Andrea Pov

When my father informed me that a respond letter had arrived so soon after he had sent it out I was at first very worried, assuming that the response arriving so quickly meant that the Headmaster had rejected the very idea of my presence being in the school. But the joy I felt when the letter was just the opposite was unimaginable. Not only did the school trust me enough to act as a counselor to the students but they didn't hesitate to allow me full control of the situation at hand. Let me tell you that hardly ever happens to children of Hades, usually we have to prove to people that we mean them no harm. It must be because of C.A. she must have put in a good word for me after all this school couldn't possibly have a Headmaster that wouldn't have read the letter fully.

I was in my room working on a spell so that my mirror portal could be used to send me to and from the Ever After realm. Unlike C.A. I will not be temporary moving into the school. I want to be able to keep all the files that I am going to make on these students safely in my private room. I just don't trust that someone will not try to one day use what I will learn against the students, after all what is said in the office will stay in that office unless they themselves choose to share it with other people. So lost between my thoughts and preparing my mirror portal that I didn't notice my brother enter the room until he spoke up.

"I know you like to have complete focus when you practice your sorcery Andrea, but I would like to think that your senses would be sharp enough to know when someone has entered the room!"

"Hello Matthew, I see that you've once again entered my room without knocking or asking for permission to enter." I just say with mocked angry.

"Because you always ask for permission right? Father is always complaining because you're just always being super considerate!" Matthew teases back, of course he would bring that up right now.

Confuse right now, are you asking yourself who the hell is Matthew? Well you shouldn't be because if you read the first chapter then you should remember when I said I only had two alive brothers. Well Matthew is one of the many other brothers I have only with the added fun of not being alive. Hades has always given his children alive or dead access to his palace, and seeing as how I'm his only daughter a lot of my brothers who are dead come to see me.

"What brings you here from Heaven, Matthew? Come to visit father?" I asked Matthew tends to visit a lot which is fine by me. Since as long as I could remember Matthew has been around telling me stories about air bending, I loved those stories so much and it really came in handy when I finally did begin my own training.

"I already visited him, Andrea and he told me that you wish to go to the fairy tale realm! I plea with you little sister don't go to that messed up realm it's not safe!" Matthew says all playfulness from before gone.

"Matthew please, what danger could possibly befall me in a world full of fairy tales!" I say with a laugh "Besides the letter has already been sent, I can't back down from this now."

"Oh my dear little sister, I know how much you hate going back on your word but this should be taken very seriously!" Matthew says clearly upset that I was just brushing his warning off.

"Why?! Matthew why should this be taken more seriously, you know better than to think I would just simply follow orders without question." I exclaimed now annoyed with my brother.

"It happened about fifty years ago when I was still alive. Well one day I got a message from Hermes explaining that he had gotten word that elemental benders had shown up in the Ever After realm." Matthew began to explain.

"I didn't know that realm even had benders!" I said in shock because from the research I have done there was nothing that said anything about the people having benders.

"Neither did anyone else, in fact my friend Aang was most excited because he was hoping to be able to get the chance to teach air bending to new people. But by the time we got enough teachers willing to come with us we'd gotten word that the benders were gone." Matthew finished explaining.

"WHAT? Matthew that can't be possible benders don't just disappear?" Andrea says in dismay.

"No but they can be hidden, it was always my belief that because the fairy tale realm wholeheartedly believes in following their story to the very last detail, it is very likely that they either pretended like they never had benders or perhaps a spell may have been casted on the people. But I could never find any proof." Matthew finished explaining.

"Hmm…this is a lot to take in, I don't believe that the people are pretending not to be benders though. It would be impossible to be able to get every single person into an agreement to purposely deny something that would make them more powerful. Especially a world that has villains and heroes and encourages them to behave in such a manner; no, no denying the use of an element would be foolish in every way." I said pondering my brother's words.

"Then the only thing left to conclude is that a spell had been casted and with it the use of bending and perhaps even the memory of it." Matthew proclaimed it did make the most sense.

