SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO POST, TO COMPENSATE I AM UPLOADING TWO CHAPTERS ;)

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

"Well then, let's get in character," Serena said and worked up a spell to change their clothes into Legacy Day outfits.

"We should split up and look for them," May said.

"But how would they know?" Odel asked.

"Well if they are just stuck in the past, they haven't lost their memories...I hope," Grace replied.

"So when we find them, we get back to our time and everything goes back to normal?" Aquamarine said.

"Probably, I have no idea, we just have to hope for the best really," Serena smiled to seem positive, but inside she didn't know for sure.

"What are we gonna do? Today is the last day, after today we lose all our memories. I am freaking out!" Kitty shrieked.

"Calm down Kitty we will find a way," Donnie said.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN! Noir can't help us now, she isn't powerful enough and Raven's mum is not gonna help until tomorrow when it is too late!" Kitty continued.

"Kitty, ENOUGH!" Lizzie shouted. "Get a grip, we need to think, I mean Noir and Evie are not the only spell casters in this school, we can get someone else."

"Yeah but who else will believe us?" Sam asked.

"No one, that's the answer, no one," Blondie exclaimed. "This is just not right, I mean I had my whole life ahead of me."

"I have an idea!" Cedar said.

"What?" everyone exclaimed.

"Why don't we tell Evie about Raven, I mean if she knew-"

"Bad idea Cedar we could change history, like big time," Vanilla said.

"But isn't that better, why can't we tell the Queen and make her good, she wouldn't be all take-over-the-world crazy and she wouldn't curse Wonderland, I mean if it changes history isn't that good?"

"Yeah I get what you mean Cedar but my mum essentially shaped some parts of Ever After, I have thought of telling her about me, but what if it affects everything we know in the present," Raven replied. "If we do change time, we could go back to some unknown."

"But is that not worth it? I mean this is your mum you know, wouldn't you want to make her good," Cedar said.

"I do, trust me, more than anything but my mum in the future told me that time has a way of catching up, if I do tell her and she doesn't go down the evil path now, she will later and I love her I really do but-"

"But you think telling her will make her evil, don't you?" Jackson asked.

"Exactly maybe me telling her is what drives her into it, after all we weren't sent to this time for no reason now were we?"

"They are gone! Darling, Grace, Serena, Daniel, all of them gone, I found a time travel spell!" Headmaster Grimm said. He was starting to get scared, first Apple and the rest now this, what if they couldn't come back?

Relax Grimm, if they don't come back, well time will erase them as well I mean it's not that hard, the shadow smiled.

"But I will know, I will know everything! I don't think I will be able to deal with it!"

Don't get your moustache in a twist Grimm, everything is going to be fine, my guess is that those stupid kids obviously have a spell back, they must have gone back to get the others.

"That means they remember?" Headmaster Grimm asked; shocked.

Well with enough memories of the ones that time has taken, one can remember, and if they see something of the person, memories flood in, that's why I told you to NOT keep the pictures!

The shadow gazed at the pictures of Donnie and her friends and they suddenly burst into flames.

Next time Grimm, listen to what I say, understood?

Headmaster Grimm nodded.

With no luck finding their friends outside, Serena and the rest decided that inside was the next big option.

"But we could search for hours, there are so many rooms at school," Aquamarine said.

"That's why I have a spell, anyone have a picture of any of them, I would whip up a spell that could send us straight to them," Serena said.

"Why didn't we do that before?" Odel asked.

"Because I thought we wouldn't need it, I thought we would find them at the Legacy Day Ceremony. Ok so does anyone have any pictures?" Serena asked.

"Well I have a picture of Dominic and I, and his mum is standing by him, would that do?" Daniel asked.

"Perfect!" Serena smiled and chanted.

Suddenly they were all engulfed in blue smoke and when it faded away, they were in the Lifairy, and in front of them were the people they had travelled back in time to see and save.

"I knew someone would come," Vanilla said.

"Serena, how did you guys know? And you have magic?" Willow asked.

