The end is just the beginning

Questioning our destiny

Once upon a time in a not so distant land from where I'd been before, was a school for fairytale characters and their children. The children of these fairytales would come to school here and learn to follow in our parents footsteps to learn to be our parents. Write our names down in the book of legacy and sign away our fate, even if its not something that we wanted.

Eh hm.... Excuse me, but I believe that's my job. The male narrator scolded me. Sorry. Wait, you can hear me? Yeah, I can hear everything. Why? Well isn't that kind of your job, don't you know everything? I'm a sibling of a student of someone whose already has a parent to follow the footsteps of, Raven is the only person with a sibling that's younger than her that doesn't have their own story.

And I'm the odd one out and had hoped to share a room with Raven and Maddie but I guess Apple told Mr. Grimm that she wanted us to share a room with her, but hey at least I'll be able to share a room with my sister and see her again after a long summer of not seeing her. Onyx? Who are you talking to? Just the narrator North Wind it's ok don't worry you're pretty little head.

You're the pretty one between the two of us Onyx. Ooh a magic package. It's a letter from Raven. Note: Dear Farrah on my way to Ever After, can't wait for us to be roommates this year with Maddie, I'm sending you my stuff and hoped that you could help me get it set up. I hope you've had a good summer, I've really missed you. You're so lucky you don't have your own story you can decide your own fate, but I'm worried what will happen to you if you don't have anything to sign when it becomes your turn to sign the book. See you real soon Hex ya later xoxo your big sister Raven. And she'd signed it with a blackish purpley feather stamp.

I squealed in happiness knowing I'd get to see my sister again. I was thrilled we be roommates this year too, but a little disappointed that our other roommate wouldn't be Maddie. But, since I was the first one in the room, I had North Wind help me set my stuff up while I began setting up her stuff. I hope she'll like it. I'm sure she'll love it. North Wind told me placing a hand on my shoulder.

Outside on their walk down towards the school the male and female narrators were arguing about how things should be and who was telling the story, Raven was using her powers to control her stuff on their walk and complaining about this and that and her story and Legacy day. And then Maddie cut her off to make the narrators shut up. Since all of the Wonderland citizens at least I think all of them can, but can hear them talking.

It's just I'm sick of everyone thinking that I'm evil just because my mom was. I mean no one thinks Farrah's evil! Oh Raven but nobody really knows Farrah and they don't feel threatened by her because she doesn't have her own story. It's just not fair! Raven screams flinging her objects. Everyone hates me. That's not true Raven, now you're talking crazy talk. The daughter of the Madhatter calling me crazy.

Come on everyone loves you! Maddie tells her as they come up the steps of the school, but then when they see her everyone runs away scared calling her evil. Then in my room I get a Hexmessage. Ooh it, a message from my big sister. She's here! I squeal, come on I tell North Wind grabbing his hand. Meanwhile while Maddie stopped to have tea with her mouse Raven was sitting lonely in the castleteria.

Both: Raven! I call to her and another voice coming the opposite way calls. Dexter Charming, from the looks of things he's got a crush on her. Unintentionally ignoring Dexter she hops up and hugs me. Farrah you're here! Oh, I missed you so much. Whose this? Oh wait don't tell me this is that wonderful little boyfriend of yours you've been going on about all the time.

You talk about me when I'm not around? He questions. Aw sweetie only the good things, I haven't got a single evil thing to say about you love. I turn and kiss his cheek. Raven smiles sweetly at us awing at us. Oh, hey Dexter she calls to him as we take our spots next her. I'd offer you a spot next to us, but I'm evil remember and you'd have to be pretty.... Before she can finish her sentence Apple and Daring come waltzing in and everyone fawns over them.

Happy Raven how is every enchanting thing? She asks her. Oh Farrah Queen its so good to see you. How the hex was your summer? She asks me ruffling my hair. It was fine Apple, I tell her. And how are you doing? I'm wonderful, thanks for asking. And who is this cutie pie over here? North Wind this is Apple White daughter of Snow White, Apple this is North Wind twin brother to Jackie Frost and cousin to Jack Frost and not to mention my boyfriend.

