Revised 6/27/20
Normal pov
Things were not looking good for the students still stuck at Ever After. The Evil Queen had taken over the school and now the students were stuck in the sky. Not to mention that Apple White had unknowingly bit into a poisoned apple and would now be asleep for who knows how long. At least Daring was now out of the mirror prison and would hopefully at least try to wake Apple.
"Now please, please I understand it's been quite some time since you've seen this face, and you must be going through withdrawal but take caution!" Daring informs the group happy to have been able to fix himself up again. "Too much handsome at once can be a shock to the system. Sips not gulps, people." Daring finishes saying as his sister rolls her eyes at him.
"Hey guys!" Dexter says as he and a group of students make their way to where the others had been hiding all of them cheering at having found them.
"Hunter!" Ashlynn says happily running up to her boyfriend. "How did you-"
"It was Jillian's beanstalk." Hunter explained.
"A few of us were able to sneak away from the school while Faybelle was out with the dragons." Jillian explained.
"And we did have someone help distract the Evil Queen for a little while." Cerise adds in mysteriously.
Flashback
"Andrea please you have to help us get out of the school!" Briar begged the demi-goddess for some help. "We've got to find Apple and Raven?!"
"Guys please I have to respect the new Headmistress okay." Andrea says shaking her head at them while walking towards an open window. "I mean it's not like I can just create a thunder storm that's only near the Headmistress office causing her to become confused and not notice if say a group of students used a beanstalk to get away!"
"Andrea I know that you 'can't help us' but what would such a storm even look like." Cerise asked innocently enough.
"Oh well it might look like this!" Andrea says then starts creating a thunder storm that was only near the Evil Queen's office and was quickly blowing things out of the new Headmistress control. "Opps! Oh I hope that some students don't use this confusion to escape!" Andrea said dramatically.
End Flashback
The students happy to have found each other were talking and laughing and just enjoying being away from the Evil Queen.
"Wow, Daring let you borrow his mirror?" Dexter asked Raven in surprise knowing that his brother never gave his mirror away that easily. "That's a first."
"This is no ordinary mirror this is the booking glass." Raven explained to him.
"Well I should have known that Daring would never just give up his mirror. Some people are so vain." Rotbart says coming out from the shadows.
"Rotty!" Raven shouts running up to her brother and hugging him. "How did you get here?"
"Well-" Rotbart begins to explain.
Flashback
"Ok, Andrea you're always going on and on about how powerful you are, I need you to get me out of the school without my mother knowing." Rotbart demanded after barging into her office maybe ten minutes after she helped the last group of students. "And I'm not taking no for an answer or hearing about how the Fates say this so-"
"Ok Darkest Prince." Andrea says plainly interrupting him.
"Or that, wait did you say ok?" Rotbart asked in confusion.
"I said ok Rotbart I'll help you." Andrea tells him while she began to search for something.
"Wait? But you always give some lecture every time I ask you to show how powerful you are?" Rotbart questioned. "Why are you helping me now?"
"Fates!" Andrea says knowingly much to the boy's growing confusion, luckily Andrea found what she was looking for. "Here this ring will take you right to where Raven and the others are, but it will only keep you there for about hour."
"Why?" Rotbart asked her looking carefully at the dark blue skull ring.
"Your mom went this crazy when she found out Raven had left, I don't think the school can take what she would do if you're gone as well." Andrea says with a shrug.
End Flashback
"I don't think mother would really even notice if I was gone, but I guess she had a point." Rotbart finished explaining. "Mother might get worse if she noticed both of us were missing."
"I'm glad you're here Rotty." Raven tells her brother then turns back to the group. "We can use the booking glass to send our mother back to the mirror realm. But how do we make this thing work before?"
"I don't know." Darling answered. "It just started talking and then Daring popped out."
"Hello. Mirror lady?" Maddie asked shaking the mirror trying to hear something. "Start doing mirror stuff!" Instead of it doing what she wanted the mirror gave Maddie a shock.
"Passcode incorrect." The Mirror says.
"Passcode?" Rotbart question looking at his sister.
"I don't know." Raven answered.
