[Name] stared at the people below her as she bit her lip as she headed over to the platform of the quartz stage as she took a sharp breath in as she stood in front of a podium. The scene takes place under a dusky, gradient sky that transitions from deep purple at the top to lighter pink hues near the horizon as lightning stroke behind her as she held her hands close to herself as a form of comfort.

Framing the center of the large stage were ornate picture frame liked mirrors floating mid-air. These golden gilded frames are elaborately detailed with swirls and flourishes, housing portraits of [Name] in their outfit. Each portrait is identical showing [Name] standing their on the stage in front of the podium.

The central architectural feature is a large, open book structure, its curved pages forming a bridge-like stage. The book features intricate crest-like symbols and patterns along its spine and cover further enhancing its magical appearance. Flanking the book like stage are delicate arches covered with vines wrapped around the arch way. Silhouettes of figures below in the seats were staring up at the stage.

"I am [Name] Queen... Daughter of the Evil Queen" She looked around before diverting her attention to the side speaking with a solemn voice "And I pledge-" a silence rang out for a moment before she spoke once more "I uhm" A girl with snow white skin and blonde curled hair smiled with a happy expression gesturing the girl to go on "come on! do it" she said cheering the girl as y/n felt her dress to feel more uncomfortable as if the weight of the accessories held her down with the dress is fabrics clung to her skin tighter as if she couldn't breathe.

[Name] glanced over to her other side to headmaster grim a male dressed in a blue coat and light greyish blue vest with a light blue ascot with a golden decoration with a red stone on it. He has a dark grey mustache, green eyes and dark grey hair with lighter stripes. He also wears a golden ring in the shape of a mirror. He's also rather stout, at least in the stomach area, from the side who let out a huff with furrowed rows staring at her.

She stared at a floating key that summoned as she opened her hand letting it drop onto her palm as she stared at it's black and purple swirl as she looked towards the book on the podium. The Storybook of Legends laid there a hardcover book with pages containing the stories and the students taking up the roles of the characters in the fairy tale.

On it's front cover was a shiny mirror-like compartment in the center front cover of the book, along with a keyhole with a magical key required to open the book for signing. The crest of Ever After is embedded on the top, above the mirror. The magical key appears once a student pledges, and the Storybook flips itself to the page of the signer.

She paused as she twisted the key into the book as pages flipped showing her story on how she will be the next evil queen with how her life will end up as each page flipped and turned her shoulders tightened and her grip on her palms turned sweaty nails digging into her skin as she stared at the small signature box that was left on the bottom right corner of each page, for the specific student to sign. Some pages from major fairy tales are displayed by the headmaster's office, taken from the Storybook of Legends. Physically, the book is maroon-colored with golden embellishments on each corner.

[Name]'s eyes widened to see the last page of her homeless and in struggle as her face dropped biting her lip distress on her face as she shakily looked up to the mirror in front of her that showed herself. The ornate's swirling golden frame encloses a vivid and almost ethereal depiction of a character in distress.

[Name]'s appearance hued with magenta and swirls of colors of purple as she was bounded, exudes a sense of urgency and confinement. Appearing shackled with glowing magical chains encircling her wrists and neck.

Her expression is one of shock or fear, with wide pleading eyes and a slightly open mouth that conveys a sense of desperation. Wearing gothic clothing with feathery, jagged edges along with The glowing chains with purple energy that bounded her down as a small gasp came from her lips as her eyes widened as a quill also appears for the stage of signing.

Her e/c eyes diverted around the page gripping onto the podium with a feeling of angst as her eyes stared back to the book and the quill hovering before she reached out and pulling back her eyebrows furrowed as she went back to facing forward as her body loosened up as she spoke "I am [Name] Queen and I'm going to write my own destiny" she exclaimed as the mirrors that were floating shined brighter as they shook slightly as she grabbed the Story book of legends is front cover "My happily ever after starts Now" in a quick motioned her hand slammed the book shut as the bright pink mirror on the front cover glinted for a moment as the mirrors that surrounded the area vibrated before shattering.

Fragments of glass dropped to the floor below and onto the stage as she heaved gasps of shock and cheers were heard from the crowd below. [Name]'s eyes widened before she heaved and relaxed her body feeling lighter as her lips twitched up eyes widening checking her hands "I- I did it I'm still here" she quickly snapped her focused to headmaster Grim "I didn't disappear" headmaster grim eyebrows furrowed with his emerald eyes stared down at her with edge as she glared back harshly.

She couldn't help but flinch for a moment at a voice calling out "How could you be- so- So selfish" A girl with bright blue eyes with skin as pale as snow her lips coated with a red lipstick that was suppose to support her smile yet it was twisted to a harsh frown her curls blonde curls bouncing as her eyes were tearing up. A loud booing was heard from a half of the crowd below as another part was cheering at [Name].

[Name] spoke quickly "I'm sorry apple but I-" she took a sharp breath in yet the noise was too loud for her to think as if they continued to swarm around her making pressure getting added to the back of her throat as if not having the choice to speak out was withholding her back.

