Happy Halloween everyone! Just want to give a warning it gets a little dark later in the chapter so you've been warned.


Fear

Raven slammed the doors, marched to her seat, and sat down ready for music class to begin. This caught everyone's attention, but they chose to be silent (an excellent choice by the way).

As the class went on Raven's nerves started to drift away as the sounds of pianos, guitars, and horns played throughout the classroom. Music really does soothe the savage beast, despite a few missed notes, students playing too fast or slow, even Kitty's antics didn't bother Raven. In fact, Raven actually forgot what she was even upset about. Then the door creaked open.

"Sparrow Hood you are late!" Prof. Pied Piper shouted.

Speak of the devil.

Everyone turned to see the infamous loudmouth only to see a red rooster wearing a green vest and a green hat with a red feather in it.

"It's not my fault, Raven turned everyone into chickens." Sparrow pointed at Raven with his feather.

Now the attention was on Raven. Whispers were already being heard through the classroom as Raven's hands balled into tight fist.

"Really?" Kitty perked up at the mention of chaos.

"Or maybe, because you started something." Melody spoke up.

"Melody, you're not really backing Raven up are you?" Sparrow questioned.

"Sparrow, you're always getting on someone's nerves, it's about time someone shut your beak up." Melody said with a grin.

"OHH!" The who classroom ohhed.

"Enough!" Prof. Pied Piper shouted. "Everyone to your seats so we may finish this class!"

"Thanks, Melody." Raven whispered.

"No probs." Melody winked.

"Raven Queen, to the Headmaster's office." A voice on the intercom said.

Raven collected her bookbag and headed out the door as the class continued as did the stares and whispers.

The hallways were empty just as Raven liked them; wanting to avoid her classmates. Raven started her walk to the headmaster's office three staircases up from music class. Due to how big the school was, and how far the classes were, students got used to it the first year of school (or had no choice to). As Raven took her first steps the memory of Legacy Day played in her head.

Her fellow students were dressed in their heirloom outfits passed down from their parents. Each outfit no matter the destiny looked regal, formal, and legendary. If Raven choose to wear her mother's special-occasion dress she'd look like an actual evil queen. The dress was black but reflected silver and purple tones when moving, daggers jutted from the sleeves at the elbows with spikes on the shoulders. The bodice was built like armor and the skirts were wide and fearless with dark opera gloves and a high collar cape. Instead Raven choose the outfit she was wearing that day the only heirloom items she wore were the cape, the gloves, and the silver circlet that resembled a raven's skull with purple gems in the eye sockets (I know it was that dome crown, but the darn thing looked like a spaghetti strainer flipped over).

As Raven walked down the hall the students and teachers cowered in fear of her even Duchess and Faybelle. Dark thought filled her head about harming her fellow student body mainly Faybelle, Duchess, Sparrow, and Grimm. The trolls, goblins, and ghouls carried her high in the air as they walked passed the others who stared. Raven felt powerful, unbeatable, wicked!

It was intoxicating the fear, the power, the evil. The thought of being the next evil queen wasn't bad at all. People would respect her, people wouldn't harm her, people would fear her!

"No!"

Raven shook her head; why did the thought even crossed her mind?

Without even knowing it Raven was outside the Headmaster's office, Raven knocked on the door and enter the room.

"Ms. Queen, I'm aware that you turned most of your fellow students into chickens." Headmaster Grimm began. "Care to explain."

"It was Faybelle!" Raven spatted out. "She started it, she called me a chicken and everyone laughed at me!"

"I see." Headmaster Grimm said. "Despite that, you did harm others with your actions, Raven, wait outside so I can give you a proper punishment."

Raven glared at the man, but did as she was told.

'It's not fair.' Raven thought as fell to her knees.

As she waited for Headmaster Grimm Raven started on her homework, she was halfway done with her kingdom mis-management assisment until-

"What are you doing here?"

Raven turned to see Faybelle no longer a chicken, but a very angry fairy holding a caramel frappe.

Raven shoved her homework in her bag, not answering the question.