"We don't have a passcode!" Holly adds. "Raven, can't you do something?"
"Yeah. Unlock it with magic." Poppy tells her excitedly.
"In history of evil spells, Baba Yaga said the booking glass is shielded by dark fairy magic." Raven explained sadly.
"Even if my sister and I worked together we wouldn't be able to crack it." Rotbart adds in. "It's too different from our own."
"We have to send the Evil Queen back to where she belongs for poisoning Apple!" Ashlynn exclaimed in anger.
"What?!" Rotbart shouted his tone taking on so much confusion and outrage.
"Rotty," Raven sighs sadly trying to calm her brother down.
"She didn't- s-she couldn't not after I explained-" Rotbart says almost shaky. Being Apple's villain was supposed to keep me alive! "She did." Rotbart says now finally taking notice of Apple in the glass coffin.
"She did." Raven repeated back as she watched her brother sadly, she knew that as much as Rotbart didn't like Apple he still needed her even if he enjoyed tormenting her every now and again. "Forever after sleep."
Meanwhile Daring was pacing back in forth not sure what he should do. I don't love Apple, I know I don't love her but I care about her she's still my friend even if she's mad that I left her story. My feelings are for Cerise if I do this and it works…Daring had to stop thinking about it because it would be selfish to just leave Apple there he would never forgive himself for doing that to her. "This is it, Charming." Daring tells himself hoping it would make it easier. "You have to wake your sleeping damsel with a kiss-and it's happily ever after from here on out!" Daring continues to tell himself freaking out even more.
"Come on, drama prince let's go save Apple." Darling says to her brother trying to calm him down.
"Right save Apple." Daring says out loud though he said it with a hint of pain. Time to do the right thing and save Apple even if that means…no more Cerise.
With the Evil Queen
Faybelle was flying into the Evil Queen's office happy that all of the plans she worked so hard to accomplish had succeed. "I did it! I found Raven and her friends in the enchanted forest! I poisoned Apple White! I am on a wicked role! I am…being completely ignored! Ahem!" Faybelle says loudly now noticing the Evil Queen's disinterest.
"Faybelle. Which of these nail polish colors gives off more of a 'be scared of me because I'm your evil ruler' vibe?" The Evil Queen asked changing the color of her nails as she spoke.
"Did you hear what I said?" Faybelle asked her feeling a bit annoyed. "I took care of everything. How about a little evil credit over here?"
"Need I remind you who wears the crown in this wicked takeover?" The Evil Queen yells standing up. "None of this would be happening without my brilliant planning. Those idealistic damsels are still out there and this isn't over yet. But I've come too far not to see my ultimate plan completion." The Evil Queen finishes saying. "Are you sure about this color?" The Evil Queen asked once again looking at her nails.
"You look spelltacular." Faybelle says sadly although the Evil Queen doesn't realize it.
Back with the students
They were all looking at the sleeping Apple sadly until they heard the sound of a horse from nowhere ridden by Daring Charming who was most likely here to save the day. Almost everyone clapped and cheered as Daring walked confidently towards Apple.
"Apple White, you are my damsel. And I am your Prince Charming." Daring says out loud but on the inside he knew he didn't mean it. "And now I will fulfill our destinies and we shall live happily ever…" Daring moves in and kisses Apple on the lips but nothing happens. "Hm. Heh. Happily ever after." Daring tries again this time on her cheek but still nothing. "Ever after." Now he kisses her hand it still doesn't work after seeing the third kiss not working it became painfully clear what was going on.
"Daring is something wrong?" Raven asked seeing how Daring was now shaking a bit.
"I'm-I'm not the prince of destiny. I'm not her Prince Charming." Daring explains and now walks away not really knowing how to feel.
"What does this mean?" Cedar asked.
"It means Apple's forever sleep really is forever after." Raven says sadly.
Now that they all knew for sure that Apple wasn't going to wake up anytime soon the students decided to do a service for her and Raven decided to speak first.
