1. Welcome back to the Wrongway Legacy! Last time, we saw our
founders pass away, Grace being named the heir, a variety of first
kisses, including Elizabeth kissing her younger sister's boyfriend,
and Alice's performance in Sleeping Beauty as she found out about
the incident. So, it's time to get started!
2. It was a beautiful summer morning when the yellow taxi
pulled up outside the Riverside Dorms at the quiet campus of Rubix
University. Grace nibbled her lip, nervous, glancing up at the
building that would be her home until it was time to move to the
Greek House. Liam, terrified that Ralph would find his children, if
they went to La Fiesta Tech, where he had once attended, had
arranged for Stella and the Greek House to transfer to Rubix U. It
was safer that way. Thanks, Mr! Whitney called to the cab driver,
This is going to be great!
3. Non-stop parties, loads of people to make friends
with...it's going to be super! Whitney grinned, her happy babbling
covering up the fact she was feeling shy, and a little bit
lost.
4. Whitney and Grace soon settled into their crazy life among
the llamas, cow mascots and smustling dormies. It was almost fun
sometimes, but neither of them met anyone who they'd keep in touch
with for the rest of their lives. Besides, both girls were waiting
for their teenage partners to arrive at university. All Grace
wanted was to hang out with Orlando like the old times.
5. So, Whitney began, casually. Big date tonight with Orlando.
Grace just looked at her. Yes. We're meeting at the old brick wall
on the edge of the wood, and then he's going to take me for dinner.
Romantic. Whitney grinned. Well, it's moving day tomorrow, don't
stay up too late. With a wink, Whitney disappeared, and Grace stood
alone, wondering whether Orlando would be how she remembered
him.
6. Grace was supposed to be putting on her dress when she
answered the phone. It didn't bother her to run a little bit late,
because it was her younger brother, Eli. Eli! I haven't spoken to
you in ages! University's alright, I don't have many friends at the
minute. No of course I have time to talk to you. Grace paused, with
Eli sounding a little worried on the other end. Eli, what is
it?
7. Elizabeth did what? Again? I'll be right over, okay? Maybe
we can talk some serious sense into that girl. Forgetting
completely about her date with Orlando, Grace called herself a
taxi, so she could rush home.
8. Eli! Grace hugged her brother. He smiled. Good to have you
back, even if it is for all the wrong reasons. It's weird being
back. But I like it. I love home. It's always going to be your
home. Nearby, someone made a sound of disgust.
9. I don't see why I wasn't chosen to be heiress. Elizabeth
murmured. Clearly, Eli's talk hadn't sunk in. He muttered something
about kissing other people's boyfriends and generally being mean,
but neither him nor Grace spoke about Elizabeth's words.
10. Liz, Eli told me he caught you trying to go to Ralph's
again. Do you know what you are doing by seeking out Ralph? No. Nor
do I care. If I can't be heiress, I'll be glorified some other way.
By joining the villains of our family. Everyone remembers them!
Liz, everyone remembers you, what are you talking about? Elizabeth
stood up.
11. Rather be remembered as more than an heiress, I think.
Elizabeth, Ralph and Ariel have no time for anything other than
themselves. Go anywhere near them, and they'll kill you, without a
second thought. Don't make us have to hang another portrait in the
mausoleum. Grace, you don't know anything. Sure, you were kidnapped
as a baby. Boo hoo. That doesn't mean you know everything about
Ralph and his plans. Don't you care about anything he's done?
12. Eli watched in silence as Elizabeth's temper grew. I don't
care! This family wouldn't care if I was attacked by Ralph! Yes
they would. You know that, deep down. No, you want me to think
that. Grace, I'm not going to listen to you. I can't change your
mind, Liz. Just be careful. Grace sighed, admitting defeat.
13. Meanwhile, Orlando was leaning against a tree on the wall
that circled round Rubix University. Grace was already an hour
late, and a chill was beginning to form. Still, Orlando promised
himself he would wait.
14. ...and Wait... And wait...
15. Deidre eventually came to find Orlando, back from her own
date that evening, to find him sat on the floor, still hopeful.
Orlando...I don't think she's coming. De said, softly. But...but...
Give it up, Orlando, you're not staying out here all night,
waiting.
16. My date didn't go so well tonight either. Deirdre said,
sitting down next to him, placing her head on his shoulder. Orlando
watched her. He was a rich guy wanting to put a ring on my finger.
Ah. Yeah. You know what you need though? To stop being hopeful? To
dance. Dancing cheers everyone up.
17. The pair of them rose to their feet, and Deirdre carefully
took Orlando's hand. After that, it became very natural, and
Orlando began to relax. Grace shrank inside his mind. It's a
beautiful evening. De noted. Yeah. Perfect.
