Raven's cackle echoed through the land. Through bookend, through each and every kingdom. She sat on her feathered-throne, stroking her long, raven locks. A plan was forming in her head; she had already poisoned Apple, cursed Briar and killed-off Wonderland. There was no more…. Nothing to conquer.
Since she was 9, Raven had been cursed to become evil the morning of her 16th birthday. From then, she sent the students of Ever After High running, screaming down the halls. She burnt down the castleteria and the charmatorium. Raven completely secluded her self from the outside world, gaining sorcery level every day. By the age of 21, she was higher than her mother. Level 76. She cursed people, banished people but a certain prince was hurt the most. Dexter Charming. His girlfriend had shut him out, well ex, that is.
Raven wore a long-sleeve, purple lace dress with a cape connected to each point on her collar. Her lips were drenched in black lipstick and her eyes in purple eye-shadow. Perhaps Apple and Daring would like a surprise visit…from an old friend Raven thought to her self. Her cloak of infinite darkness draped over her head and shoulders, a silver crown adorned her face. She cackled once more, before collection a carefully selected variation of vial's, gracefully placing them in her bag.
Raven looked regal as she crossed troll bridge, not even being questioned. After all, she was the evilest in Ever After. There were reward posters with her face on them pasted everywhere. Her Good King was still to come. Deep, deep, deep down she hoped it would be Dexter Charming. She hadn't seen him since graduation; he supposedly married Ashlynn Ella, or Holly O'Hair.
Raven stopped in her tracks and slowly moved her head down…her bag was gone.
"This is an order from your queen. Give me back my bag or suffer the consequences" Raven demanded. There was rustling from a near by tree. The tree went up in purple flames. More rustling. More flames. "SHOW YOUR SELF, AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN. I WILL SEND EVER AFTER UP IN FLAMES" Raven's hood came down and rested on her shoulders. She released a heavy sigh, but immediately brought it back in. There was a deathly silent, and an eerie presents behind her. Raven spun around to the most handsome prince she had ever seen (she'd seen a lot of princes in her time, they were killed, of course).
"Hello, Your Majesty" he had brown hair, spiked up with a golden Daring-style crown. He wore a blue blazer and black trousers, sword at his hip. Sideburns crawled down his cheeks; he also bore a small beard. Upon his greeting, Raven cupped his chin, dragging his face to eye-level. "hmmmmmm" she tilted his left. "Do I know you?…you look familiar" She then tilted it right and removed her porcelain hands. The prince began to speak, but was silenced with a finger to his lips. They were cold as ice. He grabbed the hand and removed it from his lips.
"My name is Dexterous Charming" he then held his sword-handle, seeing the shock in Raven's face. "Perhaps you do know me" Raven pushed the prince out of the way against a wall, trying to deny her feelings. It couldn't be could it? No, he was married by now.
"Raven, please. It's me! Dex…..Don't do this! It isn't you…." He was begging, Raven could feel the despair a mile away. She held it in, pushed it all down. The tears, every feeling and emotion she had. Gone. Destroyed years ago.
"Look, this is me now. Whatever we had…it's gone. Just leave it" she was still denying her feelings.
All of a sudden, Dexter appeared in front of her caressed her cheek, hand on her back; leaning in for a kiss. Raven accepted the kiss without hesitation. After pulling away, she slapped this new-found prince. "HOW DARE YOU….you…" It was like the evil had been sucked out of her, by one, measly kiss.
"True loves kiss will break the spell" Dexter whispered softly.
And They Lived Happily Ever After