"We're here today to honor and spellebrate Apple White. She was a royal, she was my roommate, and she was my friend." Raven began. "She was kind, she was loving, and she deserved her happily ever after. I wish I was as powerful as my mother or Andrea, that I had the kind of magic that could take me back to when all of this started. If I could go back, I'd tell Apple that she has a choice. We all do. We all have the power to choose our stories, and if your choice is to follow your pre-determined destiny you have to trust that it will happen in its own time. And you don't have to make a deal with evil." Raven says holding up the booking glass. "Make a deal with evil…"Raven whispers to herself coming up with an idea.
"Raven?" Rotbart questioned his sister.
"I-I have to go." Raven says running off before anyone could question her luckily Darling followed after her.
"Where are you going?" Darling questioned.
"To make sure the rest of my friends don't end up like Apple." Raven explains getting Nevermore ready to go.
"You're going to see your mother aren't you?" Darling questioned again but she already knew the answer. "Raven you can't!"
"It's the only way. I know what I'm doing." Raven says forcefully. "Here. You're going to need this." Raven says handing Darling the booking glass.
"The booking glass? But-but we don't know how to-" Darling begins to say but is interrupted by Raven.
"Trust me. Somebody is about to have a change of heart." Raven says and with that she flies away.
"What are you up to, Raven Queen?" Darling whispers as she watches her fly away.
Raven while riding on Nevermore makes it all the way to where her mother's office in the school.
"Hello, Raven." The Evil Queen says happy to see her daughter.
"We, need to talk." Raven informs her.
Back with the rest of the students
An announcement was about to be made that would cause mass confusion.
"Attention subjects! Your attention please!" The Evil Queen says on everyone's mirror phone. "Just thought you'd be hexcited to know that I'm leaving Ever After High, and this kingdom forever after." The Evil Queen says much to everyone's shock. "Yes that's right, your cursed little lives have all been spared. Because, well let's just say mother's day came early this year." The Evil Queen moves aside so that everyone could see Raven dressed in a similar outfit as herself.
Everyone else gasped in shock once they saw Raven, her brother was very confused himself knowing personally how stubborn Raven was he just couldn't believe she gave in to their mother.
"My daughter, Raven Queen has agreed to join me. To become evil and take over lands with me and her brother." The Evil Queen continues to explain which caused more murmurs of confusion.
Back at the school
"Let's see here…What land shall we take over first?" The Evil Queen asked bring up a large magical map that showed different kingdoms. "We could take another crack at Wonderland. Or we could conquer and rule over gingerbread land. Or-or hear me out now the land of the giants!" The Evil Queen continues to make suggestions excitedly not noticing how disinterested Raven was.
"Those all sound great mom. I'll go anywhere you want." Raven says plainly. "As long as it's not here."
"Ah! I'm too excited to pick. My wicked little blackbird has flown home. We'll have your brother do it he's always been wicked at this sort of thing! Mother-daughter evil selfie!" The Evil Queen say excitedly again using magic to pull Raven close so that they could take the picture.
"Oh my fairy godmother!" Faybelle yells in anger. "I've spent all this time fluttering around, doing your evil bidding without so much as a 'hey thanks Faybelle. Hex of a job.' And now little miss 'I'm gonna choose my own destiny' comes waltzing in and you actually believe she's going to be evil?!" Faybelle finishes ranting.
"Will you excuse us for a moment?" The Evil Queen say to her daughter and then walks over to Faybelle bringing up a sound proof bubble so that she could talk to the girl. "That is my daughter you're talking about."
From outside the bubble Raven could see that her mom and Faybelle were having a really heated argument.
"Whatever after. I'm telling you she is up to something. You don't honestly think she's evil now." Faybelle argues.
"She's going to be just like me because I gave her no choice!" The Evil Queen yelled. "All of my plotting and planning has finally gotten me what I want! Don't you understand? I won!"
"All of this was about Raven?" Faybelle asked weakly. "But what about me?"
"What about you?" The Evil Queen said mockingly. "Now where were we?" The Evil Queen turns her attention back towards Raven. "Oh, what about the Sea Kingdom? We could rule over the mer-folk? Oh we could get paddle boats! You know Rotbart should really be here for this he's good with water right? He's like that water something now…where is he? Faybelle go get my son!" The Evil Queen ordered not seeing the tears rolling down Faybelle's cheeks she then angrily flies off.
