AN: Thank you to Sky and Guest who praised my story in the reviews. I am very happy to have fans like you :)
***Also check out the new story cover. I drew it myself instead of editing pictures of the characters. Hope it paints a better picture of what Donna, Matt, and Ally look like.
Matt's eyes widened as he continued to study the figure. He never thought he would see her in the flesh. She was paler than Donna, but the eyes were the same. Her dark lips were curled into a malicious smile. Her white teeth had a glare even in the faintest of light. The screens glowed of a dark purple. Matt was never so scared in his life. He forgot to breathe for a moment, but then gasped for air. He continued to breathe heavily as the Evil Queen laughed again. The laugh had echoed in his mind before, but hearing it in real life made his brain hurt. His eyes traveled to her wrist to see the red and blue beads of Ally's bracelet.
"You look just like your mother," the Evil Queen's eyes looked beyond him. "Scared and weak." He looked to see Ally looking fearful behind her blue framed glasses. The lenses reflected the Queen's figure. Her skin was now faded like Apple's. Donna still laid unconscious. She was getting paler every moment. Matt recalled to all the memories Ally had seen of the mirror room. It was where her own mother was seduced into evil. He looked back at the Evil Queen. she didn't want to attack. Not yet. "At least your mother fought back."
"Don't count on it," Ally suddenly said. Matt was about to speak, but kept his mouth shut. Ally rose to her feet. She stepped over Donna's body. Matt looked up to see her expression had now become serious.
He looked back at Donna. Matt tried to find a pulse in her arm, but there was no beat. He placed his ear up to her chest to heard the faintest beat. A wave of worry flowed over him. Matt cupped Donna's face with his hands. "You can't leave me." He whispered. Donna's eye lids fluttered, but remained shut. They had to act quick. He had to help Ally. He turned his head back to Ally.
She stood there, looking at the Evil Queen. "My dear, don't kid yourself." The Evil Queen shook her head."You are no match for me."
"I'll take my chances," Ally said in a low voice before launching at the woman. Matt was impressed with the surprise attack. Ally hit the Queen and they both fell to the ground. Matt only got up to his feet before Ally was thrown off her. Matt leaped into action. He picked Ally up as they both charged at the Evil Queen. Their target was the bracelet. That's the only way they'll get to defeat her.
They all struggled for a while. Matt had his hands on the bracelet, when he was thrown off of her. Matt got onto his knees before watching Ally run towards the Evil Queen. She didn't seemed phased by the attack by throwing out a single arm. A ball of magic hit Ally and threw her back beyond Donna. "Ally!"Matt looked to see the blonde girl not getting up. It was all up to him now. He was the only one left.
Matt got off his knees and onto his feet once again. He had to think of something. There was no way he could compete with magic. "Tell my husband good reddens for me." The Evil Queen threw her hands back. She was going to kill him. There was no escape. He looked back at Donna one last time. As the ball of magic came closer to him, he put his hands out in font of him and he closed his eyes.
A wave of pressure went over him. Matt opened his blue eyes to see the ball of purple flames stopping in mid air. He looked to see the bracelet still clamped on his wrist. It gave him the magic Donna had somehow. It was how he could see memories. It now affected magic. The Evil Queen looked confused for a moment, then furrowed her brow. Matt threw the ball of fire back at the Evil Queen, which she deflected easily.
She threw another one at him, ad he caught it. This time, Matt ran before throwing it. After her deflect, Matt threw himself onto her. The Evil Queen struggled under his weight. He knew she would try any magic, this battle was about strength now. The Evil Queen was beneath him for a moment. Matt reached for the bracelet, then his vision flashed.
He opened his eyes suddenly. He was scared to see what the Evil Queen was going to show him. Matt was now in a stone building. He believed it was a castle. When he saw the heart patterns lining the walls, he knew. He was in the Queen of Heart's castle. They were in Wonderland.
He was placed into an empty hall. Two guards were lined at the start. It had two big wooden doors that were closed. Matt could only fear for what would happen in a few moments. A scream echoed from behind the door. Suddenly, guards rushed from behind Matt. He looked to see all of the red armored men running towards the big doors. They carried a long wooden board.
One of them began to shout commands. The men put the board into the door handles. They were trying to block the doors. They all took out their swords and aimed them out, ready to attack at any moment. There was dead silence. They were just waiting. Then, the doors burst open with purple flames licking their frames. The soldiers gasp and get into fighting position.
The smoke clears for Matt to see a younger Evil Queen. For a moment, Matt thought it was Donna, but the dark hair swept up gave it away. She simply waved her hands over the guards and they all were lifted off the ground. With a stomp of the young Queen's foot, they all plunged to the ground. She continued to walk past Matt. Before he followed her, he looked to see not one soldier moving. Not even an inch.
He followed the Evil Queen up into a tower. The boy tried to keep close. What was the importance of this? He knew that she put a curse of Wonderland, but that ended a long time ago. Why was it important now?
