"Happy birthday, Teague!" His best friend and fiancee, Revanna announced.
"Ugh why are you so loud?" Teague teased.
"So, Teague...have you thought about my offer?" Revanna asked.
"Well it sucks you're moving to Wonderland. But...I can't go with you." Teague pouted.
Revanna signed. "That's okay. But what about the engagement?"
"Well there's no use keeping it now." Teague answered.
"I didn't think so." Revanna agreed.
The next day, it was all over the news. A war had begun between the two countries. Maeve barged into Teague's room.
"Please don't tell me it's true!" Maeve sobbed.
"What?" Teague asked, genuine innocence on his face.
"You! You dumped Revanna just to cause a war!" Maeve shouted, hysterically.
Teague looked insulted. "No! I'd never! It just wasn't going to work."
Maeve was silent, the only sounds heard were the screams of soldiers out on the battlefield.
"Mom, please believe me." Teague walked towards her.
"I don't know who to believe anymore..."
The next day Maeve brought Teague to Revanna's castle.
"Queen of Hearts! I demand your assistance." Maeve shouted.
Revanna came downstairs in a silky red nightgown. "Maeve, hello. What do you need?" She said rubbing her eyes.
"I need you to split my son's heart. I need one good, one bad." Maeve grabbed Teague's arm harder so he couldn't run.
"No! Never!" Revanna shouted.
"I AM YOUR SUPERIOR. YOU SHALL DO AS I ASK OR I WILL KILL YOU." Maeve screeched.
Revanna walked over to Teague. "I won't do it."
"Revanna, if you don't she'll kill you. Please. I can't have you getting hurt for my mistakes." Teague pleaded.
"Teague..."
She slowly reached her hand towards his chest. Teague grabbed her hand and shoved it to his chest. Red gems began to form around his chest and Teague screamed out in pain as he was divided. Maeve walked over to Jared and Teague. Although they came from the same person, she could tell Jared was the good one, but also not the not she raised. Teague got up, clutching his chest.
"Well I've gotten what I needed." Maeve said, relaxed and shot a knife towards Revanna. She didn't have time to scream before falling to the floor, lifeless.
"This wasn't part of the deal!" Teague shouted.
"No, it wasn't. Pity." Maeve calmly stated. She dragged the two boys back to the castle. Teague could feel his heart grow darker with each step they took. He could no longer hear his conscience and all rationality left his mind. He wanted to hurt people, worse than they'd hurt him.
He decided he'd never trust anyone again.
He'd make those who crossed him pay.
And he would find a way to reunite himself. Then, and only then, could he possibly be powerful to take down Maeve and avenge Revanna.
And most of all, he swore to make those damn Grimms pay.