Back with the students
It was a confusing time for the group at the moment from finding out that Daring really wasn't Apple's Prince to Raven now giving in and becoming evil. It was unnerving to Rotbart to see his sister's hand forced into evil, he had always wanted her to be evil he never wanted to see her like this if she didn't want to be. On top of that his secure story was ripped out from under him by his own mother no less. She looks so peaceful and quiet…this should be great but I feel so hallow like I've been robbed. While the other students all spoke aloud at once about their worries Rotbart could only look at Apple as she slept on.
Daring in the meanwhile was away from the group feeling so many things at once, sadness, relief then anger at himself for feeling relief but mostly he was uncertain about his future. His whole life was spent preparing for something that he would never do and although he realized that possibility a few months ago he still felt bad for not being able to help his friend and if he thought about it a little bit it scared that his future was even more unclear.
Suddenly Apple started coughing and gasping and everyone thought she was about to wake up.
"Apple! Wake up." Briar says shaking her friend but she only gasped a bit and fell back into sleep.
What a minute! She was choking. Rotbart thinks then rushes over and checks on Apple's breathing.
"Rotbart what are you doing?" Briar asked the would-be-villain but he doesn't answer her and just takes a big breath pressing his lips to Apple's lips he fills her lungs with air. Apple starts coughing again and Rotbart could see a puff of pink magic come out of her mouth as Apple continued to cough until she is finally fully awake.
"Apple!" Darling says with joy and Rotbart moves aside as Apple's friends' crowd around her in happiness.
"Apple's back! Apple is awake!" Could be heard from the group of friends.
Looks like my time here is up. Rotbart thinks as he feels the power of the ring bring him back to Ever After.
"What happened? Did-did Daring wake me up?" Apple asked hopefully as she gets used to speaking again, though the awkward looks on everyone's face gave her the answer that no he didn't. "Then who?"
"Well Apple, Rotbart actually woke you up and-" Briar decided to come clean but when she turn to look for him he was gone. "Where did he go?" She asked but everyone shrugged not having noticed him leaving once Apple was awake.
"What Rotbart he…wait where's Raven?" Apple asked noticing that both siblings weren't there at all and everyone else looking awkward again. "Un-hex-ceptable!" Apple shouted after her friends explained what had happened to Raven. "The Evil Queen cannot be allowed to win like this. We have to do something."
"I'm sorry, Apple but I think we're too late." Ashlynn sadly tells her friend.
"You don't understand. This is all my fault." Apple informs them. "I set the Evil Queen free. I thought keeping her secret was going to be good for Ever After High. Good for all of us. But look at all the trouble it lead to. And Raven joining sides with her mother? That's not the happily ever after she wanted. Please. Help me fight back, help me save Raven. We have dragons! We have the booking glass. We just need the passcode."
"We've tried, Apple." Darling tells her while looking at the mirror. "But it's not like we can guess the combination. Daring just got lucky when he got captured."
"Lucky? I wouldn't put it that way." Daring disagreed.
"I would!" Faybelle shouts from out of nowhere flying over on a dark dragon towards the group. "Let me guess, don't know how to unlock the booking glass?" Faybelle says flying over and grabbing it from Darlings hands much to everyone's fear. "One, two, three, four that booking glass is locked no more!" she cheered while doing a spell that unlocked the mirror. "What should I capture? Hmm. How about a sandwich." And just like that the sandwich that Sparrow was about to eat got captured and Faybelle gave the booking glass back to Darling.
"I don't understand, why are you switching sides?" Darling asked the dark fairy.
"This dark fairy is just out for revenge. I worked my wings off for that ungrateful queen. Let's see how well her wicked plans go without Faybelle in her corner." Faybelle explained.
"What are you people waiting for people?" Darling asked the group.
"Dragon up!" Apple added, and with that the group ran towards the dragons ready to go to battle with the evil queen.
"Somebody is going to have a change of heart." Darling says as she saddles up in her dragon. "That's what Raven told me before she left."
"What does that mean?" Apple asked.
"It means that she knew Faybelle was going to get angry at the evil queen and switch sides." Ashlynn explained.