Matt was let up to the top of the tower. He looked over the edge to see they were very high up. He looked back at the Evil Queen. Her violet eyes were pinpointed on the sky. She raised her hands and began to speak a spell. The sky then turned green and began to cover the entire land. Matt could see people coming out of their homes. He heard a few faint screams.
"Get her!" a voice called. Matt looked back to see Snow White. She was with many guards. They rushed towards her, but an invisible force held them back.
The Evil Queen did not stop speaking, she continued her spell. Her eyes now glowing purple. "The Legacy is broken, but I will rise again to reclaim it. Here my spell will stay, until the legacy is repaired!" In an instant, her body vanished. Snow White was shown with a mirror in her hands. She had been taken into mirror prison. At her feet, a small Raven skull lay.
Flash. Matt was back in action. The Evil Queen quickly flipped Matt over. He was so weak, he couldn't fight her anymore. His vision focused on her vicious violet eyes. She pinned down his arms with her knees as she clipped off Donna's bracelet. And threw it to the ground beside him. He tried to reach for it, but she magically cuffed his hands to the ground.
Matt breathed heavily as the pressure began to build on his rib cage. She would suffocate him before she could kill him. She raised her hand, and a knife formed in her hand. "I didn't want to have to do this," she rose the knife. "But duty calls." Matt recalled the memory that Raven had shown him earlier that day. He looked to see the bracelet dangling in front of his face. He might be able to get it.
"Aye lady!" Ally's voice called. Matt looked over to see Ally over Donna. She had Donna's bracelet on the unconscious girl's arm. It was a distraction. Matt got all the power that was left in him and reached up with his neck. He snagged the bracelet with his teeth and ripped it off of her arm. There was a gasp as the Evil Queen looked down to see Matt having it in his mouth.
With his last bit of strength. He whipped his head and the bracelet flew to land between them and Ally. The blonde girl down for the bracelet, the Evil Queen was much faster. She was about to grab the bracelet when it was covered in purple flames. It floated up into the air and onto Ally's wrist. Everyone looked up to see Donna floating up from where she laid, her eyes glowing violet. Donna then landed on the ground as the Evil Queen scrambled to her feet. Donna's regular eyes appeared after the glow faded. They were determined. Ally had scrambled from the floor over to Matt. She tried getting the cuffs off of him, but it was no use. All they could do was watch.
"You're through messing with my friends," Donna said in a steady voice,"You're through messing with me." The Evil Queen waited a moment before grinning maliciously.
"That's what you think," She suddenly through magic at Donna. Matt gasped before Donna threw out her own hands. The purple streams of flames hit one another. They both pushed against the other, struggling. Donna was starting to fall behind a little. "You'll be nothing without me," the Evil Queen said as she pushed harder against her granddaughter. "I can show you what you're missing."
"NO!" Donna yelled, fighting back. Her grandmother now tried to push even harder.
"You'll never be who you want! Its your destiny to be EVIL!" The flames were getting close to Donna. There was no way Donna was going to win. How could they help?
"Ally," Matt said to the watching girl,"You have to put your bracelet on Donna." Ally looked down at her wrist, then at Matt. She nodded before getting up to her feet. She ran to Donna and clasped the red and blue beaded bracelet on her wrist.
"Get out of my best friend!" Ally yelled before a an invisible force knocked her away. Donna's eyes looked from Ally, to Matt. They focused on him. She looked worried, but Matt nodded, she then turned her head back towards the pushing fiery forces. She then closed her eyes. For a moment, Matt felt like time had stopped. A chill ran up his spine. His ears went deaf for a moment before the scream.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" There was a huge explosion of light before Matt couldn't see anything at all.
Matt's eyes fluttered open. He still felt pinned to the floor. His head pounded with his heart beat. His vision focused. He was staring into a light of a lamp. It was when he thought about Donna did he regain his muscle. He shot up and looked around. Ally was laying on the floor beside him. Her blonde hair covering her face, but he could see a slight stir. Derek was holding Lily as she sobbed into his shoulder. They weren't looking at Ally, but beyond her. There was something wrong. His eyes peered to see they were still a top the bookshelf.
The walls of fire had come down, and at Matt's feet, sat Raven and Ryder. He looked to see legs poking out in his view. He quickly rushed over to her. Raven's face was filled with tear. Ryder was leaning his head on Raven's shoulder. He didn't understand. What was wrong? Donna had won.
Matt looked down at the girl laying in her mother's lap. Her hair was still black with purple tips, her eyes lined with makeup. "Donna," Matt shook her a little. There was no color left in her. He put a hand on her forehead. Cold. Worry began to wash over him. He pressed his ear against her chest. There was no sound. The boy looked up into Raven's stiff eyes. She met his then looked down and let a tear fall. Pain and shock suddenly stabbed him. Donna was dead.
