Prologue
RAVEN'S POV
I turned 28 last week. Marking my 7th year in mirror prison, potentially my final. The Royal Council of Ever After (who consisted of Daring, Dexter, Darling, Ashlynn and Briar) gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Either I rot away in my cell, covered in rusted chains or marry a King whose destined wife went off script. Daring Charming. He was supposed to keep me 'in control', prevent the magic. I was supposed to listen to him, obey Daring's every command. We were 'happily' married at a church and immediately moved into his palace. I was to wear magic-blocking handcuffs at all times, however, when guests are around it was to be magic-blocking gloves. Urgh, rules.
The Back Story.
When I was 9 years old, my mother decided that I would never be evil, I was hopeless. So she cursed me. The day I turned 16, I would become evil, just like her. That happened exactly. I rampaged through the halls, burnt down the castleteria and charmatorium. Sent every fairytale running for their lives.
When I reached my boyfriend (Dexter Charming), I caused a huge augment between us. Dexter then tried to kiss me, insisting True Love's Kiss will break the spell. I slapped him and ran. I was excluded from Ever After High and I haven't seen anyone since.
When I turned 21, I killed off Wonderland, poisoned Apple and other unimaginable things. But alas, this would not continue. I was tricked by no other being than Dexterous Charming. He lured me in, pretended to love me. I should have known, but I was too busy gazing into his eyes. I followed him to his castle, where he left me in a room. Daring, Dexter, Hopper, Hunter and Darling appeared, all armed with swords. I tried to cast a spell, but my magic had been blocked. No wonder Dexter had hugged me so much. They all moved forward, one step at a time until I was completely surrounded. The ground opened up, and a large, framed mirror swallowed me up. I cried and cried as I heard them all cheer. I had shouted something as I was sucked into the mirror, if I remember correctly, it was:
"Queen's Honor, Dexterous Charming…If I ever get out of here, I'm coming for you first"