"Are you deaf, Queen?" Faybelle yelled. "I'm talking to you!"

"How dare this insect talk to you in such a manner." The mysterious voice spoke again. "Teach her a lesson."

Raven rose up from her eat, fist balled, eyes glaring at the talking insect, and ready to do her worse.

" , you are late!" Headmaster Grimm appeared.

"Sorry, didn't want to be here." Faybelle said as she finished the rest of her caramel frappe.

"Anyway, I decide instead of detention you two will be cataloging the boxes of our special ingredients to the magical storage room."

"What?!" Both girls shouted.


Magical Storage Room

The magical storage room was filed with magical items such as: wands, cauldrons, empty potion bottles, and more all stored in this huge room.

"I want you both to count each bottle and make sure everything in accounted for and stored properly." Headmaster Grimm said handing the girls clipboards and pens. "And one more thing: magic will not be used."

"What!" Faybelle shouted as her icy blue magic engulfed items and lifted them from the floor.

"What did I just say?" Headmaster Grimm questioned.

Faybelle released the items.

"I'll be back in an hour." Was all Headmaster Grimm said as he left the room.

Raven looked at the clipboard that read:

93 bottles of apples of Discord

97 bottles of Essence of gluttony

95 bottles of tentacles of Cthulhu

3 bottles of blood of a Jabberwock

Raven opened the empty boxes then she would place the items inside. As Raven grabbed the tape to secure the bottom and edges, until she heard Faybelle's annoying voice.

"No I can't come, Grimm, gave me detention again!" Faybelle moaned into her mirrorphone.

Raven ignored her and went back to what she was doing. All the boxes were all set up and Raven was counting number 38 of apples of Discord.

"And then I told him ' I don't date pixies!', serious dating just cramps my style." Faybelle spoke into her mirrorphone.

Raven glared at Faybelle, but went back to work; she still had a long way to go.

"Done with essence of gluttony, now onto tentacles of Chtulhu." Raven said to herself.

"Yeah, now I'm stuck here with Raven Mean!" Faybelle said into her mirrorphone.

Raven turned to glare at Faybelle to see that not only was Faybelle on her phone, she was sitting on a lawn chair painting her nails while using her magic.

"You've been using magic this whole time?!" Raven shouted.

"No duh!" Faybelle answered. "If you were smart you'd do the same."

"We're not suppose to be using any magic." Raven gritted her teeth.

Faybelle noticed how this was pushing Raven's buttons and wanted to push them farther.

" Should've know you'd go all goody-two-shoes and follow the rules." Faybelle started. "If you were a true villain you'd take the easy way out, but no!"

Faybelle got up from her seat and approached Raven.

"You went and ruined thousands of years of tradition just because you could. You have one of the evilest od destinies, but you want to turn it away because you 'don't want to be evil' and 'I want to write my own destiny' ha!" Faybelle mocked. " You're not evil, you're ungrateful, you're a brat, and more importantly you're selfish!"

Raven's fist balled up with purple aura around them, her face scrunched up, and her eyes were glowing full of hate. Faybelle accomplished her mission; she turned around to continue her conversation on the phone as she sat down.

"Why are you letting the insect get away with this?" The mysterious voice angerly questioned. "You are a queen, show your authority!"

"So where was I?" Faybelle questioned.

Before Faybelle got her answer something grabbed her by her collar and lifted her from her seat.

*SMACK*

Faybelle was now on the floor with her eye black, cheek red and swollen, and lip busted.

"AHH!" Faybelle let out a cry of pain.

When she looked up she saw Raven fist covered in blood and eyes full of hate!

"What the hell did you -" Before Faybelle could finish Raven pounced on her.

"AAHHH!" Faybelle let out another cry as Raven punched, slapped, and clawed her.

Raven just kept attacking without a moments rest, she wanted Faybelle to feel pain, misery, and hurt. A sinister smile crept on her face as she was doing it the only bad thing about this was Faybelle's screaming. Raven then covered the girl's mouth and nose preventing her from breathing.

