Twisted | An eah x twst tale

2 | Nurses Office

"Ah, Mademoiselle are you alright?"

Raven looked up at the blonde man and studied his features. He had pale skin and emerald green eyes. His lips were pretty thin and he was wearing a hat with some sort of feather.

Raven snapped back to reality. "Oh, yeah I'm fine, just a little headache." She looked around, sitting up. "Where am I?"

"Night Raven College grounds Mademoiselle, how did you manage to get in here." asked the blonde.

"Night Raven College? But I was supposed to head back to Ever After High.. where even is this place? This isn't not the maps..." Raven then gasped. "What day is it!"

"Friday, today is Friday. Is something the matter?" The blonde tilted his head to the side, not really sure why she's panicking.

"Oh no! This is fairy fairy bad.. I'm gonna miss Legacy Day!" Raven was practically about to pull her her out.

"Mademoiselle, you seem stressed. Would you like me to take you to campus? Perhaps you can see the nurse for your headache or panicking."

Raven was hyperventilating but looked at the man. "Oh godmother that would be wonderlandiful!"

The man chuckled. "You say words a bit odd, where are you from?"

"The White Kingdom, you know, the biggest kingdom in all of Ever After?" Raven looked at him like he was crazy.

"I've never heard of it, maybe the headmaster has though. But first let's focus on getting you to the nurse." She picked her up bridal style (non-romantic) and started walking towards a huge, grey castle.

They were walking for some time now in awkward silence when Raven started some conversation. "So... what's your name?"

The man gasped. "Oh my, how could I forget to tell you my name! I'm Rook Hunt Mademoiselle, and you?"

"Raven. Raven Queen."

The man have a bright smile. "Ah, a fitting name."

"Hm? What do you mean?" asked Raven.

"Well, you have a sort of regal feel to you, and your last name being Queen really compliments that."

"Well, uh, thank you! I feel like your name fits too! I don't really have a reason for it though.."

The man named "Rook" chuckled. "It's fine Ms. Queen." He looked from Raven to in front of him. "Oh! We've arrived! If anyone stares at you, please ignore them."

"Stares? Why would they stare?" asked Raven, confused.

"You'll be able to tell once we enter."

The two stepped in the school, well, Rook did. Most eyes were on them. "I just have a headache, you don't have to carry me.."

"Nonsense! I must help a lady in times of need!" Rook gave a big smile.

'Oh godmother, I'm really starting to feel like a damsel in distress.." Raven looked around and everyone was looking at her. Some with disgust, some excited, all intrigued. She noticed they were all wearing the same uniform, but some people were wearing different colors. Perhaps for houses or school years? As she continued to look around she noticed something very clear. They were all boys. Raven got transported to an all boys school! 'Thanks a lot heart..' she thought as they continued to walk down the hall.

"Here, drink this." said the nurse. Raven looked at the vile nervously, it was the oddest green she had ever seen. "Don't worry dear, it's a healing potion. It works both physical and mental. It'll help with your headache and stress."

Raven drank the vile and nearly spit it out. It was sour like a lemon and had a faint taste of cinnamon gum. Disgusting. However, she could feel herself calm down and her headache went away.

"See? Works wonders!" said the nurse.

Suddenly, two adult-looking people walk in. The room. One man had black hair fading into green, as well as a bird mask and funky hat, while the other a handsome man with jet-black hair in a ponytail and a cyborg-like eye.

The man in the bird mask shook Raven's hand. "Hello Raven. My name is Dire Crowley, I am the headmaster at this school. This is our first year counselor, Jamie Heart. Would you like to explain how you got in here?

"Well..." started Raven.

♡

Everyone had a shocked face, expect the headmaster. Instead, he had a a dark, angry look on his face. "I see, I see. Mr. Hunt and Croc, Dr. Ratsack, could you leave us three alone a bit?" The two headed out the door, closing it behind them.

Crowley turn to Raven, not bothering to hide his anger. "Do you happen to know a man who goes by the name "Milton Grimm?""

Raven nodded, "He's the headmaster at my school."

This man seemed so sweet when she first shook hands with him, but every word she says his expression is just getting darker and darker. "Is there a certain event happening at your school today?"

Raven was suspicious of this man now. He knows her headmaster, well, at least his name, knows about Legacy Day, yet nobody else has even heard of Ever After for all she knows. Although hesitant, she answers his question. "Yes, Legacy Day. It's where we-"

"I know what that terrible event is." said Headmaster Crowley, mumbling and taking notes.

The room was silent for a while. No questions, no answers, just Crowley reading his notes. Finally, he looked up. "What's your last name again?"

"Queen."

"What?"

"Queen, sir."

The headmaster looked at his notes and studied them carefully. "So you ran away from Ever After High the day before Legacy day because you didn't want to fulfill your destiny as the Evil Queen."

Raven stood up. "How did you know that?! I didn't tell you ANYTHING about my family! And how do you know Ever After High!?"

Crowley didn't move a muscle, it was clear she wasn't scared of her, despite knowing her bloodline. "I'm... good at puzzles." He turned away from her. "Say you didn't sign the book, what do you think would happen?"

Raven crossed her arms, she felt like she had already said too much, but she might as well answer what she can, besides, she had a feeling this man knows more about Ever After than herself. "My story would disappear, I would disappea-"

"Your story would. You wouldn't."

"Huh?"

"I said, if you don't sign the Storybook of Legends, your story won't exist, but you will."

"But Headmaster Grimm said-"

"Milton Grimm is a buffoon that enjoys the suffering of innocent teens."

Raven took a step forward. "Explain yourself. How the hell do you know Ever After, how the hell do you know the Storybook of Legends, and how the hell do you know Headmaster Grimm!"

The man sighed. "Let me tell you a story..."
