Chapter 16: Catacombs
(3P POV)
After leaving class, Star rushed into their locker and into her closet to change while listening to Taffy informed her of the rest of her schedule.
"Next you have lunch, you should have gotten a text but I must remind you to head to the catacombs for the Head mistress to instruct you on where you will be receiving your royal training." She said while writing on her clipboard. "You're lunch had already been prepared. I will be waiting for you in the creepateria. If you'll like to eat somewhere else, you can inform Purple."
"Yes I had seen the text. The one from the Head mistress and the one from my mother about the house being finished." She quickly put the finishing touches of her makeup on her face before observing herself in the mirror.
"Yeah, I had gotten that message from your mother also about your new house and also she'll be sending the carriage to show you the location." Taffy finished, finally looking up from her clipboard. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes how do I look?" Star gave a small twirl.
"Beautiful as always." Taffy gave her a smirk. "What did you expect with me as your personal fashion fairy."
"Oh yes what would I do without your impeccable fashion skills." Star said sarcastically while rushing out the closet door, passed the bed and through the lounge where Pink and Purple were taking a short break. "Thanks ghouls. See you later."
They each yelled their own farewell, watching as their queen-to-be ran out the locker door before it quickly closed.
Outside in the hallway, Heath waited for his mate to finish changing but was too busy watching Frankie and the rest of the ghouls filming their video for the Jaundice brothers to notice the locker door opening until someone ran into him from behind cause them both to tumble to the ground.
"I'm so sorry Heath. Are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere?" Star quickly recovered from the fall since she landed on him and began to check him over for any injuries.
Heath, still laying on the floor in shock, blinked a few times before chuckling at the fact that his mate was the one who tackled in to the floor like a player in grave ball.
"I'm good babe." Ignoring her worried gaze, he stood up and dusted himself off. "No one in the world can quench this flame."
She giggle at his corny line, loving the way his hair blazed and eye lit up in his excitement.
"And here we have the new royal couple of the elemental kingdom, Heath and Star." Frankie said, going over to them as the camera which was being carried by one of Cleo's many servants, followed her without fail. "Can you believe had just started attending this school and she had not heard of the Jaundice Brothers?"
"Hey you guy are scaresome! And I hope you can rock out with us at our homecoming dance this week!" Heath said enthusiastically.
"I hope you guys can come so I can get the full Jaundice Brothers experience at my new school." Star said, giving the camera her most dazzling smile she could muster from her years of royal training.
"There you have it people, the words from the future king and queen themselves." Frankie said before going over to Clawdeen. "Over here, are my best Ghoulfriends."
"So where are we off to now?" Taking advantage of them finally being alone, Heath wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer into his chest. "Creepateria? Lunch doesn't start for another hour but we can go to relax until then."
"First we have to make a little visit to the catacombs." Pulling out her phone, showing him the directions the Head Mistress had recently sent. "We have to meet the Head Mistress about a secret room for us to train and advance our elemental powers."
"Then lead the way princess." He bowed lowly with his hand held out to her.
"Let go you goof." She giggled while pacing her hand in his before leading him to the catacomb entrance.
Heath smiled as he gladly allow his mate to pull him where ever she wanted.
Not long after entering the catacomb, a few motion sensor skulls lit there way but after awhile the skulls got fewer the further they walked down the dark passage but fortunately Heath was there, lighting his body on fire, illumination the whole area.
"Don't worry babe, I'll always lit the way for ya." He said trying to act cool but failing as he tried to lean on a wall only for him to trip over his own feet.
"Such a gentle manster." She said sarcastically.
After waking for a more few minutes and taking a few wrong turns, they had finally gotten to their destination.
"Finally, I thought we were just going to get lost again." Star sighed in relief
"Yeah, the catacombs can be a real pain if you don't know where you're going." Heath agree.
They had stepped out of a dark and gloomy décor to a much more elegant and royal area. Only this area of the whole catacombs had what looks like newly painted cream colored walls, two columns and in between them was a steel door with a gold design.
"Prince Heath and Princess Star." The Head Mistress called out to them by their title from her position upon her blue horse in front of the steel door with her head in her arms.
"Head Mistress, we're students. You don't have to address us like that." Star stated
"I have to Princess." She sighed in frustration. "Or your mother might have my head. She had hid it last time. It took be hours to find it."
"Sound like my mother." Star said before turning to the steel door and asked, "Is this it?"
"From what I remember yes But only a true royal from the elemental line can open and grant others access. According to your mother, the door follows the future king and queen to whichever school they decide to attend and disappears when they graduate. This where it usually was when you're mother was here. The fact that it's here again means you two are truly are meant to be elemental rulers." The Head Mistress informed them. "Unfortunately that is the only information we currently have since the contents were left a secret to outsiders. Other than it is here to train the future King and Queen, I have no idea what's beyond that door."
Star stepped closer staring at the door, hoping to find a clue, "Maybe there's a key around here some-" Just then, when she placed her hand on the door, she was forcefully pulled through the door.
"Star!" Heath felt his head drop, while looking in shock at the still standing still door where his mate had disappeared.