18. Oh, I hope I'm not too late! Grace fussed as she tried to
run towards the wall where she promised to meet Orlando. She caught
sight of something up ahead, and stopped.
19. Instinctively, Grace turned away, but she couldn't stop
herself from looking back. He promised me that I could trust him.
She told herself. I couldn't, I couldn't trust him. She walked away
and sat down, a wave of hurt and sadness crashing over her.
20. It was the last day of Eli and Elizabeth's teen years, and
to celebrate, generation three were relaxing in the place where
Grace used to with her friends. Elizabeth was bored out of her
mind, and Julia was excited to be spending time with everyone for
the first time since her birthday.
21. That guy's kind of cute. Julia commented on a guy walking
past. Don't even bother with boys, Julia, they only break your
heart. Alice responded, watching her youngest cousin. You don't
want a boyfriend to replace that idiot you used to date? Not worth
the effort. No matter who I decide to date, it won't work out in
some shape or form. That's a shame...
22. Hey, Eli. Nancy called, coming over. Elizabeth scowled why
was no one in this stupid town interested in her? Nancy! Isn't this
great? We'll go to uni together, and then we'll get married and
maybe have some kids... Eli, I need to talk to you about that, you
see...
23. I'm not going to uni. I'm going to travel the world, while
I can. Nancy pulled a face this wasn't easy. Great! I'll come with
you! Forget uni! Eli, that's not a good idea...I'm leaving the past
behind... But...me and you...three bolts...forever... I'm sorry,
Eli, but I need a fresh start. She paused. Goodbye, Eli.
24. Nancy turned her back on Eli and began to walk away. Eli
sighed. I'll never see her again. And that, Julia, Alice whispered,
Is why I'll never fall in love. It hurts less.
25. Soon, Elizabeth and Eli arrived at the dorms, with their
futures ahead of them. This outfit needs changing. Now. Elizabeth
sighed, Let's hope there's some cute guy here for me. Eli said
nothing as he stumbled out of the cab.
26. And here are the twins as they look now. Eli looks a lot
like his grandfather and his father, but there's a bit of Cassidy
thrown in there, as for Elizabeth, well, she grew up beautiful. As
expected. Both the twins were now ready to make their mark on the
uni.
27. Over at the Greek House, Whitney hadn't finished her
unpacking, but she had a good reason for taking a break. Debbie
King had arrived, Whitney's girlfriend from her teenage years. I'm
so happy to see you, Debbie! Debbie laughed a little. I'm glad to
hear that.
28. In fact, I know it's probably too soon, but I'll ask
anyway. Whitney sank to one knee. Butterflies invaded Debbie's
stomach. Debbie, you are my first, and hopefully last, girlfriend.
I don't see any future for me without you in it...
29. Will you do me the honour of being my wife?
30. Whitney...yes I will! Debbie took the ring from the box and
put it straight onto her finger. Many kisses followed this happy
moment.
31. While proposals and making-out happened in the living room,
Grace was picking at her salad in the kitchen. How could Orlando
promise her his trust and then slow dance with Deirdre? Wasn't
Deirdre supposed to be Grace's friend? It was all very confusing.
Mind if I sit here?
32. Stella gave Grace no opportunity to answer. Her pink hair
had been replaced with a more natural colour, and Stella was
feeling more confident in herself than before. Whitney told me
you're brooding over some guy, Stella smiled in a friendly way,
Word of advice, don't waste anymore of your time on him. It got me
and Ash in a right pickle. We're good friends again, because we
both let go. Grace looked at her meal, It's good advice. I'll try
to follow that. She didn't bother telling Stella she still felt
miserable.
33. News of Grace's heartbreak soon spread through the dorms,
and it gradually reached Eli. And he was not about to hide his
anger. I know how to find Orlando. Through Deirdre.
34. Of course, Eli found Deirdre. But he didn't expect De to be
cleaning tables at a local restaurant. You work here? He had to
double-check. It made no sense for De to work here. Pays the bills,
doesn't it? De looked up from her table. I know it's you, Eli, what
do you want? De turned to face him.
35. Oh crap! When did you grow up so handsome?! Why was I not
informed?
36. I...What? Eli gave her a blank look. Don't pretend you're
not here looking for Orlando, Eli. I haven't seen him since the
night Grace stood him up. And I'm his best friend! Grace did not
stand him up! Of course you'd say that! De sighed. Look, Eli, I
think this situation is for Orlando and Grace to sort between
themselves. I certainly want no part of it.
37. Eli took her hands. You're right, of course. Thanks for all
your help. You're welcome. We have to stand up for the people we're
close to, right? Exactly. But this time...we need to back off.
Yeah. It was nice to see you again Eli. Same. Bye, De. And with
that, Eli left the patio of the restaurant.
