Evil Fruit

Headmaster Grimm teleported back to his office with the book.

"What took you so long?" Grimm turned to see the Evil Queen (in the mirror) sitting under a hairdryer, a black robe, and black bunny slippers on reading a magazine titled ' Evil Crowns Monthly'.

"I had a run in with Giles." Headmaster Grimm answered curtly.

The Evil Queen looked up from her magazine and smirked.

"You mean the brother you trapped under the school, cursed to speak only riddlish, and has been missing since last year? Didn't know you had it in you, Grimmy." The Evil Queen grinned as she shut her magazine close.

"Don't call me 'Grimmy', and it was for his own good." Headmaster Grimm explained.

"Was it really for his own good, or was it for your own good so you wouldn't have to give up your power over everyone?" The Evil Queen asked in an innocent voice.

Grimm's hands tightened into a fist as his eyebrows furrowed.

"Face it Grimm you love everyone listening to you and only you. Sure Ever After has kings, queens, pharaohs, rulers, and so on, but you make the rules for them, you lead them, you dictate them." The Evil Queen finished.

"BE QUIET!" Headmaster Grimm shouted. "Either help me get your rebellious daughter on the wrong path or this alliance is over."

The Evil Queen was quiet. She hated to admit it but she needed 'Uncle Grimmy'.

"Okay, your the boss." The Evil Queen said as she got from under the hairdryer and transformed into her usual attire.

"Turn to page 666- that's the spell we need." The Evil Queen instructed Grimm as he opened the book.

Grimm read the page at first he was excited then his facial expression turned to disbelief.

"This is the spell?" Headmaster Grimm shoved the book so it was close enough so the Evil Queen to see, but not enough to touch the mirror. "I might as well read a spell textbook for kindergarteners."

"Trust me this spell will work, unless you have any better ideas." The Evil Queen answered as she put her hands on her hips.

"Fine, this better work." Headmaster Grimm huffed as he continued to read the spell.

"Excellent!" The Evil Queen clasped her hands together. "The first ingredient we need is an apple."

Morning

The briar thorn walls was shrinking as the sun began to rise, all the king's horses and men were heading in after guarding the school all night, and many were starting to wake up.

Alarm clocks, song birds, and annoying ringtones from mirrorphones were waking the students up. And a certain princess was singing.

"La la la la!" Apple was singing around her side of the dorm room while her songbirds were helping her pick her outfit for the day.

*GROAN*

Raven groaned as she clutched her stuffed rabbit, Prince Bun Bun, close to her chest as tried to get a few more minutes of sleep.

"Raven, Raven, Raven-" Apple repeated her roommates name as she tapped Raven's shoulder.

"What, Apple?" Raven turned to face her roommate.

"I just wanted to know which heels will go with my outfit- this one or this one?" Apple held a pair of gold heels with a white ribbon on the backs in her left hand and in her right hand she had a pair of white heels with little apple prints on them.

"Yes!" Raven said bluntly as she pulled the covers over her head.

"Raven!" Apple screeched as she pulled the covers off Raven revealing she was wearing a purple hoodie and some black pajama shorts with lilac feather prints on them.

"Fine, the right, the right!" Raven shouted as she curled herself into a ball.

"Thanks, roomie!" Apple thanked Raven as she skipped to her side of the room allowing Raven to sleep for two more minutes.

Raven let out a groan as she turned her alarm off her mirrorphone.

Raven went to her vanity to see what she would wear today. She pulled out a t-shirt Cedar made for her after Legacy Day. The t-shirt was purple with the Rebel symbol on it a heart with wings emroided on it with the saying 'Not Your Mamma's Fairytale', a pair of black jeans, and her favorite black boots.

After, getting dress Raven grabbed her shower caddy with her toothbrush, toothpaste, and face towel and headed to the girls bathroom then breakfast.

Cafeteria

The cafeteria was packed with students and staff ready for breakfast. The scents of sizzling bacon, fried hash browns, vegan omelets, fresh muffins, and lumpy porridge filled the air, but sadly no one was able to taste the treats. Many stood in a very long line, few were at their favorite tables with friends, and a few late comers were arriving.

"What's taking so long?" A student questioned.

"I'm hungry now!" Another student complained.

"Do we have to wait until lunch to eat?" Someone sarcasticly questioned.

