Author's Note: So new story, yeeeeaaaah! And it's a Ever After story too. I just love mythology, fables and fairy tales and Ever After High gives me a chance to tackle them head on. Point of interest, I also like worlds that are built from a bunch of smaller worlds put together too. So after finishing one story, I decided to start working on another. So, Read, Review, Favorite and Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Welcome To Ever After High Evil Queen

"I will destroy them! I will reduce all of them to a bloody ashen smear across the ground! I will make every single one of them regret ever hearing the title 'Evil Queen'!"

The Carriage shook as it crossed a bump in the road in the forest, jarring the witch sleeping in the back of the carriage awake. Letting out a tired yawn the young witch looked outside and saw the sign 'Welcome to Ever After High.'

"Well Raven, welcome to Hell." The young witch stated to herself.

"Not too late to turn back." The Coachman stated looking over his shoulder back at the young witch named Raven.

"No, it is."

As the young witch stepped out of the carriage passerby's took note of her wardrobe, Silver knee length boots underneath a long ankle length black skirt, a black leather corset worn under a white long sleeve shirt, worn under a black shawl, a black witches hat ending in a curl and finally three amethyst piercings, one in her brow, one hanging from her ear, and one in her tongue. Not that too many took notice of what the witch was wearing, too busy fleeing in terror of her.

Raven left the carriage, going back she pulled out a trolley, such choice items visible as a cauldron, a leather suitcase, and a pet carrier with some manner of unpleasant creature inside based on the noises that it was making and the rumbling it was producing. Raven crouched slightly and opened the carrier.

"Don't worry girl, we're be there soon." Not willing the wait, the small black dragon flew out of the carrier and wrapped herself around Raven's neck nuzzling herself into the Witch's cheek. "Couldn't wait eh Nevermore?" Raven replied to the dragon's affections with a smile on her face and a scratch on a scaly cheek. "Alright lets get checked in." Whistling a merry tune, Raven walked towards the student dormitories, even as other students fled in terror of her.

Seeing as how it quickly became apparent that nobody would be opening the door for her Raven kicked open the door getting everyone who was already inside's attention.

"Hello ladies and gents. Raven Queen here." Removing her hat Raven bowed to the room. "Now would any of you heroes mind helping me with my..." standing up again, Raven saw that contrary to the buzz of teenager activity that the room was a moment ago the entire room had emptied itself out. "Luggage?"

Casting suspicious glances around the room as she went Raven walked right up to the reception desk, and noted that no one was coming out of hiding, even after she rung the bell a few times.

"I don't want any trouble just give me my room key and I'll be on my merry way." At once a hand shot up from below the desk nearly punching Raven in her face in the process, if it wasn't for the fact that it had a key in it she would feel mildly miffed about that.

(20%)

"Thank you kindly!" Raven stated taking the key in the process.

"Please leave!" A weak voice pleaded from beneath the desk.

Whistling a tune as she walked up to the stairs, Raven cast a levitation spell on her luggage and took a seat on it, the trolley serving as a elevator as the two went all the way up to the top floor, traveled all the way across the halls to the far side, and ignored every fear filled glance passed to her along the way.

Arriving at the correct room in question Raven opened the door to reveal a young lady in a green suit with white and purple hair and a large top hat.

"Maddie!" Raven shouted in joy her arms opened out wide.

"Black Birdy!" Maddie Hatter shouted back using her pet name for the bird themed witch rushing over and giving the witch a hug. "Queen of Hearts I don't have enough fingers and toes to tell how long it's been!" Releasing Raven from her hug the two girls sat down on the bed, Raven quickly slouching into a position that looked far more uncomfortable than the confident stride that she walked with when she was going through the dormitory earlier. "So first with the caterpillars?" Having been seen through almost effortlessly Raven hung her head low. "I know just the remedy!" Removing her hat Maddie removed a white rolled up table cloth and rolled it out, followed by the sound of a thunk as a table and tea set appeared in the room. "Tea time!"

"Tea time's your answer to everything!" Raven replied giggling a little bit.

"No tea time is just on the side, my answer is If I didn't have my tea time?" Maddie asked as she poked Raven with her elbow.

"Then I'd suck on a lime!" Raven answered visibly cheering up with the start of the Wonderlandian rhyming game. "Okay my turn, if I didn't sleep in a bed?" Raven asked glad for a distraction from her woes.

"Then I'd roll around in warm bread." Maddie stated snorting into a napkin what Raven strongly suspected was the contents of her tea cup. "Okay okay my turn! If I didn't have to be the Evil Queen?"

