Twisted Afters: An Ever After High Fanfiction

Chapter 8

"Ugh my hair is so bad." Rosabella said to herself. She pulled out a little compact mirror and adjusted her bangs.
"Were supposed to go east!" Kitty yelled.
"I'm telling you it's west!" Alistair yelled back. Rosabella rolled her eyes and set her focus back to her bangs.
Bzzt.
Her mirror buzzed.
Rosabella shrieked and threw her mirror to the ground. She slowly picked it off of the ground and observed it. "Rosabella!" It buzzed again, but spoke her name. This time she screamed even louder and chucked it at a tree.
"You okay over there?" Cerise peeped.
"Uh, yea!" Rosabella nervously said. She quietly went over to the tree and picked up her mirror once again.

"Okay, what in Bookend is going on." She said to the mirror. All of a sudden a black swirl filled her mirror. "Rosabella, can you hear me?" Hunter appeared in her mirror. "Hunter?!" She screamed.
"Shh! Not so loud!" He said.
"Oh, sorry. Well, what are you doing in my mirror?" She whispered/yelled.
"I need your help. I work for Raven as you know and she's getting out of hand." Hunter explained. "What do you mean out of hand?" Rosabella questioned.
"She's becoming more dark each day. I've never seen her like this before. She's becoming too much like her mother."
Rosabella bit her lip. It seems like the circumstances are more worse than everyone thought.

"How do you want me to help?" She asked.
"Because your daughter of Beauty and the Beast, and you just finished your destiny, you've got beasts down packed. Raven recently took Dexter hostage and I see a soft spot in her because of him. I just need you to be a nudge. Yknow?"
"So theoretically, you want me to do me story again, but Raven as a beast?" Rosabella questioned.
Hunter nodded.
Rosabella sighed. "Fine."
"Great!" Suddenly Hunter disappeared from the mirror, and so did Rosabella.

Dexter took out his solid gold pocket watch  from his pocket.

7:46 pm.

Dexter sighed.
It was a sigh of relief and of stress. Apple was probably worried sick about him.

"Give me a break." He thought. "I never really loved her that way."

He could have been on his way to a getaway castle in the enchanted Mountains for his honeymoon, but instead he was stuck in a freezing, dusty cell. He shrugged off the thought and propped his feet up on a brick ledge.

Out of nowhere purple dust quickly appeared. Dexter shifted away from it quickly and put his feet down.

The dust soon died down to show the shape of a woman.

"Rosabella?" Dexter said confused.
Rosabella quickly turned around with her eyes wide open. "Dexter are you alright?" She said very quickly while sitting down next to him and observing him head to toe.

"I'm fine. Just glad to see a familiar face." He chuckled. Rosabella kept turning his back and feeling his arm for injury. "After all I heard I just want to make sure your safe that's all." She smiled.

"Well how did you get here?" Dexter said, changing the subject.
Rosabella face palmed herself. "Hunter scared the Wonder out of me and appeared in my hand mirror. Then he went on babbling how I need to help with Raven and hook you up- I mean, free you and some other stuff..." Rosabella said, rushing the last part. "But then I agreed and out of nowhere he, I don't know took me here! I didn't even get to say goodbye to Daring!" She quivered.

"How is Daring by the way?" Dexter added.
"Oh he's the sweetest thing ever." Rosabella smiled.
Dexter tried to hold in a laugh but failed.
"Scuse me, go on." He said, holding a fist to his laugh. Rosabella rolled her eyes. "Nothing much has changed between us. After our marriage we quickly began on our own home; decorating and cleaning."

"That's your preference for a honeymoon?" Dexter scowled. "It's more fun with the one you love. You'll understand when Raven and yo-" Rosabella quickly stopped her sentence before going to far.

Dexter looked at her in an off way but shrugged it off. Rosabella had a wave of relief. Part of the process is to let love come naturally.

Hunter threw a stone on Ashlynn's balcony door. He waited for an answer and threw another one. This time she opened the door. "Shh! Are you trying to get me caught?" Ashlynn whispered. Hunter shrugged. "I threw small stones." Ashlynn playfully rolled her eyes and carefully climbed over the hand rail. "Your gonna catch me, right?" She asked. Hunter nodded. Ashlynn let go and fell into his arms. "Thank you." She smiled. "Always here to help, Princess." He said letting her come down. Ashlynn flattened out her dress. "Where are you going to take me?" Hunter grinned. "It's a surprise, but your going to remember." Ashlynn nodded and let him lead the way. In an incredibly short amount of time Hunter stopped, signifying that they reached their destination. Ashlynn squinted. "I don't see anything that I remember." Hunter moved a branch that was in front of a tree trunk. Hidden beneath it was a heart carved in with both of their initials inside it. Ashlynn put her hand over her mouth. "Our carving from high school! I can't believe you found it!" "Took me forever after to find it." Hunter said. Ashlynn wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you thank you thank you!" Hunter embraced her happiness.
"Your welcome Ashlynn."
