Babygirl6610 Got us another chapter! Please enjoy :D like always we love reviews!
('It has been a week since Cupid returned to her old school. Her friends are concerned about where she has been. No one has been able to get ahold of her. Raven and Maddie are talking to Headmaster Grimm in his office trying hard to find out where she went.')
"Miss. Queen it is none of your business where Miss. Cupid is." Grimm said in a very stern tone with his arms crossed on his chest.
"But Headmaster Grimm we are concerned that something happened to her. Can you just tell us where she went?" Raven pleaded
"I'm sorry Miss. Queen I cannot share personal information of students. Now if you'll excuse me I have paper work to do." Grimm said leading them to the door and slamming it behind them.
"Is it just me or is he hiding something?" Raven said looking at Maddie.
"Yes." She answered as her pet door mouse popped out of her tea cup shaped hat. "OH IT'S TEA TIME!" Maddie yelled pull out a table and chairs from her hat. The table was set complete with tea cups a tea pot and little sandwiches. Taking a sit she poured tea for herself and her best friend. Raven sighed and smiled at her friend. She sat with Maddie.
"I wish we had a way to find out where she was." Raven said taking a sip of tea.
"Maybe I can ask the Narrator!" Maddie said bouncing up and down. "Hey narrator? Where is Cupid?"
('Maddie you know I can't tell you.')
"Please!"
('No Maddie!')
"PLEASE!"
("MADDILNE HATTER I CAN NOT TELL YOU THAT SHE IS AT HER OLD SCHOOL MONSTER HIIIIGGHH…. Dang it")
"What's Monster High?" Maddie said confused looking at her friend.
"What?" Raven said tilting her head to the side.
"That's where the Narrator said she is at."
('Maddie please! You're making it worse!')
"I've never heard of Monster High." Maddie said sitting back in her chair arms crossed. "I wonder where that is?"
"I don't know but maybe there's something about it in the library." Raven said standing up starting to walk down the hall toward the rest of the school. Maddie skipped behind her friend.
('Well thanks to my big mouth it looks like Raven and Maddie are going to do anything to find out where Cupid is. I need to learn to hide things better…')
('Raven and Maddie walked into the library of Ever After High, it was a ginormous library. It had many floors reaching deep beneath the school. It has books on anything and everything in the fairytale worlds and then some. Honestly I am not sure if there is anything on Monster High.')
Maddie stopped on the stairs and looked up. "Narrator?"
('Yes Maddie?')
"Why can't you just tell us about Monster High?"
('Because Maddie I'm the Narrator. I'm not supposed to be heard by the people that I narrate for. Seeing how I can be heard I have to be careful of I say. I'm already in trouble about telling you about Monster High. I can't say any more about it.')
"Oh okay." Maddie continued to walk down the stairs.
Reaching the "Maps and World" section of the library. Raven moved from bookshelf to bookshelf, up and down ladder after ladder, but she found nothing.
('Maddie was wondering around when she came a crossed some of her friends from wonderland Alistair Wonderland, the son of Alice Wonderland, and Bunny Blanc, daughter of the White Rabbit. They were sitting very close to each other and were whispering. She skipped over to them catching them off guard. Alistair and Bunny jumped away for each other both of their faces turning a bright red. Everyone at Ever After knew they had a thing for each other, but they didn't know that. Maddie please don't say anything.')
Maddie giggled. Alistair and Bunny looked at her confused and embarrassed.
"What are you giggling about?" Alistair said trying to break the awkwardness in the air.
"The Narrator." She replied covering her mouth. "So what are you guys doing down her alone?"
"Oh… nothing we're just looking at atlases and looking at maps." Bunny said look like she was going to pass out from embarrassment.
"Really Raven and I are looking for something from another world." Maddie said bouncing up and down.
"Maybe I can help?" Alistair said opening a book.
"There you are Maddie I've been looking everywhere for you. Hey Alistair, Bunny what are you guys doing here? Finding places to adventure?" Raven said walking up to her friends. Alistair just smiled.
"You know us so well Raven." Bunny giggled
"Well he is the son of Alice Wonderland." Maddie said giggled back.
"Okay girls what place are you looking for?" He said getting their attention.
"Well Maddie talked to the Narrator to see where Cupid was. She said she was at a place called Monster High." Raven said taking a seat at the table in the middle of the room. She was followed by her friends.
"Hmmm I think I've heard of Monster High." Alistair said flipping through the book.
"Yeah I remember reading something about it. It's a school for Monsters." Bunny said
Raven gulped "Monsters?!"
"Yeah, it's like Ever After High. Except monsters." Bunny said walking over to the bookshelf pulling a book out flipping through it. "Ah here it is." She said returning to the table placing the book down. Everyone gather around as she read.
