Midpoint 2.0
After breakfast Faybelle made her way to General Villiany class, it appeared she was the first one there; lucky her! Faybellle took her seat, as she took out her textbook, glitter pen, and notebook. Normally she sat in the front row where everyone could see her (even if it was the back of her head), but today she would sit in the back row where Ramona and Raven would sit.
"Your sitting in my seat!" Faybelle turned to see a growling Ramona.
"Oh, this is your seat? Here you go fellow villainess." Faybelle fluttered out of the seat.
"Whattda ya want, Faybelle?" Ramona crossed her arms over her chest.
"What moi, need something?" Faybelle gave a mock gasp.
"Oh please, I know your tactics by now." Ramona huffed twirling a pencil in her hand. " You want something I got, so spill, or else."
"Ramona cracked the pencil in her hand, as Faybelle gulped.
"I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you following your story." Faybelle began as Ramona raised an eyebrow. " I mean there are only a few of us true bad guys left at this school since everyone's going soft."
Ramona did nod at that statement.
"I mean we villains need to do our duty for our family legacies . Unless-" Faybelle paused.
"Unless what?" Ramona questioned.
"Unless you want Cerise to play your role. Since she is her father's daughter." Faybelle finished with a smirk.
Faybelle watched as the color drained from Ramona's face, her ears twisted back, and her eyes shocked.
"How did you-" Ramona spoke below a whisper.
"What can I say? Us Dark Fairies know everything." Without a second glance Faybelle fluttered to her normal spot.
A Few Moments Later
" Remember pee-ons, this will be on your final exam in three weeks!" Mr. Badwolf pointed at the board.
Everyone wrote down the notes as quickly as they could before Mr. Badwolf could erase them.
Ramona was still trying to figure out how the hell Faybelle found out about Cerise's secret. She wasn't close to the girl ( actual no one was), and she knew Faybelle was very sneaky, but Cerise was sneakier. She wouldn't be caught so easily especially by Faybelle, she'd had to found out another way.
*RING. RING*
"Alright, get out, and don't forget your final report is due next Friday." Mr. Badwolf commanded.
Everyone left the classroom as they headed to their second classes, leaving Ramona and her uncle alone.
"Uncle Breaker?" Ramona asked.
"Yes, Ramona?" Mr. Badwolf said in a polite tone.
"Have you spoken with Cerise recently?" Ramona asked.
" Not really." Mr. Badwolf answered in a sad tone. "Since it's almost the end of the school year I've been swamped grading papers and students crying to me for extra credit. Why?"
Ramona took a deep breath and answered."Faybelle knows that Cerise is your daughter."
*CRASH*
Mr. Badwolf dropped his favorite mug that read 'World's Baddest Dad' after what he heard.
"WHAT?!" Mr. Badwolf shouted. "What did she tell you?"
"At first I thought she wanted something from me, than she said something about Cerise being the next Big Bad Wolf." Ramona panicked as she clutched her hair.
Mr. Badwolf ran a paw through his fur with a million thoughts running through his head.
" Did she tell you how she found out about Cerise being my daughter?" Mr. Badwolf questioned.
"No!" Ramona shook her head.
" Besides you the only other people who know are Maddie and Raven." Mr. Badwolf stated.
"As mad as Maddie is I doubt she'd do it on purpose, so maybe Raven?" Ramona gave her two cents.
"Doubt it." Mr. Badwolf answered bluntly.
*RING. RING*
"We'll talk about this later." Mr. Badwolf said as he heard the school bell ring. "I'll give you a pass."
"Forget about it, I'll just skip second period." Ramona said.
"That a girl; tell your dad I said 'hi' for me." Mr. Badwolf said.
Ramona gave him a thumbs up and transformed into her wolf form and dashed out.
Mr. Badwolf didn't want to believe Raven told Faybelle about Cerise's family secret. Despite her causing this Rebel movement and being good , she actual but effort in her classwork, plus she was Cerise's friend. Recently, her classwork has turned darker than usual. Sure she would answer the questions correctly, but she would add a sinister twist to them. Many of her answers sent shivers down her classmates' spines, even Mr. Badwolf felt uncomfortable with the young girl's behavior. Mr. Badwolf had been taken note of Raven's transformation both in class and in appearance. She'd seem to be losing more weight recently. He would have a word with Baba Yaga later.