Faybelle cried out from the pain of her attack and lack of air.

"Sleep, sleep, it's time to rest." raven began to sing. " Poisoned apples, hundred year curses, the sweet release of death."

Faybelle cried even harder, she tried to use her magic to escape, but Raven seemed to block the spells with her own magic.

"Take a bit, prick your finger, and bow down to your queen." Raven sang.

Faybelle vision was soon going black, but not until she saw Raven's eyes glow and became wilder, her hair grew longer, and behind her a figure appeared wearing a crown.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Faybelle, Faybelle, wake up it's just a bad dream!" A voice shaking her said.

Faybelle gasped as she jumped out of her seat to came face-to-face with Raven.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Faybelle let out another scream.

"What's going on in here?" Headmaster Grimm slammed the door opened.

"It's Raven, she's trying to kill me!" Faybelle pointed at Raven.

"What?" Raven shouted.

"She punched, scratched, slapped, and tried to kill me, just look at me!" Faybelle shrieked.

" , I will not have you talk false accusations of another student." Headmaster Grimm barked.

"False acc- just look at my face it's all-*GASP*!"

Faybelle pulled out her pocket mirror to see her face was fine no scratches, bruises, or black eyes, just a clear face.

"B-but!" Was all Faybelle could say.

"I think you had too many fairyberry sodas and beanstalk chips." raven said holding a empty can and bag among others on the floor.

"Well at least I finished my work." Faybelle retorted.

"No you didn't you used magic." Headmaster Grimm retorted.

"Did you squeal on me, Queen?" Faybelle pointed at Raven.

"Didn't have to." Raven said pointing at the boxes that were covered in Faybelle's magic lifted off the ground.

"Ms. Queen, you are dismissed." Headmaster Grimm said after reading her clipboard. "And you finish the rest of this no magic and your detention has doubled. No buts."

Faybelle was left flabbergasted.


Later

Faybelle closed the last box and slumped to the floor.

"Finally, done." Faybelle gasped.

Faybelle turned her weary head to see a couple of bottles not package, but Faybelle checked her list and made sure everything was accounted for. But, nobody would miss a few missing ingredients. As Faybelle reached down to grab one of the bottles- snatch!

"Hey!" Faybelle exclaimed.

"Hey!" The bottle snatcher was Sparrow. "What are you doing here?"

"Detention. And yourself?" Faybelle questioned with her hands on her hips.

"Stealing, plus I can make a fortune selling this stuff online." Sparrow answered.

"No it belongs to me to do great evil deeds with, not for you to sell online so some d.i. can use to make homemade slime, facials, and pasta." Faybelle said as she grabbed the end of the bottle.

"I need the money for a new guitar, hat, and women shoes!" Sparrow shouted grabbing the other end.

"I'm ignoring that last part!" Faybelle shouted grabbing harder.

"Enough!" Headmaster Grimm grabbed the bottle in question. "Both of you out and detention!"

As soon as the two troublemakers left the room, Grimm left and went into his office.

"You were right Faybelle would play her part." Grimm told the Evil Queen.

"Of course, but Raven deserves more credit." the Evil Queen said.

"What did Raven have to do with this?" Grimm questioned.

The Evil Queen just smiled not revealing her secret and Grimm left it at that.


Raven and Apple's room

Raven didn't mean for it to go too far, but it happened. Raven casted a nightmare spell that her mother taught her when she was six. She didn't think it would be too bad as dying, but more like teeth falling out, being attacked by clowns, or being naked in public. Despite not meaning to, deep down Raven didn't care.

A smile crept on Raven's face as she continued her homework as her eyes began to glow.


So what did you think? Please leave a comment and ell me what you think happens next.

Also, this has nothing to do with the story early this month on Oct 12 the Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans collapsed killing and trapping many inside. One of my co-workers daughter worked there. Luckily she wasn't there at the time of the collapse and I'm thankful for that since see lost her brother a couple of months before. I send my prays to the family and friends of the victims. I also pray that y'all have a safe and fun Halloween night tonight. Thank you!