"Monster High is a school for the children of monsters. It is a school for all monsters everyone is welcome, big some freaky flaws and all."
"That's not a lot of information." Maddie said in a huff.
"Yeah that doesn't tell us where it is." Raven said with a groan. Suddenly she shot up with excitement. "But I know who would!" she said smiling a wide grin. "Giles Grimm!"
They all jumped out of their seats into a full sprint down the stairs deeper into the library under ever after high.
The students were very tired when they reached the last floor of the library. Alistair, Bunny and Raven where hunched over with their hands on their knees out of breath. Maddie though was bouncing up and down giggling with excitement.
Finally catching their breath they entered into the room of Giles Grimm. The room was cluttered with books in scrolls. The giant mirror on the wall was black. And underneath it was a deck cluttered with scrolls and books once again. In the wooden chair was Giles Grimm. He hadn't noticed their presence yet.
"Mr. Grimm?" Raven said making him jump at the sudden voice in the silent room. He spun around in fear. His fear turned to happiness when he saw who was there. He smiled at the children and held out his arms.
"AH. Raven it's so nice of you to visit and I see you brought some friends with you. To what do I owe this lovely visit?" Giles said.
('Giles is the younger brother of Headmaster Milton Grimm. He looked a lot like is brother except he was skinny and had long two toned grey crazy hair that stood up everywhere and a long beard of the same color. He wore a formal red jacket that was unbuttoned to show his red curly-Q vest and white shirt. His beige skinny jeans came to the top of his teal high top sneakers.)
"Well you see our friend Cupid disappeared about a week ago and we didn't know where she went." Raven said in a sad tone.
"Until I asked the narrator. Thanks again." Maddie said waving to the ceiling.
('Pay attention Maddie')
"Oh right, Well the narrator said she's in a place called Monster High, But we don't know where it is… Or isn't." Maddie continued pulling a table and chairs out of her hat again and poured herself a cup of tea. Alistair and Bunny sat with her.
Raven rolled her eyes at her friends. "We were wondering if you knew anything about it.'
"Yeah all we could find was that it was a school for monsters." Bunny said with a mouth full of biscuit.
"Is it in another world?" Alistair said after taking a sip of tea.
Giles motioned for Raven to sit at the table with her friends. "Well you see Monster High isn't another world. It's another dimension."
The students stared at him in shock.
"Another dimension?!" Alistair said intrigued being and adventurer he loved learning about new places and worlds.
"Yes, and Monster High is kind of like Ever After High. Many students who go there are sons and daughters of famous horror stories." Giles said taking a bite of a cookie.
"Wait so the son or daughter of Dracula goes to this school?" Raven said slightly amused.
"Yes" Giles answered
"Frankenstein?" Bunny asked
"Yes."
"Werewolf's?" Alistair followed
"Yes"
"Jekyll and Hyde?" Maddie asked
"Who's that?" asked Raven
"He is a man who has two people in the same body." answered Maddie as she took a sip of tea.
"Ah the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Not really I horror book but still scary. I wouldn't conceder them a monster. Mr. Hyde was the alter ego of Dr. Jekyll and he did indeed look like a monster. He was big, green and mean." Giles said leaning back into his seat.
"Hahaha that rhymed!" Maddie squealed clapping. Raven rolled her eyes again.
"Yeah but back to Monster High. You said it was like Ever After High. Do they have to follow in their parents footsteps and follow their stories?" Raven asked
"Well no, Monster High is just a high school." Giles said
"So why would Cupid have to go there? She's not a monster she's a Goddess." Alistair asked placing his cup down as the teapot stared to float and poured him more tea.
"Correction she is a Demi-God." Giles answered holding a finger up
"Demi- God?" Bunny said leaning on the table.
"Yes, she is the adopted daughter of Eros. The Greek God of Love. She is Roman, making her a Demi-God." Giles informed them
"Okay that still doesn't mean she has to go to a school for monsters." Raven huffed crossing her arms.
"She is a Bone Elemental." Giles said earning shocked and confused looks from the others.
"Bone Elemental?" Maddie said
"Yes, you see there are many types of elementals in the Monster world. Fire, Ice, Earth, Water, and even Bone. Each type has their own special abilities." Giles said
"Oh… Giles?" Raven asked
"Yes?"
"Do you know how to get to the Monster world?"
"Well" Giles said getting up from the table and walked to a stack of books in the corner of the room. Pulling out a piece of paper and brought it back to the table placing in front of them. "This is a map of the enchanted forest by the school. It has been said a portal to the Monster World is in this area. It only opens on a full moon." He pointed to the map.
