The School Protector

"Read all about it!" came Blondie's voice through the microphone as the projection screen closed. Everyone had heard about the cloaked figure from Apple, whom wanted to meet her saviour. Raven picked up her phone, and went on Blondie's website. There was a mysterious person whom was obviously male on the cover, and over the picture, it said, 'Ever After Protector'. Raven rolled her eyes at another scheme from Blondie to exploit someone's private life. Her mind wandered back to late last night, perhaps earlier this morning.

The shadow figure appeared again, blocking the door. Raven tried as she could to dispel it once again, but it was in the darkness. The darkness made it stronger, she observed. She waved her candle a bit, not wanting to accidentally place the rows of books or the book in her hand on fire. There was an ear piercing scream, before the shadow vanished, then silence once again.

Raven had been meaning to talk to Brier after the book hinted that the witch was obviously the one from her story. Brier sat in the web cafe, where she was asked to meet up with Raven. Brier was texting, and for a few minutes, she didn't acknowledge her presence. Raven smiled at the belated gesture of hello and sat down across the table.

"Hey Raven, what's is this about. You sounded urgent on the phone." Brier said.

"Yeah, I am. What was the name of the witch in your story?" Raven asked.

"Maleficent, why? is her daughter attending the school?" Brier wondered.

Raven shrugged honestly, saying that she wasn't too sure herself. The two spent some time talking about random things. Apple entered, and sat next to Brier. She smiled at Raven, asking what the two were up to.

"Just talking." Raven said simply.

"We heard about the mysterious person who saved you." Brier said.

"Yeah, she could use magic just like you, Raven." Apple said.

Raven's eyes went wide at the statement. Another magic user that she hadn't met was here. Perhaps she was the 'other' witch that The Oracle was talking about. This mysterious person could very well be the daughter of Maleficent, and the one who will help create a future for the rebels.

"Where did you meet her?" Raven asked, wanting to know more.

"By the potion lab, the broken potion cabinet outside nearly fell on top of me." Apple said, somehow smiling at the fact that she nearly died. "The girl mimicked my voice and vanished without a trace. She is such a mystery."

Later that day, the sun was just about setting when Apple and Raven decided to consult Headmaster Grimm on the matter. They stopped when they heard yelling. Cautiously, they listened, not wanting to be caught.

"You are supposed to be evil, not help this...foolish rebellion." they heard Milton Grimm say.

"I am not. It would just be foolish to have 'the fairest maiden of them all' squished because of your incapability to run a functional school. You don't want a law suit do you, daddy." she said, spitting the last word out like she hated the thought of it.

'Daddy?' Raven mouthed to Apple.

Someone began walking towards the door. They opened the door and gasped at Apple and Raven. Her facial feature darkened a bit before returning to the stoic expression she wore. Apple squealed happily.

"Your the one that helped me!" she said rather loudly.

The girl surely did have red hair. Her skin was truly pale and blemish free, and she had freckles that was only visible when you were close to her. Her eyes were grey, and were empty and void of emotion. The headmaster came to the door, narrowing his eyes at Raven a bit, not liking the idea of her rebellion.

"Are you the daughter of Maleficent?" Raven asked.

"What's it to you?" the cloaked girl asked, pulling the hood of her cloak up.

"Can we talk, in private?" Raven asked with a small smile.

"Whatever."

A/N: Hey people. This is really important. I can't figure out a name for the daughter of Milton Grimm and Maleficent. It is starting to grate on my nerves. Until someone gives me a name, I am not going to be able to update, so please give me a few ideas. Also, please review. All flames accepted.
