(This will also be a bit of a looong chapter. But I didn't find a good way to cut it in two. But this is like one of the most important chapters, the last one was too but like this is like the important chapter. I know it's long but don't skip it for the plot.)

None of the girls could look at each other. They just stared at Vanessa, dead and beautiful in her frozen grave.

"We're sisters," said Sophie, turning to Agatha, a strange flatness in her voice.
"But not," said Agatha softly. "Family but not family. Blood but not blood. Together but apart." She could feel a wave of emotions trapped behind her heart, too big and powerful to let in. "That's why I saw Sader in my dreams like he was my father," she rasped. "Because he always reminded me of your father. Somewhere, I knew I was Stefan's daughter all along."
Y/n looked between the two, watching the blurred reflections in the ice tomb. "Sophie?" she finally said. "We have to go. We have to go right now."
Sophie didn't meet her eyes. Her muscles were tense, her entire body on edge.
"Did you hear me?" Y/n pressed. "We have to g–"

"It doesn't change anything, Y/n," said Sophie coldly, still staring at her mother.
"What? Sophie it changes everything–"
"No," she retorted. "It proves I was Evil from the start. That my mother was never Good and cursed me to relive her miserable little life, rotting alone while other people get your love, the same way she watched Honora be loved by my father. Good gets Good; Evil gets nothing. Except I have the chance to change my ending. Now more than ever, with Rafal, I will get my Honora. I won't end like my mother." She shoved past Y/n and started jostling random tombs. "Bloody hell! There has to be another door somewhere."

Y/n watched her, stunned. "Sophie, don't you get it? Choosing Rafal only makes you more like her. Your mother did Evil in order to force love and look what happened! Choosing Rafal won't get you me. Sophie, I love you for you. Not for who he makes you–"
"You don't mean that," Sophie said, tears stinging her eyes. "So stop saying it! Do you know how much it hurts to hear you say that? I know you don't mean a word of it. So stop lying to me. You heard what Sader said. We are forced to play the roles of our parents. We'll live in an endless loop. The only one who can help me is Rafal. Either you're mine, or Agatha and that disgusting boy does. Only one side wins you."

"Sader also said he believed in us," Agatha cut in, accosting her. "He died for us–"
"Just like my mother died knowing she'd never found love," Sophie said, elbowing her away. "Evil souls don't find love. First lesson at the School for Evil. Evil souls are meant to end up with no one."
"I won't let that happen to you," Y/n fought back.
"Really? I'll just have to follow your threesome like some Evil pet then? Will you invite Hort too? So I can be the pretty lap dog and he can be the guard dog?" Sophie hissed, punching tombs. "Don't you get it? My soul is broken! I'm messed up, sick in the head, rotten to the core! I'm damaged. I'll never find the kind of love I want to have with you because I'll never be happy inside. All these years, I wanted to be like the mother I thought I had-- and angel of Good and light-- and instead, I see I was always like her. Not even she could love me! I'm unlovable down to the pit of a bad, bad soul."

"You aren't her," Y/n said, trailing behind. "Deep down, you're nothing like her–"
"Are you deaf? Did you hear her story?" said Sophie, hitting tombs faster now. "I kept denying my love for you for some stupid boy. I just wanted to deny my feelings for you, and I only realized when it was too late. I kept falling for the same things as my mother. I kept trying every trick she did– love spells, beauty potions, wishing on a star– only to end up hated and alone, while everyone else gets the one person, the one person who understands me and who I love. And just like my mother I'm going to end up dead in a frozen dungeon, with all these other cowards, who were too weak to accept they were Evil."
She whirled to Y/n and Agatha, splotched with rage. "So you better believe, if I get out of here, I'll do anything it takes to keep you by my side Y/n, no matter how Evil. Anything."
