In the world of Ever After, the weather was usually bright and sunny.
But today, things were a bit different.
The sky was turning green and the wind seemed to pick up high speeds.
Inside Ever After High, Milton Grimm, headmaster of the school, made an announcement.
"Attention students! There is a tornado heading straight for the school. So, for everyone's safety, please take shelter in the school basement."
All of the students gathered in two single-filed lines to the basement.
"Do you think we'll be alright?" Apple White, daughter of Snow White said.
"I'm sure we will." said Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen.
Just then, Headmaster Grimm approached the girls. "Ms. White, I wish to see you in my office." he said in his serious tone.
Apple's bright blue eyes widened. "Me, Sir?!"
"You are not in trouble. I simply need your assistance." said the headmaster.
"Oh, of course." Apple looked as Raven, who shrugged as she was just as confused as Apple.
Headmaster Grimm brought Apple to his office. "You see, Ms. White. There's a reason why a tornado is heading straight for the school."
"Why is that, Headmaster?" asked Apple.
"There's a new student coming here from the Land of Oz. And the only way to travel from Oz is by tornado."
"The Land of Oz?!" Apple gasped. "How enchanting! I've always wanted to meet someone from Oz! Don't worry, Headmaster Grimm! You can count on me!"
"Of course I can." he smiled. "Now, let's go greet our new student."
Outside, a great big tornado was tearing through the village of Ever After. Everyone took shelter in their homes.
The tornado was composed of green wind. It blew directly down the road, leaving destruction in it's path.
The monstrous whirlwind approached Ever After. But as soon as it came close to the castle, it dissipated in an instant.
And there, standing before her new school, was Ever After High's newest villain, Wicca West, along with four black trunks of luggage.
Wicca saw the doors open and out came Milton Grimm. He observed the fallen tree branches and various debris around the area.
"That was quite a wicked entrance, Miss West." said the headmaster. "You're off to a promising start." He smiled. Headmaster Grimm was always delighted that students followed their appropriate destinies, even those with evil destinies.
"Welcome to Ever After High." The headmaster said as he came down the steps. "I am Milton Grimm, headmaster of Ever After High. The trolls will take care of your luggage."
"Hmm," Wicca grumbled from deep inside herself. She remembered what her mother always said: 'Evil actions speak louder than words.'
"Now then, I will have a member of the welcoming committee show you around the school and bring you to your dorm room."
Wicca followed the headmaster inside. The first thing she saw was the overbearingly sweet looking girl who made the young witch cringe with disgust.
Apple White stared slackjawed at the new student. She gaped at her bright green skin, floppy black witch's hat over her wire-like hair, long black cape, shapeless black dress and pointed black boots. In her hand was a broomstick.
Apple never felt this sense of dread since she came face to face with the Evil Queen herself.
Wicca grew a devilish smile as she took in this blonde girl's frightened look. Her emerald eyes glistened with wicked excitement.
'This would be a perfect person to terrorize!' Wicca thought. She couldn't wait to start school. As a wicked witch, she couldn't stand anything sweet or pleasant looking. And this Apple girl was begging for some evil pranks.
Feeling the nasty look of the new student penetrating her soul, Apple swallowed a little and introduced herself. "H-Hello, I'm Apple White, daughter of Snow White."
"Really? The Snow White?" Wicca mused. "How disgustingly nice."
Apple was a bit surprised by those words. "I take it you're a villain?"
"And you're the winner of today's Miss Obvious award."
"Miss West!" Headmaster Grimm reprimanded. "I understand your role as a villain, but you must mind your manners!"
'I'd rather melt.' Wicca said in her mind.
Apple cleared her throat to break the tension. "Anyway, Wicca. As as a member of the Ever After High Welcoming Committee, I'm proud to show you around our fine institution of learning!"
Wicca was excited to begin her evil destiny at this school, but she had to look uncaring, so she just scoffed.
Once Headmaster Grimm announced the tornado was over, the students emerged from the basement.
But when they saw who was beside Apple, they all looked with shocked eyes.
Apple White was beaming as she was walking with the most abnormal looking girl they've ever seen.
Wicca glanced her green eyes around the hallway. Seeing their scared expressions what just the first impression she wanted to make.
"And this is the Castleteria where we have lunch!" Apple said.
As expected, many students stared at Wicca. But she noticed a hint of disgust in their eyes and she felt a twinge of sadness.