Princessology
The bell for second period rang as many princesses left Princessology- rubbing their cheeks.
"And remember, ladies, smiles are prettier than frowns." The White Queen reminded the girls as she slammed the door.
"I hate that you tricked me to take Princessology." Poppy said rubbing her cheeks.
"You tell me that ever class." Holly replied rubbing her cheeks.
"Well it's true!" Poppy countered back.
The O'Hair twins walked into the girls bathroom unaware a certain Fairy followed behind.
Poppy was applying her lipstick while Holly was applying her mascara when Faybelle walked by.
"Hey, girls." Faybelle greeted spooking the twins. " Holly, my favorite fanfic writer, I have this idea for a story, but I just don't know if it sounds good."
"What's your story about?" Holly asked interested to hear the story..
"Well-" Faybelle began. "It's about a princess who isn't the real queen."
"Sounds interesting!" Holly acknowledged.
"The story begins with twin princess who went their whole lives knowing their story." Faybelle stated.
" Go on." Holly said.
"Until one day the younger twin found out by the royal nanny was meant to be queen." After that statement Poppy smeared her lipstick on her face.
Faybelle grinned at her reaction and continued. "Neither wanted to give up their story so they kept quiet about it. Than one day their magic switched and had to do the whole twin switcharoo until things went back to normal."
Both Poppy and Holly nervously glanced at each other as Faybelle continued the tale.
"But a beautiful fairy - let's make her a dark fairy- found out the twin princesses secret." Faybelle stated.
The twins gulped!
"And - that's all I got for now." Faybelle concluded.
"Wow, that was quite a story, Faybelle." Poppy tried to force a smile on her lipstick stained face.
"V-very - gulp - i-interesting." Holly stuttered.
"Yeah, and this is how it'll end : the Dark Fairy reveals the twins secret to everyone, the real heir becomes queen and the second twin won't know what to do with herself." Faybelle smiled evilly at the nervous twins.
"Geez what's up with you two it's just a story?" Faybelle stated. "It's not real or anything."
That didn't stop the twins from nervously glancing at each other.
"Later girls, oh you got lipstick all over your face." With that Faybelle was out of the bathroom.
"WHO TOLD HER?"
Both O'Hair twins were in a panic as they tugged on their hair.
"There's no way what Faybelle said was a coincidence; she knows!" Holly said as she paced around the bathroom.
"How? We were so careful!" Poppy clutched her head tears threatened to fall.
Holly wrapped her arms around her (big) sister into a tight hug.
"For now she hasn't told anyone, so it's best not to get on her bad side." Holly answered.
"This is Faybelle we're talking about, Holly, all her sides are bad." Poppy stated.
Second Period
Swim Class was canceled due to the water mysteriously disappearing the students were going to watch a movie about swimming. The girls had finished changing ready to exit to watch the film.
Faybelle knew it would be tough getting Cedar alone. She was always near Maddie, Raven, and - wait! where's Cerise? She normal had gym class with them on Mondays. Maybe, she could use this as an advantage.
The girls picked the first bleacher to sit on while coach Gingerbreadman and Dexter were setting up the film.
"How much you wanna bet the projector catches on fire and burns the gym to the ground." Raven asked jokingly.
"Why would the gym catch on fire too?" Cedar asked surprised by her friend's dark thoughts.
"No reason." Raven answered as she wrapped her cloak of infinite darkness around herself.
"Hey, Girls." Dexter greeted the trio.
"Hi, Dexter!" Maddie greeted.
"Hello, Dexter." Cedar greeted.
"Hey, Dex." Raven greeted.
"Uh- Raven-" Dexter cleared his throat. "- mind if I take this seat-"
"Move nerd!" Faybelle shoved Dexter and took the seat next to Raven.
"What the hel-heck, Faybelle?" Raven hissed.
"What can't a Fairy sit next to her gal pals?" Faybelle asked innocently.
"We're not friends. For crying out loud you having picture of Raven and Apple xed out like a stalker." Cedar blurted out, arms crossed, in a matter-of-fact tone.
It took Faybelle all the power in her not to blast Cedar.
"Speaking of gal pals, where's Cerise she usual has gym class with us today?" Faybelle asked.
"Where ever she is it's none of your business, Faybelle." Dexter stated.
"That's right." Raven agreed.
