Episode 2-Epilogue(2): Glory and The Huntsman

***Glory's outfit^***

Meanwhile at the Botanical garden, Glory and Trey were strolling through the garden when Glory is in awe to see herself back in the garden again where she starts taking pictures of beautiful plants and trees from different locations.

"OMG, there's so many plants to take pictures with! Ugh all of them are so gorgeous!" Glory glees while snapping pics of different plants and trees. Trey chuckles.

"You sure love taking pictures." Trey compliments making Glory giggle and turns to him.

"I do. I love photography! It's always been my passion. I love the concept of capturing the powerful medium and communications that offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. That's the real beauty of photography." Glory chirps.

"Eeehhh I don't get the point of photography. It's basically you take a camera and just take picture." Grim remarks while clinging on to her shoulders, but Trey chuckles and smiles.

"I think it's cool. It's nice to be passionate to something you like. No wonder why Cater recommends you to join the photography club." Trey compliments.

"Thanks Trey." Glory giggles.

"Hey, isn't that the strawberries?" Grim ask pointing his finger as they both look at Grim's direction to see an abundant bushes of strawberries much to their elation.

"Aah yeah. That's the one." Trey replies with a grin.

"Holy moly! They're so many!" Glory chirps with her eyes sparkling at the sight of the strawberry bushes.

"I wanna eat them all!" Grim chimes while drooling with Trey chuckling and grinning at their cheery expressions.

"Shall we get harvesting?" He ask curiously.

"Sure!" Glory perks up.

"Hell yeah! Let's collect all these strawberries!" Grim cheers.

"I'll go to the left, you guys can collect them to the right. Deal?" Trey ask curiously and both nod.

"Deal!" They both replied.

"Great. I'll be over here if you needed me." Trey informs.

"Kay. Thanks Trey! Come on Grim let's grab some strawberries." Glory said.

"Yeah, I can't wait to get a hand on these." Grim chirps.

"But don't eat anything off the ground while you're at it. Got it?" Glory reminds.

"Yes mom. I get it." Grim sarcastically replies rolling his eyes with Trey chuckling. Soon he slightly tilts his head giving Glory a loving smile, but didn't expect to say this.

"...Things would be great if you choose to stay in our dorm." He mutters which shocks him and Glory spins her head with a puzzled look.

"What was that?" Glory ask curiously making him blink twice and shake his head before letting out a chuckle.

"Hehehe. Nothing. It's nothing at all. Just be sure not to go far alright?" Trey informs them while smiling sheepishly. Glory curls her brows skeptically though she didn't want to pressure him so she decided to let that slide and smiled a bit.

"We won't...See ya Trey." Glory said with a warm smile as she and Grim went to the right side of the strawberry garden. Once they're gone, Trey pinches his forehead shaking his head for blurring out like that.

What were you thinking Trey? You can't do this to Riddle. He's your childhood friend. Besides, Gloriane-san had a bad breakup with her ex. No way, I can't do this when she's in a state like this.

Trey thought knowing that Riddle has feelings for Glory and couldn't betray him due to his growing feelings for Glory. Soon memories of her start to flash in his mind when he first met her at the Cafeteria.

————————
I'm Gloriane Corbett, but you you can call me Glor or Glory for short.

Then the kitchen when she talked about her childhood and her ex boyfriend.

I've been bullied for my voice when I was little. I was part of a talent show and I was about to performer a song until those idiots ruined it for me by releasing a tarantula and it crawled on my back. It causes me to developed stage fright and Arachnophobia. As a result, I stopped singing and hidden my singing voice for years because I was afraid of being judged and bullied again.

I've been training myself to get stronger and braver with my dad who was a pro-wrestler. Then years later, I focused on other hobbies such as track and field, photography, and writing. I even have friends and family who are supportive of me. Then there was my boyfriend turned ex boyfriend because our relationship got slowly strained during our senior year....He cheated on me.

I was heading towards his house to return the book I borrowed until I caught him with a girl on top of him when I opened the door.

Lastly it was the library when she gave him a reality check after revealing her healing powers and her secret meeting with Merlin.

While I do understand your reason....I feel like you're enabling him so much to the point where he has become more self righteous and it makes him not realize he's wrong the entire time.

Trey, you and Cater can't keep allowing Riddle treat other people in your dorm like this. You gotta think out of the box and grow a backbone for once! You're an individual after all, so you must stand up for yourself!

Then two days later, it was before the Magift tournament when Glory healed him the second time in his room

Flower, gleam, and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine~

Lastly it was the beginning of the Magift tournament where Glory performed at the coliseum on live television for the first time.

Oh oh oh oh!
Try everything!
Oh oh oh oh!
Try everything!
Oh oh oh oh!
Try everything!
Oh oh oh oh!
Try everything~!

