Chapter One: Arrival

The new students of Ever After High were arriving.

The old students were there to greet them.

It was only a few weeks after Thronecoming.

And Apple White was hexicted.

Why Apple White?

Just shut up, listen, and narrate…

Okay! Geez! *ahem*

Raven paced back and forth nervously, greeting students from time to time.

The twin daughters of Rumpelstiltskin, Rachel and Raina.

The daughter of Captain James Hook, Jane Hook.

The son of the Beast, Ben Beast.

And many others.

But there was one who still didn't come.

Her half-sister.

Apple White, the fairest of them all.

Or so she thought.

That was when the entryway of the school suddenly felt bone-chilling.

And then, the girl walked in.

She had long hair that went to her knees.

Silvery, black hair, highlighted with streaks of midnight blue.

Metallic eyes, with a hint of blue.

And pale, pale skin.

And she was much, much, much prettier than Apple.

"I am Nyx Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen!" she announced in a demonic voice.

Everyone gasped, running away.

Apple squealed and ran up to her.

"You must be Apple White." she hissed in a melodic voice.

Much more melodic than Apple's.

And that annoyed her.

"And you, my new villain!" she exclaimed, pulling Nyx into a hug.

Nyx scowled and magic burst from her fingertips, blasting Apple across the room.

"Ha! I knew it! Of course you'd be here, Nyx! I mean, the thunder, the screams, and Apple squealing!" laughed Raven, walking into the school.

Nyx beamed. "Raven!"

The two shared an embrace.

Nyx was the first to pull away.

"Hey, where's everyone?" whined a girl with icy white hair, cut into a lob.

She had pale skin and stormy blue eyes.

The girl wore jeans and a white hoodie that had frost near the edges.

She glared at Nyx. "Nixie, you didn't scare them away, did you?" she moaned.

Nyx shrugged "Sorry." she apologized.

The girl laughed. "Forget about it! I'll get 'em back for sure! Hey guys! I'm Jacqueline Frost, daughter of Jack Frost! You can call me Jackie! This is my friend Nyx. Don't worry, she's not as scary as she seems!" she assured, yelling into the empty hall.

One person peeked out.

That person was Blondie.

Jackie smiled. "Don't be shy! Let's have some… fun."

Jackie raised her staff. The floor glazed over with ice.

A boy in blue, royal robes slipped out. "Hello, Frost."

"Hello, Snow." she teased back.

The other students, who were in hiding, got less nervous.

Many others appeared from other rooms or from inside their lockers.

Nyx backed up. "I don't belong here." she muttered, heading to the forest.

Apple groaned, getting to her feet. She noticed Nyx leaving and sneaked away from the entryway. She followed her into the enchanted forest.

Nyx turned and glared at her. "What do you want Apple?" she growled.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"What does it look like?" she muttered.

Apple put a hand on her shoulder. "You're fairy, fairy different from Raven."

"Yeah, I noticed." she grumbled.

Apple laughed. "I like you. Do you promise to be the best villain possible?" she asked.

Nyx smirked, her eyes glowing a faint blue. Black energy swirled up her arms. "I already am, little fruit." she taunted.

The blonde princess beamed and hugged her. "Friends?"

"Friends by choice, enemies by destiny." she whispered returning the hug.

"Nice to see you again, Jace Snow." Jackie laughed.

"You too, Frost." Jace whispered, pulling her into a squeeze.

The future Jack Frost was shocked by his embrace.

Blondie quickly took a picture for her Mirrorcast.

Jackie pulled away. "Better get to my dorm. I wanna know who I'm rooming with"

Jace waved good way and the two went their separate ways.

Jackie pulled her ice covered bags to her dorm room.

She opened the door to find Raven.

"Raven? I thought you roomed with Apple?"

Raven shrugged. "Nyx was supposed to be your roomie but Apple insisted that me and her switch." she muttered.

Jackie looked shocked. "You're allowed to do that?"

The kind witch nodded.

"Man, Nyx was right about EAH being different from Fairytale Academy…" she mumbled.

Raven smiled. "Yeah. Anyways, Apple and Briar came to decorate your side of the room."

Jackie examined her half of the dorm.

Everything was white and ice blue, covered with frost, ice, or snow.

Icicles dripped from a chandelier above her bed.

Jackie plopped herself onto the bed. "So, I heard rumors about this Rebels and Royals thing you have here. Is it true?" she asked.

Raven nodded. "The Rebels, like me, want freedom from destiny. We believe that we should be able to write our own stories, instead of following our parents footsteps. The Royals think that they should stick to the script and keep everything in order. What about you?"

Jackie shrugged. "At Fairytale Academy, we follow our destiny. In a completely different way. Jack Frost is all about fun, yeah? So I do what I think is fun. Therefore, I'm a natural Rebel. Jace is the son of the Snow Queen of Arendelle. She was all about freedom and love. So Jace does what he loves and has the freedom to do what he likes. Since Nyx has the same mother as you, you probably already know. She wants to accomplish what she desires. And that desire is to be the most beautiful, the most powerful. So she follows her destiny. Rachel and Raina wish to be rich with things they want. So they also follow their story." she explained.

Raven nodded. "That sounds… reasonable."

"And of course, if someone in a Royal's story is a Rebel, we always have the Nevermore and Forevermore families. Those two families will do anything to get a story." she scoffed.

Raven smiled. "I always knew Nyx went there, but I never bothered to visit. Now, maybe I will."

Jackie jumped to her feet. "That's awesome! I'll go with you when you do!"

"Special tour included?"

"Special tour included." the snowgirl confirmed.

Daring ran across the castleteria and up to the hooded girl, playbook in his hand.

"Hey Daring!" Cerise greeted. "I found some awesome plays we can try out."

The two captains were going over new plays to use for the bookball game.

As Cerise ranted on, Daring stared at her.

Cerise noticed. "Um, Daring, are you listening?"

Daring snapped out of his trance. "Oh sorry, could you say that again?"

Cerise groaned and started from the beginning.

Daring sighed and mustered up his courage. "Are you going to Briar's welcome party?"

Cerise shrugged. "Depends. It's on Saturday, right?"

He nodded.

The half-wolf shook her head. "That's when I go for a run in the forest."

"But isn't the forest kinda dangerous for you, being the daughter of Red?"

Cerise laughed. "Nah."

Daring blinked. "Well, I was going to ask you if you wanted to go with me…" he admitted, blushing.

She shifted her feet. "Really?"

Daring looked up and smiled shyly. "Yeah…"

"Well, if it makes you happy…"

"Thank you!" he exclaimed.

"No prob, Charming."

"Well, see you later, Hood." He stood and walked away.

Her jaw dropped. "We haven't finished talking over the plays yet!"