"She had a dentist appointment." Cedar blurted out.
Cedar quickly covered her mouth. Having a truth spell on you sometimes sucks.
"Figures. I mean what big teeth she has. Their almost as big as a wolf's." Faybelle stated.
"Teeth? Wolf?" Cedar questioned unsure of what Faybelle was getting at.
"And Have you guys noticed how big her eyes are?" Faybelle questioned.
"Their of normal size." Maddie stated as she crossed her arms.
"And we never saw her ears before-"
"GET LOST, FAYBELLE!" Raven shouted as the ground began to quack under them.
"Alright I'll go." Faybelle fluttered to another seat.
As the movie began to play Cedar shake in her place. She almost blurted out Cerise's secret out loud to Faybelle no less.
"It's okay she's gone." Raven wrapped an arm around Cedar.
"And you got us." Maddie wrapped another arm around Cedar.
Cedar started to feel warm inside, as long as her friends were near she was safe.
Tooth Fairy Dentistry
Cerise was currently in a dentist chair as a dentist had just finished flossing and spraying her teeth.
"Okay Cerise, now you can spit." The dentist told Cerise.
Cerise spat in the basin next to her.
"Excellent work as always. You sure do take care of your teeth." The dentist said pulling out a box full of lollipops. "And for that you deserve a treat. Pick your favorite."
"Thanks." Cerise picked a bright red cherry lollipop.
"Make sure to get your doctors note at the front office." The dentist said.
As Cerise walked out a chill went down her spine, her fist balled, and her eyes glowed gold.
"I feel as if someone is missing with my friends."
Hero Training
Darling was slaying today's lesson -literally- they were slaying practice dummies. Darling was dodging, blocking with her shield, and dashing through the obstacle course. With one last dash she made it to the finish line.
"Excellent work." Prof. Knight clapped his hands. "You almost beat Daring's record."
"Nice work, knight kid." Daring clasped Darling's back.
"Thanks." Darling said in a tough voice.
"Yeah, your a pro at this." Alister added.
"It's nothing really." Darling said about to collect her bag.
"Hey, I know this seems pretty embarrassing, but I never caught your name?" Alister asked.
'C& ?' Darling thought, nobody in class ever asked for her name even Prof. Knight.
"Ugh-K-Knightingly the Fifth?" Darling lied.
"Cool, what story are you from?" Daring asked.
'What is this 20 questions?' Darling thought.
" The Knight of Knightingland - it's not a very popular story." Darling lied.
"Hello, Boys?" The trio turned to see Faybelle. " Who's the new guy?"
"Oh, this is Knightingly the Fifth." The Darling introduced the two.
"What an interesting cologne you're wearing Knightingly." Faybelle sniffed the air.
"It is an interesting smell." Alister sniffed the air. "It smells of roses, lilies, champagne, and fresh dew drops on grass."
"That's almost the same scent of Darling's perfume." Daring realized.
"Oh no!" Darling thought.
"I'm trying out a new cologne. The sales person told me floral scents are the new manly cologne." Darling stated.
"Oh, what brand is it?" Daring asked.
"I think it's called Manly-floral-cologne-something." Darling answered as her voice cracked.
"Nice chatting with you gentlemen, but I gotta head back before Coach Gingerbreadman notices I'm gone. Bye!" Faybelle fluttered back to the gym.
"She's up to something." Alister blurted out.
"Sorry Alister, I still don't understand Riddlish." Daring admitted.
"That wasn't Riddlish, Daring; Faybelle is really up to something." Alister gave a stern look at Daring.
"When is Faybelle not up to something?" Daring asked.
"Just think: she skipping class just to bug us, she tried messing with Kinghtingly, and she noticed both Knightingly and Darling have the same scent." Alister counted the facts on his fingers.
"Yeah; what do you think Kni- he's gone!" Daring gasped.
Knightingly had disappeared into thin air.
*RING. RING*
It was probably for the best since the bell rang for third period.
Nurse's Office
Darling was lying on one of the beds as the school nurse walked in.
"Feeling better, Darling?" The nurse asked.
"Yes ma'am." Darling nodded. "I guess it was too many lumps in my porridge this morning."
"Well if you fell any better, you're allowed to return to your classes." The nurse said handing Darling a nurse's note.
Darling took the note and left the nurse's office. Darling quickly made her way to her locker making sure the armor was secured and picked up her favorite bottle of perfume.