He's so cute! Is he a student here? No like me he also doesn't have a story on his own, and one little thing don't worry if he forgets who you are as sweet and adorable as he is he forgets things a lot. Sorry he apologizes. But I do remember everything about my girl. I only remember the important things, which is why when its lunch time at school I'll be here everyday, so you'll be seeing a lot of me, maybe then I won't forget you guys.

And then the bell rang for our first classes. Ooh time to go to class. Farrah, Raven what is your class? How did we end up with the same classes your a freshman? It's history of evil spells. Well, I gotta go to class sweetheart. When I settle in for the night I'll Hex you later on the magic mirror. On mirror time. I'll be looking forward to it. He transforms into an owl and flies out the window. I love you! I call after him waving. I love you too he calls as his voice becomes distant in the wind.

After classes are over Raven is hoping to see Maddie in her room, but is surprised to see Apple instead. Yeah, ha - ha Apple that's funny, but uh Farrah and I are staying with Maddie this year. Not anymore I decided since you're such a big important part of my story.... Yeah, yeah Apple what's your point? I ask her. That I asked Headmaster Grimm if you guys could room with me instead. That way we're all together. And you still get your sister as a roommate.

B-b-but Raven stampers. And your sister was told this info too and she had already began to set up your side of the room and hers. All I had to do was set my stuff up on my side. I'm thoughtful and beautiful and sing the loveliest songs about woodlands. When she begins to start singing birds fly to her. Raven goes to the window to shew them away. It will be ok Raven.

I say putting a hand on her shoulder, but.... Both: This is gonna be a long year we proclaim in sync. At least I'm not alone in this. She says hugging me. During the night I do as I promised and give my goodnights to North Wind, and sweet dreams. And my I love yous to him. And in the morning (outfit 18)it was time for the rehearsal of Legacy day.

We all sat in the audience or up at the top as Headmaster Grimm was explaining what to do on the actual day. Key appears unlock the book, sign your name and watch the future of your story play out and claim your destiny, to follow the path of those that came before you. First Maddie went and proclaimed she was gonna be just like her dad.

Some people like Apple and Maddie had no problem with their fates and destinies. Next was Hunter huntsman. He was supposed to be the next huntsman, weather that means helping Raven and pretending to go after Apple to get her heart for the soon to be evil queen, or saving Cerise from the next big bad wolf as she was supposed to be the next little red ridding hood, however she has a secret she's part wolf, her mom and the wolf flipped the script and fell in love, and no one knows what or who she really is because she keeps her hood up all the time.

Next was Cedar Wood she was supposed to be like her dad Pinocchio. Something about lying all the time, but for now she can only tell the truth until then and wants to be a real girl not just made of wood. But when it comes to Raven's turn she asks what would happen if she doesn't want to pledge and everyone *gasps* in shock. When she gets her answer he tells her that her story will seize to exist, and that we will go poof if she doesn't sign.

But.... That's not fair, Farrah is an "evil queen" character too, she's a Queen, how come I have to have a set in stone story but she doesn't have a story of her own at all?! She'll have to sign the storybook of legends too when she's old enough! Miss Queen please be reasonable! Headmaster Grimm reminds her, you are privileged to have a story of your own, and you will sign your name, and declare your destiny.

She looks down at me with a frown and back at him with a frustrated glare. Then, she runs off. Raven wait! I call after her. I chase after her as she runs into the forest. Everyone else is against it, except the male narrator. With Raven all alone, and Giles Grimm stuck below the school speaking in Riddlish just like other Wonderland people, since they speak that language.... Something was going to happen, something not good, not good at all, or maybe it would be good after all. Who can really say. But all good stories have two sides and next we'll hear Apple tell her story.
