GETTING TO the END

"Legacy Day is in fifty minutes and Evie isn't here, where do you think she is?" Ruby asked as she applied her make-up on.

"I have no idea, I am a bit scared, Evie would have been here," Raven said as she looked for clues of where Evie could be in the room. "Nothing, no notes, no messages."

"But her dress isn't here, so she must have come back for it," Vanilla said.

"Yeah but the thing is that when I came here an hour ago, it was here," Ruby replied.

"Please find her, use magic, anything, I just want my friend here, she can't miss Legacy Day."

"We'll try our best," Sam said.

"Hey guys, what did I miss," Evie said as she walked into the room, with her Legacy Day outfit on.

"Evie, we were worried something had happed, where were you?" Ruby asked.

"I was out thinking about stuff," Evie replied.

"Eve you forgot to come to the Lifairy," Raven said.

"Yeah sorry, but I will tomorrow."

"We don't have a tomorrow, could we do it now?"

"Sorry guys but I am kinda busy, I wrote a whole speech for what I would say after I sign," Evie said with a smile.

"A speech? Evie you aren't getting an award," Ruby laughed.

"Well I wanted to, got a problem?"

"Not really, is something wrong Evie?" Ruby asked.

"No, why?"

"'Cause you're acting differently."
"It's just that something happened, I don't know what, I came to my room and then I appeared in some chamber with a shadow then everything went black. When I got up, I was in my Legacy Day dress. I think it was my mum trying to help me but in a weird way, you know how my mum is like?"

"Yep," Ruby said. "So your mum had a creature of hers dress you up, that must be number one now of the crazy things the Evil Queen does, remind me to take the current number one off."

"Thanks you guys for thinking about me but don't you guys need to get into your outfits?"

"Yeah but Evie we need your help," Raven protested.

"I know, but can we do it tomorrow, I am a bit stressed out with Legacy Day."

"Evie-"

"Alright! I will try, after Legacy Day maybe, can you guys please leave now."

Donnie and the tales left the room and Raven looked at the closed door with a worried look.

"Raven, are you alright?" Maddie asked.

"My mum is different now didn't you guys notice? Do you think she is turning now?"

Everyone was silent; no one wanted to answer the question.

"I just wish I could help her, change her."

"Raven-" Kitty began.

"It's alright; we need to head back to the Lifairy, Vanilla and Copper might already found a spell book that has time travel in it."

"So everything was a success?" Headmaster Grimm asked.

Of course, we don't leave loose ends, everything is sorted, and Evelyn will sign the book, the shadow replied with a smile.

"That's good, if-"

By the way Grimm, why this way? I mean she would have signed the book

"I didn't know that for sure and besides she was far too nice and-"

So that's the reason, because she was 'too nice', Grimm that is the most pathetic excuse in ever after, there has to be another reason.

"There is no other reason."

Whatever, that's between your idiotic brain and your guilty heart.

With that the shadow vanished and Grimm was again alone in his office.

"Ahhh! Can't believe Legacy Day is in just ten minutes, it's totally gonna be epic!" Apple screamed as she added more bracelets to her arms.

"I know right, signing the book and living a Happily Ever After, a dream come true," Snowanna replied.

Just then someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Amor flew in, already in her Legacy Day outfit, a pink and white ball gown with butterflies and angel designs at the bottom, her wings were adorned with red, white and pink roses and her pink hair was done in a bun with a flower garland.

"Hey Amor, what's up?"

"Well Headmaster Grimm said all the soon-to-be fairy godmothers and fathers should go around and check on all the princesses, you know in case we happen to be yours, and I got you," Amor replied.

"So you're my Fairy Godmother?" Snowanna said. "I-"

"No, besides your story doesn't have one, I don't know why he said I have to come to you but Headmaster Grimm seems on edge, like something is eating him up."

"Why?"

"He seemed so agitated when he called the fairies in and he even asked Rex to go see Ruby who is not a princess."

"Maybe it's just the stress," Apple said.

"Maybe, but anyways, how are you guys doing?" Amor asked.

"I just need to get my crown on... Hex no, my crown, I left it at the Lifairy, it could be at the Lost and Crowned by now, and Legacy Day is-"

"Don't worry Snowanna, here to help, maybe Headmaster Grimm was right to assign me to you for Legacy Day, how does this crown look like?"

"Well it's a huge golden crown with diamonds and rubies, in the centre are garnets shaped like apples," Snowanna described.

"One crown coming up," Amor flew out of the room and straight to the Lost and Crowned.

Inside were tons of lost things, from toys to books to jewellery.

"Only magic can help," Amor said to herself.

She was about to cast a spell then suddenly the candle-lights in the room went off, and darkness engulfed her and all the things.

"Really?" Amor asked.

That's when the cold kicked in, the air around started to get colder and colder, Amor began to shiver and then that's when she heard a noise, like someone banging on the wall.

"Hello, is someone there?" Amor asked.

The banging continued, getting louder and louder.

"If someone is there, say something, are you hurt?"

And just like that the banging stopped and a voice answered.

Hello there

"Hello, do you need help, if only I could see," Amor said and then she snapped her fingers and the lights came back on.

On the wall was her shadow, and nine others, she looked behind her, there was no one here, that's when she got the shock of her life, the shadows began to speak.

Amor screamed and rushed out of the room and flew back to Snowanna's room.

"Amor! What happened? You look like you have seen a ghost!" Apple said.

"I think I may have, I saw some things at the Lost and Crowned...and banging..."

"Calm down."

"I really can't, I'm sorry Snowanna but I couldn't find your crown, I wasn't willing to stay there."

"Don't worry, Dashing found my crown and gave it to me."

"So what did you see exactly?"

"Shadows, lots of them."

A ball appeared in the courtyard of Ever After High and the tales from the future came out of it.

"Is this the right time?" Daniel asked.

"Definitely," Serena said. "I made sure it was."

"So now all we have to do is find them," Darling said.

"I think it would be easy, their Legacy Day has started," May said as she pointed to the podium with Headmaster Grimm standing there and fairytales were seated.
