The next day, Apple, Raven, and Ricinus were talking by the fountain outside the front of the school.
"Just how many people are going to be pulled into this game?!" asked Ricinus. Her voice was more angered than it was loud, but it still caused the other two to look around with worried expressions.
"Take it easy, we don't want anyone hearing," said Raven who was relieved that no one had heard her.
"Maybe we should have talked in our room then, because talking about this out here is kind of a bad idea," said Apple while looking at Raven. However, her eyes were soon drawn by the limbo that was pulling up which belonged to her mother.
"Mother, you did not say you were dropping by," said Apple as Queen Snow White got out of the limbo which had stopped before them.
"I have seen the story on Miss. Lock's Mirror page about you and a few others having fallen under some curses, so I came to see what is going on," said Queen Snow White who was not happy to see her daughter's face without makeup.
"We're trying to figure out the cause and how to break them as well, Queen Snow White," said Raven.
"Oh, I think I'm looking at the cause of all of this trouble right now," said Queen Snow White while staring at the young witch.
"Mother, Raven did not do this," said Apple, who was angered by what her mother was insinuating.
"And that's your problem, Apple, you're too trusting," said Queen Snow White.
"No member of the Queen Family can ever be good, they're always plotting something," she said while glaring at Raven. Everyone within ear shot was now watching with shocked expressions that for some Rebels and even the Royals turned to expressions of anger at what she had just said.
"I know Raven better than you, mother, and she would never hurt anyone on purpose!" said Apple as her anger grew even more.
"You insolent little!" said Queen Snow White as she pulled her hand back to slap her. However, Raven caught her by the wrist to stop her.
"I don't care who you are, no one hit's her," said Raven as her eyes burnt with rage and her magic.
