How the Bird fit the Crown

The Evil Queen: Part 2

"I can't believe this, my mother is back and guess what? She needs something from me..." Raven complained out loud as she packed her purse with stuff she needed. Dexter slumped on her bed while Bunny and Apple leaned against her bannister.
"And what exactly does she need?" Bunny asked.
"She needs me to go to the Mirror Realm and get her enchanted mirror from her story." She closed her purse and patted Nevermore on her head.
"But why would you even do that?" Apple said confused. Dexter sighed and got up from her bed.
"Because if she doesn't do this, she will manipulate the magic from the tablet within Raven to become purely evil and do her bidding." He said holding her hand. She gave his hand a light squeeze.
" she only wants her mirror because it's the only thing missing from her prison. The one thing she cares about the most..." Raven looked off into the sky as her words got softer. Everyone looked down and felt bad for Raven, her mother barely cared about her. Raven snapped back to reality and put on her shoes.
"I will be back in a day or two, Cedar Wood will be taking care of Nevermore so she is taken care of." Nevermore yawned and went back to sleep.
"I'm going with you Raven." Dexter stated but Raven shook her head.
"No Dex it's too dangerous! It's dark and filled with Black Magic, I'm not even sure I can find it myself." She pondered this to herself.
"Then I'm tagging along. I can get from point A to point B no matter where I am!" Bunny exclaimed but Raven backed away.
"You guys don't get it! It is nothing like Ever After! I don't want anything bad to happen to you guys so I must go alone. Who knows what will happen?" She held her hands to her heart. The only time she was ever in the mirror realm was to visit her mother when she was 12. It was brief but the things she saw would stick with her for life.
"Which is exactly why I'm going with you. Your the love of my life Raven and I couldn't live with myself if something bad happened to you. No arguing, I'm going." He pulled her in for a tight hug and a quick kiss. Raven sighed and saw Bunny and Apple aweing at the cuteness of Raven and Dexter.
"I'm coming too. Just don't tell Alistair, he would go crazy if he found out I was in the Mirror Realm." They all giggled.
"Thanks you guys, Apple I know you have student council so you don't have to be dragged along." Apple smiled but then got an idea.
"But if it is a dark place I know someone who is perfect to blend in the shadows! I will text her to meet you by the forbidden mirror room." She grabbed her phone and walked out of the room. They all shrugged and grabbed their stuff. Try set off to the forbidden mirror room where Raven speaks to her mother once a month.

"Okay guys, are you sure good to go?" Raven said to Bunny and Dexter. They both nodded as Raven looked into the magic mirror. Soon a shadow looking figure approached.
"Apple texted me. I'm ready to go." Raven and Bunny were startled along with Dexter as Cerise was the figure. Maybe they needed her after all. She looked into her basket but soon groaned to herself as she whipped out her mirrorphone.
"I forgot my water bottle. My roommate Melody will grab it for me real quick, sorry about that." She said as she sent the text and put away her phone. Soon a noise was heard from the stairs in the tower as Nevermore burst through the door on a leash, dragging Cedar behind her.
"I'm sorry Raven, I took her for a walk like you said but she must have wanted to see you go." Cedar said as she got up from the floor and dusted herself off. Nevermore jumped onto Raven and licked her face multiple times. Raven snuggled her but soon put her back down. Melody Piper soon came running up the same stairs holding a water bottle for Cerise.
"Here you go, good luck on your quest fairytales." Melody said with a wink. Raven soon pulled out a white sparkling power and poured some into her hand.
"This will transport us into the Mirror Realm. Now I will give-" before she could finish that thought, Nevermore sniffed the powder. Suddenly, she gave a huge sneeze sending the powder flying forward into everyone in the room. Bunny, Cedar, Dexter, Cerise, Melody, and Raven soon were glowing and poofed leaving just a smoke cloud in their place. Nevermore sniffed and blinked twice as she now saw no one in the room but herself. She sniffed around but a kettle soon fell from a box on the other side of the room . Startled, Nevermore cried and scurried out of the room.

"What's Happening?" Cedar cried out as the smoke encased them in a dark hurricane like state. They were all surrounded by bright lightning and were wrapped with the thick ebony fog. The winds were so powerful that the powerful grip Raven had on Dexter's hand slipped through and they were flying in circles.
"Raven!" Dexter yelled out but Raven couldn't see him or anything for that matter. They all felt a tingling feeling creep up in their bodies and tried to breath in the sea of black smoke.
" Hold on! " Raven tried to yell. She attempted to open her eyes but it was all a dark blur.
"To what?!" Cerise yelled back. The pressure of the wind, smoke, and lightning was too much for them, they soon blacked out and let the storm carry them...

.... to the Mirror Realm.