"This was part of her plan all along. She's playing her mother." Maddie added as well.
"And she knows that we're coming with the booking glass." Darling finished as Cerise got behind her on her dragon.
Back at Ever After
"Darkest, your mother is waiting for you, so you had better get going!" Andrea informed Rotbart the minute he reappeared in her office.
"I highly doubt she noticed I was gone." Rotbart replied sarcastically.
"Last I heard she wanted to take over the underwater kingdom. Good thing Alex isn't here right now or he'd make waves! Big ones." Andrea says rolling her eyes.
"I guess I would be her water professional." Rotbart whispers darkly leaving the office.
Inside the Evil Queen's office
Rotbart made it just in time to see that his mother was packing up for what she thought she needed.
"And we'll need some dragon tears, a little dark fairy dust. My dark robe oh and my other dark robe." The Evil Queen states as she throws her stuff towards the empty body of Snow White. "Rotbart where have you been I'm almost finished packing!" The Evil Queen says noticing her son had finally arrived.
"Just torturing some subjects before we go." Rotbart said evenly.
"Oh, you're such a bad bird my little hoot hoot." The Evil Queen said very pleased to hear this. "Why do you keep doing that?" The Evil Queen asked turning her attention back to Raven.
"Doing what?" Raven asked as Nevermore and Nightmare stood next to her.
"Staring ominously into the distance. What are you looking for?" The Evil Queen asked.
"Nothing. I'm just really hexcited. About being evil and conquering the world and stuff." Raven answered forcefully.
"We both are hexcited mother." Rotbart adds hoping to cover for his sister who doesn't sound all to convincing.
"Prove it." The Evil Queen demands using her magic she opens an endless void. "You're on the path to become evil now Raven, dear. Toss Snow White and those teachers into that void."
"I can do that mother no problem." Rotbart tells her getting in front of Raven.
"I know you can Rotbart, but this task is for Raven only." The Evil Queen tells them.
The two siblings share a look and Raven putting on a brave face walks over to Snow White and the teachers.
"Raven, please help us." Snow hissed.
Raven looking at the captured staff and Snow looks at her mother and decides she can't bear to do it so she attacks her mother with her own magic. "Nice try, birdy." The Evil Queen chuckles. "But I am much more powerful than you!" The Evil Queen shoots her on magic at Raven knocking her down.
"Raven!" Rotbart cries out in a worried tone running over to her, but their mother puts up a magically barrier around Raven. "Mother!" Rotbart spats in anger turning to glare at her.
"Rotbart, how disappointing, I know that Raven is just doing all this to save her little friends out there. But you've never gone against me like this?" The Evil Queen questions.
"I told you not to force Raven's hand. I told you that I needed to be Apple's villain just to live but you didn't care then and you don't care now so why should I?" Rotbart replies darkly his own magic flaring up but unlike his sister he was waiting for the right time to use it.
"And you'd really turn against me because of something so petty." The Evil Queen says rolling her eyes at him.
"My sister and my life aren't petty mother!" Rotbart replies back even angrier this time not being able to help but to attack at his mother with magic.
"You maybe more powerful than your sister, Rotbart." The Evil Queen says then hitting her son with magic as well and putting up another magically barrier around him. "But you're not more powerful than me!"
Nevermore and Nightmare seeing that their owners were in trouble tried to help defend them but the Evil Queen wrapped them in chains and pulled them away.
"Nevermore! Nightmare!" The two siblings shouted together.
"You may not be evil now Raven Queen, but mark my words, you will learn! Just like your brother will learn never to go against me himself!" The Evil Queen yells when suddenly the sound of dragons could be heard.
"Apple. Apple's awake!" Raven says in surprise.
"Yes. And it seems somebody showed her how to use the booking glass." The Evil Queen states with narrowed eyes seeing Faybelle behind Apple. "You! You were behind this! You played on Faybelle's jealousies and tricked her into joining your friends. You manipulative little chip off the old glass slipper." The Evil Queen says with joy changing her clothes into her dragon rider's outfit. "It takes a truly wicked mind to concoct a scheme like that. Oh you have so much evil potential! It's too bad I have to go destroy your friends now. Spell you later." The Evil Queen says taking off on a dark dragon.
