"Raven I..." Briar said behind the daughter of the Evil Queen,"I'm sorry." It was these words that pulled Raven's violet eyes off her dead mother. She looked at the scratched up Briar. A sad look was painted on her face. Raven manged to give a small smirk.

"Its okay," Raven managed to speak. "It was her fault, not yours." Briar grinned in a sad way as she walked or to Raven. She wrapped her arms around the purple haired sorceress. Raven froze for a moment, but then hugged back. Raven let a few tears fall as she hugged her friend.

Without notice from the girls. The walls of the box began to melt around them. It was when Apple called Raven's name did the two break apart. They were still in the black boxed room. Through teary eyes, Raven looked to see Apple, Hopper, Daring, Maddie, Cerise, Lizzie, Humphrey, and..Dexter. Raven gasped with a smile as she made eye contact with the second Charming son.

"Hopper!" Briar exclaimed. Her own gasp escaped her lips as she ran forward. Everyone watched Hopper held his arms open as she jumped in them. He lifted her and twirled her around in during their embrace. When she was place back on the ground, she hugged the son of the frog prince even tighter.

Raven looked back to Dexter as he broke from the group. They both strode forward at a slow speed until they were only a foot apart. "Hey stranger," Dexter said simply. Raven smiled brightly and laughed a little as more tears spilled from her eyes. These ween't tears of sadness, but joy. Dexter suddenly moved closer to Raven and wrapped his arms around her.

Raven returned the embrace quickly. She felt so at peace wrapped in Dexter's arms. It was a place she never wanted to leave. Even though she didn't want to, Raven leaned back to see Dexter's scratched up face. Another tear fell down her cheek. "What's wrong?" Dexter asked.

"I thought she would have killed you," Raven said with a teary grin. She was so worried about him. Her mother was truly wicked, and could've done anything to him, to her Raven.

"Me too," Dexter admitted,"But its all over now. We're safe." Dexter wiped a tear off Raven's cheek. Raven responded by wrapped him into another embrace. He held her tightly and whispered "You're safe."

"Mom!" Briar called from behind the couple. Raven looked back to see the Briar was running to her waking mom.

"Briar!" Sleeping Beauty called to her daughter,"Thank goodness you're alright!" Briar help Beauty up to her feet. "She may still have control over me!" Sleeping Beauty freaked and back away from her daughter.

"She's dead," Raven called. It pained the daughter of the Evil Queen to admit it to herself. It was hard to believe it. With all the hard work and war, it was all finally over.

"What?" Snow White said from the floor. She was sitting there with hands behind her back. Raven raised her eyebrows to see the usually innocent queen with such a dark expression on her face.

"She stabbed herself when Briar fell on her," Raven recalled to only minutes ago,"It was supposed to be me." Raven looked down with a sense of shock. She felt Dexter's arm still wrapped around her shoulder, and felt comforted. Raven looked up to see the black room around them beginning to melt. The ground shook a little as the school was untwisting from it maze form. "Where's Grimm?" Raven looked around, but didn't see him.

"He...," Apple stepped away for Raven to see,"He died." Raven looked at the real Grimm laying dead on the floor. "The dragon was going to attack me, but Grimm pushed me out of the way." Raven looked back to see a tear run down Apple's pale face. The daughter of the Evil Queen walked away from Dexter's hold and came face to face with Apple.

Raven gave a small smile to the blonde princess as their eyes connected. "It's over Apple," Raven nodded,"We did it, and it wasn't in our destiny." The frown on Apple's face melted away as a grin curved on her red lips. The two embraced with half crying laughs. They had been through so much together. It was a much needed hug. When they separated the sun was beginning to set on the day.

"What do we do now?" Maddie asked and shrugged. Raven didn't truly know what to do. She had never defeated he mother like this.

"We can try to finish this part of our story," Raven didn't know what else to say. They were free to write their own story now. It was truly up to the teens. Everyone seemed to nod their head in agreement.

After Ever After officials were called, they came in only a short time. During that time, Raven decided that she would wake the students tomorrow in the morning, and explain it all then. Apple had to get stitching in a few places, but other wise everyone's cuts weren't major. A nurse was tapping up a wound on Raven's arm as she looked up. By a different ambulance, Raven saw her dead mother's face. She looked calm with her closed eyes. Even though Raven was happy it was over, she still felt pain for her mother.

She stared at her mother's corpse until a blanket was thrown over her face. Raven's gaze snapped out as the Evil Queen was lifted into the ambulance. She was followed by another stretcher, which Raven assumed it was Grimm. A limp, very burnt hand was dangling down from the covering cloth. It was a shame, the way he went, for the second time. Apple was more emotional then anyone, but Raven didn't blame her. After all, Apple spent some time with Grimm, being student president. Raven only saw him when she was sent there for not following rules.

Raven looked over to where Apple was getting stitched. She didn't seem to feel any pain at all, well, physically. Her blue eyes connected with Raven's. The purple haired sorceress slightly smiled. Apple gave a small grin before she looked back down at the nurse. Snow had been sent away into mirror prison for the next decade. Apple had handled it very well. This surprised Raven, but maybe Apple was feeling worse inside.

She refocused her vision on Apple. The blonde princess was now talking to Humphrey with a big smile on her face. Raven was glad Apple found the someone she was talking about. This made her think of the other couples in their group. Would all of them make it to happily ever after? Raven looked around at all them until she met Dexter's blue eyes. She looked at him and grinned. At least she knew they would have a happy ending.
