Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 3)

Ch.52 Knowing

That evening, Elena had just gotten some tea and was heading home when she ran into Mr. Gram.

"Oh, pardon me Elena" he said.

"It's fine" she said as she avoided eye contact.

"Uh, are you okay?"

"No" she groaned "My mom is driving me nuts, I can't find a way to stop her before she does something bad. And no matter how many times I reject her, she will not stop in trying to make me evil."

"Well why don't you just do so so she could leave you alone?"

"Oh please" she groaned "I know you agree with her, and guess what Mr. Gram, I will never be like her."

"Well maybe all of this wouldn't of happened if you would of stayed out of the secret passage in the library" he frowned.

"Wait" her eyes widen "How did you know about that?"

"Uh" he said as he tried to think of an explanation.

"You were the one who took the key?" Elena gasped "Why?"

He gave a sigh, knowing he's been caught.

"Alright" he said "Yes, I did, but I did it for a good reason."

"I'm listening."

"That full size mirror you saw, that was your mother's mirror when she was in high school. It was her favorite mirror and she would always be looking at herself in it. But when she was put in mirror prison, I was afraid that she would try to find a way to get out through her mirror, so to be safe, I locked her mirror in that secret room. But when you found it, I knew it wasn't safe anymore, so I decided to hide it an abandoned castle in Wonderland, but somehow she still managed to escaped, and now she's here."

"Oh my God" Elena gasped.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you in the first place, but now that she's here, I assure you that you will find a way to stop her before she goes too far, and who knows, maybe the only way to stop her is that if you embrace your destiny."

And with that he walked away, leaving Elena thinking of what he said. If she follows her mother's footsteps and become evil, will she be able to stop her own mother?

At the 'Wonder diner', Andy was on his phone with his cup pf hot chocolate next to him as Bridget entered and sat in the seat in front of him.

"Hey" she said.

"Hey" he said back.

"Thanks for meeting me here."

"No problem, now what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Okay" she sighed "Do you like?"

"What?"

"Do you like me?"

"Of course, why would you ask that?"

"You sure you don't like another girl?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Okay I'm just gonna say it" she sighed "I know that you and Rachel slept together."

Andy's eyes widen.

"Uh..." he said as he tried to hide his nervous look "What?"

"You don't have to deny it, Reyna overheard Rachel saying that you two slept together while rehearsing for your play."
