Calli rolls her head back. There is a bitter cackle that tenses the muscles in her neck. The vein moving underneath the tan but not quite dark enough tone of her skin.

Then her jaw clenches.

No reason...no reason.... the words echoed hollow within her mind. Her fists clench so hard that blood begans to draw from her palms. Her teeth gritted that her canines slice into the tender flesh of her bottom lip. More blood, trickling down her chin.

There is a reason... the thought is a resonoated rage and somehow leaves a bitter taste in her membrane, a sickening clench in her chest, a heavy pit to form in her throat.

Her parents abandoned her. This made Calli angry. Outraged. Depressed. Confused. Sad.

Lost....

Calli's parents left her in the clutches of Ever After High. Foreclosed the house they raised her in. Then they just left. No means of contact. No address of course. No phone numbers. Nothing. Just a destiny to cling onto. Just a destiny to make some meaning of her life. Incorporating her into a system where her worth was determined by her fullfilling the role of a fairytale. A destiny that was called to question by the movement of a single student that put into perspective that destiny was a fleeting thing. Fickle, a defensive wall built up by Royals who wanted to find some sense of security in an unpredictable journey otherwise known as life. To make a life for themselves or to follow the safer path that many footsteps before them treaded. And...

Calli wanted to spite them. Spite them in such a foolish way. Her parents. She hated them. Hated for what they did to her. For giving her that false sense of security. Not by the means of a promising destiny. No. Pulling a veil over her otherwise cunning eyes that they were...had been a family. She wanted to show them by getting expelled from the very school they so carelessly dumped her in. To make a long tale short the only reason Calli was still even in Ever After was because she agreed to the Headmaster's terms of wearing Baba Yaga's cursed collar as a probationary payback for her criminal behavior that, for the longest time, gave Ever After's lazy lifestyle quite the shake.

She could never forget that witch's eyes as she fastened the collar around her neck of three enchanted chains and thick, stiff troll hide.

Calli idly felt the cool metal around her neck

From the information CC had told her Wonderlandians were pretty much mind readers. So she was probably aware that her explanation had reduced Calli to a shaking, sweating mess of self-doubt, of a sense of worthlessness. Of wondering why why why did her parents leave her?

''A walking Pandemonium....is that all I am? Is that why they left me? Am I a mistake? Just...just why? ''

A can clamorously rolled from the front and made its way underneath Calli's boot. She knelt down and picked it up. It was a beer can. Calli snapped out of her self pitying reverie, ears perked fully, eyes dilated to attentive slits.

"CC..." Calli's eyes locked onto the bus driver. "Our bus driver is totally drinking..."
