Twisted | An eah x twst tale

Everyone was talking all at once expect the beautiful man, who was too stunned and was still processing what just happened.

Crowley tried to clear his throat to get everyone's attention, which obviously didn't work. "SILENCE." he shouted which brought the spotlight onto him.

"Well, you heard the mirror. Raven here is in Pomefiore. Vil would you escort her to your dorm." He looked at the beautiful man, who was still spaced out. "Vil!"

The beautiful man, apparently named "Vil" snapped out of his trance, jumping a bit. "Ah, yes! Hello Ms. Queen, my name is Vil Schoenheit, I'll be your dorm leader for the next year." He really fit his dorm, he looked almost ethereal.

"Raven's fine." How many times will she have to tell people that?

"Well then, follow me Raven." He said as he led her to their dorm.

When they were transported via mirror, Raven expected something like a basic big house, or perhaps a mansion. Definitely not a whole castle. The walls were stone, and they looked clean, and the ceiling was a cool, purple. It looked about 3 stories high, and there's a big red banner with the word "Pomefiore". Raven stared, not bothering to hide her shock. "Is th-"

"This is our dorm, yes." replied Vil.

Raven felt her face get hot, he probably thought she was stupid or lame for not expecting a castle while she's literally royalty.

Her worries went away when they were interrupted by his voice. "Don't worry, most first years react like that when they see your dorm, here and in other dorms. Come along now! I must introduce you to everyone!" He opened the gate and stepped on dorm grounds.

Raven let out a sigh of relief as she followed him onto the grounds and into the dorm itself. Everything looked so fancy.

Not only did everything looked fancy, everyone looked fancy as well. They all wore stunning blue and red robes and had flawless skin. Raven swore she saw a few sparkles.

Vil clapped his hands twice and immediately the attention was on him. Raven had to admit, Vil seems intimidating just from looks alone. He cleared his throat. "Everyone, I would like you to meet the first ever girl at NRC, a descendant of the Beautiful Queen, Raven Queen!" He stepped aside so that they all could see her.

All of the dorm members shoved Vil to the side and rushed to the girl starting to bombard her with questions and compliments.

"Wow, your eye shape is gorgeous.."

"What's your skincare routine?"

"What's it like coming from a royal bloodline, especially the Beautiful Queen's bloodline?"

Raven never really had much time to answer each question, for they just kept on coming at her. One kid noticed this, a short, lavender haired boy saw how uncomfortable she was.

The boy walked up to their dorm leader and whispered something in his ear. The blonde nodded and stood up, clapping twice. Once again, the attention was temporarily on him. "Why don't we let Raven have some adjust to our dorm before she answers all your questions. She'll be here for the rest of the year after all. Speaking of adjusting.. Rook!"

Raven had recognized that name. The same bobbed boy from the same morning was leaning on the wall. "Yes, Roi Du Posion?"

"Take Raven to her new room, your original one from this year."

The hatted blonde nodded. "I understand, come with me, Reine Des Corbeaux." He gestured for her to follow her.

She joined the man as they walked through the sparkling halls. Raven chuckled, "it's kind of funny isn't it?"

"Hm?"

"I mean," started Raven. "The fact that we already met, and now we're in the same dorm."

"I'm not quite surprised you're in this dorm, I'm more surprised that you just so happen to be descended from the Beautiful Queen."

"Oh, I have a question about that."

"Ask away Reine Des Corbeaux."

"You heard me mentioning coming from another world while you were in the nurse's office with me right?" asked Raven.

"Yes?"

"Well, over there she's not called the Beautiful Queen, instead she's called the Evil Queen, and is hated by all.." Raven look at the ground and back to him.

The blonde looked shocked, almost disgusted. "Really? That's terrible.."

"Yeah, and a big portion of Ever After, including Ever After High, is ruled by Snow White... and lets just say the students aren't the nicest to people like me.." Raven gave a small giggle, as if she was trying to lighten the mood. "Anyways! Back to my question, why do you call her the "Beautiful Queen?" she asked.

Rooks expression was sad and filled with pity. "Because we celebrate how hardworking she was and her passion, clearly something nobody is this "Ever After" has recognized. Oh my, we've arrived already!" Rook handed her a key. "Don't loose it, Reine Des Corbeaux." He started to walk away.

"Oh! Wait!" called Raven.

"Yes?" Rook turned his head a bit, not all the way though.

"Thank you! For before and now.."

"You're welcome your majesty." Rook then continued to walk down the hall.

Raven closed her door and looked around, it was big, and considering it was someone older's original room probably means it's a special room. Raven was starting to feel more like Apple than herself.