"'If I didn't have to be the evil queen...?'" Raven quoted her face twisting in confusion. "I... uh... don't know."

"Yeah!" Maddie stated clapping her hands together happily. "Okay let's play again!"

"Your attention please Students." A microphone outside of the doorway interrupted in a gruff and stuffy voice. "Please report to the Charmitorium to begin your orientation." Raven could only sigh, Maddie gave her a comforting pat on the back.

"Come on Maddie." Raven donned her mask of confidence. "Let's get this over with. Nevermore." At this the tiny dragon that was eating the baked goods on the table alongside the Dormouse snoozing in a tea cup stood at attention. "Make yourself at home." Showing the little dragon some affection Raven left the room, and was immediately tackled to the ground by a blonde missile.

"Oh Raven! I'm so glad to see you again!" A blonde haired girl with tanned skin, blue eyes, and a white laced red dress tackled the witch to the ground.

"And I thought I was happy to see Raven again!" Maddie stated barely containing her urge to roll around on the ground laughing to merely just her face breaking out in a wide smile.

"Apple! Can't breath!" Raven wheezed prompting Apple to remember what she was doing and quickly let go in a panic.

"OhmygoshRavenareyouokayIdidn'thurtyoudid..."

"Apple, breath..." Apple sucked in a deep breath of air before letting go in a whistle. "Feel better now?" Apple, who had just starved off a major panic attack, quickly nodded her head, burning off a bit more of the energy that had accumulated prior to barring witness to Raven in person for the first time in ten years. "Good. Now unless you want to keep the head master waiting Miss Goody Two Shoes we need to be getting to orientation."

At that Raven separated from her friends and went to the Charmitorium.

Immediately you could tell who was the Favorited by the staff. Each chair had a name on it, down in front were large comfortable thrones for the various individuals who were expected to have happy endings. The rest were folding chairs bolted to the ground made of uncomfortable plastic. Maddie was kind enough to give Raven her spare seat cushion before they went to their own seats.

"Good morning to you students." The Headmaster, a stout man dressed in a blue coat and light grayish blue vest with a light blue ascot with a golden decoration with a red stone on it. He has a dark grey mustache, green eyes and dark gray hair with lighter stripes. "For those of you who don't know me. I am your Headmaster Milton Grimm. For those of you who do know me, then you are aware that for generations my family has served as a voice of neutrality at this school, in the position of headmaster." The Headmaster explained gesturing to the portraits hanging above his head in the rafters, showing a long line of brothers who looked similar to him.

"Yoinks this is gonna be a long one." Raven muttered, taking out from her pockets a length of twine as she began weaving together a charm for enchanting later.

"It is the duty of my family to watch over the future heirs to the stories, to ensure that the balance of our world is maintained. Towards this end, several of your teachers have offered to show you around the school where you will be spending the next four years of your lives." Maddie knew that the head master wasn't speaking Riddllish but mysteriously enough she automatically translated the end of that speech to 'now get up so that we can drag you through your daily routine for the next four years blah blah blah.' "For Villains, our head of the department of general Villainy Mr. Badwolf will show you around." The werewolf in a suit sitting next to the head master stood up, and when the student body didn't give him any applause he let out a small but audible growl, and suddenly the student rioted with cheers before he sat back down. "For Royalty, we have our head of Politics and Royalty adviser, Mrs. 'Her Majesty The White Queen.'" The woman in question with white hair, white dress and white skin stood up and curtsied to the crowd, much to the applause of much of the school. "Our head of Maidens in Training, Mrs. Maid Marian." The teacher in a blue princess outfit in question stood up and curtsied, again to much of the applause of the school. "Our head of heroics, King Charming XV." The Blonde haired man in a crown and a large regal looking cape stood up and bowed to the applause of the student body. "Now before you are dismissed for your tours..." Several teachers, including the Witch Baba Yaga, the short little man Rumplestiltskin and what suspiciously looked like a bear in a suit all shot the headmaster scathing glares but little else. "A reminder. Due to the cursing of Wonderland by the previous Evil Queen, you will be joined in your studies, by several transfer students from Wonderland High. During their stay here our foreign guests will be treated with nothing short of the absolute respect that they are deserving of as fellow members of the fairy tail community. Now then, on with your day, I'm sure that there is much you would like to be doing."

