Raven ran out of her dorm after haphazardly putting Apples phone in her bag. Raven had pulled back her jet black and purple hair with a hair tie to make sure it wouldn't get in her eyes while running towards the only logical place Apple would visit Ashlynn, the glass slipper. She slid down the rails of the staircases to get to the first story of Ever After High. Raven stopped when she saw Ashlynn, who was on her way to the glass slipper with Apple by her side. Ravens fists where clenched as she lowered her eyelids and slowly walked towards Apple. Apple was laughing and smiling about what Ashlynn was saying, she couldn't let anyone think there was something wrong. "Apple!" Raven said in an angry tone. Apple froze and put on a smile as she turned around and said "Oh hi Raven! What's up?" in the most innocent I-didn't-do-anything-wrong-don't-accuse-me-of-anything voice she could. "We need to talk about THIS." Raven said in a low angry voice as she lifted apples phone to reveal the text conversation. "Tell me EVERYTHING." Raven said. Apple froze, all she could say was "I- um..well I- um I was- um..." Apple looked at Ashlynn, she was reading the texts and had covered her mouth with her hand. "Well?!" Raven said angrily while tears where running down her face. "Hey let me see that for a sec raven..." Said Ashlynn, confused. Raven handed her the phone as Ashlynn began to scroll through the text conversation. "I- Look look I- I can explain!" Apple said quickly, you could see the fear in apples eyes as her eyes darted around. "Yeah you better!" Said Raven. "Yeah Apple, explain this." Ashlynn chimed in. "oh no...I blew it..." Apple thought as she brought both of her friends back to her dorm room. "Okay- You two just sit down...I'll- I will explain. " Apple said. Raven and Ashlynn sat down on two throw pillows as Apple said "Okay so.. here's- here's how it went..."

Apples P.O.V., 1 day ago.

I smile as I hear a text message come in on my phone, "Ooooooh! Briar!" I say out loud as I write back to her. I begin to start questioning what she is saying as the texts go on. "I know who you hate the most", "I want to do something criminal", "don't you want your ever after?" I start to shake a bit as a quickly respond to her messages. While I will do ANYTHING for the destiny I want, I can't risk my reputation. I get a few more texts, "I can trust Briar right? She knows how to cover something up, right?" I think as my eyes glow a sinister purple-y black color. "If only Raven knew why she was always so nice..." I think. I finally agree to do it. Later that day... I was getting my stuff together as raven was laying on her bed talking to me about something, Dexter maybe? I didn't know, or care enough to listen so I got my stuff and said "Okay Raven I'm gonna go visit Briar!" Before Raven could say anything I was out the door. When I arrived at Briars place I couldn't help but shudder at what I saw. The room was almost empty, Briar was moving back home and she had already packed up all her stuff. The only thing in the room was Maddie. She was passed out, and tied up to a chair. "How..." I said as I stood in shock. Briar closed the door behind me and said "What can I say, I have my ways. I stood there with a blank expression, I tried to say something but I didn't know what I would even say. "So? You gonna do something Apple?" Briar said in an annoyed voice as she examined a knife she had in her hand. The knife was fairly small, it was more of a dagger, really. It had a black handle made of hardened rubber with a small insricption written in it. The blade was made of gold, it had a gagged edge to the blade and looked sharp enough to cut someone straight in half. I walked towards Briar and asked "Hey so- Um can we not cut Maddie literally in half? don't you think we could get...caught..?" I looked at Briar dead in the eyes as my iris's glowed purple as I asked. "well, we do have another option.. if your up for it." Briar looked at me from the side with a smirk as she walked towards the window. She pointed outside with the blade of her dagger and sat on the windowsill. There was no glass covering the window and the sunlight spilled into the room. "What do ya' say? She said, her entire eyes glowed a darker color than they where usually seen as. I felt something come over me and felt compelled to throw Maddie out of the window. I smiled as I walked over to the chair Maddie was tied to, my footsteps echoed loudly as Briar said "Guess so.". I lifted Maddie effortlessly, Wonderlandians are generally short, and thus, light as a feather. I walked slowly towards the window, my smile getting bigger as I get closer. I throw Maddie out of the window, I hear her land in some bushes below as I smile, and walk out of the room with a smirk. I see Briar smile at me out of the corner of my eye as I walk out of the room. I give a hair-flip and shut the door. I look at the beautiful halls of Ever After High and it reminds me of the amazing destiny I will get to have now that I've gotten rid of Ravens distraction. As soon as I realize what I've done, I freeze, I could feel my heart sink into my chest as I panic and run towards my dorm room. "Did I really just do that? Why? Why why why? I'm terrible!" I think as I run to the dorm, I could see that it had gotten dark, As have I.

End of flashback / Apples P.O.V.

3rd person P.O.V.

"Apple I HATE YOU!" Raven said quickly after Apple finished. Tears rolled down Ravens face as Ashlynn gave Apple a mad glare. "Why would you DO THIS APPLE?" Ashlynn said quickly. Raven was crying and panicking while trying to think of what to say. Apple quickly replied as she cracked a smile "Oh Raven, so empathetic, funny really. If only you would give up this dream of yours and forfeit this happiness for better cause. A cause for a future queen like...me!" Apple smirked and examined her freshly painted royal red nails. "Apple, if people knew this..I think they might want a different queen. Come on Raven, lets get out of here." Ashlynn said as she left the room with Raven. The door slammed shut as Apples eyes glowed, "You don't know my power you little princesses."
