The Dark Princess [ A Once Upon A Time Fan-fic]

Chapter 3: Ungrateful

Mirana The White Queen is waiting, waiting for her daughter to come down the stairs in her beautiful and perfectly pearl white gown for her eleventh birthday.

-Raven! Come down dear, everyone is waiting for you.- And they are, every subdit of Wonderland is here waiting to have the most beautiful tea party this realm has witnessed.- Raven!! Come down now, please.- The Queen repeated in an authorativevoice.

-I don't want to come down Mother, I... I want everyone gone, please.

-Raven Marizia White, come down now! It's an order! Did you hear me?!.- Raven sighed.

-Coming...- Raven came down the great white stairs and stopped in the last three steps in the great white castle, her hair was loosen nd her lips were covered in black lipstick just like her mother's, her skin was paler than the castle itself and her gown went all the way down to her toes, her corsé was keeping her from breathing correctly however, which made her even more upset than she already was.- I'm here.

-Honey, I'd like you to greet everyone here, everyone greet my beautiful daughter Raven.- The Mad Hatter, The Hare, The White Rabbit, The Cheshire Cat and a lot of other people Raven couldn't recognize very well said at the unisone "Greetings Princess Raven"

-Mother, may I talk to you? In private?

-Oh, not now dear the White Rabbit has some news about the new Queen that's coming to town.

-Mother, it's urgent please, don't make me beg you again.

-I've told you begging is not appropiate for a Princess, if you're just patient enough and stop being so insolent I'll listen to what you have to say.

-You think I'm insolent?!

-Well of course dear, but not all the time, just when you don't want to listen to me.

-No...

-What did you say?

-I'm not insolent, I can be a little bit of a rebel, but I've never been insolent to you Mother, I've been more than obedient maybe even submisive and if you think even for a second that I've been disobedient to you, you are incredibly wrong.

-Raven don't do this right now...

-Then when?! You never have time for me! You're always busy, you're never there for me and you never want to listen to me! It's like I'm invisible to you, like I don't matter, LIKE I'M NOT EVEN YOUR DAUGHTER, LIKE YOU STOPPED CARING ABOUT ME THE MOMENT I STARTED WALKING!!.- Now Raven was screaming and crying in front of everyone but she didn't care, she just wanted to be noticed by her mother even if it was in a bad way.

-You say you're not insolent? Well you just proved you are. You are just a childish, insolent and UNGRATEFUL....- The Queen was in the floor now rubbing her cheek which got to a crimson tone, the first time you could see any color that wasn't black or white on her face, Raven had slapped her mother with all her force.- You... you fool.- A dark mass started to form up around Raven and lifting her off the ground filling her mouth, her nose, her whole body was getting covered by it and Raven couldn't stop it.

-Mother! What is happening to me?!.- Raven said in fear and coughing trying to breathe.

-You broke our oath, our ancesters and family's oath, Raven...Dark magic is taking over you, the legend was right.

-What legend?! You never talked about a legend!

-Our family is cursed, if anyone of our family were to hurt any living creature, the darkness would take over them and they would become in everyone's living nightmare. You...you have to leave Wonderland, I won't let you destroy my kingdom or it's people. White Rabbit!.- The little creature created a portal below where Raven was levitating.

-No, Mother, please no!

-Turns out you were right Raven, you are not my daughter anymore. You and your soul are banished forever from Wonderland and no magic can make you come back; Rabbit, let her go.

-No, Mother NOOOO!

Raven went through the portal, it took her a long time to land almost like she aged for some reason and landed in this strange new land, it looked so vivid and kind of like a Jungle? Like something you would only see in your wildest dreams; someone was in front of her, his brown leather boots and leaf green pants described perfectly who it was, someone Raven had only read about but knew lived and was the king of this land, his name was Peter Pan and he had never seen more perfect.

-Welcome gorgeous, to Neverland I'm Peter, Peter Pan. And you are?

-I already know who you are and where I am.-She responded with a cold and distant voice while she stood up with the help of Pan, she definitely was angry at her mother and subdits.- My name's Raven by the way.

-Ah, the Corrupted Princess. It took you a while to come I might say, I knew you were coming but I didn't know when; three years is a long time I must add.- Peter said in his cocky but serious tone.- Well you don't have to fear, Raven, because here you will be treated just like you are.

-And what could be Pan? A scared little girl that has nothing? A ditched princess in this mysterious little island? A prisoner who you can manipulate? I'm don't work that way honey.

-Quite a fury, aren't you? But you didn't let me finish, you don't have to fear me nor the lost boys, you can rest in peace because I'm not capturing you, I'll treat you for what you exactly are. Someone strong, someone with power, resistance, someone who has the capability of ruleing, someone who is born with leadership and beauty if I may say.

-Stop flitring with me and finish your sentence, would you?

-As you wish, Princess. Here you will be treated just like you are: A Queen.