"|Well that's a long story, tell you on the way back, and I used a very powerful spell to keep all our abilities intact, so we are all here, let me cast the spell-"

"Wait, Apple isn't here!" Briar said.

"Where is she?" May asked.

"My guess is that she is at the ceremony," Blondie replied.

"But we checked, we didn't see her, maybe we missed something," Aquamarine added.

"Yeah maybe, should I locate her, she wouldn't be far from the school, anyone with pictures?"

"Yeah loads on my phone," Briar said, she looked through and frowned. "There are no pictures here."

"That's because in this time you weren't born to take them," Donnie explained.

"Oh yeah, this time travel is so messed up."

"So no one has a picture? Then how did you guys manage to find us?" Donnie asked.

"We used a picture of you, Donnie, but not you like now, like old you," Grace replied.

"Old me?"

"We will explained later, is there a Raven Queen around," Darling asked.

"That's me, Darling, what's up."

Darling reached for her and hugged her, "Hello sister."

"SISTER!" everyone said.

"Wait, what's wrong?" Darling asked.

"Darling, you are a Charming, Daring and Dexter over there are your siblings, we aren't related," Raven explained.

"But in the present we are, see I am the daughter of King Charming and the Evil Queen."

"Oh my thorns, time really did change a lot of things; we have to get to our time now! But we need to find Apple first," Briar said, looking worried.

"Well we need to find her quickly, if we stay here too long, our memories will be wiped clean," Willow said

"Let's get started then," Grace replied.

Apple was late for the ceremony, she had asked Snowanna to save her a seat and now she was doing her best to run in heels. She didn't want anyone looking at her so she had asked Snowanna to sit at the end.

The minute she stepped outside and heard Headmaster Grimm talking, she knew she had not missed anything special, with enough stealth; she managed to bypass the tales walking towards the school building.

"But we could search for hours, there are so many rooms at school." She heard one of them say, why the hex were they not at the ceremony? Before Apple could drift into thought, the tales were covered in blue smoke and then they were gone!

"What the-"

"Now I present to you, the Storybook of Legends!" Headmaster Grimm beamed.

"Hex, I'm late!"

"So how are we gonna do it?" Grace asked.

"I don't think I have a spell," Serena began.

"But I do," Willow said. "It's called a Tracker-Jacker spell; my mum used it when she wanted to find people."

"Why didn't you say this before?" Daring asked.

"Well because I didn't know Apple would go crazy and ditch, and besides what magic do I have?" Willow asked.

"Sorry," was all Daring could mutter.

"Tracker-Jacker, I think my mum had the list of ingredients-" Serena started.

"We don't need ingredients, this is just a track one person spell, no need for anything really and the fact that the person is probably in this school it will take less time. Lemme just tell you the incantations and we are good to go," Willow smiled.

Once Willow showed Serena the words, she began casting and a ball of blue smoke appeared, at first it was cloudy then Apple's face appeared.

"Where is she?" Dexter asked.

"Zoom out," Serena said.

The image contracted and they could now see where Apple was, she was sitting by Snowanna, she was at the Legacy Day Ceremony.

"Is that her mum?" Serena asked.

"Yep," Donnie replied.

"They look so alike," Aquamarine said.

"Tell me about it, you should have seen Raven and hers, like looking into a mirror," Duchess said.

"So should we go talk to her?" Vanilla asked.

"No, there is no way she will listen," Lizzie replied.

Donnie got up," Lizzie is right, is there any spell that we could use to get her here?"

"Yeah, but we need to go to a different place to cast the spell," Serena said.

"Why?" Blondie asked.

"The spell requires a high place, have no idea why, spells are just that weird."

"Let's do this," Raven said.

"Good luck Snow," Apple said as Snowanna, Evie and the tales of Snow White got onto the stage, since they were the most important tales, they got to sign first.

Apple watched as her new friend got on stage and began to pledge, a feather appeared in front of her and the Storybook opened. Apple smiled, she was going to do that soon, but what was her story? Apple couldn't remember.