"Settle down, everyone." Headmaster Grimm made his way into the cafeteria.

"Mind telling us all why this couldn't be done after breakfast?" Baba Yaga asked Grimm with her arms crossed.

"Yeah Grimm, this is cutting into my bacon breakfast time!" growled with his teeth showing and droll dripping out.

"Don't worry I'll explain everything." Headmaster Grimm stated as a large troll placed a podium in front of the headmaster.

"Students and staff of Ever After High-" Headmaster Grimm began. " We pride ourselves in giving you a proper education, stability, and growing environment: despite the 'difficulties' of this year."

Headmaster Grimm turned to glare at Raven siting with her friends.

"What?" Raven exclaimed.

"But I have neglected you in the nourishment department." Headmaster Grimm continued unaware of Hagatha and the rest of the cafeteria staff glaring at him. " So I wish to correct these wrongs."

"You're firing Hagatha and letting us have pizza parties every Friday!" Sparrow shouted.

This caused the whole cafeteria to cheer.

"What-no!" Headmaster Grimm shouted.

"Aw!" Everyone groaned and sparrow was hit in the face with a spoonful of porridge.

"Starting today we will be eating healthier with each serving of food each student gets a healthy serving of apples ." Headmaster Grimm pulled out a shiny, bright, juicy red apple.

The sight of the apple almost blinded everyone in the room and their was an strange aura that made anyone want to sink their teeth into it.

"Also, starting at lunch we're starting meatless Mondays. That is all." Headmaster Grimm said leaving the podium and placing the apple with the rest of the apples.

"Yes! He read our pamplets!" Rosabelle and Ashylnn cheered as they cupped their hands together.

"Finally, more vegan options." Hunter added.

"NOOOO!" Cerise howled as she banged her head on the table. "Like Mondays aren't miserable already!"

Headmaster Grimm walked out of the cafeteria, once out of sight he backed up against the corner and peered in to see the students in line picking the apples to go with their breakfast, especially Raven.

"I can't believe after breakfast it'll be officially meatless Monday." Cerise complained as she slumped over Maddie.

"Not gonna lie, I don't think we should've waited so long to be served." Cedar said grabbing her tray.

"I wish he gave his big announcement during my general villainy class I have a test this morning." Raven said as grabbed her tray.

Once he was sure the coast was clear he pulled out a mini mirror that resembled the one the Evil Queen was in.

"What?" The Evil Queen said bluntly as she appeared.

"Just wanted you to witness my brilliance as our plan succeeds." He turned the mirror to view the apple line. " When Raven picks the apple and takes a bite of it she'll turn evil and fulfill her destiny."

"There's just one problem with your plan, Grimmy." The Evil Queen said bluntly as she was filing her long nails.

"What could possibly be wrong with my plan?" Grimm glared daggers at the witch in the mirror.

"How do you know Raven will even pick our apple, someone else may accidently eat it. Like her." The Evil Queen grinned ear to ear which rivaled the Cheshire Cat's smile.

The color drained from Grimm's face as he realized his blunder and Apple White was about reach for the apple that Headmaster Grimm placed.

"Oh, this apple looks so delicious." Apple said as she grabbed the apple.

"No!" Headmaster Grimm howled as he ran across the cafeteria and snatched the apple off of Apple's tray.

"Um, Headmaster Grimm?" Apple questioned.

Grimm soon realized everyone in the cafeteria was staring at him.

"Um... There's a bruise on this apple." Headmaster Grimm said inspecting the apple. "Hagatha, I want you to inspect all apples for bruises and any other blemishes before handing them to the students, that's an order!"

Hagatha gave an annoyed growl.

"Carry on." Headmaster Grimm said as he exited the cafeteria.

Back outside the cafeteria

"HAHAHAH!" The Evil Queen laughed. "I can't believe you almost poisoned the future Snow White! HAHHAHAH!"

"Don't remind me." Headmaster Grimm hissed.

"Well, that failed." The Evi Queen said between giggles.

"No, it didn't." Headmaster Grimm hissed. "I'll just try again during lunch."

Lunchtime

Raven was last in line for lunch as she grabbed her usual lunch items: princess and the pea-butter sandwich, fairyberry soda, garden salad, and a dark chocolate thronecake, the last thing she needed was the school required apple.

