Chapter 2: New beginnings
'Stop hurting me...'
'Stop hurting me!'
'STOP HURTING ME!'
I sat up, a sudden pain fills my body. It was unbearable, as if needles were digging their way into each and every nook of my body. I couldn't see, it was too much. I tried to scream, but nothing but air escaped my lips. It went on and on for what seems like hours.
But just as it was there, it was gone a moment later. The aftershock of what that was still had me frozen, my brain couldn't even function.
'Am I...dead...?' I asked myself, staring into the void that greeted me. I couldn't even see my body.
How did I...that can't be.' I tried to reason with myself, I was perfectly fine...well, the best I could be with the living states I lived. I only missed a day or so of not eating. That couldn't result in death...
'Could it...?' I asked myself once more, a seeping feeling going into my gut. Was the Afterlife? Hell? Purgatory? Heaven? Nothing!?
I calmed myself the best I could, as I tried to look for a trace of my body, a trace for anybody, a trace for a single light even. I can't feel anything. This couldn't be it. This couldn't be my life. I refuse! Give me the pain again, please let me feel alive in someway!
As I 'look' around the voided emtpyness before me, I started to feel a rush of depression feel me. I didn't want this to end. I want to live. I don't wanna be here. Get me out. Get me out. Get me out! Nothing responded, as I drifted out into the never ending Sea of Oblivion. But as if some being heard me, a feint glow caught my attention from the corner of my 'sight'.
'Yes!' I 'screamed', as I 'ran' towards the light. It was getting closer. My mind, racing, telling me to hurry as if it was about to be gone. Closer...and closer...and closer. Until my entire vison was blinded into the salvation of light.
(Location: Enchanted Forest)
I gasped, filling my lungs with air, the feeling of blood oxygen circulating in my veins was a good sign of 'not being dead'. My brain reboots, given the proper oxygen at this point, as my vison returns to me. The very first thing I see, is light, peering through a tree, I wasn't near Central Park last I checked. I steady my breathing, as my heart starts to race. Slowly, I pick myself up using both my arms, as I look around, trying to get a look at my surroudnings. A luscious forest surrounds me, something outta movie I saw a couple years back. Perfect green leafs, perfect amout of light, it just looks better than most forests, not that I've explored more than one forest. It looked almost magical.
'Now's not the time to make light of this situation.' My subconscious advise me, I wholeheartedly agreed, took inventory on my body, thinking to myself. 'Feet, check. Chest, check. Arms, check. Hands, check. Got pretty much everything.' I sigh in relief, as a thought escapes my mind. 'Were my hands always like this...and my coat feels looser. No, I can deal with it later. still gotta check inventory.' I forced the thought down, there are bigger matters at hand. I rimage through my coat pockets, and pull out what I could find. The small bowl of money I've had on me, my cracked MP3, and a small charger I had. 'So nothing to help me eh?' I joked to myself, as I sighed, placing the items back into my pocket.
I had no choice to the pick a distance and walk, and hope to find a way out or someone friendly. Noway in hell I'd yell, and waiting just seems like a shitty idea. So with great reluctance, I walked deeper (or out?) of the forest.
(Five minutes later)
"Fuck me I'm lost." I said aloud to myself, speaking the first words sense I came here. Couldn't really here myself due to the severe ass-chewing I was giving myself. 'You had to walk, you just couldn't yell and get eaten by a bear or mountain lion dude. Now you're lost, good job.' Sighing, I slunch slightly. Never realized how parched and hungry I was, it made sense to me given the fact I've skipped a day of food. My stomach growls, as I clench my eyes close. I kept walking anyways, not trying to stop.