38. I'm not ashamed to admit I like him more than I should.
Especially considering everything that's going on. With a cheerful
sigh, Deirdre moved onto the next table, spending the rest of her
shift in a wistful silence.
39. Elizabeth had also had a productive day, through meeting
Travis. Of course, Liz was the shyest of all her siblings, so it
took her a few moments to tell him she liked him. We have one bolt.
That's enough for one date, right? I mean, it's not like you're
dating my sisters or anything. Elizabeth smiled, bored of being the
only one of her siblings to never have had a proper
relationship.
40. Travis. I presume you recognise me. Came a voice. A guy in
similar clothes came up behind Travis and took his hand. William. I
remember you, yes. Is there a problem? The rules, Travis. Talking
to norms is only okay if they are member material, and, William's
eyes looked at Elizabeth in disgust. She's clearly not one of us.
Why don't we talk about this later? Confused, Elizabeth
waited.
41. Travis, what's going on? Elizabeth asked, her eyes catching
another one of the suited guys who had arrived. Err...it's
complicated. It really is. It's not good for us to be friends. My
condolences. You listen to these guys? They're freaks. Do what you
want. If it were only that simple. Fine. I like your friend here
much better anyway.
42. Travis's friend was much more appealing to Elizabeth it
seemed, and so she dropped Travis in favour of Knut Wheeler.
William still made regular, complaining appearances, but it didn't
matter. Knut, who was a little bit naive, believed Elizabeth was a
sweet young lady, and wasn't prepared to give her up.
43. And now that Elizabeth had found someone she truly liked,
she wasn't about to let him go. She seemed happier, and for a
moment, her obsession with Ralph and revenge seemed swept
aside.
44. So, Eli began, falling onto the sofa beside Elizabeth,
Alice comes to university tomorrow. Next weekend we move to the
Greek House. And tomorrow, I'll be making my visit to Ralph. You're
not still going on about that, are you? Of course! Why should I
listen to Grace? Or you, for that matter? Eli looked straight
ahead. You have no idea what a mistake you're making.
45. The next day, Grace received a phonecall from Eli again.
She's gone to Ralph's? Will that girl ever learn? Grace gave a
worried sigh. I'll be there as soon as possible.
46. Grace arrived at Ralph's, and left the car without waiting
for Whitney, Alice or Frankie, reaching Eli first. Please tell me
our sister's not in there. Eli gazed steadily at Grace. Our sister
doesn't listen. No! Grace panicked. We have to get in there! The
door's locked, Grace. We've got no way of stopping her. Eli's voice
cracked slightly as he admitted this, and the others arrived at the
door.
47. What a first day at university. Alice mumbled, unnoticed by
her family. I hope Lizzie knows what she's doing. Whitney
announced.
48. Inside, Elizabeth had already found who she was looking
for. How did a Wrongway get in the house? Ariel asked. Good
question, my dear, Ralph glared at Liz. What do you want? Boldly,
Elizabeth took another step forwards. I've come to join you.
49. Elsewhere in Rubix, the events were making themselves
known. We have to get out of here. There's something going on with
Ralph. Finally, Hex. I was beginning to think you'd forgotten there
was a world outside this cell. Well, I don't see you coming up with
ideas. I'm...keeping a low profile.
50. Come on, Hex, pick the lock! It can't be that hard! Would
you like a try? He asked as the lock gave and the heavy iron gate
eased forwards.
51. Come on! He called. Before it's too late! That is, I
replied. If it isn't too late already.
52. Whitney and Frankie left to go tell Liam and Cassidy what
was going on, as Eli fell to the ground. Alice was so deep in
thought she didn't notice. I can feel everything. I know exactly
where she is in the house. I know exactly what's going on. Eli
managed to say, in between sharp breaths. Grace looked at him. Is
there a way we can get to her? Eli didn't respond, instead, he
started crying with pain and concern. Eli and Elizabeth's 'twin
telepathy' had joined them again.
53. Why won't she just kill me if that's her plan? Elizabeth
wondered as she hit the floor again. It was getting harder to stay
wake, each time one of Ariel's spells hit her. Feeling Eli watching
her, Elizabeth sighed. This was probably the end.
54. Ralph turned his back on Ariel and Elizabeth, and began to
walk away. Having a sidekick was fun, because he no longer had to
get his hands dirty. Finish her. He said to Ariel as he walked
out.
55. With pleasure! Ariel called back, and drew her final spell
from the air.
56. Eli? Grace asked, softly, as his eyes shut, and he laid
down in the grass. Eli? Wake up!
57. The fact Eli and Elizabeth were nowhere wasn't bothering
Eli as they stood amongst the peacefulness of a blue sky. Are we
dead? He dared to whisper. Elizabeth looked away. You're not, Eli.