Raven could only grown, he just had to bring up her mother. She always had a way of aggravating her nerves, even when she wasn't even there. With that the three introduced teachers began funneling the students off into three different categories, which left Raven following behind Mr. Badwolf. Strangely enough, in spite of Raven's best efforts to stay at the back of the group, she inexplicably found herself in the front of the class whenever she found herself a little bit distracted. Adding to that she also had the nagging suspicion that someone was watching her, like boring into the back of her skull. Finally turning around Raven found the answer she was looking for, she was being stared at by the entire 'Villain' population of the school.

"WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE STARING AT ME!?" Admittedly Raven had freaked a little bit at the unwanted attention.

She wasn't the only one though, she had spat out a huge amount of black smoke like energy, and the student body was backing away from her terrified, understandable considering what she did to the hallway's plants that were little more than dark black rot smeared on the ground at the moment.

"Oh My gosh I didn't mean to..."

"Ms. Queen." Raven spun around and looked at Mr. Badwolf who had put a reassuring paw on her shoulder. "I think you should go back to the Charmitorium now."

Raven ran out of the 'Evil Wing' of the school all the way back to the Charmitorium, and climbed into certain house with legs.

"So as I understand it." Baba Yaga stated, sitting across from Raven in a chair while stirring a cup of fresh tea in elderly wrinkled hands. "You've been trying to keep your emotions bottled up all day long, and now you're suffering the consequences."

"It's hard yah know, putting on a brave fast and pretending that you're not miserable all the time." Raven sighed her mug of steamy liquid untouched in her hands.

"Raven, in case this hasn't been beaten into you every single moment of your life since the day that you were born: You. Are. A. Witch! Your emotions have power, if you keep bottling that power up... I won't be able to help you when you break."

Baba Yaga looked seriously into Raven's eyes, glared even, in that silent scolding way. Breaking. It was a terrifying way to go, the mere thought had sent shivers down Raven's spine.

"You're taking my magic classes. No argument. You are letting that darkness out of you no matter what, even if you have to do it one tiny little bit at a time." Raven nodded her head solemnly.

"Home Evilnomics, and Magicology right?" Raven asked looking at the class schedule, the two classes the witch taught were listed alongside General Villainy, History of Evil Spells, Witchness Management, Science and Sorcery, Grimnastics, Beast Training and Care, Mythmatics and Chemmythry. "I don't even get to pick my classes? Any of them?"

"Students are required to take the classes that best suit their destinies. If it makes you feel better, Home Evilnomics will help you practice forging magical links to other creatures. If you aren't going to start releasing all of that pent up magical power yourself, perhaps allowing others to do it for you would be the more intelligent course of action. Magicology will teach you generalized magical spells, safe and simple ways to release that magical energy. History of Evil Spells, as someone who's had to play both guide and villainess, I don't mind telling you that dismantling curses is a excellent career choice for you after you're done with the whole fairy tale business. Science and Sorcery is also a excellent means to learn magic and vent your power. Personally I would assume that you would be eager for Beast training and Care, what with a certain pitch black monster under your care." Raven admitted to the only class on that list that she felt reason to look forward to. "Grimnastics and Mythmatics are mandatory for all students. That said you can choose certain elective classes. Might I suggest Princessology or Royal studies?"

Raven looked at the elder witch like she had grown ten extra heads.

"More accurately..." With an annoyed tone the witch downed the contents of her cup. "The Headmaster suggested it. To be fair though. Polishing one's charisma is a important skill to the young future rulers of the lands, even if they are 'Evil.' As is learning how to manage the lands competently."

"Princessology? Really?" Raven asked still obviously dumbfounded. "Not many people realize this. But did it occur to you that if the 'Evil Lands' really were run by a tyrannical dictator then they wouldn't get very far? The Hypocritical princes and princesses of these 'fair lands' just love having a excuse to justify invading foreign territory and over throwing the old regime. A ruling party that does not have the support of the people is doomed to fail. Remember that young Witch Princess, or your head will be on a stump with an ax looming overhead." Baba stated narrowing a glare at the young Witchling.

"Well I'm not interested in ruling that way anyway so you have nothing to worry about." Harrumphing that out annoyed Raven looked down at the list of available courses. "What about Muse-ic?"

"Hmm." Baba tapped her fingers on her arm rest in thought. "If memory serves Muse-ic is at the same time as General Villainy." Raven let out a sigh, depressed if nothing else. "I'll need to discuss the matter with Headmaster Grimm and Professors Piper and Badwolf but I don't see why this should be a problem." Baba stated as she pored herself a fresh cup. "Now if I'm not mistaken the groups should be getting back right about now." Indeed the groups did start flooding the Gym, before diffusing away to go back to their dorm rooms to unpack.
