated the dorm, there was a group mirror, shelves for placing things, baskets to drop important things, coat hangers, gum, period products. She was going to share that however for her little area she had lights that she could manipulate with simple commands that she used to make a canopy for her bed with dark purple fabric, her bed had dark silk and velvet bedding. Under her bed lay a comfortable dark purple rug. She'd claimed the bookshelf for herself, and she'd placed an area for tea on on the balcony, she also put up a water proof shield so the area wouldn't get wet. Verena was satisfied as the three girls stumbled back in to find their dorm completely different. Dot was in love with her area which had her name on it. Anadil was pleased to find her area was untouched just as her coven mates but marked with her name. Hester looked at her area and was glad it was undisturbed when she noticed their roommates side and they all were shocked and sneered.

" Did you three find anything worthwhile?"

" Food, but we have to pay forward a debt of 30 strings of golden straw." Hester grumbled. Verena got up.

" What type of food?" They showed all of it off.

" I'll buy it off you all for 60 strings of gold." They all exchanged looks, it was a lot of food for someone such as Verena but they needed it and so they nodded. Verena collected the food and laid the strings down.

" So you are loaded?" Dot asked.

" Something along those lines, and pleasure doing business for you three." Verena said as she hid the food away. Hester didn't like the girl, something about her just scared Hester shitless, and Hester hated being scared, however there was nothing the girl could do, because one thing was made apparent to them all in that moment as Verena glared something terrible at Hester. Verena wasn't here to make friends, find love, or even play with people, she had no intention of bowing down to Hester or anyone for that matter. All three girls quickly realized Verena was dangerous, and it scared them shitless.
