Hi, I'm back! These next three chapters will tell use where Raven's been the whole time, what she's been doing, and her transformation from Raven Queen to Queen Raven. Enjoy!

WARNING: This chapter will have suicidal themes, blood, and some pretty dark stuff.

Where are you, Raven?

'I really done it this time.'

Raven thought as she walked deeper and deeper into a dark and moist cave. The water that dripped from the stalactite sounded like the ticking of a clock counting down to Raven's doom; even if she apologized and explained what happened she'd still be in huge ginarmous trouble. She slashed Daring Charming, son of King Charming, from the MAIN Charming family, she already rebeled against her destiny of being the Evil Queen in the future Snow White story and caused the Rebel party causing all of Ever After to split in two, it was three strikes and she was out.

She failed the people who supported her about changing their prewritten stories, her friends that supported her since the beginning, her father - her father!

Raven unlocked her mirrorphone went to her contacts and called her father. She owed him that.

* CELLPHONE NOISES*

"Raven!" The Good King greeted his daughter.

"Hi, dad." Raven said with melancholy in her voice.

"Is everything okay, Raven?" The Good King's cheery demeanor changed to a worried one.

"Dad, I want you to know that you mean the world to me and I'm sorry." Raven began as tears ran down her face on the other.

"Raven, speak to me my little birdy, is something going on in school?" The Good Kings voice was filled with worried and panic.

" You'll find out soon enough, I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me all these years. I know it wasn't easy for you to raise the future evil queen." Raven whimpered into the mirror phone.

"Raven where are you, did someone do something to you? Raven, answer me? Raven? " The Good King cried into the mirror phone.

"I love you."

"Your call has been disconnected, please try again." A robotic phone voice said on the other line.

"RAVEN!" The Good King's screamed as the other end continued to beep.

Raven walked into the darkest part of the cave where she had to use her magic to light the way, until she reached her destination.

"Hi, Bella." Raven greeted Bella's fake skeleton.

Raven slump next to the fake corpse of Bella Sister on a moth-bitten blanket wearing a half-rotten dress next to a rock wall, written in red paint, was:

I SHOULD HAVE SIGNED THE BOOK

Which was fake due to the once living gnat getting stuck to the then wet paint but was now mocking her. It didn't matter if Raven signed or not ruling over the land like a dictator, causing her friends pain, being locked in a dungeon- no matter what she did she'd end up miserable.

*GROWL*

Raven's stomach growled, if she were back at school it would be dinner time and she would be eating a meal of with her friends if it weren't for the accident.

*GROWL*

she rummaged in her bag hopping for a couple of salted caramels or a granola bar only to find-

"An Apple? how'd this get here?" Raven thought.

Flashback

Lunchtime

Raven sat alone at lunch usually Maddie, Cedar, Cerise, and her ate lunch together on Fridays, and they would've said something if they weren't going to make it. Unless they didn't care to tell her! NO! She shouldn't, couldn't, and wouldn't think her friends would hurt her in any way, shape, or form.

"Hey, Raven. Is this seat taken?" Dexter asked holding his tray of food.

"Nope." Raven answered as Dexter sat down.

"Where's Maddie, Cedar, and Cerise?" Dexter asked.

"I don't know, we always eat lunch together on Friday. Does this mean they don't want to hangout with me anymore." Raven answered sadly pushing her remaining food around.

"What? No, they're your best friends, they love spending time with you, I love spending time with you!" Dexter realized the last thing he said and blushed.

"Thanks, Dex." Raven smiled back at the prince.

"Raven, if you're not doing anything later I was wondering if-"

* RING, RING*

"Everyone to your afternoon classes!" A teacher shouted.

"Well, guess I'll tell you later." Dexter sounded disappointed with his shoulders down and a frown on his face.

"No! Tell me now. No, time like the presence." Raven said in an almost demanding tone as she grabbed her mandatory apple.

Dexter's face lit up. "I wanted to know if you'd like to go on a da-"

"Ms. Queen, Mr. Charming, get to class this instant!" Headmaster Grimm shouted at the students.

Dexter ran off to his next class in fright while Raven remained.

"Ms. Queen, did you not hear me?" Headmaster Grimm crossed his arms and tapped his foot impatiently.

As Raven turned her head to Headmaster Grimm her balled fist and eyes glowed a dark shade of purple. Headmaster Grimm was taken aback by Raven's appearance.

"It's rude to - INTERRUPT!" Raven blasted headmaster Grimm, stuffed the apple in her purse, and stomped her way back to her next class.

End Flashback

"Oh yeah." Raven said remembering the moment as her stomach began to growl again.

Raven's clutched her stomach at it gnawed away at itself begging to be satisfied by something edible. Raven had no choice but to eat the apple.

