SCARLET POV

“Why won’t you listen to me Scarlet?!” She yelled, punching the dining table with her fist as she towered over me. “You must choose a husband!”

“I am listening! I just haven’t found someone I-“

“You shouldn’t be looking! I married your father, didn’t I? He was such an idiot but I never questioned my mother!” Her voice softened. “I want you to be taken care of, my daughter.”

I glared at her. “No you don’t mom! You want me trapped. Trapped to marry someone I don’t love, trapped to have a daughter or son, and I don’t have any choice!”

She sighed exasperated. “Scarlet! Stop talking back this instant or I’ll—“

“That’s how conversations work!”

She gasped. “Take her to her room servants.”

I felt as two servants pull me away from my mother. “You can’t just do this to me! I oughta—“

“Bring her out faster!” Mother yelled.

Quickly, I was dragged to my room and thrown inside. My mother followed with a silver key. “This is for your own good.”

I heard the lock turn and my mothers light footsteps walk away. I looked in the keyhole and saw the key still there. Now time to figure out how to get out.

STAGAETH POV

“Is this really the way boss?” I mumbled, slouching. “I mean, I know your sister fucked up but—“

“She didn’t just ‘fuck up,’ she ruined everything! She deserves this.” Boss smiled. “And I deserve to see her die.”

I nodded. Boss deserved everything she wanted. She was awesome. She was smart. Most of all, she cared for me. Well, cared enough to keep me alive. I smiled and pulled out my lock pick.

“I got this boss.” I grunted as I stuck it in the palace doors. “Also, whatcha gonna do with her daughter? Your niece?”

I could basically hear bosses annoyance. “Oh right.” She paused. “Maybe I’ll take her in too. Like I did for you Stagaeth.”

“What-“ I fell into the castle as the doors gave out. “A new minion? Are you replacing me boss?”

“No my sweet little slave. No princess could replace my favorite goblin.” She said, though there was a hint of lies in her words.

I shook the thoughts of replacement away and let her in. “Get ready.” Boss threw a potion at the floor and we appeared in the queens living quarters.

“Couldn’t you have done done that outside, before I broke in?” I stuttered.

“Of course, but you wouldn’t be of use to me on this mission if I did. Now do you have the supplies?” Boss smiled, her sharp teeth gleaming.

“Of course boss!” I giggled, excited. It’s been so long since my last meal.

I walked over to the queens bed where she slept, carefully lifting her head to succure a gag before she blinked awake, surprised. Then as she started trying to scream through the gag I grabbed her wrists and clamped chains around them, wrapping it around the bed leg. Boss came in and smiled at me.

“Good goblin. Now eat.”

FAELA POV

Finally, it was over. After a long, bloody night, she was definitely, absolutely dead. And I could finally use my shapeshifting spell to look like her. The fun part was done. But step two might be more difficult.

“Go kill a servant Stagaeth. Then I can transform you too.”

“Two meals in one day?! Thanks boss!!” Stagaeth smiled, hopping out.

“Make it quick this time though!” I yelled after him. He was a the biggest idiot ever, but he got the work done.

As I prepared the spell he came back. “Done!” He laughed, licking his lips, the blood clearing. “Let’s do this boss!”

LATER

I strolled the halls in the morning, looking exactly like my late sister. No servant stopped and stared, no soldier I had put to sleep last night did anything other than bow. I felt overpowered but loved it. Then we neared my nieces door.

“Get her out. Do you have supplies left over?” I said to Stagaeth.

“Yes boss! Got that!” He smiled. But the door wouldn’t budge.

“It won’t open!” He frowned at me.

“Then open. it.” I sighed. I had no more teleportation potions, nor patience for this.

“My lock picks are busted!” He whined. “I can’t!”

“The convince her to come out.”

Stagaeth banged on the door. “SCARLET!”

I could hear the princess walk to the door. “Scarlet open the door!!”

“SCARLET! Come on out! I need to talk to you!”

I shoved him away. “Scarlet!”

“Mom?” I heard from the other side.

“Scarlet open the door please. My love open the door!” I said innocently, sweetly.

“Scarlet, can we not fight anymore please, let me set you free.” I smiled as I heard her sigh.

“No mom, I—“

“I’m gonna count to three…”

“One.”

I heard the lock turn.

“Two.”

The door creaked open as my spell wore off, revealing our true forms.

“Get her!”

❤️ Ik when I come back it’s this monstrosity. Sorry I’ve been gone
