Harry’s head tilted up as he listened to the other girl.  A hum from him.  “You’re quite full of yourself aren’t ya?”  He asked as he took a step toward her.  “Not that there's anything wrong with that.”

❝Can I HELP you three?❞ This was a part of the ISLE that Evie didn’t normally venture to. But with her sketchbook in hand she had TRAVERSED the run down streets until she found a little perch tucked away in the corner in order to DRAW. She had THOUGHT she would find some solitude but that never lasted long around here, and soon enough the three girls were spotted just STARING at her.

“How can I be of assistance your Highness?” The bandersnatch watched the young princess. Lingering in the door frame after pausing on his way to the King’s office to update him on happenings in their territory. “I obtained this from Ginny Gothel to bring a smile to your face princess.” the beast held out a single stem white rose. “You may wish to paint it though, the Gothel girl says it’s colourless because it’s the isle.”

“Now now, that’s not how one does Christmas. You’ll have to wait to find out Queenie.” He mused, looking up from the chess game that he was playing with himself. Eyes dancing in wicked mirth, knowing full well she wasn’t going to like that answer.

He remained still for a long moment before musing flatly, expression not changing. “Even a sane person could come up with a better joke then that Queenie.”

“I beg to differ my darling sister.” He mused, looking around the spooky graveyard walk they were on before nodding towards a prince that had just vomited into the grass out of fear. “I would never have been that terrified by this as a wee little bundle of madness. Oh, look! A chainsaw!”

Evie KNEW better than to take the fates by their word. Sometimes they spouted FANCY tall tales of the future, but in the end it was false. They liked to TRICK people, and Evie didn’t want to fall for it - but she couldn’t help the smile that bloomed across her features at the girls’ words spoken in unison. It was always a little OFF PUTTING how they did that, but she shrugged it off in favor of wishing to believe their fate was TRUE. ❝Its HARD not to fear this place sometimes. Hopefully whatever you see for me          isn’t surrounded by all of this.❞ Gesturing vaguely towards the Isle as a whole, the Princess laughed softly. She wanted to get OUT, just as much as everyone else.