"I'm gonna have to switch up my scents." Darling said to herself as she retrieved her books.
The rest of the day she felt like a grey cloud hung over her, she was almost found out, she needed to be more careful.
Fourth Period
After third period Home Evilnomics word spred throughout the school about how Raven attacked Baba Yaga with a hurricane. Rumors spread about how it started, how it ended, and that Baba Yaga deserved it.
Briar heard everything due to her special power to her everything while she was alseep.
" I knew Raven was faking it." Briar heard Duchess's voice. "This whole Rebel thing was a cover from the start."
"I don't know, Duchess." one princess said. "From what I heard Baba Yaga was being a jerk with the water bottle."
"Plus she kinda had it coming, she ruined my new mascara for spraying me last week." Another princess said.
"Deny it all you want, Raven is evil." Duchess sneered.
When Briar wakes up she was gonna have a word with that girl.
After Class
Duchess was at her locker applying some lip balm and straightening her feathers.
"Duchess, can we chat for a bit?" Duchess turned to see an unhappy Briar.
"Afraid not, I have to head to the Red Dancing Shoes Studio for my private class." Duchess answered as she grabbed her bag.
"Good we can chat while we walk." Briar crossed her arms.
"Whatever." Duchess said as she walked.
"Look Duchess, I get it." Briar began. " Your destiny sucks, but you being a jerk isn't going to make it better."
Duchess stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Briar.
"Oh gee, thanks for reminding me how crummy my destiny is." Duchess hissed. "Some of us don't get an easy destiny where you get cursed, then wake up with a happily ever after, Briar!"
"My destiny isn't easy, Duchess! I have to sleep for a hundred years!" Briar said. "Married to a stranger, my friends either dead or in a retirement home, and having to readjust to a new world."
" Oh cry me a river!" Duchess huffed. "I'd give anything not to be a swan forever, lose my prince, have a happily ever after, and be happy!"
Duchess face was red with fury trying to fight back tears.
"I'd kill to have a destiny like yours." Duchess said just below a whisper.
"No you don't." Briar said.
It was now silent between the two as they stood in front of the other in some weird eye contest.
"I used to believe my destiny was easy, but now that I'm getting older and closer to it I'm afraid of what will happen when the day comes." Briar admitted. "You're right your destiny is no walk in the park. Unhappily never afters suck and I can't relate to it." Briar paused.
Duchess drank what Briar said in; it's true sleeping for a hundred years while the world went on without you didn't seem fun or exciting.
"But Raven does." Briar spoke again. " She maybe princesses but she's been ignored her whole life just because destiny says so. Her ending is no happier than yours."
"So?" Duchess tried to brush it off.
" I won't tell you be friends or anything like that. I'm just saying you both got it bad." Briar admitted.
Duchess had nothing else to say.
"Well, here we are." Briar announced.
Duchess looked up to see they were at the Red Dancing Shoes Studio already.
"See ya, Duchess." Briar waved and headed to her fifth period class.
Duchess brushed it off she had class after all; and it's like Madam said ballerinas could be replaced anytime.
Skipping a bunch of stuff
It was after dinner and many students were either: eating dessert, finishing homework, or getting ready for bed.
"Hello, fellow fairy tales." Blondie greeted her viewers. "I'm here to inform you of an emergency report!"
Everyone's eyes were on their screens as the video showed that the votes for their end-of-school-year trip had been tampered with by an outside force.
"The bigger question is who would dare sabotage our end-of-school-year trip? Well not to worry, Blondie Lockes is on the case!"
With that the show ended and everyone was out for the night. Unaware someone else was watching the show.
Tuesday
When Apple woke up she was greeted by her the sound song birds and her favorite One Reflection song on her on her mirrorphone, sunlight beaming through her curtains, and the purple force field blocking Raven's side of the room.
"Guess I can't get my daily cup of expresso." Apple said to herself.
(In Croquet-Tastrophe Apple was all the way on Raven's side of the dorm for no reason. Since she was holding a mug a assume Raven owns a coffee machine and she let Apple use it sometimes.)
Apple got dressed, made sure her homework was accounted for, and headed out the door. Still a lingering feeling followed behind her.
Boys Dorm
Dexter was still in deep sleep, drool running down the side of his mouth, hair messy, and tangled in his silk navy comforter.
