I know it's been awhile since I last updated, but better late than never right? Anyway thanks for reading.

It was a normal day at Ever After High Raven was walking with her friend Maddie. They had both stopped walking when they saw Cerise and Ramona in the castleteria surrounded by many other students. There were no teachers around so Raven was ready to break up the fight when a loud slap was heard and the whole room feel silent. Ramona had hit Cerise. Cerise ran out of the room at an inhuman speed. Raven told Maddie that she was going to check on Cerise. Maddie had said something in riddleish, but Raven wasn't listening she was too busy looking for Cerise. After running around half the school Raven found Cerise outside by the bleachers.

Cerise heard footsteps behind her and was about to take off until she heard a familiar voice.

"Cerise wait" Raven said running up to her.

Cerise turned around "oh hey Raven" she said as she pulled her hood down after scanning the area to make sure no one was around. Cerise had always enjoyed being around Raven especially since she had learned her secret. She felt that she could be herself around her.

Raven stopped dead in her tracks as her eyes raked over Cerise's face and landed on the big red handprint on her left cheek.

Cerise was waiting for Raven to respond when she realized what had caught her attention.

"How could she do this to you. I mean I get that you guys are suppose to be enemies, but" Raven said in a low voice.

"This oh it's nothing I mean it stings a little, but I'm fine. Sure she could gone a little easier on me"

"IT'S NOT FINE" Raven interrupted. Purple tendrils of magic were slipping off her in anger.

"Raven calm down. My sister wouldn't ever try to hurt me for real. It was just an act ya know. To keep the bad blood going so people down get suspicious."

Raven calmed down a bit as she saw Cerises eyes soften. "I know, but I saw the slap and it looked liked it hurt. I never want to see someone I care about hurt."

Cerise stepped closer to Raven and pulled her into a loving embrace. She wasn't sure if Raven had realized what she just said, but it was good to know that she cared even if it wasn't in the same way.

Raven felt so at peace when wrapped in Cerises arms. She loved her, but never had a chance to tell her. With them both having dysfunctional families she felt that Cerise was a kindred spirit and was able to show a different side of herself. Now would be a good a time as any.Raven thought to herself

"Uh Cerise I wanted you to know that I'm always here for you and well that I love you and I know that you might not feel the same way, but hear me out mmmhh" Raven was cut off by Cerise's warm lips which effectively shut her up. The kiss lasted for what felt like an eternity Cerise had moved her hands to Raven's waist, while Ravens hands found their way to the back of Cerises neck.

"Wow" they both said in unison after parting for air.

"Come on I think I have a spell to help with that handprint. Hopefully it won't leave a mark." Raven said grabbing Cerise's hand.

"I'd rather just kiss you again" Cerise said falling in sync with Raven's pace.

Just then Raven stopped in front of Cerise and pulled her hood back up bringing Cerises lips back to hers for a not so quick peck. "We can do more of that after you're taken care of."