"But a spell no matter how powerful it may be would not be able to be kept hidden for too long especially now with a new generation of children; image that power could be lying dormant within these kids just waiting to come out but not knowing how to!" I said now standing up and pacing back and forth.

"You could always give them the test Andrea!" Matthew suggested.

"But the test is only for demi-gods and goddesses it would never work on them it would be too powerful for mere mortals to handle." I warned.

"Then modify it, you're a powerful sorceress Andrea surely you could find a way to make a test that will not cause harm to them!" Matthew says confidently.

"I suppose I could try but it will take some time to accomplish and we don't even know for sure if that realm could really have benders, what if we're wrong?" I questioned while looking towards my brother.

"There is no harm in trying after all if we're right then we would have discovered another realm with benders and if we are wrong then all it does is leaves things the way they are." Matthew concluded.

"I suppose you make a good point Matthew, if the students at Ever After really do have untapped bending abilities then in some way they should be drawn to that element themselves." Andrea pondered out loud.

The next day had finally arrived and I was ready, I decided to wear a nice red blouse topped with an aqua jacket, black jean pants and gold colored sandals. In my opinion I thought the outfit suited me perfectly, serious enough to work in but causal enough to be comfortable in. I was just about ready to make my leave when my father knocked on my door.

"You can come in father." I said and so my father stepped inside the room.

"You see that Andrea, see how I knocked and then waited for your answer before I made my way inside your room! Does that give you any ideas at all?" He said sarcastically already knowing the answer.

"No not that I can think of at the moment why?" I answered back in mocked confusion.

"Sure you don't, any way I decided to see you off before you went through the mirror portal." My father stated.

"Why? It's not like I'm really moving in there I'm going to be back by the end of the day." I said shaking my head in amusement.

"If you would recall I always see you and your brothers off when you're entering new realms that you haven't been to yet." He responds back at me, in other words I'm here to make sure you can get yourself there safely.

"Right of course how could I have forgotten that fact." I said trying not to roll my eyes.

"Also I thought to inform you that Headmaster Grimm just sent a letter stating that he neglected to properly read the request letter that I made and would very much prefer you not to come to Ever After High." Hades explained.

"What?! But how could he have been foolish enough not read it properly I mean what if the letter had stated that he was going to be selling his soul." I said amused but at the same time very upset all that planning was now down the drain.

"Which was why I sent a response letter back stating that it would be best that you went to the school in order to do the job that he promised you could do or else I could come down to the school to do some...collecting." My father states jokingly but I could definitely read between the lines in that statement.

"Wait are you saying that you threaten to-" But my father interrupted me before I could finish asking.

"Now, now no need to worry about the details just know that you'll still be going down there as per his agreement. Just use plenty of caution there is no telling what the Headmaster will do now in order to get you to leave." Father said all joking pushed aside.

"Right of course, well like I stated before I'm sure I can handle things there." Andrea says happily.

Normal Pov

Headmaster Milton Grimm was completely beside himself; when the letter had first arrive he thought it was a miracle. But now after over hearing some of his student wondering why he would allow the daughter of the Lord of the Underworld into their school and even allow her full control? Let's just say he soon received many angry phone calls from concerned parents to which he had yet to fully calm down. He had hoped to get out of the deal this morning when he sent another letter only for it to state in not so many words that if Andrea wasn't coming to Ever After then Hades would come to...he didn't even want to think about it at the moment. He still couldn't understand how his brother Giles could be so calm about the matter either.

The rest of the students were either in their classrooms or in the common room talking about the coming arrival. Apple White of course sat confidently in her seat already so sure that she would be able to get Andrea to leave and never return. Cupid of course sat in the back of the common room sulking in anger at the nerve of some of the students for making accusations without even knowing anything about her family. Raven didn't know what to think normally she herself would never jump to conclusions about someone but the way the Headmaster had spoken of the demi-goddess made her wary. Rotbart as was in his nature stayed in the shadows he wouldn't have been there at all but he could tell that his sister was worried and he wanted to be there for her even while keeping his distance. Plus he couldn't help but find it amusing that Apple truly believe she could go toe to toe with a demi-goddess; if anything this event would hopefully lead to him gaining more ammunition in order to further torment Apple. Which he really needed since he had made that promise not to poison Apple until she found another prince he didn't want to become too soft on her after all.