"Dexter?" A voice said, but Dexter didn't stir.
"Dexter?" Dexter turned in his sleep trying to ignore the voice.
"Dexterous Charming wake up!" Dexter jumped out of bed still tangled in his comforter.
When Dexter untangled himself from the comforter and put on his glasses he saw Daring.
"What the hell, Daring it's - 5:00!" Dexter shouted.
"You know what they say ' The early bird looks great when woken up first'." Daring said as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Nobody says that!" Dexter shouted again. "Now let me go back to sleep before-"
Too late his and Hunter's alarms went off.
"Great! Now we're late." Daring huffed in annoyance as he rummaged through Dexter's dresser and wardrobe.
"What are you doing?" Dexter shouted again.
"Trying to find you something decent to wear." Daring answered. "None of these will do; guess I'll have to let you borrow some of my old things."
"50% of my wardrobe is some of your old things." Dexter gritted through his teeth.
He didn't need to be reminded that most of his clothes were hand-me-downs from Daring.
" I guess I can call the family stylist." Daring said texting the Charming family stylist.
"Don't call them!" Dexter shouted.
" Are you two done shouting or can I get dressed in quiet?" The brother's turned to see a shirtless Hunter in green pajama pants with leaf patterns on it.
" Sorry boys, but I gotta get ready for class." With that Daring left.
"That's it I'm putting my foot down the next time I see him!" Dexter stomped his foot.
"Boy, I hope so." Hunter said.
Headmaster Grimm's Office
Headmaster Grimm was in a jolly mood this morning the staff noticed this not sure of what to make of it. If he was correct (and he was) his plan was working. With each apple bite Raven Queen was becoming more wicked than usual. He's been taking note of everything she's done since day one of the poisoned apple: turning her classmates into chickens, destroying school property, disrupting classes, making her classmates fear her, and etc. Everything was going according to plan except- Headmaster Grimm turned his head to see the fake Storybook of Legends and scowled. Once he finds the real Storybook of Legends Raven will sign it and all will be back to normal. But the last time he saw it was in the hands of - The Evil Queen!
"Wake up!" Grimm growled at the mirror.
The Evil Queen appeared hair in a bonnet, black silk night gown, violet robe, and a coffee mug in hand that read 'Bad Queens Only' on it.
"Good morning to you too!" The Evil Queen answered back sarcastically.
"Where is it?" Grimm hissed.
"Where's what? Be specific, you idiot." The Evil Queen sipped her coffee.
"The Storybook of Legends, woman!" Grimm shouted.
The Evil Queen paused for a second then a smile formed on her face. "Oh, why should I tell you?"
Grimm looked like he was about to pull his hair out. "Because the apples are showing progress, and when Raven finally succumbs to them, she'll sign the book and claim her destiny."
The Evil Queen was surprised be Grimm's plan.
"Fine, it's in my old dorm room that I shared with Red during second year. You'll find it under a loose floorboard." The Evil Queen answered and disappeared.
"Excellent." Headmaster Grimm said as he rubbed his hands together.
*KNOCK. KNOCK*
"Come in." Headmaster Grimm said in a sing-song voice.
and Baba Yaga came in.
"May I help you two? I have a lot of paper work this morning." Headmaster Grimm gestured to the mountains of paperwork on his desk.
"It can wait." Mr. Badwolf growled. " We need to talk about Ms. Queen."
"What about her that's different than usual?" Headmaster Grimm asked.
"Recently her behavior has been all over the wall with both students and staff." Baba Yaga stated.
"If this is about the water bottle incident yesterday, I do have to remind you that you've been threatened with lawsuits that that sprayer." Headmaster Grimm stated as he pulled out a file of Baba Yaga squirting a students.
"And her classwork has been darker than usual." pulled out some of her classwork.
It's pretty much the stuff you get sent to a guidance counselor for drawing pictures of blood and murder on. Each report got darker and darker, even Grimm couldn't deny it.
" Well she is in general villiany, history of evil spells, home evil-nomics, and history of evil spells. Classes that discuss how to be evil."
"Not this dark!" Mr. Badwolf slammed his paws on the desk.
"Also we're worrid about her health." Baba Yaga added. "She's seems to be getting paler and thin each time I see her."