"Thank you Giles," Raven said hugging him and grabbing the piece of paper. She ran from the room followed by her friends.
"You're welcome?" He said waving
Back on the surface.
Alistair and Bunny wished Raven and Maddie luck as they said their goodbyes.
"So what do we do now?" Maddie asked
"We need to go find Dexter and Apple. They have been worried about Cupid we should tell them what we found out." Raven said heading for Apple's locker.
"Okay." Maddie skipped behind her friend.
('It didn't surprise Raven that Apple was at her locker staring at a mirror in it. Apple was checking her bright red lipstick making sure it was perfect against her naturally pale skin. Her long blonde curls fell just below her shoulders. She may be the daughter of Snow White but she inherited her father blonde hair.')
"Hey Apple." Raven said walking up behind her
"Hi Raven, does my hair look okay today? I feel…" Apple started to ask when Raven cut her off
"Never mind that Apple we know where Cupid went."
"WHAT!?" Apple spun on her heel as her white, red and gold dress twirled.
"We can't talk about it here. Where's Dexter?"
"He's probably in the tech center." Apple said
"Let's go." Raven grabbed her hand pulling her up the stairs to the tech room in one of the towers of Ever After High as Maddie ran after them.
Reaching the tech center Raven opened the door push Maddie and Apple in. Closing the door behind them. Looking around she saw Dexter sitting at one of the mirror computers with headphones in playing a game. Walking over she pulled them out of his ears making him turn in anger.
"HEY I WAS PALYING A GAME!" seeing it was Raven he blushed. "Oh s-sorry R-Raven."
"It's okay Dexter we need to talk to you."
Looking around he realized that Apple and Maddie were in the room. He stood up readjusting his black rim glasses and his crown. "What's going on?"
"Raven and Maddie know where Cupid is." Apple said in a cheerful tone as she walked over to them followed by Maddie.
"WHAT?! HOW?!" Dexter said with excitement
"The Narrator told me." Maddie said smiling a big grin.
"Really? So where is she?" Dexter asked looking at Raven.
"She is in another dimension that has monsters. She's going to a school there called Monster High. We also found out not only is she a Demi-God she is a bone elemental. That makes her a monster." Raven said earning a confused look from Apple and a shocked look from Dexter. "Giles Grimm gave us this map to the enchanted forest, he said there may be a portal to the Monster world here." She pointed to the map "But it can't be opened unless it's a full moon."
Dexter studied the map trying to take in the information he was just given. He looked up at Apple who had a confused look on her face. "Apple?"
"Yes Dexter?" She answered.
"Can you go get Daring? Or at least text him? When we go to this Monster High we are going to need someone else to help protect you all. Tonight is the full moon we leave when the moon is at its peak." He said standing up straight crossing his arms.
('Apple's eyes lit up at the mention of her prince. He was the older brother of Dexter by only nine months. Her and Daring were the power couple of Ever After High. Beloved by all. Daring was the star play of the bookball team, the most handsome guy in school, and the next Prince Charming in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.')
Apple did as she was told and pulled out her mirror phone and got to texting.
"Dexter I've never seen you like this. Why are you so worked up?" Raven asked placing a hand on his. Dexter looked at Raven with a slight smile.
"She tried to tell me something the day she left but… she said didn't have the chance to tell me. I want to know what it was."
"Okay and guys we need to keep this between us. We don't know what it's like in the Monster world. We need to be careful." Raven said
"We need to do a little more research before we go." Dexter said moving to the main computer in the room. It was attached to the giant mirror screen. He made a few swift hits on the key board as the Mirror pulled up the main frame of the mirror network. They all walked over to him staring in amazement at his hands jetting a crossed the key board.
"What are you doing?" Maddie asked peaking over his shoulder.
"I'm trying to hack the Mirror Network to search for things on Monster High." He replied not looking up from the key board. Suddenly the mirror screen turned red flashing a skull and cross-bones and made a warning sound. He slammed his hands down on the table. "DANG IT!"
"What happened?" Apple said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I can't get through the Fairy wall system."
"Do we know who can?" Raven asked.
They all stood in silence for a moment till they all looked at each other. "Humphy Dumpty." They all said together in agreement.
"Apple tell Daring to bring him." Raven said Apple nodded and got to texting.
"While we're waiting lets have some tea." Maddie cheered pulling the tables and chairs back out of her hat. Raven and Apple laughed as they looked at their friend.
"You and your tea Maddie." Raven said taking a seat.
Several moments had passed when the door opened reveling Daring and Humphy.
('Humphy was the son of Humpty Dumpty, he was rather skinny and wore a white shirt, red spenders, and tan shorts. His small crown sat crooked on the top of his head. Like his father he was very clumsy. He tripped over almost everything, even thin air.)