Headmaster Grimm watched as each student took the apples when he was sure it was Raven's turn he instructed one of the kitchen staff members to hand the fruit to Raven. Raven was handed the apple as she left to take her usual seat alone at the back cafeteria tables.

Headmaster Grimm fist bumped the air this was almost too easy. But- a certain dark fairy had other plans.

Faybelle swooped in and snatched Raven's apple.

"Give me back my apple, Faybelle!" Raven shouted.

"What'cha gonna do, Queen, use your good magic?" Faybelle said mockingly about to eat the apple.

"Faybelle Thorne!" Faybelle turned to see Headmaster Grimm as he snatched the apple out of her hand. "Detention."

"For what?" Faybelle shrieked.

"For taking Raven's apple." Headmaster Grimm answered. "Two weeks of cleaning after the pets"

"Seriously, just for taking an apple?!" Faybelle screeched in disbelief. "I've done worse!"

"Three weeks." Headmaster Grimm added as he walked away leaving Faybelle dumbfounded.

"And here's your apple, Miss Queen- what where'd she go?" Headmaster Grimm shouted.

"She left to eat her lunch outside to get away from all this drama." The littlest pig answered. " Can I have that apple?"

"No." Headmaster Grimm answered.

About an hour before dinner

"So Faybelle prevented Raven from eating the apple?" The Evil Queen questioned.

"For the hundredth time, yes!" Headmaster Grimm rubbed his temples preventing a headache from coming.

"Next time I see that fairy I'm giving her a proper scolding (and maybe rip her wings off)." The Evil Queen said to herself.

"What was that?" Headmaster Grimm questioned.

"I said darn." The Evil Queen lied. "So what are you going to do now?"

"Don't worry this next plan is foolproof!" Headmaster Grimm exclaimed.

"What? You're gonna wear a hairnet and apron and pass out the apples until my daughters in line and you give her the one we poisoned?" The Evil Queen said sarcastically.

Headmaster Grimm was left speechless.

The Evil Queen was first silent then burst out laughing.

"OH MY GO-"

Dinnertime

"Tonight's dinner is vegan sausage casserole, cauliflower pizza, grilled tofu tacos, or squash spaghetti with meatless balls." Raven read the dinner menu above her as she grabbed her tray.

"I 'm going with the spaghetti." Cedar answered grabbing the plate. "During spring break my grandfather and I were experimenting with pasta dishes."

"I literally have no idea how I survived this long without meat." Cerise groaned as she grabbed the plate of tacos.

"Hey, maybe if you pour enough BBQ, hot sauce, and ketchup you maybe able to fool yourself that it's real meat." Maddie said as she grabbed a plate of casserole.

"That might work." Cerise grinned as she grabbed many packets of sauces.

"Good evening, ladies." The girls turned to see Headmaster Grimm in a hairnet and a frilly apron.

The girls did their best to hide their snickering at the sight of their headmaster.

"Headmaster Grimm, what are you doing?" Cedar asked hiding her laughter.

"I've decided I'll be in charge of delivering the apples to make sure no student has a damaged apple." Headmaster Grimm answered. "Unlike some people"

Hagatha glared at Grimm, but continued to serve the vegan/vegetarian food.

"Here's an apple for you: Cedar, Cerise, Maddie,-" Headmaster Grimm handed each girl an apple. " and Raven, I want you to have this one."

Headmaster Grimm placed the apple gently on Raven's tray.

"I hope you all enjoy your dinner." Headmaster Grimm said sinisterly.

"Um, thanks?" Raven said a little creeped out.

Headmaster Grimm watched as the girls went to their usual table for dinner knowing his plan would be successful.

" Enjoy your little rebellion , for it'll be the last one Ever After will ever see."

"Hey, are you done monologuing or can I get some chow?" Headmaster Grimm turned to see Sparrow Hood and many other students in line waiting for their food.

Later

It was mostly quiet in the cafeteria as the students and staff were finishing their dinner.

Headmaster Grimm watched from a distance that Raven was about to take a bite from the apple until a fight between Sparrow and Hunter broke out.

"Vegetable lover!" Sparrow shouted as he threw a plate covered high in condiments at Hunter.

" Meat lover!" Hunter threw a plate of vegan food at Sparrow.

"Food Fight!"