Another growl comes, as I freeze up, eyes shooting out. 'That's not mine.' I think to myself. Fear shoots through me, as I pick up my speed, another comes, faster. I turn around me, trying to even spot the thing that was growling at me. My blood ran cold as I spot, right behind me, two glowing orbs, staring right at me. Locked onto me as it let loose another unhuman, almost wolf-like growl. The orbs were... hypnotizing never have I've heard of a animal with eyes like those. My instincts are telling me to run, to haul ass and get away. I comply, as I break into a full-on sprint, not caring for the stomach pains anymore. I run, and run, and run. Hours turns to minutes, and minutes turns to seconds. The rush of adrenaline courses through me as I just needed to get away from...whatever that was. I slowed, unable to take the pain, as I closed my eyes. Jogging at this point, I just try to keep going.
Key-word is 'try', as run, face-first, into a tree, falling onto my ass. I groan in pain, as I clench my now aching face. 'Yep, that's gonna leave a mark', luckly, no blood was spilled. I get up, and check behind me, a breath of relief escapes me, as I turn around. Speechless, what I saw left me speechless. A castle, right in front of me! It looked breath-taking, the sheer size and design of it made me smile slightly. But that quickly changed to uncertainty, as I pondered. 'Where the fuck am I?'
He looks back to the forest behind him, as he gulps. 'Rather take my chances here.' With that, he took a step forward...and fell down a tall hill.
"SONOVABIT-"
Like a dumbass.
(Location: At the bottom of said hill; POV 3RD.
Daughter of Evil, The Evil Queen's After Next, Friend. These are just some of the titles to describe Raven Queen, but the most fitting term for her, is most likely just Rebel.
You see, when students at Ever After High first come to terms with their destiny, they must sign the Story Book Of Legends, as a oath of sorts. Raven, unlike her Mother, is kind-hearted, caring, sweet, and over-all just not a bitch. So when it was time for her to accept her destiny. She refused to sign the book, causing inspiration and fear to others.
Now, Raven is just trying to change her fate, or some shit.
"Oi! Language!" A soft spoken voice spoke out. As-
Wait a second, what?
"You heard me! Watch your tongue!" The voice states to the...well the Narrator.
I'm sorry?
"Just watch it buster! Children might be watching!"
Who even are you?
"Madeline Hatter, or Maddy if you'd like!" One could hear the grin on her face.
Ok? Um, back to the story.
Moving on, nor caring for what she said, we move on to find Miss Hatter and Miss Queen are sitting down, having a nice tea party, small metal trays stack upon a long narrow dining table. How did she even get it there? Raven, sitting right beside her and currently raising a cup to her face, gives her friend a perplexed look.
"Maddy?" She reachs over to touch her shoulder. Maddy whips her head towards her, grinning.
"Sorry about that! Just had to lay down some ground rules for our Dear new Friend!" She states, taking a sip of her tea.
"...Ok...?" Raven made the right choice not asking, she should be used to this by now. "As I was saying, Apple's new mirror came in this morning, and just in time too. My arms were starting to give." She gives a wary smile, while rubbing her arms.
Madeline just gives her a big grin, showing off her pearly whites as her speaks. "Well~ a good cup of tea will fix just about anything! Plus I just bought a batch of muffins from the Beanstalk Bakery, fresh.~" Her words linger now, as she points to the trays in front of her.
"How do you even get the time and money to set this up?" Raven asked, sipping her tea.
"Plot!"
"What-"
"SONOVABITCH-"
Both heads turn towards the source of the cry, looking up the hill as they spot a object moving...and yelling.
"FUCKSHITBITCHDICKFUCKFUCKDICKDICK!" The entire way as it kept falling, as it zooms towards them. Baffled, Raven mouth gapes open, as Maddy takes a sip of her drink once more, thinking of ways to chew out the Author. Wait what?As the rolling object closes in fast, Raven gets from her seat, stepping away from the table as the object-
CRASH!Crashes onto the table, breaking it in half. Food and tea laid out both on the wreckage, and the person who was now laid out, groaning. Raven gets a good look at the body.
"A boy?" She asked.
"ooooOOOOWWWWWWW!" The boy replied, his arm reaching behind his back as he tried to soothe the pain.
Madeline claps, "Bravo! Encore! Again!" She cheers.
Way to make a intro.