"Raven we have to get out of this I didn't waste my time waking Apple up just so mother could get away with her scheme." Rotbart says darkly.
"Y-you woke Apple up?!" Raven asked in shock.
"I can explain later we need to get out now!" Rotbart proclaims.
Back to the Evil Queen
The Evil Queen and the dark dragons where in the sky waiting for the other dragon riders to get to them.
"All right, everyone listen up." Darling ordered. "Apple has to get as close to the Evil Queen as she can let's cover her back and make sure she gets there. Hang on to your crowns!" Darling shouted and the group flew towards the Evil Queen and the battle began.
"No, we have to help them! We have to help my friends and defeat our mother!" Raven cried as she and her brother tried to think of a way to use their magic to escape.
"Raven please help us." Giles pleaded.
"She can't do it she doesn't have the strength." Milton says. Luckily for both siblings they were able to finally break free of their prison.
"Nevermore!" Raven shouted after changing back to her dragon riders outfit she runs back to her dragon and breaks her free. "Rotty, we need to go help them!" Raven turns to her brother just as he frees his own dragon.
"You're gonna have to do this yourself Raven." Rotbart tells her.
"But I'm gonna need your help?!" Raven insisted.
"No you don't, besides I've done enough noble things for one day anymore will just make me sick." Rotbart said as he stood there with Nightmare.
Knowing that her brother would most likely stick to his word Raven climbs on Nevermore to go help her friends. The group had been doing their best to fight off the Evil Queen but she was very powerful and it wasn't long before she caught up to Apple and Faybelle whom were shocked to see her behind them. The Evil Queen shoot some of her magic at them forcing Faybelle to jump of the dragon just to get away, luckily she was able to get a ride on another dragon. Apple was now by herself trying to get the Evil Queen in range of the booking glass but was having a hard time with all the flying going on. Meanwhile the other students were still trying to fight off the dark dragons.
"Blondie Lockes here, reporting from the front-line of the most spell-binding dragon battle ever after!" Blondie announces while on top of a dragon with a pot over her head. "Apple White is leading a team of students in a royal campaign to stop the Evil Queen and send her back to the mirror realm! More to come as the pages continue to turn on this amazing story." Blondie says as she is hit with a magic blast herself.
"Maddie, use the fire extinguisher." Ashlynn orders as a dark dragon tries to follow after them, which Maddie then throws the extinguisher at the dragon knocking it out. "Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works!"
Apple was still flying after the Evil Queen, hoping to finally end it all. The two kept circling each other only for the Evil Queen to suddenly disappear into the clouds much to Apple's confusion but she quickly reappeared.
"Capture the evil q—No!" Apple yells as the Evil Queen quickly flies past her and grabs the booking glass.
"Now I'm going to let all your friends see what it's like to spend 100 years in the mirror realm." The Evil Queen shouts. "Starting with you! Capture Apple!" But the capture was interrupted by a magically blast from Raven that knocks it down. "Somebody's been practicing!" The Evil Queen says turning to see her daughter.
Raven raced after the booking glass that was about to hit the ground but luckily someone caught it before it did. "I thought you said you were staying out of this Rotty?!" Raven says in surprise.
"If you really thought that I would leave you to fight mother alone, then you don't know me as well as you should!" Rotbart answered tossing the booking glass towards his sister. "Try not to lose this like Apple did."
"Thanks!" Raven says as she flies back towards her mother and Apple. When Raven gets near Apple she tosses her the booking glass.
"Well, isn't this a fun little reunion." The Evil Queen says mockingly.
"It's over, mom. We're taking back the school." Raven yells.
"You might want to think about what you're doing, Apple. You're throwing away your destiny." The Evil Queen says to Apple trying to mess with her mind.
"Don't listen to her Apple." Raven shouts.
"Without me, you'll never get your happily ever after." The Evil Queen yells. "Raven has made it abundantly clear that she doesn't intend to follow in my footsteps. And since you don't want Rotbart as your villain…Face it, you don't have a choice."
