Raven ran towards the exit of Ever After High, Ravens heels clicked against the stone halls as she pushed the door open with the side of her body. she clutched her cellphone as she turned to the side of the building. She she sprinted to the corner of the castle where Briars window would be. "I guess it's worth a shot..." She muttered to herself as she looked behind some bushes. Raven looked around but couldn't find anything, or anyone.

"Nothing..." She said, defeated. She stood there for a moment until she heard something behind her.

"Wh- who's there?" Raven stuttered as she turned around to only see a broken twig on the ground. Suddenly, She felt something touch her shoulder as she froze.

"Hey." The voice said as Raven gulped audibly. Raven turned around to see a girl with long brown hair under a cloak. She had tan skin and a wilted pink rose in her hair.

"B-briar?" Raven spit out as she gasped under her breath. Raven took a step back slowly and put her hand to the stone wall.

"Briar..why are you here?" She questioned. Briar stood there void of any emotion, and said something in a slow sinister voice.

"I am not Briar." She said. "Don't you recognize me? You'd have to." Imposter-Briar questioned while frowning "Why don't you?"

"Who are you t-then? Raven said slowly in a quiet voice, only replying to one sentence. Raven looked at Imposter-Briars ragged thorn tights and torn pink skirt.

"If you don't recognize this voice you must be skipping out on some...visits?" The Brair imposter questioned, and sneaked closer to Raven.

"Mom?!" Raven shouted as she stepped back, "Why the he-hex are you here? And what do you want?!" Raven was shaken up by the supposed "death" of Maddie, and the last thing she needed was a surprise visit from her mom of all people.

The Evil Queen creeped closer to Raven, "Doesn't it make you mad?" she said as she shed her costume and revealed herself.

"I won't say this again...why are you here?" Raven ignored her mom to say.

"Poor Maddie is gone, your "Bestie" is gone, at the hands of your storybook rival,as well." She whispered to Raven. "Doesn't that make you feel something bad,Raven? It has to...You are my daughter after all." The Evil Queen had her ways with scaring Raven, but she knew at this point that Raven was very strong willed. Raven decided not to reply, and ran towards the dorms of Ever After High. The Evil Queen didn't stop her, and smirked softly as her iris's glowed a lavender tint.

XOXOXO Time skip! OXOXOX

XOXOXO Half an hour later... XOXOXO

Raven flopped on her bed and slammed her picture of Apple and herself against the wall, breaking the glass. She got under her thick blankets, and cried. As soon as Raven seemed to get over herself, she heard a knock at the door.

"Go away." Raven said from under the blankets. The knock was heard again, and Raven was met with a reply.

"It's me, Ashlynn." Ashlynn said from behind the door, "I think I can help you"

Raven got up and opened the door, Ashlynn walked inside to see the broken pictures on the ground, small shards of glass had attached to the floor, making it a obstacle course to walk through. Ashlynn stared blankly at the images of Apple White, her one of her now ex-best friends. She put her golden clocktower purse down on the floor and opened it, pulling out a pink folder labeled "RW proof".

"This is some information on Apple Whites past I have gathered..." Ashlynn said slowly, "It also focuses on your past, Raven, for some reasons I will explain soon." Ashlynn set the folder down on Ravens purple blankets and opened it, pulling out some old photos she has printed out. Raven sat on her bed with Ashlynn, looking at the photos.

"What..even are these?" Raven asked, looking at an image of Apple white as a baby, with dark ebony hair.

"These are images from the underground of the library, in the section about fairytale generations. I found all of them in shreds, I had to put them back together with tape and glue." Ashlynn explained, "I think they have a deeper meaning when put in a linear timeline.." Ashlynn continued while putting some of the images in a specific order.

"Hm.. a picture of Apple being a spoiled brat.. nothing out of the ordinary there." Raven joked under her breath. Ashlynn pulled several photos of Raven without her purple streaks as a baby, with Apple.

"Raven, do you see this?" Ashlynn said excitedly, showing her the pictures in order.

"See..what? The pictures? Yeah..." Raven started to say before being cut off by Ashlynn,

"This is THE biggest conspiracy in all of Ever After, Raven!" Ashlynn exclaimed, "Look at yourself, it's obvious!"

Raven looked in the mirror and saw someone else, Raven White.