Soon the time came and Andrea had just walked through the portal and was making her way into the school. But since she had no idea where this Headmaster was she decided to look for someone whom might be able to point her in the right direction. Luckily she heard some students talking and decided to head for that direction.

"Excuse me? Hi can anyone here tell me which way the Headmaster's office is?" Andrea says while looking around the room, but then she spotted her cousin. "C.A.?!"

"Andrea! You're finally here." Cupid yells out excitedly as she runs up from the back of the room and tackles her cousin into a hug.

"It's so good to see you C.A. I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time." Andrea says as she hugs her cousin back.

"I know right! Come on I'll show you where the Headmaster's office is." Cupid says as she drags Andrea out of the room chatting away about all the things that has happen since they last saw each other.

So caught up in seeing each other again the two cousins didn't pay attention to the other students who had been watching their exchange the entire time.

"That's Andrea? I can't believe it she doesn't look anything like what I would think a daughter of Hades would look like!" Blondie says the first one snapping out of the silence. And of course the students would be confused Andrea was a stunning girl with beautiful brown eyes, medium length brownish red hair, a nice even brown skin tone and curvy body not some horrible looking monster they thought they would see.

"Well how would we even know what to expect after all we only just saw her for the first time. And we had nothing to go off of besides what Cupid told us before." Cerise in a rare act decided to speak up.

While the students were chatting away about Andrea, Apple decided that now was the best time to follow after Cupid and Andrea since she was so sure that her supporters would never let her face Andrea alone. She knew they meant well but in order for her to appear strong before the demi-goddess she had to do this on her own. So while no one was looking she snuck out of the common room no one noticing her but one other person.

Apple had been sneaking her way to the Headmaster's office at least what she considered sneaking anyways. Of course this wouldn't be something that she would be good at after all she didn't even realize a villain had been stalking her until he decided to tap her shoulder causing her to jump up in surprise.

"Aah, Rotbart what are you doing here? Have you been following me this whole time?" Apple asked as her heart raced at top speed.

"Of course, I wouldn't dare miss out on the chance to watch you make a complete fool of yourself. This day should be as good as the time you were turned into a swan." Rotbart said chuckling darkly.

"I am not going to make a fool of myself and we agreed to never talk about that again! Besides as future queen I have to be ready to defend all my subjects, even the ones that don't want to follow their stories." Apple says confidently.

"And you really believe that you of all people can scare away someone who is literally a child of Death; hmm I suppose if you open your mouth and sing that will probably do the trick, there can't possibly be anything worse that Andrea has been through." Rotbart replies mockingly.

"I was not going to try to scare her away I was just going to inform her that she wasn't welcome here if she is just going to go around tormenting my fellow students." Apple stated forcefully.

"Right, because you did such a good job getting me to stop tormenting you shows that you out of all the other students in this school would be perfect for getting rid of a demi-goddess." Rotbart says sarcastically. "Look clearly from what we saw in the common room she probably is harmless, so there is no reason to continue on with this."

"Just because she looks harmless doesn't mean she is! After all some of the most attractive people I know are also the most mean and evil." Apple counters back.

"Really now, and who is the most attractive evil person you know Apple White?" Rotbart asked teasingly as he watched a blush begin to spread across her face.

The two had spent so much time going back and forth that they didn't notice that Cupid and Andrea had already left the Headmaster's office and were heading towards Andrea's new office. Which ironically meant they had to walk around Apple and Rotbart whom were too busy arguing to notice them. Soon though Apple had enough of the argument and decided to continue on towards the Headmaster's office only to find out that Andrea had already left the office and was heading towards her new one. After finding out the location Apple continued onward with her journey.