"Yes I do." Apple shouts confidently. "We all have a choice. And I'll find my happily ever after some other way without you." Apple says then holds up the booking glass. "Capture Evil Queen!"
"Noo! I'm not going back!" The Evil Queen shouts as the booking glass magic tried to shoot towards herself but she manages to shield herself. "I told you! I'm more powerful than you!"
"Apple!" Raven shouts.
"She's weakening the booking glass!" Apple says in dismay.
Raven powers up her magic and jumps behind Apple so that she could give the booking glass the boost of magic that it would need to capture her mother once and for all.
"Noooo!" The Evil Queen shouts as the booking glass captures her.
The magic from the booking glass was so powerful that it even knocked Raven and Apple down from the dragons luckily Rotbart was still there riding on Nightmare and was able to catch the two before they fell to their deaths. "Nooo!" Could be heard as the booking glass continued to fall and shatter once it hit the ground.
"Raven, I think our next visiting day is going to be even more uncomfortable." Rotbart stated as the three watched the booking glass hit the ground.
Once the booking glass hit the ground all of the evil magic that the Evil Queen had done was taken away and the school was back to its normal self and on the ground.
"Good job you three!" Andrea say coming out of the school. "Just as the Fates said you guys had to work this out on your own."
"You knew?!" Rotbart asked in disbelief.
"Why didn't you help us?!" Apple wondered as well.
"Because Apple, you needed to learn this lesson and it wouldn't have happened if I had fixed things from the very start." Andrea explained. "Sometimes you've got to face the consequences of your bad decisions in order to become better and gain something better because of it."
"Is that why you didn't free the teachers as well?" Raven asked the demi-goddess.
"No, I could have helped them I just didn't feel like it." Andrea said with a laugh. "By the way Apple you might want to check on your mother."
"Okay." Apple says about to run into the school only to see her mother coming down the steps to meet her. "Mom." Apple says with a happy gasp and runs up to hug her.
A Few days later
Raven and Rotbart were once again going to visit their mother who was once again held up in mirror prison.
"Miss Queen and Mr. Von Schwarz, need I remind you two do not touch the glass." Milton Grimm reminds them as they both sign the paperwork.
"Oh, please." Raven says with a roll of her eyes.
"He acts as if we were the ones to release mother in the first place." Rotbart whispers darkly as he and his sister walk towards the staircase once more. "Think mother will be mad that both of her birdies were 'good'?"
"Who knows maybe?" Raven says with a shrug after the two finished climbing the stairs.
"There's my little blackbird. And my hoot hoot." The Evil Queen say happily upon seeing her children.
"Mom." Raven says.
"Mother." Rotbart also stated.
"So…what's new?" The Evil Queen asked easily causing the siblings to share a look.
"How are you holding up in there?" Raven asked carefully.
"Oh it's not so bad, I suppose. Somebody left a sandwich in here." The Evil Queen tells them. "I'm…royally proud of you, Raven."
"Seriously? After all that?" Raven asked in disbelief.
"You demonstrated that your powers are even stronger than before. You both have. And to orchestrate such a crafty scheme to take down the evil queen? The Evil Queen." The Evil Queen says with a chuckle. "You're more like me than you realize Raven. Like it or not you can't escape your destiny."
"We'll see." Raven says evenly.
"And Rotbart I…I want to say I'm sorry." The Evil Queen turns to her son to say.
"What?" Rotbart asked in surprise. "You're apologizing?"
"You know that it is important for me that both you and your sister are evil. But that doesn't mean I should have over looked all the evil hard work you're doing." The Evil Queen tells him. "After your father had died and then I not too long after was sent to mirror prison I asked you to look out for your sister. And even though I don't really approve of you taking her role, I know you're doing it to protect her and I'm proud of you for doing it."
"Thank you, mother." Rotbart managed to say like his sister he was very surprise to hear those words.
"Well mom, I have to go, I'm late for a match." Raven speaks up again.
"I'll be watching." The Evil Queen say and the two siblings leave the room.
Raven was flying on Nevermore towards the dragon arena as fast as she could.
"Hey what took you so long…let's do this!" Apple says getting her dragon ready to play.
