EVER AFTER HIGH: CIVIL WAR, CHAPTER ONE:
Author's note: this story was made after reading the FIRST, and only the FIRST, of Ever After High books. The rest of the content is based only on the first season and the first half of the second season. You're warned.
Raven entered the room with the huge mirror on it; as she always have done year after year since her mother's imprisonment. The mirror was the only connection she had with her mother, Darcy "Dark" Queen. The living armors guarding the room moved aside as soon as they felt Raven's presence, and once she was in the room, Raven looked to the mirror.
"Mother! Mom, I'm here!
Soon, the mirror showed some kind of weird-looking fog between black and purple; an strange fog than slowly formed Darcy. The woman looked as always: powerful and evil, with an aura of pure darkness surrounding her. Raven smiled to her mother, after all the girl still loved Darcy even if they had their differences. Besides, this conversation was only once a year.
"Raven, my child" smiled Darcy. "You look so good, as powerful and beautiful as I was when I was that young. But you changed your look, my dear, you cut your hair and your clothes… are not dark at all. Is like you're fighting against all I want for you, Raven"
Raven chuckled examining her appearance: she changed a lot during the last year; after all she learnt she doesn't had to be evil anymore, she was free to write her own destiny. Her recent changes were that she cut her hair and combined the purple with green aquamarine, a style inspired by her best friend Maddie.
"Mom, I don't know if your dark spies already told you about this, but I don't care anymore about my legacy since I refused to sign the Story Book of Legends. No matter what you, or Apple or Milton Grimm told me, I'm not evil. I'm Raven, only Raven"
Darcy raised an eyebrow and shrugged chuckling evilly.
"What's so funny about it? I'm serious!" Said Raven.
"What's so funny, Raven? Seriously you're asking? Come on, you can't write your own destiny, or do you really thought you can have a Happy Ending? Be realistic darling, you're only delaying the inevitable"
"I'm free now! And no matter what you or Milton Grimm do, that's my reality now"
Darcy laughed even louder.
"The only one who have defeated Grimm was Bella Sister; and still, she didn't stopped Grimm for real. If you really want to defeat the old man, you have to destroy the book; there's no other way"
Raven stared to the mirror defying her mother with her eyes and, at the end, she left the room. Darcy Dark Queen only saw her daughter leaving and sighed before get lost in the darkness of the mirror.
The Good King looked at her daughter but didn't dared to interrupt her thoughts before seeing Raven teleporting to school.
Raven appeared directly in Ever After High, the only place she felt her victory over Grimm has worth it, so she walked directly to her room thinking all had change for the best, but she was wrong. Once she was at her old room.. she noticed it was locked.
"Okay, that's a new one"
The girl tried to force the entrance but again, it was useless. At the end Apple White opened the door and let her in, but ignoring her as she did since the last year. Once inside the room, Raven noticed Apple was in the middle of a party with Briar and Daring and the rest of the Royals. Again, Raven didn't cared about it and left the room once she deposited her things in her half.
"Please go on, I'm going to see if Maddie and Cedar had already arrive"
The Royals stared at Raven with a blank sight and continued their fun once she left. In the meantime, Raven was smiling to herself; thanks to her friend's support, she was able to get over all the obstacles putted by Principal Grimm and the Royals and was more determined than ever to write her own destiny.
The Royal-Revel conflict has only grew since it started and at some point, the Royals started to attack the Revels but they were still fighting for their cause. The only thing that Raven felt sorry about was that Dexter stopped talking to her but again, she had her friends so it didn't matter that much.
…
When she found Maddie, the crazy girl was reading a strange book while laughing as a demented mental patient; but again Raven felt warm inside when she looked at her best friend. Maddie was wearing a lavender color baggy blouse with aquamarine leggings that left nothing to imagination letting Raven guess what kind of underwear Maddie was wearing. Raven blushed examining Maddie's figure but again, she entered to the room.
"Hey Maddie!"
"Raven, hi! Is so wonderful to see you again; like a walking oyster. By the way, have you being living tea-rific days as I did?"
"Is so good to see you Maddie, so good to see you" chuckled Raven. "So, I was thinking, what about a picnic with the rest of the gang? We surely have a lot to talk about"
Maddie nodded very excited.
"But of course my friend! By the way, you look so…"
"Evil?"
"Rebel, my friend. Rebel; and it looks so fan-fucking-tastic!"
Raven blushed, but after all, smiled. Maddie was unique; truly unique.
"By the way, I admire you Raven" said Maddie with a bright smile.
Raven blinked a little surprised.
"What? Why?"
"Because you're brave, and I mean brave; like a small caterpillar facing the Jabberwocky. Bravery really suits you, Rave"
"Thank you Maddie, but why?"
"Because you were the only one who fought for your ideals, for what you really wanted; you didn't give up even if all possibilities were against you. That's why I admire you Raven"
If it was possible, Raven blushed a little more but didn't say a word and went to the picnic with the rest of the Rebels along with her best friend.