Wicked witches weren't known to be beauty queens, but Wicca knew that she was ugly, or at least she believed so. But it didn't matter, evil is an ugly business and it doesn't have to be pretty.
At the corner of Wicca's eye, a boy with glasses was walking by with a taller blonde boy. The boy in the glasses saw Wicca in his path and was so startled, he tripped and dropped his lunch tray on the floor.
"HEY!" Wicca shouted, gobs of food on her favorite pointed boots. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, DORK!"
"Uh, s-sorry!" the boy stuttered, fixing his glasses. "I didn't mean to!"
"You better not have!" snapped Wicca, her eyes flashing.
"Hey! Take a chill potion!" the blonde boy said. "He said he was sorry! And...who are you anyway? I've never seen you before."
"Oh! Uh, Daring, this is Wicca West. She's a new villain student from the Land of Oz!"
Daring blinked his blue eyes and sneered. "A villain? So you're the one who tripped my brother!"
Wicca growled and grabbed Daring from his shirt collar. "You brother tripped over his own feet, ya nitwit!"
Daring and Wicca kept glaring daggers at each other until Apple broke them apart. "Okay! Okay! That's enough!"
Daring scoffed and fixed his shirt before picking his brother off the floor and walked away.
Apple heard murmurs among her peers. They were obviously talking about Wicca.
"Wicca, I know you're just following your destiny. But you can't get in too much trouble." Apple warned her. "If you get in too much trouble, you could get expelled!"
Wicca frowned. "What's the point of being a villain if I can't be bad?" There's one thing she had to hate about school.
"Don't worry. You'll have plenty of time to be bad in your story." Apple said. Her smile made Wicca want to puke.
"How about we get you some lunch?" Apple offered. "We can order something from the menu."
"No thanks." Wicca snapped her fingers and a black metal box appeared in her hands. "I packed my own lunch."
Apple showed her to a table. There, Wicca spotted two girls. One girl with long, wavy brown hair with pink streaks. She wore pink dress and a pair of crown glasses.
It was the other girl who really caught Wicca's eye. She wore a purple dress and a silver spiky headband in her black and purple hair.. She looked like a bad witch, perhaps this could be a potential friend.
"Wicca, I'd like you to meet my best friends forever after, Briar Beauty and Raven Queen." Apple introduced.
Wicca spotted her target. This was the good witch she had to befriend!
"Nice to meet you!" Wicca smiled so splendidly nice, it surprised Apple. She immediately sat next to Raven.
"Nice to meet you too." Raven said. "Uh, Wicca, right?"
"Yep! Wicca West! Daughter of the Wicked Witch of the West."
Briar's brown eyes grew wide. "For real?! That wicked witch?!"
Raven was just as shocked. "I thought she was destroyed!"
Wicca wanted to snap at them for speaking of her mother in a poor way, but she kept it inside and took a breath. "Well...my mom was...destroyed when I was just a baby. So I really don't talk about her much."
"Oh..." Raven felt the genuine pain in her words. She put an understanding hand on Wicca's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Wicca. I didn't mean anything."
Wicca felt touched by Raven's kindness. Never would she expect a complete stranger being nice to a mean, ugly witch like her.
"Wicca? You okay?" said Apple.
"Huh?" Wicca blinked. "Yeah, I-I'm okay." She opened her lunch box. "You want a banana bread muffin?" She took out the sweet treat and offered it to Raven.
"Sure!" Raven kindly took the muffin and had a bite. "Wow! This is spelltacular! Did you make these?"
Wicca shook her head. "Nope, my Aunt Flossy made them. She's the best cook in the world!"
Raven raised a brow. "Aunt Flossy?"
"Yeah," Wicca took out her mirrorphone and looked up a picture of her aunt. "Here she is."
The girls leaned in to see this wonderful aunt. They expected a sweet looking green witch.
Instead, they saw a green, winged ape wearing red lip stick and a pink apron. She was smiling, exposing her hideous yellow teeth.
"That's your aunt?!" Briar blurted out, disgusted.
"Yeah. When my mom was destroyed, the flying monkeys took care of me and raised me." Wicca explained. "They're not perfect, but they're still family to me."
The girls were stunned by Wicca's story. Raised by flying monkeys? It sounded more wacky than Wonderland!
As Wicca enjoyed her muffin, she felt something interesting today with Raven. Perhaps it's friendship?
'Mom's plan is working already!' Wicca thought happily in her head. 'This is gonna be a breeze!'