Raven bit into the apple only to find the texture mushy, the scent too sweet, and the taste acidic. Raven almost gagged it back up, but her empty tummy demanded to be full. As much as Raven hated the taste, she ate the whole apple bite by bite. It tasted bitter like charcoal, and the texture was mushy and chunky, but it did ease her hunger pains despite it all. Once done Raven didn't feel completely full, but it soothe her stomach for now.

"I have no choice, I have to go back and apologize." Raven told herself as she got up only to feel lightheaded and slumped back to the floor. " I feel dizzy."

Before Raven knew it, she was out like a light.

Spongebob's French Narrator voice: Several Hours Later

"Ugh, my head hurts!" Raven whined as she clutched her head as a buzzing sound echoed in her ears. "How long was I out."

The cave was much darker than before with the only light was Raven's phone buzzing. Raven picked the phone only to be bombarded with news of her attack on Daring!

Video

*Just Right Theme Song*

"BREAKING NEWS, EVER AFTER HIGH!" Blondie's voice boomed into the microphone. "Not only has Daring Charming's face been assulted, but Raven Queen has left Ever After High! C.A. Cupid and Ramona Wolf were the only ones to witness the event and both are not talking."

Blondie was currently in a crowd in front of the nurse's office with gifts for the injured prince Charming.

"Move out of the way! Stand back! Move!" Baba Yaga shoved students out of her way.

"Baba Yaga!" Blondie shoved her microphone in Baba Yaga's face. " Is Daring's face recovered, is he disfigured, will he ever show his face again?"

"Get that thing out of my face!" Baba Yaga shouted as she swatted the microphone out of her face.

Baba Yaga opened the nurse's office door and quickly slammed the door behind her.

"Rude!" Blondie gasped as she picked up her microphone. "There you have it folks -"

"Blondie!" Hopper cried out, running to her with a frappe from Hocus Latte Cafe.

"Hopper, what is -" Before Blondie could finish Hopper whispered into her ears. "This just in Duchess and Faybelle got into a huge fight at Hocus Latte Cafe!"

"Out of my way!" Baba Yaga flew out of the nurse's office as quickly as she came in.

"OH, seems like Baba Yaga found out something interesting." Blondie ohhed. "Baba Yaga wait!"

Blondie was soon chasing after Baba Yaga with the camera crew behind her; there were many tv screens, mirrorphones, or mirrorpads showing what had just happened at the school.

End Video

Raven's face twisted in a grimance. Of course, Blondie would broadcast anything for ratings.

Heck! She'd framed Cerise for almost ruining the Legacy Party, harassed Lizzie during Next Top Villian, and 'borrowing' things just because people leave them out. Despite all those things all she had to do was apologize and all her deeds were erased.

Come to think of it when Raven made Apple's birthday cake during the royal bake-off Briar poisoned her cake just to make Apple happy. If Raven actually poisoned the cake everyone would've accused her of ruining Apple's birthday!

The list went on in Raven's head how certain characters got away with evertything while she was punished by doing minor things or by accident.

Another video played.

The lights began to dim as a lone spotlight was set on a podium where Headmaster Grimm appeared.

"Students and staff of Ever After High, I believe I don't have to tell you why we are all here on this fine Friday afternoon." Headmaster Grimm began.

Boos, hisses, and jeers filled the auditorium by the students even the Rebel ones as hushing from the staff joined in to quiet the student body.

"SILENCE!" Headmaster Grimm shouted into the microphone as the room went quiet.

"Yes, Ms. Queen has indeed left us with another mess to clean up." Headmaster Grimm voiced his opinion.

"But don't be discouraged, I plan to fix this problem." Headmaster Grimm said in a reassuring voice. "Come Tuesday, Raven will be back in school and all will be back to normal... Also, she and every last one of you will sign the Storybook of Legends."

Everyone gasped at the last statement.

"And I know what you all are thinking 'But Headmaster Grimm the Storybook of Legends is a fake and the real one is in Wonderland', and yes all of that is true. But I assure you, I found a way to locate the real Storybook of Legends and your destinies will be secured! That will be all." With that Headmaster Grimm left the stage.

End Video

If Headmaster Grimm didn't grind Raven's gears already he did now. He was doing everything in his power to make her look horrible and he'd do anything to save his reputation.

He had it out for her ever since her mother went off-script and it only increased after the Rebel movement. That horrid play, watching her like a hawk, making her an example.

For crying out loud she's a high schooler and he's in his hundreds and he gets away with belittling, humiliating, and manipulating her!

Another video played.

Snow White excited out of the limo her signature queen poses and the crowd was eating it up.

Next, Apple exited the limo next instead of doing her signature princess pose, Apple slowly got unsure of where to go. Usual Apple was model ready for a photo, but now she seemed so small and lost.

Nobody seemed to notice how uncomfortable Apple was even her mother.

Then, a frenzy of reporters were asking stupid questions about Raven.