Cupid had just left Andrea to settle in since she needed to get back to class and Andrea needed to fix up her office. Andrea had just put up a silence spell around the room when Apple decided to barge into the office without knocking, a confident determined look on her face.

"Hi, can I help you?" Andrea asked with a confused look on her face as she stared at Apple.

"Yes, you can help me by leaving this school right now!" Apple orders.

"Excuse me, who are you and why do you want me to leave you know nothing about me." Andrea responded back calmly.

"I am Apple White daughter of Snow White, and I know that you're the daughter of Hades which means you're evil!" Apple yells back.

"Look just because I'm the daughter of Hades doesn't mean I'm evil! And neither is my father for that matter." Andrea is still calm after all she'd been going through people thinking this very thing her whole life.

"Please, everyone knows that Hades deals with the dead, he torments and tortures poor souls and anyone who does that has to be evil. And I'm not going let you come to this school to do the same thing to my fellow students." Apple says forcefully.

"Ok, first of all my father only torments the souls that did evil things when they were alive or when someone does something really bad! Secondly I didn't come here to torment the students I came here to help you guys." Andrea explained trying to stay calm but Apple was really starting to annoy her.

"We don't need your kind of help, one day everyone will realize that they need to follow their pre-written destinies and everything will turn out just fine and no one's stories will disappear so we don't need your help." Apple believing that she won the argument she begins to head out the door.

"Before you leave Apple can you answer me this question? Why would it matter if some people disappear if their so called 'destiny' says they have to die?" Andrea asked causing Apple to stop in her tracks.

"What?" Apple asked confused completely thrown off by the question.

"You came in here and start talking about how evil I am and about how everyone needs to follow their destiny in order to not disappear, but what's the point if their destiny is to die at the end of their story? Don't you think that making people die for the sake of keeping the story going is wrong?" Andrea asked while waiting for an answer.

Apple now becomes quiet as she was not prepared for those kinds of questions. In fact she never even thought about them. What kind of future queen was she if she never even thought about the poor people who would have to die?

"Apple? You still there can you hear me?" Andrea was now concerned maybe she shouldn't have asked Apple these hard questions at this time. "Hello Apple, Apple White!" Andrea had move to touch Apple's shoulder when she finally snapped out of it. "You ok there little fruit?"

"No! I'm not ok because you're... MEAN!" Apple cries out as she runs out the room in tears.

Rotbart didn't know what would happen when he watched Apple barge into the demi-goddess's office from the shadows of the hallways. He expect to see her come out angry or embarrassed or even a bit sad. So when he watched Apple not ten minutes later running away from the office in tears, he became interested in finding out the reason for Apple's tears.

Andrea had decided to get back to working on her office, whatever was happening with Apple could wait until she was properly settled in. She couldn't help but wonder though if someone else was going to stop by to defend Apple. After all she is a princess so she must have a prince or hero who would be coming to her rescue sooner or later. Just as she finished that thought Rotbart barged into the room not to long after Apple.

"Let me guess, you're Apple White's prince coming to defend her after she ran out of here in tears." Andrea proclaimed while rolling her eyes.

"Excuse me?" Rotbart says with a horrified look on his face, completely taken back.

"You are-" Andrea begins while pointing at him. "Apple White's prince coming to defend her right? I saw you two flirting in the hallway earlier so I'm guessing that's why you're here now."

"I am in no way shape or form a prince let alone Apple White's prince!" Rotbart spats in disgust. The very idea of being a...prince to that annoying little...

"Hero then! Whatever same difference it doesn't matter what you call yourself the point is you're here for the same reason." Andrea says interrupting his train of thought.

"Listen here my name is Rotbart and I am the villain of her story, and it would be wise for you to come to grips with that piece of information." At this point he was very angry it was bad enough that he sometimes ends up doing noble things he didn't want people thinking he was just like those goody two-shoes heroes and princes he loath so much.

