TW: ANGST, SO MUCH ANGST, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (happy ending though)

We have eachother again

You were one of the Nevers. A reader, so they said. You were took from your adoptive family by a huge creepy looking raven. At first you thought you were dreaming. Maybe the stove in the kitchen leaked and the gas messed with your brain? Nevertheless, you decided to live in the moment. There were two castles connected by a bridge. And the raven dropped you to the castle which you learned later was The School for Evil. In the following days, you tried to blend in the best you could.

You were intimidated and respected by your peers. You seemed to be cold and preserved. Just like Lady Lesso, the dean, you figured out. You were smart and cunning but humble at the same time.

You were in your dormitory when you heard commotion in the hall. Some group of older boys were bullying one of the younger Nevers. You stepped in between them, cold expression on your face and the boys immediately hurried away from the scene. "You okay, Lilith?" You asked your classmate.

Lilith stood silently, her face showing no reaction of what had just happened, her pale skin almost blending with the white walls. Her grey eyes were the only color on her whole face, if you ignored her fiery red hair. "Yes, thank you," she spoke, her voice almost impossible to hear, her voice was soft like a whisper.

"Want to go to my dormitory and hang out?" You offered.

"Yes, that would be nice" Lilith said, following you silently, she did not seem to have much of a social life.

"You know if those boys ever bother you again come and tell me, I'll take care of them." You plopped yourself down on the bed.

Lilith's shoulders relaxed, she smiled slightly as if relieved to have someone stick up for her. She knew she couldn't take the boys on by herself, and no one else at school would stand up for the unpopular girl who is always by herself.

"Thank you, Y/N. Perhaps we can hang out tomorrow?" She asked, offering a brief smile as she spoke, her grey eyes staring into your eyes as a thanks, the faintest hint of pink rose on her pale cheeks.

"I would love to, Lilith." You replied, climbing under the covers of your bed as she left.

You couldn't sleep that night. You quietly tiptoed to the library... You walked around the apple that the Snow White took a bite off. There was Cinderella's glass slipper on display, and her famous pumpkin coach. You touched the glass slipper. Who would wear that kind of shoes? Ew, the toes would be on full display. Disgusting. And then you glanced at the mirror on the wall. You looked at the mirror, reaching your hand to touch it.

A voice came from the mirror, as if there was an invisible presence speaking inside of it. "Who dares awaken the enchanted mirror?" The voice asked, it was deep, and yet, soothing. The mirror seemed to glow slightly, an eerie brightness to it that made the room a little brighter, it's voice echoed as if it was inside of your head. The dark eyes in the mirror looked at you with curiosity.

You shrugged your shoulders but decided to ask the mirror a question the same way The Evil Queen did from the fairytale you read as a child. Why not? Since you were already there... It wouldn't hurt, would it?

Magic mirror on the wall, who's my mother of them all?" You tilted your head, wondering if it will work, waiting for the answer. There was silence and you were about to turn away when it spoke.

"Dear child, your mother has hair of copper red, she carries a cane for her bad leg." the mirror answered.

Your eyes widened in surprise when the mirrior gave you an answer, you were stunned, your heart racing in your chest. You had not expected the mirror to even speak to you, let alone tell you the answer to your question. Though... the little poem was a bit too much.
