Wicca was wide awake and ready for another evil day at school. She checked her mirror to make her hair was nice and tame. She decided to wear a black witch hat, a black sheath dress with a flared skirt with a green swirl statement belt, a small black cape, and red leather boots.
The witch looked at her reflection carefully. "Hmm, something's missing..."
Wingsy screeched something. Wicca turned to him and the little flying monkey handed her a tube of red lipstick to match her shoes.
"Lipstick?" Wicca smiled. "Did you steal this for me?"
Wingsy nodded proudly.
"Thank you, Sweetie." Wicca petted the monkey's head. "I'll bring you back a banana for lunch!"
Wicca quickly applied the lipstick and grabbed her broomstick, zooming out of her room and headed straight for General Villainy.
Wicca sat in her spot in the far right corner. The other villain students arrived and sat on their respective seats. Raven was going to take her seat next to Raven until Faybelle pushed her aside.
"Seat's taken, Queen!" snapped the dark fairy.
Stunned and offended, Raven looked at Wicca. The young witch looked rather meek, trying to find the right thing to say. She just shrugged with a sorry look.
"Are you deaf, Raven Queen?! Seat's taken! Move it!"
Luckily, Ginger broke the tension and took Raven's hand. "It's okay, Raven. You can sit with me."
Raven exchanged a parting sneer at Faybelle before sitting with the daughter of the Candy Witch.
Faybelle sat next to Wicca. "Rule of thumb: Stay away from Raven Queen." she advised. "She turned her back on evil. You don't want that loser cramping your style."
'You're the one cramping my style.' Wicca thought. But she had to keep tabs on all the villains at Ever After High, even if they were pains in the broom.
Mr. Badwolf snarled as he came in. "Bad morning, students. I've taken the liberty of assigning group projects. Working in teams of two, you will cause a tremendous act of evil upon the school. If they're considered evil enough by my approval, you pass. If not, you fail."
Wicca felt a little nervous. A big assignment right off the bat? Well, being evil meant be ready for anything.
"I've already assigned your partners." Mr. Badwolf read off his clipboard. "Ramona and Duchess Swan."
Ramona rolled her eyes. "Great, me and a ballerina. Someone pass the limbo stick."
"I'm not thrilled either, Dog breath." Duchess snipped.
"Sparrow Hood and Lizzie Hearts."
Sparrow let out an ear-splitting rocker scream. "Me and Lizzie Hearts?!" He strummed on his green electric guitar.
Wicca cringed from that awful sound, it sounded worse than flying monkeys screeching. She cast a spell on Sparrow's guitar and turned it into a long green anaconda. The son of Robin Hood screamed even louder than usual as he tried to fight the snake off. The other students screamed in terror and backed away from the giant serpent.
Except Mr. Badwolf and Faybelle.
Mr. Badwolf smiled and wrote in his clipboard. "Impressively evil, Ms. West! Hextra credit for you!"
"You bad, girlfriend!" Faybelle laughed. Wicca laughed as she and Faybelle high-fived.
"You two shall make a hexcellent team!" Mr. Badwolf scribbled out a couple of names on his list and wrote some new ones. "Faybelle Thorn and Wicca West! You will be partners!"
"HELLO?! Killer snake in the room?!" Duchess honked. She morphed into a swan and flew up high.
"Someone do something!" Ginger screamed, standing on her desk.
"You'll have to remove the snake, Ms. West." said Mr. Badwolf. "Too much chaos will get us in trouble with Headmaster Grimm."
"Yes, Sir." Wicca snapped her fingers and the snake returned to being a harmless guitar.
Raven confronted the teen witch. "Wicca! How could you do something like that?!"
Faybelle stood between them. "Back off, Queen Goody Good! Wicca's just following her destiny, that's all! In fact, I would have done the same thing."
"She's right, Ms. Queen." said Mr. Badwolf. "Wicca here is embracing her evil heritage. In fact, you could learn a thing or two from her."
Raven frowned and sat back in her seat.
Mr. Badwolf cleared his throat. "Now, where was I? Oh, yes! Raven Queen and Ginger Breadhouse, you'll be partners."
Ginger and Raven were not excited about their assignment.
"Now, you will have three days to complete your assignments. And remember, when causing chaos, meticulous planning is called for. Results for most evil deed performed will be posted on the fourth day."
When class was dismissed, Faybelle put an arm around Wicca and whispered into her ear. "We'll talk about our project at the villain club." She flew off to her next class.
As soon as she left, Raven approached Wicca. "Wicca, listen. I know you're embracing your evil destiny, but you could have hurt someone back there with that giant snake!"
"Raven, it's over and done with now. There's no reason to be upset now that it's over." Wicca said. "Anyway, I don't have time to talk right now. I have to get to my next class." She hopped on her broomstick and took off.
Once all of her classes were done, Wicca was ready for the Villain club. She was heading over to the basement when she spotted two little kids running toward her carrying a rather large cake in their hands.
But when they spotted Wicca, they screamed and stopped in their tracks, they tossed up the the cake in shock but Wicca used a telekinesis spell to save it from splattering all over the floor.
The kids were a boy and a girl dressed in pastel pink, blue, and lavender. It looked like they stepped out of a candy theme park.
It was Gus and Helga Crumb, the children of Hansel and Gretel.