"Very well." Headmaster Grimm sighed. " We'll make sure she's eating all her meals and getting enough sunlight. Have her see you after school Baba Yaga. Now if you both don't mind I have paperwork to finish."
Both teachers weren't truly satisfied, but their wasn't much they could do. They left as Headmaster Grimm slammed the door.
"Now to find that book!" Headmaster Grimm rubbed his hands together.
The Evil Queen watched as he left his office. Sure the Evil Queen knew the real Storybooks of Legends was in Wonderland guarded by the Queen of Hearts guards in her castle. But Grimm didn't need to know that.
Briar and Ashylnn's dorm
The girls' dorm area was empty due to everyone having class first period making it perfect for anyone to sneak in and out.
Headmaster Grimm opened the door to Briar and Ashylnn's room and quickly made his way in. On the left was Ashylnn's side of the room while on the right was Briar's.
"I could've sworn Briar was on the left and Ashylnn was on the right." Headmaster Grimm said.
(Before Thronecoming Briar side was on the left and Ashylnn was on the right, don't know why they changed it)
Headmaster Grimm pulled out the photo of a young Red and Evil Queen with Red waving at the camera and the young Evil Queen holding the rug up to hide the Storybook of Legends. As he examined the photo he lifted the rug and found the lose floorboard.
"Bingo!" Headmaster Grimm exclaimed as he pulled the floorboard up.
Only to see the Storybook of Legends wasn't there.
"IT"S GONE! HOW? WHEN? WHY? WHERE IS THAT BLASTED BOOK?" Headmaster Grimm shouted.
In his rage Headmaster Grimm threw the floorboard at Briar's mirror, ripped the rug, and knocked over Ashylnn's shoes. Once his temper tantrum was over with he slammed the door and went back to his office to confront Raven's mother.
End of the Day
Many of students were heading back to their dorms to relax of do their homework, but two students were in for a rude surprise.
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Briar and Asylnn screamed at the sight of their dorm room. Their mirrors were broken, posters ripped from the walls, and so much damage it was like a mini tornado hit. The two friends hugged each other upset someone would be so cruel.
Soon the room filled with worried friends as Apple, Darling, Raven, Maddie, Lizzie, Farrah and Cedar rushed in.
"We heard screaming and - oh my." Apple gasped at the sight of her friends room.
" What happened in here?" Raven asked.
"Someone destroyed our room." Briar cried as tears ran down her cheeks.
"Who would do such a thing?" Maddie asked as she hugged her friends.
"I'll have who ever did this head!" Lizzie shouted as she made a cutting head gesture.
"How we report this to one of the teachers." Farrah said as she grabbed her wand.
"Good idea." Raven said as her hands glowed.
Baba Yaga, Momma Bear, and the White Queen appeared outside the dorm and a few curious students behind them.
"And you have no idea who did this?" Momma Bear asked.
"No!" Both Briar and Ashlynn said in unison.
"And did you notice anything missing?" The White Queen questioned.
"No." Ashylnn answered.
Briar thought for a moment the floorboard where the Storybook of Legends was opened - so does that mean?
"Briar?" The White Queen questioned.
"No."
"I'll cast a spell to repair the damages, if you later find out somethings missing just tell me." Baba Yaga told the two.
Both girls nodded.
"Alright everyone go back to what you were doing!" Baba Yaga shouted at the noisy students.
The students went on their way .
"Raven?" Raven froze when she heard Baba Yaga call her name. "May I have a word with you?"
"Of course." Raven answered.
Baba Yaga's Office
Raven sat on one of the stools as Baba Yaga poured each of them a cup of tea.
"You're probably wondering why I called you here?" Baba Yaga stated.
"Is this because I sprayed you yesterday?" Raven asked a little guilty as she sipped her tea.
"A little." Baba Yaga said as she sipped her tea." Have you been eating well you look thinner."
" I eat all my meals; the apples are gross though." Raven grimaced at the taste of the mandatory apples.
"And your work seems to be darker than usual. I know you do excellent work in your classes and your mother taught you well, but this seems above what you usual do." Baba Yaga noted.
"So? I actually do the assignments and I'm being punished for it?" Raven was getting angry.
"No, but as a teacher I'm worried about you." Baba Yaga said in a gentle tone.
"Liar!" Raven spat out.
Baba Yaga was taken back for a second. Raven was never disrespectful to her. Then the items in Baba Yaga's hut began to float due to Raven's magic.
