So.. This is a preview for the next chapter (CHAPTER 3!!!!) of Blood Under The Bridge! So, let's get this party started!

The vast student body of Ever After High had been gathered together, a nearly fatal mistake. Enemies instinctively found each other in the crowd and started bickering and physically fighting one another. A few brawls were forcibly resolved by Baba Yaga, who watched everyone with a critical eye. If one toe was put out of line, she was the type to have the entire foot cut off, just in case.

Her two companions were both female as well. One was a fair maiden named Marian, complete with beautiful brown curls and brilliant green eyes. She waved elegantly at the people assembled, playing the part of the perfect princess. The other lady had untamable fiery curls and piercing blue eyes. While Marian was sweet and obedient, Merida was impetous and easily irritated, regarding people with a sort of suspicious disdain.

"Welcome, everyone!" Marian eventually cried out, her musical voice carrying on the wind. "I'm glad everyone is finally here! We have gathered you today for a sensational new event that has never been done before! Merida, would you care to explain?" She beamed at her companion, despite the archer's scowl.

"We're doing a fight. Yes, for a grade. Villains keep the heroes from reaching the princesses. Princesses escape from their towers. Heroes rescue the princesses. To decide who is the hero, the villain and the princess, we shall draw names. Villains over here! Heroes over here! And, princesses (and princes with a princess destiny) over here!" She gestured to the bowls placed before Baba Yaga, Marian and herself.

Slowly, people lined up and dropped their names into the various bowls, watching as a magic spel woven into them shuffled the papers constantly. Naturally, all of them were excited, especially about how interesting the combinations could be. While some were obviously going to be afraid of being picked, most of the students were content to fight or spectate.

But, none of them were going to be prepared for the fight that was yet to come...
