Decisions Decisions (Raven Queen and Dexter Charming EAH Fanfiction) [Complete]

Chapter 16

Dexter
I turned and marched to the center of the battle, Raven's singing floating through my head. Who was I to chose between two girls, who lives or dies?
I was Dexterous Charming, certified geek, not as good as his brother, tired and bloody and done. I was done. So many had died, so many teenagers. It wasn't fair to any of them.
We're just kids.
Raven or Lavender?
Queen or Grimm?
Love or Loss?
Rebel or Rebel?
Ironic, that it had come down to a battle between those of the same kind. It felt like two years had passed since we would bicker in the hallways. Royal vs Rebel.
God, I missed those days where my lovesick heart would wander and Raven Queen seemed infallible and my brother's smile never faded. I knew I would never see that again. I might never see Raven again.
Rebel or Rebel?
I closed my eyes.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" A familiar and chilling voice crooned. In that moment, I almost made up my mind. Then I remembered  Grimm's heartbroken plea.
"Just save my little girl Dexterous Charming."
Raven wasn't anyone's little girl. Her mother was sick and twisted, and barely cared for her. Of course, Raven had her friends, but also an existence where she was bound to always run into hate and isolation. Perhaps, she'd be better off gone forever.
But that's not your decision to make, Dexter, I told myself,
"But it is mine." Raven.
Floating above me, cackling, Nevar held aloft the final mirror, and on it the tear-streaked face of my love.
"Dex, my love. Do so much more have to die because you care for me? Please, sacrifice me now, and save everyone else!"
I began to cry too. I was so tired of this sh*t. Why couldn't anything go right?
"I can't do that, I can't kill." I told her.
Nevar laughed, "Oh this is just beautiful! Too cute! The hero boy, the lesser Charming, can't kill his girlfriend, even when she begs him to. Wonder what else he can't do for her when she begs."
Her cronies roared with glee. I winced.
"Dexter" Raven said, frustrated.
"Raven." I whispered back, annoyed that she thought it would be easy to kill her.
"Aww, just like the old married couple they'll never be!"
And she was right, I would probably never get to grow old with Raven Queen either way. Either she does or she-
"Lavender."
Grimm. I forgot about Grimm. Wasn't Blonde watching him? Where was she?
"Oooh hi!" Nevar wiggled her fingers at him. "Look at me!" She spun in a circle, "Aren't I just exactly what you wanted? Aren't you just so proud?"
He looked sick.
"Lavender, please. What would your mother think?"
"Oh, I think Lavender's mother would feel sick to her heart knowing what you've done to her baby girl. But not matter, they're both dead now!"
"I'm so sorry Lav, I'm so sorry princess!"
My heart broke all over again. But Nevar rolled her eyes.
"Ugh, I'm getting sick of all this whining! Just shut up!"
"Lavend-"
A shock of electric purple light.
No!
Grimm crumpled to the ground. I was so focused on running to him, I didn't see Nevar crumple too. A groan from behind drove me to switch my tracks.
She had lovely long red hair and bright eyes. Her face was strong and thin. She was Lavender Grimm.
"Daddy? Oh no! Oh no Daddy! What happened? Somebody help him! Somebody, please!" I felt like I had been shot through the heart upon hearing her anguished screams. She pushed herself up and stumbled towards him, but her legs collapsed under her.
"Daddy!"
I turned and saw the remains of the last mirror, which had slipped out of Nevar-Lavender's hands.
Broken glass, strewn like the pieces of my heart across the ground.
I guess there are no happy endings.

---------
I'm sorry, I'm a terrible author. Thank you, if you've stuck with me. I'm two years older, two years better, and two years over EAH. I have no idea what's going on in the universe rn. I'm sorry, I guess.
I felt very bad about leaving this here, so I finally finished it. This fanfic was started when I was young, and has remained unfinished through three grades, two boyfriends, four musicals, a duel with bullying friends, a near-kidnapping, and a finding of someone. I'm not sure if she's me yet.
Thanks for being a part of that journey,
Callie.