"Raven calm down, you're getting worked up for nothing." Baba Yaga tried to calm Raven down. "I'm trying to help you."
" No your not." Raven's voice became distorted as her eyes and hands began to glow as she clutched her head. " LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Everything in the room exploded as Raven ran out. Leaving Baba Yaga in her messy office.
"Now I know something is up."
Dinner
The cafeteria was filled with students enjoying their meals since most could eat meat again.
"Hey, where's Dexter?" Hopper asked Hunter and Humpery.
"No clue." Hunter answered as he was finishing his vegan shephards pie.
Suddenly Daring came up behind him.
"Hey Daring!" Hunter greeted the Charming boy.
"Wrong Charming brother." 'Daring' said in Dexter's voice.
"Whoa, Dexter?!" Hunter gasped. "What happened to your hair, you look like Daring?"
It was true Dexter was sporting the same hair style as Daring.
"Daring booked me an appointment at Tower Hair Salon to get his usual haircut." Dexter answered as he slammed his tray on the table.
"Oh!" Hopper and Hunter ohhed in unison.
At Another table
Holly, Poppy, Ashylnn, Briar, Darling, and Apple sat in silence. Apple knew that Briar and Ashylnn were quiet due to their room being invaded, but why Darling, Poppy, and Holly were was unknown.
"So-" Apple began. "How was everyone's day?"
"Fine." The princesses said in unison.
'Suspicious.' Apple thought but didn't push any further.
The theme song of Blondie's Just Right played.
"Hello fellow fairytales." Blondie greeted the viewers. "It seems like a trail of bad luck has followed our school."
Images showed of the Briar and Ashylnn's dorm and end-of-school-year trip votes.
"First it was the end-of-school-year trip and now someone breaking into our dorms? Is this someone's idea of a prank? Revenge from one of our rival schools? Or is it outside forces at work here?" Blondie questioned the viewers. "Well this reporters gonna find out."
Headmaster Grimm's Office
Headmaster Grimm pinched the bridge of his trying to stop a growing headache as he dropped two tablets into his glass of water. He just finished his phone call from the Beauty and Ella families about what happened to their daughters' room. As word got out other families called including: the Charmings, O' Hairs, Hoods, Breadhouse, just to name a few.
"I can't believe you destroyed my own dorm room!" The Evil Queen huffed. "And didn't think to clean it up."
"You told me it would be there!" Grimm pointed at the mirror.
"Well that's what I thought." The Evil Queen said. " I didn't someone would think to look there for it. But now that I think about one of the last few visits I had with Raven was after Spring Fairest when Alister Liddel and Bunny Blanc with-"
"The Storybook of Legends!" Grimm shouted.
"Inside voice." The Evil Queen chastised Grimm.
"They said the last time they saw the real Storybook of Legends was with the Cheshire Cat in- Wonderland!" Grimm shouted in fury.
"Don't pop a blood vessel." The Evil Queen said.
"Great! I know where is now, but I can't get to it." Grimm paced back and forth with enough force to ruin his carpet.
"Not without a little help." The Evil Queen spoke up.
"What do you have in mind?" Grimm asked.
"Well-"
Wednesday
Alister, Bunny, and Kitty were called into Headmaster Grimm's office. Kitty was no stranger to being called to the office, but Alister and Bunny could do no wrong (if one doesn't count their awkward crush on each other).
"I suppose you three are wondering why I called you in?" Headmaster Grimm asked.
" Not really." Kitty answered as she filed her claws.
" I called you three, because you were the last to see the real Storybook of Legends." Headmaster Grimm said.
Kitty dropped her file as all three of the Wonderlanders expressions changed.
"We told you Headmaster, Kitty's mom switched it before we got here." Bunny said.
"Hmm. Kitty the last you had contact with your mom was during Spring Fairest, have you been in contact with her recently?" Headmaster Grimm asked.
Kitty wanted to slap Headmaster Grimm with her sharpened nails.
"No, since all ways of to enter Wonderland have been closed I haven't spoken to her." Kitty answered with a smile trying to hid her anger.
" Bunny and I tried to go back the same way we came through the Well of Wonder, but it hasn't moved since we unplugged it" Alister answered.
"I see." Headmaster Grimm rubbed his fingers down his chin. "You are all dismissed."