I am. She sighed, Eli, I've been such a fool.
58. Eli looked at her carefully. You're dead? Yeah, she had a
touch of sadness to her voice. But Eli, you have to go back. You've
got to tell everyone not to cry over me. I was so rotten in my
lifetime...Especially to Alice... Don't worry about it, she'll be
fine, Eli sped up his thinking now that he knew time with Elizabeth
was short. Come back with me. I can't, Eli. This is it.
59. Right. A few things for you to do when you get home, Eli,
Elizabeth smiled. Tell Alice I love her, no matter how awful I was
in life, tell Knut that I would happily have proposed to him in our
senior year, and don't throw me a funeral. Why not? I don't want
people crying, or fake crying, or anything. My memory..well. Just
think of me occasionally. I don't even want a tombstone. Elizabeth,
this is weird. You can't be dead. You're still talking.
60. Of course I needed to talk to you before I left completely.
You're my twin, and I have messages to send back. Right. It's going
to be so lonely down there without you. It's going to be lonely up
here without my twin, but you have to go back, she continued. Eli,
one last thing. Tell Mum and Dad that I love them, and I'm
sorry.
61. I can do all that for you, Lizzie. I know I can trust you,
Eli. You're the best brother and twin I could ever want. I love
you, Elizabeth. Don't forget it. Believe me, I won't. And you won't
forget me? Never. And with that, Eli pulled her into a hug, tears
forming in his eyes.
62. Out of nowhere, Jim appeared. Ah, Eli and Elizabeth. He
smiled. Eli looked at his grandfather, looking younger than Eli
could ever remember him being. Grandad? That's me. Tell Grace to
get back with that boy already. I've been watching over you all,
and believe me, she would be so much happier with that boy. I'll
help you out, Grandad. Good! Jim looked at Elizabeth,
uncertainly.
63. I've said my goodbyes. It's time to go, isn't it? Elizabeth
looked worried. Jim nodded. It is. Don't worry Eli, she'll be safe
with us. Jim smiled, encouragingly, and Eli began to walk away,
knowing this was goodbye. He heard Elizabeth talking to Jim, Is
there still room for me up here, even after the mess I made down
there? Jim chuckled.
64. She's safe now, Eli thought to himself, as he walked into
what he hoped was consciousness Elizabeth is safe.
65. Eli was relatively calm as he began to come round. Even
though he knew Elizabeth was gone, he couldn't bring himself to be
upset. Perhaps it was their final talk that caused this, he
couldn't be sure. Once awake, he climbed to his feet and told his
siblings the news.
66. Elizabeth is dead? Grace repeated, and burst into tears.
Clearly, Eli's calm feeling didn't cover them too, so he did his
best to comfort them. He pulled Grace to her feet.
67. Alice sloped away to the car, no doubt to grieve in
private, as Eli and Grace stood talking. Don't cry for her, Gracie.
She doesn't want that, all she wants is for us not to forget her.
With a sniff, Grace tried a smile. She's alright now? Of course she
is. And in time, we will be too.
68. A meeting was beginning on the evening after Elizabeth's
death. Okay, I know I should be in jail, and that's it's daylight
so there's only a few of you, but we've got an issue to deal with
people. You know what? I don't need the microphone, I'll come sit
down there with you lot.
69. We need to discuss appropriate action after the death of
Elizabeth Wrongway. Why? Questioned the Plantsim. This is the
supernatural court, not an undertakers. Because, Blossom, she was
killed by a witch who was once a member of this court. We have to
take action.
70. It was a beautiful summer's day on the edge of Rubix woods,
and Eli had arranged to meet Grace for a picnic. As she arrived,
Grace couldn't spot Eli anywhere, but she could see someone that
she missed a lot.
71. Orlando was sat listening to music near a thin patch of
trees, and the nerves began attacking Grace. Should she go talk to
him?
72. She decided that she should, so began to walk over to where
Orlando had set up his blanket and things. He spotted her and rose
to his feet. Grace! I thought I'd never see you again. He smiled,
and allowed silence to fall. The corners of Grace's mouth began to
widen. I never thought I'd see you again...
73. Opposite Grace and Orlando, someone was watching them be
reunited. How did you know that would work?
74. Eli chuckled, a laugh that sounded much like his
grandfather's. What? You invited Orlando, I invited Grace, the pair
of them get back together? Oldest trick in the book, my beautiful
De. It's good to see them together again. De smiled, and reached up
to let her fingers cup Eli's. My grandfather would be happy to see
this.
75. And this is where I shall leave you! What action is the
Supernatural Court planning to take? How are the rest of the family
dealing with Elizabeth's death? Will I manage to finish playing
them through uni sometime before Christmas? Thanks for reading!
