The Fall of a queen I

I couldn't enjoy the weekend. Of course it has been a while since I enjoyed anything, but still seeing these scars. Why couldn't I remember it?

I called Susan over on Saturday and grilled her about it. As always she was scared shitless, but for once I just wanted answers.

“Y-yes...we did this to Marcie...” she whimpered out. “it was about four years ago. In our last year at Keinname junior high.”

Fours years ago. I thought back. That was way before I formed Royal magnificent. Of course even at Keinname I was a **** to be reckoned with. I did a lot of bullying back then, people call me cruel now, but now it is more of a hobby. Back then it was a full time job. I needed to prove myself.

And I suppose Cow was a victim of that.

“Why did we do it? What did Marcie do?”

“She...she..” Susan shivered.

“What?”

“She pulled your pants down...you...you where just about to bully some kid. We where all distracted and Marcie came up behind and pantsed you.”

I see.

I probably snapped.

I am invincible, untouchable, or so I thought up until a month ago. I can't remember a single instance in which somebody even laid as much as a hand on me, save my mother. So if someone dared to humiliate me to such a degree, when I was still pretty much a kid, yes I could see myself retaliating very viciously.

“Who else is aware of this?”

“Nobody, at this school at least. There was a lot of uproar back at Keinname, not just because of this, so we changed school. You also told me to never mention this incident ever again.”

So, quite literally, I purged it from my mind. It sounded insane, but if Marcie's theory, about my own subconsciousness inflicting this curse on me is true, then wouldn't that not be so far from the truth?

But why did Cow transfer with us? Don't tell me she planned this **** all this time? That was an unpleasant thought. Whatever, the real question is how I should handle it. Should I apologize? I mean even I realize that this was a pretty fucked up thing to do.

...i do feel sorry for it right?

Right?

Still not knowing what to do I met with Cow as usual before our regular morning assembly.

I did not like the look in her eyes.

“Well, well, I didn't think my little Ocelot would visit me that quickly once more.”

Marel sat lazily on the gaudy purple sofa, grinning up to me. “If it is money you want, I am happy to oblige, although I will require some extra service from you this time.” She patted the space on her lap.

I sooner drink bleach. “No, not money. I am here to pledge my allegiance to you, as well as offer you all of Royal magnificent on a silver platter.”

I could see how Marel's eyes lit up at the prospect. “Really? Oh my, I feel honored, but what is the occasion?”

“The truth is...” I gulped. “The girl named Marcie, my hand. She is gaining more and more influence and is threatening my position. I hate her! I need her gone! I am willing to give everything for that!”

“Hoh?” Marel licked her lips. “I heard what you did last Friday. Was that your little shadow queen's idea as well?”

“Yes”, I answered defeated. “If I had refused her, she would have deposed me then and there.”

“So your power has deteriorated to such a degree? That is adorable.”

I hung my head in shame. “If you get rid of Marcie for me...as well as Lindsey I will hand over control of Royal magnificent to you.”

“As well as you?”, Marel asked with a suggestive undertone.

“Y-yes as well as me.”

“It is very tempting.” Marel conceded. “Still Royal magnificent just got the Volleyball club on her side. Even if you would denounce Marcie, it would result in an ugly war between us, would it not?”

“That is why we need to get rid of Marcie and Lindsey first. Take them out and the whole structure collapses. I still have a few supporters. With those two out of the way I can take back control.”

“Under my supervision?”

“Of course, I will give you **** material if needed. All I want Is a decently high position in Crazy carousel. As for the girls, do with them what you want. Most of them are very pretty, so I am sure you will enjoy yourself. There is even a boy in there that you can give your lackeys as a plaything.”

Marel chuckled at that. “I think I will take you up on that offer. All three of them, I mean. I suppose you have a plan on how we should take care of your little kittens?”

“Yes...you see we three always end up visiting the same cafe in the evening.”

And with that I fulfilled my obligation. “I should head back now.” But before I could go my mouth blurted out something else. “Actually, I have one more favor.”