As the three Wonderland students left his office, Grimm turned to his mirror.
"You got all that?" Grimm questioned the Evil Queen.
"Of course." The Evil Queen answered. "I'll keep an eye on the Cheshire Cat, you get Raven ready when she reopens the portals."
Cheerleading Practice
"Excellent work everyone. You managed to do a decent job." Faybelle congratulated her squad. "But we need to do better for end-of-school-year trip. We'll practice again on Friday after school don't be late."
As the girls and Hunter collected their things to leave Holly was packed and ready to go.
"Oh, Holly, stay behind." Faybelle said.
The color in Holly's face drained as the others left.
"Yes, Faybelle?" Holly whimpered as her knees buckled.
Faybelle grinned at the sight of the scared Holly.
"Be a dear and pick up the pom-poms will you? I'd do it myself, but I got an appointment at the Tower Hair salon." Faybelle's asked.
It was more of a command then an questioned.
"Sure." Holly quickly answered as she started picking up the scattered pom-poms.
"By the way-" Faybelle began. "I was thinking about telling Headmaster Grimm my fanfic, I'm sure he'll love it."
"NO!" Holly shouted. "I mean he seems pretty busy right now this close to the school year ending."
"True, well see ya. I need to pick up Spindle from day care, then your sister can do my hair" Faybelle said as she fluttered away.
An hour later
It took Holly a whole hour to put all the pom-poms into the shed, but she was done.
"Psst, Holly." Holly heard from behind the shed.
As Holly walked behind the shed she found her sister, Darling, Sparrow, and few other students.
"What's all this?" Holly asked.
"It's Faybelle she's -" Before Sparrow could hit the high notes a few students covered his mouth.
"It's Faybelle." Darling answered holding a pile of homework. "She's blackmailing us to keep our secrets."
"And we don't know how she found out we've been so careful." Sparrow said.
"And if she blabs we'll be in big trouble." The littlest of the three pigs said.
Unaware to the group of upset students a certain wolf was spying on them .
Thursday
"Daring do we really have to do this?" Dexter asked as he sat at a table covered in a white table cloth with a vase full of flowers.
"Of course, Dexter." Daring answered. "You need practice for when you take your girlfriend out on a romantic dinner date." "
"She's not my girlfriend!" Dexter said.
" Plus I'm asking a lot from my fan club so be a good sport." Daring said as he gestured to his fan club.
"Fine." Dexter grumbled.
The practice dates ended in disaster with Dexter either spilling food and drinks on the girls, pushing their seats too in crushing their lungs, and many bad case scenarios on a first date .
"Dexter!" Daring chastised his brother.
"I'm trying!" Dexter whined.
Cerise and Cedar's room
* KNOCK. KNOCK*
"Come in." Cerise's was heard from the other side of the door.
Maddie entered with Earl Grey on her shoulder.
"Am I late?" Maddie asked.
"Nah, we're just getting started." Cerise answered as the three sat on the edge of her bed.
First they were silent, until Cedar spoke.
"Guys, I'm worried about Raven." Cedar began with her voice breaking. "These past few days she hasn't been herself. And she doesn't look too healthy the last few times I've seen her."
" I know I'm worried about her too." Maddie said as her hair slightly deflated. " I've tried talking to the narrators to see what's going on with her, but they won't answer me."
Earl Grey gentle patted maddie's cheek as a tear ran down it.
"You know what?" Cerise jumped off her bed. "Raven's our friend and what ever the hell she's going through, we're going to help her."
"But how?" Cedar whimpered.
" I don't really know, but we'll think of something." Cerise said in a reassuring voice.
As the friends discussed how they would talk to their friend, Raven was having a little breakdown.
Raven's Side
Raven stared at her reflection, she hated staring at her reflection! Sure she'd use the mirrors to apply her make up, fix her hair, or to make sure her face didn't have any blemishes on it, but this was different.
Follow the river to the woods and take
the path on the right.
Take the right path that won't end in a bath,
the path that leads to the night.
Raven sang the song. The same song she sang when she and Apple went to find out what happened to Bella Sister, the same song she sang when she was getting ready for Legacy Day, the song she was singing while she stared at her reflection.
Well I'm gonna stop here, I wanted it to be longer, but I'm pretty burned out right now. I'll try to have the next chapter up soon.
