That evening after classes, Skia and the others were in the Royal Student Council Office.
"Okay, this is some kind of joke, right?" asked Briar. Cupid had contacted her, Maddie, and Darling.
"I'm afraid not, and something has to be done soon or their Shadow Beasts will destroy everything," said Skia.
"And how do we know you're telling the truth about these Shadow Beasts?" asked Briar.
"Shadow Walk," said Skia with a sigh while also snapping his fingers. This caused a Shadow Beast to appear out of everyone's shadows but his own.
"I was not expecting this," said Ashlynn whose Shadow Beast was a mouse. Hunter's was a chipmunk, Cupid's a dove, Briar's a praying mantis, Darling's a lion, and Maddie's was a snake.
"Hey, where is your Shadow Beast?" asked Darling as she petted her shadow beast.
"I don't have just one Shadow Beast," said Skia as he touched the wall behind him, turning it into a large shadow filled with thousands of Shadow Beasts.
"Holy!" said a stunned Ashlynn.
"Anytime someone dies their Shadow Beast sticks around, so I take them in until they're taken by someone who was just born," said Skia as he removed his hand from the wall, returning it back to normal.
"Alright, I believe you now, but why would Apple be jealous of Raven?" asked Briar.
"That's why we called you here, we need you to talk with her and find out," said Hunter.
"Okay, but it will have to wait till tomorrow," said Briar. Later that night, up in Apple and Raven's room.
"And then Dexter said," said Raven while laughing as she sat on her bed.
"Raven, can you stop talking about Dexter for just five seconds?" asked Apple who was working on her homework while sitting on her bed.
"What's up with you lately?" asked Raven who was shocked by what Apple had just said.
"What's up with me, hm, lets see, maybe it has to do with you always talking about Dexter!" said Apple.
"Wait, you're mad at me for talking about my boyfriend?!" asked Raven.
"Yes, because that's all you want to talk about I haven't heard anything but his name for weeks now!" said Apple as she threw her homework to the side inorder to stand up.
"Ha, that's the pot calling the cauldron black!" said Raven as she two stood up.
"And what is that supposed to mean?!" asked Apple as the two now stood with a few inches between their faces, rage burning in both of their eyes.
"Four words come to mind, Daring, destiny, poison apples," said Raven while counting on her fingers.
"That's it!" said Apple as she went to her closet and started packing a bag.
"Apple, what are you doing?" asked Raven.
"I'm going to spend the night at Briar and Ashlynn's room," said Apple as she put her homework into the bag.
"And then I'm going to Headmaster Grimm in the morning to demand switching roommates!" said Apple as she left, slamming the door behind her.
"Sigh, nice going Raven," said Raven as she just fell backwards onto her but, all the anger had been drained from her in that instant.