"You are her villain?" Andrea questions him in disbelief with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes! I am her villain not some savior or whatever god awful person you believe I am. I don't even understand how you would jump to that conclusion in the first place!" Rotbart continues to spat angrily at her.

"Well let's see, Apple runs out of here in tears, you out of all the other possible heroes or princes are the first one to barge in here soon after so it's a pretty logical conclusion that you would be her prince. Something that I find fascinating right now is that you're claiming to only be her villain and yet no one else is barging into this room right now." Andrea says with a smirk on her face.

"How is any of this fascinating to you? So what if no one else has come barging in that is only because the prince that was originally in her story has left her." Rotbart explains darkly.

"Really now, and there are no other suitors willing and ready to take his place?" Andrea questions still with that smirk on her face clearly amused.

"Well of course there are others, Apple has a lot of admirers willing to be here prince." Rotbart proclaimed now wondering where she was going with her line of thinking.

"And these 'admirers' what is the likely hood that they wouldn't have been able to hear Apple's loud cries of anguish as she runs down the hall towards the direction of a busy common room if my memory recalls?" Andrea ponders with an eyebrow still up and a smirk.

Lucky for Rotbart had always been able to mask his real thoughts or else his eyes would be wide open in disbelief, he couldn't help but begrudgingly see Andrea's point. There were plenty of princes at the school who claimed to be ready and willing to be the prince that Apple needs since Daring had left. But none of them were here it's been a good ten minutes since Apple ran away and surely by now there should be hundreds of heroes or princes trying to tear down the door; it's not like the she was running into the woods again. Of course just because he could understand Andrea's point didn't mean he would accept it. He was here to get information so he could torment Apple with it later and he would make sure to make that very clear.

"Listen... Andrea was it? I can't speak for why those...'heroes' aren't here, but I can tell you that the reason I CAME HERE was because I wanted to find out what you said to Apple to cause her to cry." Rotbart explained coolly hoping to finally get an answer so he may leave.

"And why should I give you that information Rotbart? After all you did say that you were not Apple's prince but her villain instead, which is to bad really if you were her prince then I might tell you so that you could comfort your princess but you're not so I guess I can't?" Andrea says while turning away from him.

"But, you're the daughter of Hades surely you understand the need to torment souls; and I need that information in order to torment Apple!" Rotbart tries to reason.

"I'm sure you're more than capable of tormenting Apple White on your own Rotbart. Unless of course you're getting soft? You're not getting soft on her are you if so then maybe I'll tell you." Andrea choose to ignore the comment about her father. In time Rotbart will learn better then to assume such things.

"I am not getting soft! And you know what you make a valued point I can go about tormenting Apple on my own!" Rotbart sneers at her darkly and moves to leave the room.

"Have a nice day Rotbart, I look forward to seeing you again at your first counseling session." Andrea calls after him as she watches him leave.

This statement of course causes Rotbart to stop half way at the door to turn to look at Andrea once more. "And what makes you think I would return just to speak to you!" Rotbart says in disbelief the nerve of this girl to think he would return.

Andrea walks towards him and begins to speak. "Oh you'll come back Rotbart, I know because no matter how well you think your hiding it; it kills you that you don't know what I said to Apple to cause her to cry." She continues while circling around him watching him back away from her. "You'll also come back because even though we both know I just pissed you off; this was still probably the most interesting conversation you've had in a long time." She continues to circle him and without him realizing it he's out of the room. "But most of all Rotbart you will return because you'll have the need to prove to me that you really are a villain, plus when I shut this door in your face you'll be wondering how I got you out the door in the first place." And with that Andrea shuts the door leaving Rotbart confused and wondering…

"WHAT JUST HAPPEN TO ME?!" Rotbart asked out loud when he realized he was outside.

From inside the office Andrea lets out a laugh at his sentence. "Oh Rotbart a prince by any other name is still a prince." She laughed while walking away from the door. "Even when he believes he is a villain." And with that Andrea gets back to work on her office.

A/N Alright guys long chapter I know but there was stuff I wanted to say here. Anyway please read and review see ya!
