Ever After High x Twisted Wonderland AU

Headcanons part 5: Apple's happily ever after

Warning: English is not my first language so sorry if it's confusing!

This is a rather special part, this consist of a two parts! They will focus on two possible paths concerning Apple White's fate!

I decided to do this so like that anyone who use the AU can decide if they want Apple to had a redemption(Apple's happily ever after) or to keep her in the salt(Apple's badly ever after).

So here we go with the first part which focus on the first possible path: Apple's redemption!

--------------------------------------------------

-After the failure of Raven's kidnapping aptemt and the "Apple overblot fiasco", Snow White, headmaster Grimm and an inconsious Apple teleport back to Ever After High to try to make a new plan to fix this mess only to be welcomed by angry teachers and a pissed off Snow White's husband.

-Turn out that minutes after they left, hedmaster Crowley, with the Evil Queen's help, contacted Snow White's husband and explained to him what his wife, daughter and the headmaster Grimm tried to do.

-First he was angry, but when he saw how bad mentally his daughter got, he was more than pissed off at his wife and headmaster Grimm.

-The two tried to justify themself but Snow White's husband would have none of it: Apple, his precious daughter, was hurt because of his wife's and headmaster Grimm's nonsense and need to be healed right now.

-Without any hesitation he take Apple from Snow White and bring her right away to the hospital.

-At the hospital, while Apple is treated, the doctor and Apple's father talk about Apple's state.

-Physically she don't had any serious enjury and should quickly heal, but the same thing can't be said for her mental state.

-Long short story: Apple's obsession over her destiny and the delusion feeding from her mother and headmaster Grimm heavely damaged her mind to the point of broken her.

-She needed mental help to completly heal and for that the doctor recommend Apple's father to send her in a good mental institution and far far away from the White kingdom and Ever After High, those environement being way too toxic for Apple to heal correctly.

-Meanwhile Apple was satting in her hospital room staring at the window while thinking about all what happened.

-She couldn't understand how this could have happen! When did this truly turned wrong? When did Raven switched from the villain to the hero and her from the hero to the villain? It wasn't right! She was the future Snow White, the fairest of them all! Surelly she was the good guy right?

-But then memories of her past actions flashed through her eyes, the way she treated Raven, how she had treated everyone in school even her best friends forever after, her overcentred behavior.

-She realized in horror how much she hurt everyone around her, why did this happen? Have she had been so obsessed with her happy ending that she become no better than the Evil Queen? How can this be possible?

-She remember the verbal confrontation between her mother, headmaster and the headmaster Crowley with headmaster Crowley telling them that her state and all the mess which come with it was their fault and even accused them to had corrupted the old stories to the point of making them losing their meanings and making them just shallow pretty titles. But she didn't understant what he was meaning by this how can her tale, her destiny, can be corrupted?

-She saw beside her a little bookcase filled with books which some are provided by the hospital and some which have been forgotten by former patients but never claimed back.

-She noticed a book with "Snow White" written on it, curious she pick it and realized it was an essaie about her tale or rather about the original Snow White's tale.

-The essaie was analysing the meanings of the tale with as a base the question "What make Snow White more beautiful than the Evil Queen?" and goes on explaning about Snow White's pure heart, how her kindness, empathy and generosity made her way more genuinely loved by her peers than the Evil Queen who despiste being very beautifull was bad and vile.

-Apple thinked about what she read, she hadn't indeed be kind with her peers for a long time and know she think about it the more she think about her mother the more she realize that "kindness", "empathy" and "generosity" didn't fit her either.

-She ended up crying, she feel like a fake, like her mother, her family, her lineage, her whole life was a lie and that same lie made her lost everything: her future, Daring, all her friends.

-She thinked about Raven, who was very nice despiste who her mother was, a girl with who she could have been friend if she hadn't be so selfish and prideful.

-Also, she don't know if it was due to her damaged mind but when she thinked about when she saw Raven when she tried to kidnap her she swore that her hair were darker, her white skin sparkling as snow and her lips having a more reddish shade and surrounded by people who care about her and who would protect her at all cost.

-Maybe Duchess was right? Maybe all this was signs that Raven would make a better Snow White? Maybe she doesn't deserve this destiny after all?

-Some times later Snow White visited her daugter, just as she entered the room she goe all over dramatic saying to Apple to not worry, that they will find a solution and force Raven to come back and that once she got her happy ending everything will come back to normal.

-But in Apple's mind it was grotesque! How can things be back to normal when nothing was normal at the start? How can things be normal when it was nothing but a lie? and she snapped, she beging screaming at her mother to stop with her delusions! How she don't want to go after Raven! How she don't want to keep living a life which is nothing but a lie and for getting a tittle she doesn't deserve!

-Snow White shocked tried to calm her down but Apple was having none of it, she become more aggressive, yelling, screaming at Snow White to get out, to leave her alone.

-At the same times, Apple's father and some nurses stormed in the room after being alerted by Apple's screams and while the nurses tried to calm down Apple, her father angry made Snow White leave the room and after an argument in which Snow White stubbornly stated that Apple was okay and just needed to follow her destiny, that was the last straw for Apple's father who decide to divorce his wife and to fight to had the custody of Apple.

-After rough court legal fights and custody fight, Apple's father got the dicorce in his favor and became the sole legal guardian of Apple much to the horror and wrath of Snow White.

-After that Apple's father withdraw her from Ever After High despite all headmaster Grimm's efforts to keep him from doing it and father and daughter moved to a country far far away from the White kingdom and Apple was then placed in a well reputed mental institution.

-During her stay at the mental institution, Apple spend her days writting as a part of her therapy.

-Most of those writting are letters in which she say to Raven and all of her former classmates how she regret what she had done, how sorry she was and that she don't deserve their friend for the pain she inflicted them.

-At first she planned to send the letters but in the end she didn't had the courage to do it and keep them hidden in her bedroom.

-Finally, after months of therapy Apple was mentally stable enough to leave the institution.

-From here she decided that if she going to had an happy ending, she will create her own, by herself, as herself and not because of a meaningless title.

-She beging practissing her new powers every day and one day she got an invitation to a magical school.(Which magical school is your choice! just not Night Raven College please! I think that for the "Redemption path" it's important for Apple's character to had developpement away from the others EAH characters before she meet them again)

-Before she leave for her new school, she wrote some last letters for Raven and her friends that she finalliy decide to send along with all the others letters she wrote but never send.

-And after this Apple leave for her new school and a new page was turning for her with the hope of a brighter future and for her own true happy ending.