Snowanna was about to sign then she stopped mid-way, Apple wondered what was wrong, and that's when she realised that everyone was at the same position, for a very long time.

"What the-"

Blue smoke surrounded her and before she knew it she was on the balcony of the tallest tower, around her were the tales she had seen some minutes ago and some faces she didn't recognise.

"Who are you? Where the hex am I?"

The girl with purple, maroon and black hair stepped forward, "Apple, it's me your friend Raven, we-"

"Stay away from me you freak!" Apple exclaimed.

"Apple," Raven said, clearly hurt.

Donnie held Raven's hand, "I'll talk to her. Serena started casting the spell."

Serena began to cast the spell, blue dust circling her and drifting towards the sky.

"Apple I know the real you is in there," Donnie started.

"Who are you people? You are crazy, I need to go back to the ceremony."

Donnie grabbed Apple.

"Let me go!"

"Apple, this is about the well isn't it?" Donnie asked.

"What?"

"The well, when you were a child you fell into a well."

"No I never-"

"You got so scared about your destiny not being how it was suppose to be, I understand, because I felt that way when I fell in Oz."

"Why are you telling me this?" Apple asked calmly.

"Because we are not so different after all, we both faced traumatic experiences while we were kids that have shaped our viewpoints, both of us almost died but we survived, and you have to survive this Apple, if not for us your friends, for Ever After, you are the next Snow White."

"What? No I'm not, it's Snowanna-"

"She's your mother, you are the next Snow White in the future, remember Apple, remember!"

Apple's eyes widened and she screamed, all her memories, her experiences, her true emotions came rushing into her, and she fainted.

Everyone rushed to Apple. "Apple, are you alright?" Donnie asked, fear painted on her face.

"What did you do?" Cerise asked.

"I talked to her that's all."

Apple opened her eyes and looked around.

"Apple?" Donnie said.

"Donnie? What's going on?" Apple asked.

Everyone smiled.

"Apple's back!" Briar exclaimed.

"What? Where was I?"

"Long story, explain when we get back to our time," Raven replied.

At that moment, Serena finished the spell and a ball of blue light appeared, "Okay guys, get in."

"What about the frozen people?" Donnie asked.

"I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Donnie ran to the blue ball and entered, she opened her eyes and she was in the Mirror Lab along with the rest.

"We made it!"

"Yaassss!" Briar screamed. "Oh how much I missed school."

Raven looked at the blue ball as it vanished and she sighed.

"Is everything alright Raven?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, it's just that I just wonder how my mum became evil, I mean did you see her, she was just like me, even better, what if I end up evil too."

"Maybe your mum made some bad choices, but Raven, I know, we all know that you will not, we believe in you," Leo smiled.

"Thanks Leo, I think I just found myself a personal therapist," Raven joked.

"Maybe I need a business card."

Raven laughed, but deep inside she wondered if Leo was right or wrong.

It had been days since they had arrived back from the past, everyone was somehow back to normal, Darling was no longer Darling Queen just Charming, Wonderland had not vanished, the ageing spell of Neverland had not hit the East End of Charmville, everything was normal, everything except Headmaster Grimm, he was more agitated and more restless. He seemed disturbed and the staff of Ever After High could see it, something was wrong with Grimm.

Unknown to everyone including Grimm, the shadows' plan had succeeded, the minute Donnie and her friends came back, they knew and more importantly she knew, now was the time to change everything.

Everything is going according to plan, now to enter the final phase, the shadow smiled.

Soon Ever After and all the other realms would know their maker, their ruler, their queen, Destiny was back and this time she wasn't going to make the same mistakes.

NOW WE HAVE AN IDEA WHO THE SHADOW IS, NO WONDER SHE COULD HEAR THE NARRATORS, SHE'S DESTINY HERSELF! HOW ARE DONNIE AND THE REST GOING TO DEFEAT HER, ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN THE NEXT STORY. FYI THERE IS ANOTHER CHAPTER BEFORE THIS STORY ENDS CALLED A NEW EVIL IS BORN.