"ENOUGH!"

Apple's scream that silenced everyone.

"None of you speak ill of Raven ever!" Apple bellowed as she walked to the front of the castle.

" Isn't that just like my daughter?" Snow White spoke gaining everyone's attention. " Even after all that Raven Queen has done, my daughter tries to see the good in everyone."

End Video

Raven wasn't fooled she knew this was just an act the Whites were doing to look good in the public eye. Raven thought Apple was her friend, but now she only saw her as a user.

What kind of friend: switches roommates without informing someone, redecorate their side of the dorm without consent, spy on them through mirrors, and team up with their evil mother?

Raven continued watching more videos calling her a witch, evil, and just like her mother. It was too much, too much!

"Great." Raven said sarcastically as she slumped to the ground.

*PING*

Raven's eyes widened when she saw the headlines.

REBELS EITHER SIGN OR BE EXPELLED!

There were photos of her classmates being handcuffed by knights and put into a police carriage being sent off to a spooky looking castle. As onlookers threw rotten tomatoes at them. There was even an image of teary-eyed Cedar, Maddie, and Earl Grey covered in rotten fruit as they were carted out.

CERISE HOOD EXPOSED!

Cerise's hood was down exposing her wolf ears as she appeared to be running away from something and that something was an angry mob! Carrying torches and pitchforks as they advanced towards Cerise in the photo.

RAVEN QUEEN: WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE!

It was an image of Raven from her yearbook on a wanted poster charging her of multiply crimes against not just her story and humanity!

As Raven read more stories tears ran down her face. She was a monster, a witch, and a villain. There was no escaping it she let so many people down and it was all her fault!

"It's over now, I know inside, no one will ever know the sorry tale of Raven Queen and those who suffered." Raven sadly began to sing as she got up and went to the rotting table.

Raven's thoughts went to her friends Maddie, Cedar, and Cerise - they didn't deserve to suffer because of her and her rebellious nature.

No one must ever know, they'd only see the tragedy. They'd not see my intent the shadow of my mother's evil would forever kill the good that I had meant.

The road to Hell is paved on good intentions, no good deed goes unpunished, and whatever other old sayings go with these. Raven never wanted to be evil, especially after her mother poisoned her poor puppy, Prince, and turned him into a boned-rat-demon-thing. She tried turning the other cheek or be nice, but it always slapped her in the face. But, no matter how hard she tried to be good it would always end up in disaster.

Raven grabbed the knife that was on the table and held it to her wrist about to end her life.

"Am I a good woman? Am I a madwoman? It's such a fine line between a good woman and a—"

"Do you really think that I would ever let you go?" A mysterious voice sang.

Raven dropped her mirrorphone to the ground as it shattered, and the cave became dark.

"Who's there?" Raven cried out.

"Do you think I'd ever set you free?" The voice questioned back. "If you do, I'm sad to say, it simply isn't so."

Raven used her magic to light up the cave to see who was singing only to see her reflection. The once moist and bug infested cave was covered in reflective surfaces like a house full of mirrors.

This freaked Raven out as she started to hyperventilate as she saw no exit in the large mirror, until she saw a large mirror that didn't feature her reflection. Raven involuntailly walked closer to the large mirror, no matter how much she struggled she kept inching toward it. In the mirror Raven saw a tall, cloaked figure as she pulled down her hood.

"You will never get away from me!"

"Mother?" Raven gasped.

"Oh, come on." The voice laughed. "We may have gotten our good looks from her, but I'm not her."

Raven took a better look at the women- She had wavy long black, purple, and violet hair, pale greyish-purple skin, and amythest eyes.

"You're me?" Raven choked out.

"Almost." The older Raven's cloak disappeared revealing a silver crown with amythest stones and mini daggers on it, dagger earrings, a silver high collar, a long ombre black to purple dress with feather patterns on it. "I'm Queen Raven, the neo–Evil Queen, and ruler of all! I'm who you are destined to be!"

"What? No,no,nope, no!" Raven cried out. "I won't be dictator, neo–Evil Queen, or a ruler of all!"

"There's no denying it, Raven." Queen Raven chastised Raven. "The truth is right in front of you!"

"All that you are is a face in the mirror. I close my eyes and you'll disappear!" Raven sang as she shut her eyes tightly and turned around.

"I'm what you face when you face in the mirror. Long as you live, I will still be here!" Queen Raven sang in a control tone.

"All that you are is the end of a nightmare. All that you are is a dying scream." Raven noticed the knife that she intended to use to kill herself with and picked it up and held it to her neck. "After tonight, I shall end this demon dream!"

Raven slit her throat and wrist as blood slowly began to drain from her body. She couldn't let this Queen Raven exist even if it meant ending her own existence! Raven fell to her knees as her hands became soak with blood, but Ravem didn't feel any form of pain from either the dull knife's cut or the red blood leaving her.

