A/N: A big thank you to the reviewers who were super confused and told me to edit. At first, I thought t was a bad chapter, then I realized it was just... weird. So thanks. :D
WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGERY AHEAD- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
""I am Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen. And I pledge to follow my destiny, by poisoning the next Snow White."
Raven Queen opened the book, and ignored what was shown in the mirror. She did not need to see her destiny to know she was going to be miserable, cruel and uncaring. She already was.
She swiftly signed the book, ignoring her tremulous stomach. She lifted her head, then said silently to the crowd, "It is done."/div
Shutting the book, she ignored the cheering and jeering under her, turned, and left the balcony.
Blondie Lockes, Shortly After Raven Queen's Exit
"There you have it! Everything is back to being 'just right' here at Ever After High! I've just been told that Legacy Day is back on! December 1, mark your calenders, fairy boys and girls! I'm so hexcited! More news up-"
"NO! MOTHER! FATHER! DON'T!"
"What the hex is going on?" Blondie asked, looking towards the balcony.
"Come on, Dexter! Hurry up!" Blondie exclaimed, running through the crowd.
"Tiny! Can you pick us up?" she called to the young giant.
"Uh, s-sure, Blondie," the young giant stuttered. He reached his hand down to the ground, allowing Blondie and Dexter to climb on.
"Getting a bird's eye view on what's going on- woah!" Blondie cried out, grabbing onto Dexter, desperate to stay steady. "Tiny! What's the big idea!"
"That wasn't my fault!" the giant exclaimed, making all the fairyteens cover their ears. "There was a burst of magic!"
"Raven!" Dexter and Blondie exclaimed together.
"Blondie straightened herself out, and then looked at her camera man. "Something big is going on here and-"
"Raven!" Dexter yelled, dropping the mirror pad, ("Hey!" whined Blondie) "Don't!"
Blondie swiftly recovered the fallen mirror pad and pointed it to where Raven was standing.
"Oh my. Oh no, oh no! Everything is NOT just right, not at all!" Blondie whispered, horrified.
Raven held a dark flame in her left hand, her right holding an unconscious headmaster by his collar. "I'll DESTROY you!" her thunderous cry was heard, not just by all Ever After High students, but all of Ever After itself.
"Raven!" identical cries were exclaimed by Apple, Maddie, Cerise and many others.
"Raven! Don't. Put him down." A powerful voice said.
Raven turned towards the voice. "No! He deserves death. Dad, he- he..."
"I know," said the Good King. He raised his bloody hands, erecting gasps from the crowd. "I know," he repeated, voice cracking.
Raven dropped the headmaster, his head hitting the ground with a solid thud, and ran to her father, the flames disappearing as she hugged him. "M-Mom!"
"I know, I know, love." he murmured, hugging his daughter tight.
"And you! You-" she pulled back, looking heart broken and slightly afraid.
"I'm so sorry, Raven. I am so sorry," he cried, pulling her back to him, sobbing into her hair.
The pair fell to their knees, crying and comforting each other.
"Blondie looked into the mirror pad, blinking away her tears. "I-I don't know what happened, but I promise that..." her eyes slid past the giant, onto the opposite balcony. "I promise that.. oh my Ever After... Dexter. Dexter? DEXTER!"
"What!" Dexter snapped at Blondie, tearing his eyes off Raven. He frowned. "What are you pointing at... Oh my Grimm."
On the opposite balcony, laid Raven's decapitated body.
"But, but..." Dexter looked back and forth, not believing his eyes.
"This is wrong! Just fairy fairy wrong!" Blondie sobbed out. She lifted her mirror pad with shaking hands. "Th-that's it... I... I'm going to be sick." She then dropped her mirror pad.
"What's going on?!" Apple asked Briar, ignoring the panicking fairyteens.
"I- I don't know, but I'm scared to sleep and find out." Briar stated, her rich skin tone pale. "This is freaking me out. This is Ever After High! Not some nightmare-ish tale!" Briar turned her pink eyes to Apple. "Apple, I...I'm afraid."
To hear that Briar, one of the bravest people Apple knows! was afraid, really shook her. She gave Briar a small smile then said, "We'll be fine. I'm going to go find Raven, maybe she'll explain what's going on."
"I don't think-" but Briar never got to finish her sentence, because a giant pulse of black magic swept through the courtyard.
"I'll DESTROY YOU!"
"Raven!" Apple cried, looking up at the balcony. "I'm going to help her!" Apple stated, darting towards the castleteria doors.
Briar began to follow her friend before bile falls in front of her.
"Oh! Disgusting!" Briar looks above her, trying to identify where the foulness came from. "Blondie?" Oh hex! Blondie was shooting a mirror cast after Raven's legacy declaration. She quickly pulled out her phone, only to see that Blondie cut the show short. She quickly scrolled down the comments, absorbing as much as she could in her awaken state. Sleeping right now, even to gain more information, would be dangerous.
"Blondie!" she called up to her friend, "Come down here!"
Tiny brought Blondie and her cast down, Dexter rushing past the two princesses, saying something about a dead bird.
Briar watched him run towards the other balcony, away from Raven and Apple. "Blondie," she turns towards her journalist friend, "Whats going on?"
Blondie looked at her, face ashen and blue eyes watering. "Raven's head... it was cut off." She then stuffed her hand into her mouth, stopping more bile from rising and a sob from escaping.
Briar's last conscious thought was that someone caught her before she fell in Blondie's throw up.
Apple ran up the stairs, trying to get to the room before the crowd. "Oh Raven," she thought, "Please be okay..."
"She finally got to the doors, throwing them open to see a man with bloody hands holding her friend.
"Let her go!" Apple screamed.
Raven lifted her heard, looking at Apple with a dazed look on her face.
"Apple?" she whispered.
"I-it's okay, Raven." Apple said calmly, looking around for a weapon. "Just.. what happened?"
"My- my mom..." here, she and the man sobbed, and the strange man held her closer.
"Raven.. I don't think we should be talking about your... mother in front of this... bloody man..." Apple said through clenched teeth, grabbing onto an umbrella and sneaking closer to raven and the ... red man.
"That's not blood, Apple convinced herself. It's just candy apple... sauce. Stuff. Whatever. Yeah, candy.
"Apple!" Raven stood, wiping the tears away, "That bloody man is my- what is the umbrella for?"
"RAVEN, MOVE!" Apple pushed her friend away, raised the umbrella and was just about to cut off his head- at least give the crazy candy man a good concussion- when Raven yelled, "THAT'S MY FATHER!"
"Oh." Apple dropped the umbrella, did a quick curtsy and ran behind Raven. "Nice to meet you!" She squeaked out.
A/N: Imma leave it at that. Sorry for being such a procrastinator!
Also, I hope this time it shows up properly; I have no idea why there was so much code... Hope you enjoyed it, and weren't scarred too badly. I tone down the Queen of Heart's vibe, so no bloody description.
...Yeah, that wasn't funny... sorry.