That small party was really fun, having company with all the Rebels: Hunter, Cedar, Cupid, Kitty, Cerise, Sparrow, Tiny, Melody, Popper and Piper. And as a party organized by Briar, the fun extended until night.
When Raven returned to her room, she was in excellent mood; not even Apple's foolishness could angry her now.
"The only good thing about this stupidity of the conflict is that Apple can't bother me with her stupidity since she doesn't talk to me anymore"
And then she noticed than someone, surely Apple, put all her things out of her room. Raven sighed arming herself with patience and knocked the door.
"Okay, this was a funny one Apple but open the door. I need to rest!"
Locked. Raven just rolled her eyes and tried to open the door but it was useless. But the, Apple opened it for her along with Briar.
"Oh! I'm sorry Raven, but Briar and I are having a slumber party for best friends, and Rebels are not allowed. If you don't mind, go to sleep somewhere else; but of course you can sign and you'll be more than welcome"
Raven sighed with patience; after all they lived together, she used to Apple's tantrums.
"Forget it, okay? I'm going to sleep with Maddie. Good night"
Apple grumped a little.
"Before you leave, Raven, I have to tell you: I'd planned slumber parties with the rest of my Royal friends during the month; and next one too. I hope you don't mind"
Raven shrugged.
"Stop this idiotic thing, Apple. We can always speak with Principal Grimm"
"Oh, Principal Grimm isn't conformed with your attitude, dear Raven; after all he was the one who authorized me to take extreme measures to make you sign. And let her out of your own room was the best of my ideas!"
Raven ignored the girl and continued her way to the room of Maddie and Kitty. She knocked the door.
"She kicked you out" — said Kitty.
"How do you know?"
"We can hear the narrators, I thought that was clear. Right now even Lizzie knows" said the Kitty bored. "Anyway, you're just in time, we're about to sleep.
Raven nodded and entered.
"Raven! I prepared the bed for the both of us!" Announced Maddie.
Kitty sighed.
"Whatever, try to keep it quiet, okay? My feline ears are very sensitive"
Raven better ignored the girl and opened her suitcase. She changed at the bathroom, her pajamas was a purple nightgown. Maddie thought she was beautiful.
They started to sleep once Kitty switched the lights off. No one said nothing, they were only sleeping.
Raven walked through the strange scenario: the Garden of Wonders; so demented, so strange, so charming… since every inch of the place remembered her friend Maddie. Maddie, her support; Maddie, her company of all life. The girl who didn't care about her past or their parents. Suddenly, a giant flower came out of nowhere and put on Raven's mouth. Raven started to suck at it.
A soft moan awoke her making Raven realize she wasn't sucking a flower but a woman's breast. Maddie's breast to be exact. Raven quickly separated from her friend blushing.
"Maddie! Maddie, I'm terribly sorry! I was dreaming and I just didn't think. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
Maddie just closed her eyes blushing.
"Don't worry about it, just go to sleep, okay?"
Still red because of the shame, Raven turned trying not to face Maddie, but it was really difficult.
"Raven"
Raven sighed crying.
"Maddie, I'm so sorry; please forgive me! Tomorrow I'll ask Cerise for help, don't worry about me anymore. What I'm saying? I'm going right now, just go back to sleep"
"No, you don't understand Raven! I kind of… liked what you did"
Raven's face turned even redder.
"Maddie, I…"
Maddie made Raven turn to face her and kissed her softly.
"I love to have fun with you, I love to play with you. I… I love you Raven Queen!"
And at this point the mad hatter's daughter couldn't stop talking.
"Raven, both of us are women but still I can't feel any other way about you. I know you felt something for Dexter before the conflict got worse, but this is something I can't control. I love you Raven and I want you to be my woman"
Raven blinked surprised, that was the first time someone declared her love for her.
"Maddie, forgive me but I just…"
Then she started to remember: how she discovered herself admiring Maddie's anatomy, how her heart went crazy every time she saw Maddie; how much she changed trying to be more like Maddie. Raven was in love, in love with her best friend.
"Maddie, my dear Maddie, my beautiful Maddie, do you know why my favorite place in the Enchanted Forest is the Garden of Wonders?"
Maddie nodded.
"Because it remembers you me"
Raven nodded and again, she felt Maddie's lips pressing against hers with passion. It tasted funny, like tea with cake. And there it was, Maddie's tongue forcing its entrance to Raven's mouth making Raven moan while her hands were exploring Maddie's breasts, trying to feel as much as she could, and Maddie was exploring Raven's butt with playful passion.
"Raven, you taste like chocolate and wild berry jelly; I like it"
"You like tea and cake. And I love it"
They chuckled and kissed for a little longer when Raven reacted.
"Kitty! Oh, no!
Maddie shrugged.
"Relax, she left as soon you started that marvelous thing with your tongue. I think she wanted to give us some time alone"
Raven sighed.
"I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a very long day"
"Me too, but right now just want to enjoy the night side by side with my sexy new girlfriend. Wanna end what you started my love?
Raven smiled and left the rest to Maddie, after all she was right: they had to enjoy the night, just that.
