In The Darkest Times

Evie knocked on Headmaster Grimm's door, he was hexpecting her.

"Come in Ms. Queen," he said with his always monotone voice.

That's how he talked to the future villains in the school, especially her since she was the next Evil Queen. Evie didn't get why she was destined to be the most hated one of all, the Big Bad Wolf ate Red Riding Hood ad her Grandma, sure people are scared of him but not to the degree as the Evil Queen. The Dark Fairy tried to kill Sleeping Beauty, the Stepmother and Step-sisters forced Cinderella to be a slave for most of her young life, even Goldilocks who in fact broke into a house that wasn't hers was getting better treatment only Evie could imagine in her dreams. Sure the Evil Queen tried to kill the Fairest of Them All but didn't the Dark Fairy try to do the same with Sleeping Beauty? What was so different was it because Snow White was the most loved in the entire kingdom? But without the Evil Queen, who would have known of Snow White's existence? No one, without the Evil Queen, Snow White wouldn't even have a Happily Ever After so why was the Evil Queen condemned instead of praised for the work, sure not the first Evil Queen but the others who had to follow her story, is wasn't their fault that they were born to the Queen Family, so why the hex did they have to suffer the consequences that were given to them?

"Ms. Queen? Are you alright?" Headmaster Grimm asked.

Evie snapped out of her mental rant and looked at the Headmaster, "Yes Headmaster Grimm."

"So you must know why I called you here, right?"

"Actually sir, I have no clue," Evie replied.

"As you know, today is Legacy Day and..."

"And what sir, I have no idea what this could possibly be about."

"Legacy Day, I want it to be as smooth as possible, no problems at all-"

"What sorts of problems sir, just because I am signing the book to be the next Evil Queen doesn't mean I am going to mess things up especially not for Snowanna."

"Ms. Queen, manners!"

"Sorry sir but you are trying to imply that just because I am going to be the next Evil Queen I am going to cause trouble, I mean I am not the only villain signing, Noir, Lupus, Vi-"

"Enough of your attitude, Ms. Queen, I called you for a reason because you are destined to be the wickedest of them all, if you behave the rest of them will also."

"That is totally not true Headmaster and you of all people know it-"

"MS. QUEEN! I will not tolerate your nonsense any further."

"Nonsense! Headmaster it is obvious that you appreciate the heroes in this school especially Snowanna more than the rest. You just can't accept that I am as important as Snowanna and it eats you to know that you have to treat me with the same respect!"

"Ms. Queen-"

"Don't Ms. Queen me, you hate me and you know it, why, I don't even know, it's not as if you are the one who is going to bite the apple, Snowanna is and she treats me more of a person than you do."

"Get out of my office NOW!" Headmaster Grimm shouted.

"Fine, but you know I ma telling the truth," Evie said and teleported out of the room and to her room.

Her anger had caused her to forget about meeting Raven and the rest at the Lifairy, all she did was sit on her bed and cry.

"Where is she?" Noir asked. "I thought you said Evie would be here by now?"

"She will, she said she will, she is probably still talking to Headmaster Grimm," Raven replied.

"Well if she doesn't come I think we should begin soon," Willow said.

"I agree with the green girl," Noir replied.

"It's Willow."

"What if she forgot?" Blondie asked.

"She wouldn't, she promised," Raven explained.

Suddenly a fairy popped into the room and smiled, "Headmaster Grimm wants all the Legacies signing today to meet him in the Fairy Fields now."

"Okay we need to go now," Noir said.

"But we need that spell," Donnie replied.

"Yeah I know, but here's the thing, I am not as powerful as Evie so when we meet her at the Fairy Fields we can talk to her."

"I guess," Duchess said.

"What if she isn't there?" Briar asked.

"She will be," Raven said.

"Now tales, you are all probably wondering why I have called you all here, as you well know, the Legacy Day Ceremony will commence in two hours and I just want to congratulate you all for making it this far. Signing the Storybook of Legends is an important part of your journeys to be who were born to be," Headmaster Grimm began.

"Spare me the speech," Lupus whispered to Ruby.

"Have you seen Evie anyway?" Ruby asked.

"No, the last time I saw her she was talking to her twin."

"You mean the Raven girl?"

"Yeah her and then she went to Grimm's office."

"I'm worried, even though she is destined to be evil, she would never miss anything to do with Legacy Day."

"She will be here, it's Evie, maybe she went to the Village, but when she gets back to school, the fairies will tell her."

"I hope so."

Ashley sighed as Headmaster Grimm continued his long (and totally unneeded) speech, she looked to her right and her eyes widened when she saw Hopper looking at her, she quickly looked away and then looked back, he wasn't staring anymore.

"I'm such an idiot, how could I have let him go," she whispered to herself.

"What?" Snowanna asked.

"Oh, just thinking you know-"

"About Hopper, I saw you two staring at each other."

"Technically he was staring at me and then I stared and then looked away."

"But you turned again to see if he was looking?"

"Yeah 'cause it's creepy, wanted to see if he stopped."

"Ash, you still care for him don't you?"

"What, no, today is Legacy Day I can't risk having feelings for someone out of my story."

"Yeah that doesn't mean you guys still can't be friends."

Ashley looked at her, "Really, Snow? Do you think two people who used to date can just be friends?"

"Yeah, my sister and her boyfriend are still friends."

"Only because it's convenient for him, I mean he still has the prestige, he is still in a relationship whether romantic or not with a White."

"Ash-"

"Snow, you haven't gone out with anyone yet, so you really don't know how this works. I get what you are trying to do, and as your best friend I appreciate it, but let's concentrate on Legacy Day now."

"I guess."

"That's why I love you."

Evie had been in her bedroom one minute and the next she was in a dark chamber with cobwebs.

"Where the hex am I?" she asked no one in particular.

Hello there, came a voice.

"Who is that?"

Don't worry I don't bite

"Who are you? Show yourself? Are you the reason I am here?"

Yes I just wanted to talk

"Well I don't."

Evie tried to teleport out of the room but she couldn't, "Why can't I teleport?"

You are in a special room, all magic used by tangible things are fails to work here

Evie tried again, she thought of spells, teleportation, phasing, mirror warping, hex bolts, nothing worked, and she started to get scared. "What do you want from me?"

I just want to talk

"At least show me your face, who are you?"

The lights in the chamber flickered on and Evie looked around, she couldn't see anyone.

"Where are you?"

Evie saw a black shadow moving towards her, and then it looked at her and smiled.

Here I am!

It released a blast that knocked Evie out, the future Evil Queen laid on the floor, eyes closed and future uncertain.

Headmaster Grimm had finished his speech in the fields and when he entered his office, a shadow stood in front of him with a sinister smile.

"Did you do it?"

It nodded.

I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE YOU AND YOUR IMAGINATION TO COM UP WITH IDEAS TO WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENS TO EVIE
