《Black Rose》

Solution

[M/n] watched as Alistair, Madeline, Lizzie, and Bunny ran to a stop in front of Apple and the others.

"What's going on?" Alistair asked curiously as he looked at the slouched people around him.

"The wonder!" Madeline looked around, too. "It's gone!"

"I guess it doesn't affect us cause we're from Wonderland." Bunny examined and concluded.

"But, [M/n]?" Lizzie looked around for the funeral themed boy.

"Over here." [M/n] stood between Lozzie and Madeline. "Never was gone."

"Oh, [M/n]." Lizzie gave him a brief hug before spotting Raven, Apple, and the others.

Madeline ran up to Raven and shook her shoulders. "Raven? What happened?"

"The well....Apple...did this..." Raven pointed at Apple, who was across from her before slouching again.

"You're too late." Apple smirked as she sneered at Lizzie, who held her shoulder, making Lizzie gasp in surprise.

"We have the book of riddles!" Lizzie addressed the wonderlanians. "Can't we just destroy that?!" She looked around clueless. "Won't that stop this?!"

"We don't know that yet." [M/N] spoke up. "Besides," a Cheshire frown appeared a few ways from them. "Only one person knows how to reverse this."

"My mom." Kitty piped in with a small frown as the others looked at her. "Hey, gang..."

"Well, I'm sure you're enjoying all of this." Lizzie crossed her arms with a harsh glare directed to the Cheshire.

"No, I don't." Kitty frowned, rubbing her left arm. "I mean, I do love a good joke." She walked over to a rose bush, seeing them all wilted. "But this has gone too far." She shook her head.

"Kitty, you need to talk to your mom about this." [M/n] spoke up, gaining a nod from the said girl.

"Mom!" Kitty cupped her mouth as she shouted into the lifeless space. "I need to talk to you! Now!"

A Cheshire grin showed up in the air.

"All of you." Kitty glared at the smile with a frown.

The Cheshire Cat appeared with a large grin. "Oh, Kitty. What's got your fur up?" She spoke nonchalantly with the grin still on her face.

Kitty shook her head. "I do love chaos...." She looked back up with a harsh glare. "But not when it's with my friends!"

"You set a curse to our school!" Kitty pointed to her angrily as she ranted off.

"I thought you of anyone would love this!" The Cheshire chuckled humorously. "I mean...the chaos!" She spread her arms wide to the sides, taking in the amount of trouble she caused. "I mean, it's spelltacular!"

"No, it's not." Kitty frown deepened and she placed her hands to her chest. "Ever After High, is my favorite place... with my favorite people in the whole world."

The wonder kids smiled brightly as Kitty indirectly included them.

"And if we don't change this. All of our stories will be lost. Forever." Kitty frowned with a lost glint in her eyes. "That's no joke."

The older Cheshire soon challenged her daughter to a game so that they could get the cure to the curse. Kitty soon figured out the trick to winning against her mother and earned her approval.

"Read the last riddle of the book. Backwards." The Cheshire revealed the cure with a bright smile before waving down at the other wonder kids. "See you all on Parents' Day!" She turned and winked at her daughter before disappearing.

A whisk of magic swirled from the spot she was at and erased the wonderland game, unfreezing the two wonder kids.

Madeline and Lizzy cheered gleefully after Kitty won.

"Hey!" Alistair interrupted. "This isn't over yet!" He held up the riddle book with a smug smile.

Madeline grabbed the book and began reading. "Tonight darkness the to answer the is where, but, delight curious the, light to riddle from?"

The six of them looked up and saw the purple hue disappearing from everyone's eyes.
