All Chapters of Fated Fairy Tales: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Goldie’s POV “On your marks,” Coach Carter yells. “Get set.” He calls as he raises a whistle to his mouth and blows it. I sprinted to the first obstacle, beating Matty. It was a zig-zagged balance beam. With my size 6 feet, I maneuver around it with precision. I can’t help but notice the incline on my way around. At the end, I jump and grab hold of a rope that swings me to another rope swing. I slid down a bit so that when I let go on the second swing, I flew that bit further onto the grassy edge. Next obstacle. I drop and crawl beneath a net. I am so slim it’s easy to get through this obstacle. Getting to my feet, I saw a wooden wall in front of me. This might have been a challenge if I hadn’t spent years climbing a wonky ladder. I can see where the wood is protruding and I plan my path. I dig my fingernails into the smallest of cracks and climb. At one point, I allow myself a glance at where the others are. The nets are moving, so I assume they are in there somewhere

Matty’s POV “It’s only for a week, Matty,” Goldie says, handing me a leaflet that had been placed on all the tables in the dining room. I took it from her to read it for myself. ‘An opportunity has arisen for students to earn extra points. Additional border patrol places are available for the upcoming week. Speak to Mrs. Woodhouse to sign up.’ After we finished our meal, we headed towards Mrs. Woodhouse’s desk. If we don’t know where anything else is in this school, we know where Mrs. Woodhouse’s desk is. Right outside of Principal Andrews office. “These are the time slots available. Make sure you don’t miss any classes, though.” She says, handing me the board. We stand at Mrs. Woodhouse’s desk, checking out the slots that are up for grabs. There aren’t many left, as others must have gotten there before us. Between us, we selected 6 slots a day for the next week. “Easy points,” I told Goldie. “Easy points.” She responded in agreement. Those points will more than get

Goldie’s POV “Harper, your students are over there.” Coach Carter yells at me while pointing at a group of students who were lying on the ground. I look at Matty on the assault course and feel a tad bit guilty. But this is what we agreed on. I identify the students as the academic ones from my cohort. The ones who look like they couldn’t knock over a feather. I get to know each of their names before I watch them sparring. It turned out I was right. None of them had much of a fighting spirit. “We suck at this sort of thing. But we get the points if we try,” Lewis tells me. I understand his logic. “I kind of noticed that. But there are things we can do to improve your skills.” I told them all, which seemed to pique their interest. After a quick conversation, I discovered they all needed to start with the basics. “Harper, why is your group sitting down? This is training, not yoga class,” Coach Carter shouts at me. I look back at my group. Before inviting Coach Carter

Matty’s POV Oh, my goddess. Principal Andrews is so boring. I would rather be in math class right now than put up with him for much longer. “Were nearly there Mr. Sharper.” He says after I sigh loudly. “At least Principal Sinker is meeting us part of the way.” “What does that mean?” I asked curiously. “It means I have asked for this meeting, so I travel to him. He could have made us go all the way to Alpha Academy. Principal Sinker is doing us a favor by meeting us part of the way.” Principal Andrews informs me. I looked out of the car’s window. “Goldie will be in training class soon,” I told Killian. “I hope she doesn’t wear that outfit. She looked far too sexy to be going anywhere in that. Draw too much attention to herself.” After another hour of driving, we pulled up in front of a grand hotel. I have seen better, I’ve stayed in better. But no one knows that. “Wow, this place looks amazing,” I say convincingly. “I have heard great things about this hotel. I’ve hear

Matty’s POV “Will you shut up? I am going as fast as I can,” Killian snaps at me again. I don’t care though. The direct route took 10 hours to drive. Killian has to take the scenic route, which means it will take longer unless I motivate him. “They’re important to me, too.” Is what he says before blocking me out? Killian only unblocks me when he shifts at the gates of Beta Academy. I pushed open the gates and ran up the driveway. “Has she been found?” I shouted as soon as I walked through the academy’s doors. Principal Andrews appeared from behind Coach Carter. He must have broken a few speed limits to get here before Killian. “No. There have been no sightings of Miss. Harper since the Ferris wheel fell.” He says. Mrs. Woodhouse walks in holding a newspaper. She hands it to Principal Andrews. “Miss. Harper appears to have made the morning newspaper in the human world.” ‘Heroine missing.’ Is the headline. ‘Rescue teams refuse to give up.’ Is the subtitle. “I need to
