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

Ch.65 Finally a couple

Elena continued to go after Mira through the woods, but each time she tried to stop her with her magic, Mira would always duck and move out of the way of Elena's magic. But just as Elena was staring to get tired of running, Olivia stuck her leg out from behind a tree and tripped Mira as the urn flew out of her hands. Olivia quickly grabbed the urn and tossed it at Elena as Mira got up.

"Don't come any closer" Elena frowned as she held her hand out in defense with the urn tucked in her other arm.

Mira gave a small laugh with a smirk.

"You think you've won Raven?" she smirked "This isn't over yet."

"Oh it'll be over when I say it's over."

"Well then, I guess we'll do this the hard way."

And with that Mira used her powers to grip Terrence's neck as she started to choke him.

"Terrence!" Elena screamed as she was about to use her powers to stop Mira.

"Not so fast Raven" Mira said "You don't need to use your powers for this, all you have to use is your instincts. Give me the urn, and I'll let him go, it's that simple."

Elena's eyes widen as she turned to Terrence who was suffering from Mira's strangle.

"So what do you say dear?" Mira said with a sneaky smile "Give me the urn, and he'll be free."

"Elena- don't" Terrence said as he chocked.

"Shut up four eyes" Mira frowned as she turned back to Elena "So what's it gonna be?"

Elena gave Mira a mad look as she thought about it.

"If I give you the urn" she said "You'll let him go? You promise that?"

"A deal is a deal" Mira said with a sneaky look.

Elena then gave a sigh "Alright."

"That's my girl" Mira grinned as she held out her hand.

Elena gave another sigh as she handed Mira the urn as she let go of Terrence as he gasped for air.

"Well then" Mira said as she held onto the urn "Now I think it's time for me to get back to business."

And with that she started to run away. But Elena wasn't gonna let her get away with it, so she went after her.

"Try all you want Raven" Mira said as she turned to her behind her to face Raven "But nothing can stop me."

But at that point, Mira tripped over something sticking out of the ground as she began to topple down a hill as the urn rolled out of her hands. Elena watched as Mira continued to roll down the hill until she finally came to a stop. At that point Darling took the cuffs from Elena and hurried to Mira as she quickly put the cuffs on her and hoisted her up.

"Looks like that rolling down the hill stopped you" Elena smirked as Darling held onto Mira.

Olivia then picked up the urn and handed it to Elena.

"I guess I'll be getting rid of this now" Elena told Mira "And just so you know mother, now it's over."

Mira gave a grunt as everyone left the forest. Once they got back into town, Mira was thrown in a jail cell with the cuffs still on her since she wasn't able to take them off. Elena had given the urn to Mr. Gold who placed it in the back of his shop. After all of that, Elena decided to hang out the 'Wonder diner' for a bit before she went home. But as she was drinking her smoothie on the counter, Terrence came in and sat next to her.

"Hey" he said.

"Oh hey" she said back.

"So Mira's in jail now huh?"

"Yeah" she sighed.

"How long is she gonna be there?"

"I don't know, but I just hope that if she does get out, she wont try to go all evil again."

"I doubt it."

"Yeah" she agreed with a small smile "Oh by the way, I wanna thank you again for saving me from that tree."

"No problem" he smiled "That's what Charmings do. But I never got a chance to thank you for saving my ass from Mira."

"Well your welcome" Elena smiled "I mean I wasn't gonna let her kill you."

"Has she ever killed anyone before?"

"She's the Evil Queen, she's been a murderer from the beginning, what do you expect?"

"Right" he said remembering.

Elena then looked at the time on her phone.

"Well I should get going" she said as she got up.

"Wait hold on" Terrence stopped her as he got "It's Friday, can't you stay for a bit?"

"Oh okay."

"Great cause there's something I have to tell you."

"Well I'm listening."

"Okay" he said with a nervous look "You know how much I like you right?"

"I'm gonna say a lot" Elena smiled.

"Yeah well, more than that. Elena you're like the greatest girl I've ever met, and if I could dream of the perfect girl, all I could think about is you."

Elena gave a big smile as she felt her heart flutter.

"And even though there may not be such thing as the perfect girl" he continued "I know that you'll always be my number one. So I was wondering, can we stop this complicated relationship already? I know that we both really like each other, right?"

"Duh" Elena giggled.

"Okay great. Anyway, can we put this complicated relationship to an end and be a couple already? If you don't want to that's fine, but just saying. We don't really have to be together right now. So uh, what do you say Elena, you wanna become a couple now?"

Elena gave a smile as she leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips. After she pulled away, Terrence's eyes were widen as he started to blush.

"So is that a yes or a no?" he asked.

"Yes obviously" Elena giggled as she pulled him into another kiss.

As they continued to kiss, both of them felt so relieved to finally have this moment ever since back at Ever After.

"Whoa" Lauren said as Elena and Terrence pulled away "I walked in at the right time."

Elena and Terrence gave small laughs as Elena then grabbed his hand.

"Come on" she said as she pulled him out of the diner.

Now outside, the pair held hands as they went down the sidewalk. After all this time of waiting, the two were finally a couple now.

So glad that Elena and Terrence finally kissed. Epilogue coming next