"This is not a dream, my friend and it will never end." Queen Raven continued to sing. "This one is the nightmare that goes on!"

"Queen is here to stay! No matter what you may pretend." Queen Raven sunk down to lifted Raven's level and lifted her chin up as her index finger stabbed her younger version's cheek as specks of blood came out. "And she'll flourish long after you're gone!"

Raven shoved herself away from Queen Raven and clutched the knife and started slashing at both wrist making more blood come out. "Soon, you will die and my memory will hide you. You cannot choose but to lose control."

"You can't control me, I live deep inside you." Queen Raven pointed out and pointed to Raven's heart. "Each day you feel me devour your soul!"

"I don't need you to survive like you need me." Raven sang as she swatted Queen Raven's hand away from her and bravely stood up. "I'll become whole as you dance with death."

"And I'll rejoice as you breathe your final breath!" Raven suddenly felt dizzy and weak, she began to wobble as her vision became blurry.

"Oh, I'll live inside you forever" Queen Raven's voice boomed as purple wind began to swirl around the two.

"No!" Raven weakly cried out.

"With Satan himself by my side!" Queen Raven sang as she became large, taller, and wicked.

"No!" Raven cried out again as she fell to the floor like a rag doll.

"And I know that now and forever, they'll never be able to separate Raven from Queen!" Queen Raven sang with triumph in her voice as magic ingulfed her hands and the mirrors began to break.

"Can't you see? It's over now, it's time to die!" Raven roared. How was it possible that Queen Raven wasn't weakened, in movies if you killer the younger person's self the future them won't exist, yet Queen was still standing strong?

"No! Not I! Only you!" Queen Raven sang smugly as she snapped her fingers.

The ground began to shake under Raven as it lowered Raven down into a hole. Raven tried using her magic, punching the walls, and crawling out to no avail. Raven was still bleeding despite the fact she should've did minutes ago from the blood lost. The blood flowed like a river heading to the sea as it filled the hole Raven was in.

"If I die, you die, too!" Raven franticly pointed out.

"You'll die in me, I'll be you!" Queen Raven said not giving a hoot.

"Damn you, Hyde! Leave me be!" Raven shouted glaring up at her future self.

"Can't you see? You are me!" Queen Raven mocked her weaker younger self.

Raven couldn't let this happen. "No! Deep inside—!"

"I am you!" Queen Raven interrupted. "You are Queen!"

"No, never!" Raven cried out as her blood reached her shoulders and bloody tears ran down her eyes.

"Yes, forever!" Queen Raven triumphally laughed.

"God damn you, Queen! Take all your evil deeds, and rot in hell!" Raven cursed as the blood reached her lips.

"I'll see you there, Raven!" Queen Raven laughed evilly as Raven's head submerged in her own blood.

Raven tried to swim out of her blood, but it was like swimming in gelatin mold, post-war American food gelatin mold! Raven choked on her own blood until it all went black!

*AAAHHH*

Raven shot up, heart beating fast, sweat falling down her face, and breathing deeply. After of couple more deep breathes she used her magic to create a glowing purple fireball to illuminate wherever she was. Raven checked her throat and both her wrist to see no cuts, scars, or blood; she was still in the cave, still breathing, still alive.

Raven didn't know to be relieved, disappointed, or furious.

She turned on her phone to see that it was midnight, a new day for a new plan.

Ever After High

Maddie and Kitty's Room

Maddie was on her mirrorphone texting raven messages such as:

Feather where is your nest?

The tea is missing its sugar.

The heart is a ship on the sea sinking without its sail.

"Maddie!" Kitty groaned to look up to see Kitty teloparted next to her bed. "You need your rest for your journey tomorrow, go to sleep."

"Just one more text message." Maddie pleaded.

"No." Kittyy said as she snatched Maddie's phone.

"But, what if Raven calls and I'm not there to answer?" Maddie whimpered.

"She would've called by now, Maddie." Bunny said as she sat up from the bed. " You can check your phone in the morning."

" But-" Maddie was interrupted by a squeaky Earl Grey. "Okay. I'll go to sleep."

"Good." Kitty said as she teleported to her bed.

"Night, Maddie." Bunny said as she hugged Maddie and turned over to sleep as Earl Grey did the same.

Maddie snuggled down and slowly closed her eyes.

"Where are you, Raven?" Maddie whispered as she was whisked away to a dreamless dreamland.

Okay, part 1 of 3 is up, WOHOO! I want to take a moment to thank y'all for being patient with the updates. Last month we had another scare in the family so I was crazy worried and I literally got back from visiting my grandparents with my mom to make sure they were okay, but everything is okay now!

For all y'all theatre fans out there the song is Confrontation from the musical Jekyll and Hyde based on the book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Bye!