"What's the big idea?!" Wicca snapped.
"So there you are!"
Wicca saw Ginger and a different girl wearing a yellow dress and brown glasses running over to them. "How could you two steal our rose petal cake?" Ginger said with her hands on her hips. "Rosabella and I made that for cooking class-ic!"
Helga pointed at Wicca. "It vas here! That mean vitch made us steal it!" she said in her thick German accent.
"EXCUSE ME?!" Wicca roared. She handed the cake to Ginger and stomped over to the two theives. "YOU STOLE THAT CAKE, YA LITTLE PESTS!"
"Now the ugly vitch vants to hurt us!" Gus screamed.
"UGLY?!" Wicca's glare intensified, green magic sizzled through her eyes. Everyone felt frightened as they saw the witch's body glow. "I'LL SHOW YOU UGLY!"
With dark magic coursing through her body, Wicca completely transformed. Her nose became long and pointed, huge black warts covered her face, most of her hair was gone and replaced with bald patches, and she had blacked out teeth and some missing.
Wicca reached for the accusatory children with her bony, clawed hands and snarled at them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" The two kids ran for their lives screaming their heads off.
Wicca returned to her normal form. She was still glaring at those nasty little kids.
"Whoa, that was...pretty wicked." Ginger breathed out. "How did you do that?!"
"It was just an uglification spell." Wicca simply answered. "It comes in handy when you want to scare people half to death. But..." Wicca saddened. "I guess I didn't need a spell to scare off those brats..."
Even after a spellbinding makeover from her new friends, people still thought Wicca was ugly...
"Hey, don't be sad, Wicca." Ginger said, comforting the witch. "Don't let Gus and Helga Crumb get to you. All they ever care about is sweets and stuffing their faces with them." She rolled her eyes.
"So, you're Wicca?" Rosabella smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Rosabella Beauty, daughter of Beauty and the Beast."
Wicca's jaw dropped. Beauty and the Beast was her favorite story in the whole wide world. The flying monkeys would read it to her every night. She loved big, scary beasts, and the fact that someone can love and appreciate them meant a lot to her and her simian family.
Although, it was a downer when the beast became a boring old prince.
"Really?! I LOVE your story!" Wicca said, vigorously shaking Rosabella's hand. "Wait, does the Beast actually go to this school?!" She would love to meet the Beast!
Wicca pictured what he would look like; Big and burly, covered in thick fur with razor sharp claws and fangs that can tear anything and scare the pantaloons off people!
Now THAT would be her kind of man!
Before Rosabella could answer, Daring Charming and an entourage of girls came running down the hall. "Rosabella! There you are!" He scowled when he saw Wicca. "Oh, it's you."
The girls looked at Wicca with disdain and disgust. Wicca flashed her eyes in their direction and they leaped away and hid behind Daring.
Wicca returned his sneer. "What's the matter, Daring? Take a wrong turn to Dorksville?"
"If you must know, my future queen and I are going to have lunch together." Daring hooked his arm around Rosabella's. "Don't get too close to her, Rosabella. She'll give us warts." And the pompous prince walked away with Rosabella and his fan club.
"Future queen...?" Wicca suddenly gasped and turned to Ginger. "Does that mean-?!"
Ginger nodded. "Yep, Daring is destined to be the next Beast. Who knew?"
"That princey jerk?! No way!" Wicca growled and stomped her foot. "That really bubbles my brew!"
"What do you mean?" asked Ginger.
"The Beast is the best part of the story and that dork gets the part?! What a rip!"
However, Wicca spotted a mouse going up a clock. She saw the time and screamed. "HOLY CAULDRON SPILL! I GOTTA GET GOING!"
Wicca zoomed off to the basement, leaving Ginger stunned and confused.
Wicca traveled at lighting speeds through the basement door and zipped down to the darkness of the basement.
Faybelle looked at the witch with an impressed look. "Not a bad entrance. And with one minute to spare."
"Thanks." Wicca looked around. "Uh, where are the other members?"
"I told them there's no meeting today so we can discuss our project in secret." the dark fairy answered. "Now, I've made a list of evil things we can do. We can cast a thunderstorm to flush out the bookball team, or we could cast Briar Beauty and Apple White with ogre foot fungus, or..." She smiled like a true villain should. "we could curse everyone in school with a sleeping spell!"
Faybelle laughed evilly, but she noticed Wicca wasn't laughing. She was too busy looking at the list.
"What the hex, Wicca? Why aren't you laughing?"
"Well...these are all great ideas. But...I think we can do better."
"Like what?" asked Faybelle.
Wicca thought about her encounter with Daring and Rosabella. Daring Charming, that disgusting goody goody. With his perfect smile, great hair and buying the affection of innocent, mindless girls.
He doesn't even deserve a queen like Rosabella, let alone become the totally awesome beast in the witch's favorite fairy tale.
'I bet he wouldn't last five minutes as a beast.' Wicca thought.
Instantly, the perfect evil plan popped into her head. She curved an evil smile of her own and leaned into Faybelle's ear and whispered her plan.
"How about we turn the biggest loser at Ever After High into a big, nasty, monstrous beast?"
Faybelle's wings twitched with excitement. "I LIKE IT! Girl, you are a genius!" She and Wicca cackled together.
This was going to be the best evil project ever.