While reminiscing back at the memories, Trey clench his fists with his gold eyes filled with love and...he doesn't deny it. He finds himself falling for the strong, kind, and beautiful ravenette. Throughout his life, he's been enabling Riddle for so long until a girl named Gloriane Corbett enters his life and shines a light to his world causing him to open his eyes for eyes for the first time ever. How can people mistaken her as the next Gothel? All he sees is a strong and kind woman who brought light in his eyes.

Fond of the memories he shared with Gloriane, He crept a warm smile on his face before beginning to harvest strawberries.

Gloriane-san...I'm glad that you came to our school. Thank you for opening my eyes. You've made me become a better and stronger person than before.

Trey thought while smiling sweetly as he harvest more strawberries.

Meanwhile at the right corner of the bushes, Glory was picking out strawberries that are fresh with the best quality. As she picks up the strawberry, Glory hums as she carefully twirls the strawberry to make sure it doesn't have any specks on it and to her relief, it doesn't. She then place it in the basket and turns to Grim.

"Hey Grim. Make sure you grab fresh strawberries. We want them to have that tartness that we need for our recipe." Glory reminds him.

"Yeah, yeah. I got it!" Grim assures while foraging strawberries and throwing them in the basket at the same time. Glory sighs and rolls her eyes and turns back to the bushes, but paused she felt something off for some reason. Slowly alarmed, Glory lay the basket of strawberries and pulls out her glove revealing her sundrop flower tattoo to extend her left hand to the sun.

"Flower, gleam, and glow
Let your power shine!"

Glory chants as a beam of light burst into the garden where she heard a yelp from the right. Detect its voice, Glory marches towards the bush on the right and shove a couple a twigs away. She was shocked when Glory sees Rook rising up from the ground.

"My, that's some magic you got there." He remarks. Without hesitation, Glory grabs his necktie and pulls him close to her face.

"Alright, fess up. What's your deal here, Rook?" Glory commanded giving him a dead serious scowl.

"Hey. What's with the-! Eek! It's the creepy huntsman!" Grim shrieks dropping the fresh strawberries to the ground.

"Aah!? Creepy? Your harsh words have plunge into my heart it hurts!" Rook dramatically gasped feigning pain, but wince when Glory grips his tie against his neck not taking any nonsense from the nosy huntsman.

"Cut the sh#t, Rook! Why were you spying on me?" Glory demands not getting very pissed at this point.

"What!? He spied on you?!" Grim shrills, but the huntsman chortles heartily.

"Haha! Fret not, ma Maginifique Nymphe. I came here with no harm..." Rook then opens his sly green orbs with a smirk.

"Or should I say...Future Reine Des Merveilles Torsades.~" He implies stunning Glory completely along with Grim.

"Eeeehh!! He knows our secret!?" Grim shrieks.

"How did you-!"

"It appears that ma petite nymphe is hiding a little secret. Who knew that the magnifique nymphe I've adored turned out to be a vixen in disguise? Who also happens to be the Future Queen of Twisted Wonderland just like what that little nurse from the infirmary said. I have to say, you're full of surprises.~" He compliments with a devilish smile.

So he overheard my conversation with Merlin!

Glory thought. Ticked off, Glory releases his tie and folds her arm with a frown.

"You're quite nosy for a huntsman, ya know." Glory snarks.

"That you have a point, ma nymphe, but..." Rook lifts her chin to his green orbs locking them to her grey eyes.

"As a huntsman, I'm also stubborn. You understand right? If you run away, you're asking to be chased. Besides, you're just as bad as moi since you and your friends were spying on us from your last visit to our dorm." Rook point out freaking Grim out.

"Eeeeh! You knew we were there the entire time? You jerk!" Grim hisses and was about to pounce on him, but stop when he heard Glory letting out a soft giggle before she turns back to him with a smirk.

"I'm not bad, I'm not good either. I'm just flawed just like any other human being." Glory reassures making Rook smirk back.

"Oh, but dear Mademoiselle. You are bad." Rook retorts as he takes her left hand containing the sundrop flower tattoo.

"Keeping a secret from not only me from everyone else in this campus. You're quite the sneaky one, nymphe.~" Rook remarks.

"I have my reasons why, but since you've overheard my conversation with Merlin a minute ago. I guess I don't have a choice but to tell you." She said.

"What!? You're gonna tell him!?" Grim shrills looking at her with a dumbfounded look.

"Why wouldn't I? He already figured it out, so I might as well tell him. IF he promises to keep it a secret from everyone in this campus including Pomefiore's Head Dorm himself, Vil Schoenheit." Glory suggests much to his elation.

"Everyone has their own secret especially mine. If it's a secret you want to keep, then it's a secret that I will support. You have my word." Rook reassures as Glory sighs and glance back at the huntsman.

"Alright...." She sighs.

"Ugh, such a pain...." Grim groans where this is going to be a rough day for Glory when she decides to tell the persistent huntsman and Pomefiore's vice dorm by the name of Rook Hunt about her secret meeting with Merlin.