Soon everyone was throwing food left and right. No one was safe as the vegan meals covered faces, clothes, and hair. The cafeteria was a battlefield as food smeared the walls, floors, and windows.

Headmaster Grimm was about to stop the food fight, until he noticed Raven with the apple in hand.

"NO!" Headmaster Grimm shouted as Raven was about to throw the apple as he snatched it out of her hand.

"Unacceptable!" Headmaster Grimm screeched at the top of his lungs.

Everyone froze in place.

"I want this entire cafeteria cleaned up by the time I get back or detention for everyone!" Headmaster Grimm shouted.

The cafeteria was full of groans as everyone grabbed mops, dustpans, and brooms and started to clean up the Meatless Monday Massacre.

Headmaster Grimm left the cafeteria gripping the apple in his hand scowling as another brilliant plan failed.

An Hour Later

"Well, I've inspected this place from top-to-bottom and I can say you did a decant job; hopefully you all learned your lesson and this will not happen again. Now off to bed everyone." Headmaster Grimm announced.

Headmaster Grimm still had the scowl on his face.

"Don't frown so much Grimmy, you'll just add more wrinkles to your face." The Evil Queen said while eating some pork dumplings.

"Well if you're so smart why don't you poison your daughter!" Headmaster Grimm shouted.

"Okay." The Evil Queen said popping the last dumpling in her mouth.

"What?" Headmaster Grim said under his breath.

"Look behind the bushes." The Evil Queen instructed Grimm.

Headmaster Grimm peered into the bushes to see Maddie and Raven having a mini tea party.

"Those two are always having tea parties." Headmaster Grimm said.

"But look above." The Evil Queen instructed again.

AS he looked up Grimm saw they were under an apple tree.

"So?" Headmaster Grimm questioned.

"Ugh!" The Evil Queen moaned. "Climb the apple tree, drop the apple near Raven, and she'll eat it."

"But what if Madeline eats it?" Headmaster Grimm questioned.

"Doubt it." Evil Queen pointed back at the girls.

Raven was unladylike stuffing her face with cream puffs and cucumber sandwiches while Maddie continued to drink her tea... out of the teapot.

Headmaster Grimm was determined this time he would not fail again. He hide under the many bushes until he reached the apple tree, climbed up it until he was at the top but was still unseen by the two girls. Once he was sure the apple would fall near Raven he dropped the apple.

*SPLASH*

The apple landed in Raven's teacup.

"Hey, that's good luck!" Maddie squealed.

"Really?" Raven questioned.

"In Wonderland it is." Maddie pointed out.

"Well, I'm still pretty hungry. Maybe it is luck." Raven said until she took a bite out of the apple.

As Raven took a bite out of the apple a bitter taste hit her tounge, the juices started to burn as they ran down her chin, and Raven felt as though she was choking.

* . *

Raven spat out pieces of the apple as she grabbed onto her throat and clutched her stomach as her knees hit the ground.

"Raven!" Maddie jumped from her chair and clutched her friend.

Earl Grey grabbed a tea cup filled with lemon tea and with all his might tugged it toward the girls. Maddie noticed and pulled the cup to Raven's lips. Despite how hot it was Raven chugged the tea; the hot liquid and sweet taste of the lemon and honey expelled the apple chunks and bitter taste.

"Raven, are you okay?" Maddie wrapped her arms tighter around her friend.

"Yeah, thanks Maddie." Raven answered as she slowly got up. " That must've been a bad apple."

"Come on, I'm taking you into the nurse's office." Maddie said leading her friend back towards the school.

"What was that?" Headmaster Grimm shouted at the Evil Queen. "Were you trying to kill your own daughter?"

The Evil Queen glared at Grimm if she wasn't in Mirror Prison she would slap the man across the face and do it again!

" 1. Don't ever accuse me of hurting my own daughter." The Evil Queen hissed "2. That's part of the spell. 3. She'll get used to it the more apples she eats."

"How many does she need to eat?" Headmaster Grimm questioned.

"Not too many. Just makes sure she eats the poisoned ones and her evil destiny is as good as ours." The Evil Queen answered.

Grimm just nodded and walked away.

Unaware to everybody the half eaten apple began to bubble black juice until it sunk under the ground leaving a patch of dead earth and apple seeds.

Chapter two is good and done! So what did you all think? Leave a comment and tell me what you think will happen next.
