Cupid suddenly whined in pain. "Ugh! What's happening?!"
"Well well well. You have failed for me, Cupid," her dark side said, hurting Cupid inside her head.
Cupid didn't actually mean to steal Dexter from Raven. Her dark side obeyed her what she wanted. Her dark side wanted her to get Dexter just like Cupid stole him from Raven by kissing him passionately and giving him the love potion days ago, even though Cupid didn't want to ruin Dexter and Raven's relationship.
"What?!" she said loudly. "I don't want to hurt them. I don't want to ruin their relationship."
"Ha! Really?" her dark side said. "You want Dexter with all your heart ever since when you first saw him. If you're still want him, then go ahead... and I won't hurt you!"
"I... um... I-I-I..." Cupid stuttered. "N-No, I can't..."
"You can't?!" her dark side spat, unleashing her power to hurt Cupid.
"Aaahhhh!" she screamed in pain. "Stop it! It hurts!"
Her dark side kept hurting her. Then, she controlled her when her pain was gone and Cupid's eyes color turned from pink to dark pink, but she looked like an evil demigoddess.
"So Cupid," her dark side began to talk. "Will you get your crush to be your boyfriend for me?"
"Yes," Cupid said quietly.
"Good," her dark side said happily.
"But what do you want me to do?" she asked.
"You must be like The Evil Queen, Raven's mother," her dark side said.
"You mean, poison his girlfriend with poison apple?" she said. "But I think it isn't enough. He'll get her back by kissing her, don't you think?"
"Yes, I know, Cupid," her dark side said. "But you have to find the stronger poison that Raven will never wake no matter Dexter will try to kiss her many times. So... will you obey me?"
"Yes, I will," Cupid said.
"Hexcellent!" her dark side said eagerly.
Then her eyes turned back to normal color.
Next day during lunch, Dexter saw his girlfriend in the hallway.
"Hi, Raven," he called her.
"Hey, Dex. What's up?" she said.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Oh yes! I forgot for our lunch date," she said.
"Right! So let's go," he said happily.
As they about to leave in the hallway, they saw Cupid with smile. But they just glared at her and continued walking to the castleteria.
"Guys, wait up!" Cupid yelled at them.
They turned around and faced her. "What?!" he exclaimed.
"I just want to say sorry," she said.
"Sorry?!" Dexter spat at Cupid. "Then why did you steal me from my girlfriend?! Why did you lie to me about drink that 'pink' liquid you gave me days ago?! Please don't tell me you have crush on me, Cupid!"
Cupid gasped as she heard what Dexter said about 'crush'. "What are you talking about?!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, please!" Dexter scoffed. "Daring told me that you like me, then Raven did the same thing in a fairy long time. Don't tell me you never told me your feelings because you were afraid to confess right in front of me. I can't be like you back, I mean, you were my friend. But now, you're no longer our friend because of you ruined my relationship with Raven. I liked Raven in a fairy fairy long time ago before you were here. Then I love her, not you, Cupid."
Cupid and Raven just kept quiet.
"You like me so much, maybe I don't like you back, because you were my friend, Cupid. So what?! Don't friends always like each other?!" he spat again.
"Come on, Raven," he said to his girlfriend. "Let's go!"
Before they left her, Dexter said once more as he turned around to face Cupid, "And by the way, sorry for hurting you, but don't sorry at us, Cupid."
As they walked to the castleteria, Raven said, "That was wicked, Dex!"
"No, not really, Raven. But thanks," he said seriously. "I love you!"
"I love you too!" she said, then kissing his lips.
Suddenly, Cupid's eyes turned to color dark pink.
"What are you waiting for? Do it!" her dark side said.
Later, Cupid borrowed the 'poison book' from the library, bought red apple from the castleteria and went to the secret room underneath the school. She put some ingredients in the cauldron to make a 'strongest poison' after she read the book again. Then she tied the apple with long thread and dipped in the poison fluid within a minute. As she pull the thread with apple up, there was a dark skull in the surface of the apple just like The Evil Queen did before. When the skull on the apple surface disappeared, the apple was now poisoned.
"Well done, Cupid," her dark side said. "You'll give it to Raven tomorrow."
Next day, Cupid was about to knock on the door of Raven and Apple's dorm, she overheard Apple and Raven's conversation, they were talking anything including relationship status of Raven and Dexter. An hour ago after school, Cupid already put the poisoned apple on gift box.
Later, Cupid heard the noise from the doorknob, then she ran away but not far from Apple and Raven's dorm. As the door opened, Apple got out from the dorm and walked away but Cupid saw her in short distance.
About three minutes later, Cupid walked to the door of the dorm, then she put the gift on the floor and knocked on the door little loudly so Raven will hear the knock from the dorm. Cupid ran away and hid the corner in distance and the color of her eyes were back to pink.
Raven opened the door and saw nothing. As she was about to close the door, she saw small pink gift box on the floor. She grabbed it, closed the door and opened the gift box.
"Huh? An apple?!" she said to herself as she grabbed the red apple. "This apple must be for Apple."
As she was about to put the apple on the Apple's table, she saw the letter inside the gift box. She grabbed it and started reading.
Dear Raven,
I'm fairy fairy sorry for ruining your relationship with Dexter. I just don't know... I mean, I'm just kinda crazy demigoddess. I promise I'll not do it again.
Your rebel friend,
C.A. Cupid
PS: This apple is for you not for your roommate as a gift. This is NOT poison, by the way.
Raven put the letter on her security-lock drawer. Then she grabbed the apple and felt her stomach growling.
"Ah! Oh well. I'm hungry," she said to herself, looking at the apple. "I accept this gift, so I forgive you, Cupid."
Then she opened her mouth and started chewing the apple.
Meanwhile, Apple entered Hocus Latte and ordered two lattes: apple cinnamon hocus latte for Apple and salt caramel hocus latte for Raven.
While she was waiting for the lattes, she sat down and looked around. She saw the group of students having conversation. Then she saw a couple having date.
"Huuhhh... they're so romantic," Apple thought as she sighed happily.
Later, she paid for her and Raven's hocus latte and left the shop. She walked back to Ever After High to give the hocus latte to her roommate.
As Apple entered her and Raven's dorm, she said, "Hey, Raven. Here's your—"
Suddenly, Apple froze, shocked and dropped the hocus lattes and they spilled over the floor as what she saw on Raven's room: Raven was laying on the floor while holding the poisoned apple. THE END... IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
