How the Bird fit the Crown

The Evil Queen: Part 3

The smoke cleared and the teens were knocked out cold in a dark and somber landscape. It was cracked and glossy much like enchanted mirrors and seemed barren for miles on end. They all were in new dark looking mirror themed outfits. The sky was like a stormy sunset with purple fog mixed into it. Cedar Wood was the first to wake up followed by Melody Piper, Cerise Hood and Bunny Blanc. They all groaned and got up to see where they were.
"Ugh... were are we?" Cerise growled to herself. She looked at Bunny, Melody and Cedar who looked at her shocked. Cedar cleared her throat.
"Um... Cerise..." Cedar looked around and found one of many large pieces of shattered mirror and held it up to Cerise. Her eyes were full yellow and pupils were extremely dilated... much like her wolf eyes, except these would not go away.
"Ah! They are not going away! What in Ever After is going on? Where's Raven?!" Cerise hollered. She saw a passed out Dexter Charming laying on the ground.
"We should wake him up." Bunny said. Cerise shrugged and kicked Dexter on the shoulder. He jerked up holding his shoulder.
"Ow! What was that-" he stopped talking as he looked around and saw the infamous Mirror Realm landscape.
"...for." He got up and saw how his clothes changed and was too shocked by Cerise's eyes. 
"Where's Raven?" Dexter exclaimed.
"Well she is obviously right next to me Dexter!" Cedar said but soon covered her mouth afterwards. The rest of them gasped, sure it was sarcasm but still... Cedar said a lie! Raven was indeed not next to her, what was going on?
"Cedar you technically just lied!" Melody said. 
"We need to find Raven. Fast." Cerise stated. They all nodded in agreement and looked around for anything in sight. They soon spotted a lone withered tree in the distance with a flock of Ravens surrounding it.
"There!" Bunny said. They all started running towards the tree, see more and more details of their landscape as they ran. It seemed like a fitting place for the Evil Queen to be held prisoner.

They saw a knocked out Raven laying between the branches as the Crystalline Black ravens perched on and around her. They soon stopped right in front and closely inspected it to find... Raven had black and silver angel wings growing on her back. The spread out helping her support her weight on the brittle branches. Soon, a few cracks were heard and the branches snapped leaving the knocked out Raven falling down and the birds screeched and flew away. Dexter caught Raven in his arms before she could hit the ground, he felt the soft feathers from her wings and how they fluttered a bit every time he stroked them. Raven soon coughed and opened her eyes. She saw Dexter looking at her along with Every one else. Dexter put her down on her feet and gave her a tight hug and a quick kiss.
"Raven? We have so many questions..." Dexter said while holding her hand. Raven sighed and shook her wings free of twigs from the tree.
"Welcome to the Mirror Realm." Raven said as she dusted herself off.
They were walking for about an hour in silence towards north. Raven was leading followed by Dexter, Bunny, Melody, Cedar and Cerise. Soon Cedar cleared her throat and walked a little forward ahead.
"So I'm just gonna address the elephant in the... Mirror Realm. How come I can lie? How come Cerise has permanent wolf eyes? How come you have wings?!" Raven sighed and held her arms.
"The Mirror Realm shows... our true selves. My true form has wings along with- other things and Cerise is a wolf and Cedar lies. I don't know what Bunny and Melody can do yet but time will tell." Raven retracted her wings.
"What other things?" Melody asked. Dexter tried to hold her hand but she pulled away and kept walking.
"Look that's not important right now. We need to find my Mother's mirror, that is our ticket back home and my mother will leave me- I mean us alone."   Raven started to erupt purple flames around her Body but after taking in deep breaths, it stopped.
"Where are we even going?" Bunny asked. Raven stopped walking and extended her wings.
"Look I can't control my powers here so just... I don't know just stay close." She said. They all looked confused at each other. Raven flew a few feet up as the wings brought wind blowing onto the teens. She soon closed her wings and fell hard on the ground. As soon as her heels slammed against the cracked ground, the mirror-like ground shattered leaving the teens falling just a thousand feet from the underground world below. As they were falling, they notice the landscape had thousands of black withered trees full of ravens. In the middle stood a giant mirror-like castle covered in a black fog. The turrets were crooked and the towers were slender and tall.
Raven extended her wings and grabbed Dexter and Bunny in her arms and sped down towards the ground as her wings could carry them. She landed them safely and went back for Cedar and Cerise. They held onto Raven for dear life as she landed them too safely on the ground. Melody was only a hundred feet from hitting the ground. Raven stood up and cupped her hands around her mouth.
"SING MELODY SING!!" Raven yelled at the top of her lungs. She yelled so loud that some of the ravens flew off into the horizon.
"WHAT?!" Melody yelled out of confusion. Raven groaned.
"JUST DO IT!!" Raven yelled once more. Melody closed her eyes as she saw herself 50 feet off of the ground. She sand a single tune and suddenly sounds waves from her mouth balanced her in the air. As her voice grew softer, she lowered herself slowly onto the ground. As her heels touched the dark smiley black cobblestone, Melody opened her eyes and noticed she wasn't a pancake.
"But-but how?!" Melody said holding her throat.
"Mirror Realm." Raven stated. They looked upon the castle and saw the giant gate covered in a thick twisted black and thorny vine.
They have found the Evil Queen's prison.