"Ready when you are!" Raven says back and the dragon's game match began.
Later that night
It was a quiet peaceful night with still a few hours before curfew. And Rotbart was out by his favorite lake to get some quiet reading done, because of all that dragon games business he hadn't had time to read his Poe book that Andrea gave him. Rotbart was enjoying rereading 'Annabel Lee' not really noticing the rustle of brushes coming from behind him. I was a child and she was a child, in this kingdom by the sea; but we loved with a love that was more than love, I and my- "Apple?" Rotbart questioned in surprise having finally noticed that the rustling turned out to be Apple White and not some animal. "What are you doing here?"
Though Apple like many princesses enjoyed spending time in the enchanted forest it was rarely done at night and even rarer by themselves. Which was why Rotbart enjoyed coming to the lake at night more than day time he was less likely to run into any princesses this way.
"Raven said you might be out here." Apple says nervously. "I-I came to talk to you."
"Why?" Rotbart managed to say with disinterest though he was very curious it wasn't like Apple to come to him on her own.
"I thought it would be a good idea to wait a few days…you know after everything had settled back down a bit. I'm not even sure if we should be talking about this but if we wait too long it might be just as bad and-" Apple begins to explain pacing back and forth though this was only confusing Rotbart even further.
"What are you babbling about?" Rotbart says as he continues to watch her pace around. "Stop moving around and explain yourself!"
"Y-you w-woke me up!" Apple begins to say not really looking at him.
"What? You're not making any sense?!" Rotbart says shaking his head at her. I just wanted a quiet night of reading! Is that too much to ask for.
"When I bit the poisoned apple." Apple shyly brings up. "My friends told me that Daring's kiss didn't work and then you-"
"Were able to get you to wake up." Rotbart finished now remembering himself. "Why does that matter? If you're trying to thank me-" He began to say.
"No! No," Apple shouts interrupting him. "I mean it's not that I'm ungrateful or anything it's just that n-now things are different."
"Again, what are you talking about?" Rotbart asked in frustration. "How are things any different?"
"Only Snow White's prince charming is supposed to be able to wake her up!" Apple proclaims. "And Rotbart you woke me up so..."
"You think it's me?" Rotbart says in disbelief then starts laughing at her. "You think that I'm your Prince Charming! That might be the stupidest thing I've heard you say all week!"
"But that's how the story goes Rotbart. Don't you think I was confused as well when I heard my friends said that you woke me up with-"Apple begins to argue.
"With CPR! Apple, I used CPR to wake you up it wasn't true loves kiss anyone could have done it!" Rotbart explained while still laughing darkly.
"But you did!" Apple argues again. "You were there to do it out of everyone and you were there when me and your sister were fighting the Evil Queen and…and sometimes I'm not so sure that you're completely evil."
"But I am evil Apple! I'm a villain that's what I've always been and that's what I choose to be, just because I do things to help me sister doesn't change that." Rotbart shouted now pacing around himself. "I'm not your Prince Charming, I'm never going to be anyone's-" Rotbart had been too busy ranting and pacing to notice that Apple had moved closer to him and before he knew it she was kissing him. What the hell does she think she's doing this is wrong! Rotbart at first was too shocked to move then something changed he started kissing Apple back. This is nice. Before he could stop himself he was pulling Apple closer to himself and kissing her even more deeply. He would have been more than happy to stay like this but the kiss was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a dragon roar.
As if the coldest waters from the Underworld were thrown violently in his face Rotbart pulled away from Apple so quickly it was almost as if she was made of fire. "No." Rotbart says shaking his head in disbelief his heart was racing, he felt breathless. The last time I felt like this was when… "No!"
"Rotbart?" Apple asked carefully trying to reach over to him.
Poor beautiful thing I should go to her and- "No!" Rotbart says shaking his head he stared at Apple in horror as if she were a monster. I need to get away! Before Apple could question it Rotbart had changed himself into an owl and flown away, far away from her.
A/N and that's the end of dragon games. I've got to say as much as I've had fun writing this it will be nice to get back to some regular chapters again. As always please read and review see you next chapter.