Humphy walked over to Dexter. They said a few thing then Humphy took over the computer. Apple ran to Daring embracing him a hug.
"Hello Lady's, to what do I owe this invite?" He said bowing to the girls.
"Well we can't talk about it till Humphy leaves." Raven said pointing to him
Suddenly they heard Dexter cheer and thank Humphy. Turning they saw the mirror screen was green with a large smiley face. Dexter thanked him as Humphy left the room.
"He got it?" Maddie said bouncing over to Dexter.
"Yeah, now to look for Monster High." He said typing on the key board again.
"Monster High?" Daring asked very confused.
"That's where Cupid is. We are going there tonight and we need you to come for more protection." Apple said
"I will go anywhere you are Apple." He said smiling at her.
Dexter made a few more types on the key board when a purple web page appeared. They all gathered around staring at what was in front of them. The Monster High Crest was in the middle of the screen. Dexter looked around the page coming to a stop on a link for a radio station.
"What's 'The Love Line'?" Maddie asked
"I'm not sure." Raven said "Click on it Dexter."
He clicked on the link. When it loaded they heard Cupid's voice come through the speakers. They all gasped.
"It's Cupid!" Apple said
"SHH! Raven said getting her to quiet down so they could listen.
"Welcome back listener, that was Catty Nore and D.J. Holt Hyde with our Monster High Fight Song. You on the air with C.A. Cupid on The Love Line. Where I take calls from you when you're in need of some love advice. It's time for our next caller, Go ahead caller what love advice are you in need of today?"
"Well you see my ghoulfriend says I'm never there for her that I'm invisible."
"Caller are you really invisible?"
"Well yeah, but I can't help it I fade in and out."
"Maybe you should try to stay visible around her more. I'm sure she would love to really SEE you sometimes."
"I guess you're right. Thanks Cupid."
"You're Welcome caller. Looks like that's all the time we have for today. I hope I have helped you all with your love problems. Up next we have Casta Fierce and the Spells with The Witching Hour. This is C.A. Cupid telling you all to stay lovely."
Cupids voice disappeared as the song came on. They all stood in silence for what seemed to be forever. They couldn't believe that they just heard their friend that was taken from them sounding so happy.
"Well now we know that she is really there we should start getting ready for tonight." Raven said snapping everyone out of their shock.
"What should we pack? How long do we have? I need to make sure I have all my outfit, shoes, make up do you think I need my…" Apple started to panic when Raven cut her off.
"Apple pack light you don't need to bring everything you own. Just an outfit or two and a sleeping bag."
"Can I bring tea?" Maddie asked
"Maddie you always bring tea so yes."
"Okay let's meet at the enchanted forest when everyone has gone to bed. Its 6:00pm now so that gives us four to five hours to get ready and meet there." Raven said looking at her mirror phone.
They all left the tech room and went their separate ways. To get ready for the night.
Later that Night
('We join Raven, Maddie and Dexter at the enchanted forest. It's 10:00pm and everyone in the land of Ever After are sleep. It's is the perfect time to search for the portal to the Monster World.)
"Where are they at? We only have two hours to find the portal?" Raven said sitting her stuff down on the ground.
"Who wants tea?" Maddie asked
"Not now Maddie."
"Sorry."
Several minutes had pasted when they heard footsteps approaching. In the light of the moon they saw Daring and Apple carrying at least 10 bags.
"Apple I said pack light." Raven said
"This is light."
"Never mind that we need to get going." Dexter said.
They gathered all their stuff and headed into the forest. The walk to the area in the forest was long. They crossed swaps and old wooden bridges. Finally they came to a clearing with hundreds of dead trees and weeping willows as the moon was at its highest point.
"Okay so we just wait?" Apple asked out of breath.
Suddenly a flash of light lit up the wooded area. Once it cleared a large dark wooden door appeared. Raven walked up to it placing a hand on the brass knocker.
"This is it." She said with a slight smile.
Out of nowhere a loud voice boomed. They all jumped back and stared at the door. A white figured appeared in front of the door. And spoke in a load ghostly voice.
"You seek passage into the land of monsters? You must answer this riddle."
"OH! I love Riddles." Maddie said jumping up and down clapping.
"Why is the raven like a writing desk?"
Maddie stopped clapping and jumping. She stared at the ghost.
"Maddie do you know the answer?" Raven asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
Maddie started to tear up. "No, I don't know, this is the riddle that has haunted my dad since I can remember. He doesn't know the answer and neither do I."
They all stared at Maddie. Apple stepped forward toward the ghost with her normal princess confidence.
"I think I know the answer." She said making her friends turn to her in shock. The ghost nodded at her. "You may answer."
"The answer is…"
