Short little piece about how Jade felt when Tori first came to Hollywood Arts.

She shows up and you're furious because all eyes are on her and it's wrong because just yesterday that was you and now, today, it's her. You fight the jealousy boiling in your gut. Beck is staring at her. Everybody is staring at her. You don't see anything special. She's no better than anyone and yet, you cannot take your eyes off of her. You yell, kick, and scream because everyone should see you and not her. You need to restore order in your kingdom and she clearly needs to be knocked into place. You've literally got her kneeling at your feet and it is so easy to dump the coffee on her head. She runs out of the room with her tail between her legs and you smile triumphantly because you won.

Or so you thought.

She comes back and kisses your prince. She gains the approval of your subjects and she doesn't have to make them fear her. You terrify everyone and you used to like the power that came with that, but now you feel empty.

She is the only one.

She is the only person to cross the moat surrounding your castle and fight the dragon. No one else dares to challenge you. Except her.

Who says your knight-in-shining-armor has to be a guy?

Maybe she isn't here to save your kingdom from you. Maybe she is here to save you from yourself.