[Name] snapped her head to the crowd gripping her fists angrily as she let out a noise of annoyance turning around as she spoke loudly as her hands started to glow a violaceous flame "Hold everything" The purple hued flame shot out of her hands growing in size as it shot down to the crowd and people around her as she froze seeing everything freeze around her, [Name] couldn't help but be stunned staring at her palms and the flames that vanished "I didn't know I could do that..." her e/c eyes filled with sorrow as she looked back over her shoulder to Apple with a look of sadness.

She sighed raising her hands facing forward to apple as the familiar coloured hue of her magic shot to the girl from her finger tips Apple is frozen stature went back to normal as she blinked her sky blue eyes at the h/cnette with various purple highlights "I'm sorry apple" [Name] uttered staring at the girl.

Her eyes diverted to the ground and back up to the girl "but I don't want anyone to tell me who I want to be. I wanna figure that out on my own" [Name] stated hands going to her chest staring at the blonde with eyes filled with determination and honesty "and don't you understand?" she muttered gesturing to the girl in front of her who was staring at her with sadness "I'm not the only one who can choose their own destiny now we all do" she gestured to everybody who was frozen and stared back to the girl hoping she'd understand her view of the situation "even you" she stated.

Apple stared at [Name] with wide eyes before speaking "I don't want to choose a new destiny" Apple rebutted as she teared up more as her eyebrows furrowed "I liked what I had and because of you" she pointed her finger towards [Name] who flinched back slightly her eyes widening "It might not happen" "It might" [Name] suggested hand to her chest as she went to reach her hand to comfort apple but pulled it back as apple sobbed quietly "I don't know... I just don't know" apple walked off as [Name] stared at her retreating figure with sadness before taking a sharp inhale and looking at the crowd her lips slightly lifting up from seeing maddie cheering her on frozen as she undid the spell on her bff.

A noise came from Maddie as she got unfrozen from the crowd before [name] grinned at her petite shorter friend who popped up right beside her "wahh! your here no poof Poof POOF! YAY!" the girl cheered hand sin the air being ecstatic and hyper as always as [name] laughed "I know! it feels good" she smiled eyes closed as she let out a sigh of relief talking to Maddie.

Head master grim stood in front of a window as lightning struck with rain hitting the cold glass as his hands were behind his back eyebrows furrowed "[Name] does not know the forces she has released" he spoke to himself with furrowed brows letting in a sharp inhale as he watched the rain leave it's marks on his window.

"It must be contained before the dangerous idea spreads" he shook his fist before flinching when a laugh came from a mirror to his right side as a woman's malicious laugh echoed the mirror shining and glittering with a white glow slightly with each noise of the laughter head master grim flinching back as lightning struck.

Yet it wasn't only was a Womans laugh a crow like laugh was also heard too on par with a males behind the female laugh. Headmaster Grim's eyebrows furrowed at the voice as he looked back out at the window gulping.

๋࣭ ⭑ ❝ 【Time Skip after E.A.H events】❞𝜗𝜚˚⋆

[Name] sighed as she finished the whole ordeal with throne coming, going into wonderland, stopping her mother and reconnecting with her and the events after all that she finally could catch a break to have fresh air after all the destruction, chaos and problems.

The h/cnette was walking up the stairs of the stone tower to visit her mother to have their once a week talks with eachother that she'd give her mother yet when walking up to the top of the attic she paused "Mum?" She called put stepping up the final step boot hitting the wooden floor boards staring towards a part of the room.

A mirror that stood tall and oval-shaped, exuding an air of elegance and mystery. Its frame is a deep rich purple with a highly intricate and ornate design. The frame is adorned with swirling, vine-like patterns that intertwine gracefully, creating a sense of movement and fluidity patterns extended outwards in curling tendrils.

At the very top of the mirror the design culminates in a decorative crest, resembling a crown with two raven feathers around. The legs of the mirror are equally ornate, curving outward and continuing the flowing theme of the frame.

A sigh past her lips a puff of cold air shown as she walked over to it yet something felt off with the mirror her mother would usually be doing something in their last time she came by she was on a cycle but due to the dire weather and raining everything felt a-bit more tense the lightning on the glass didn't help either.

[ Name ] walked over hand placing onto the mirror is curves to check to see her mother who would usually greet her inside the glass yet nothing was there. A sigh past her lips as she stepped back staring at her own appearance.

The mirrors glass itself is smooth and reflective framed beautifully by the vivid patterns that seem to almost cradle it as if it were a precious artifact.

[Name] couldn't help but repeat herself while staring at her mirror "Mum? This isn't really funny" she said hand on her hip before smiling softly yet she couldn't see anything her mother didn't appear, no comments, no pampering and praises not anything.

A look of awkwardness reached her face as she looked around and back "I'll come back later" she muttered as she turned around before feeling a gust of wind hit her from the open window in the tower as she held to cover her face as the sound flames erupted from behind her.

Her head snapped to see her mothers mirror floating and shaking swirling in colours before it changed as [Name] jaw dropped stepping back with wide eyes to see the familiar mirror that was suppose to be in her legend originally her mothers.

The once purple mirror changed to a larger oval frame that was gold that curled around the mirror like tendrils the mirror your mother was trapped in was now changed and was in front of her now floating in the air.

Where your reflection should have been, was instead a large wall of green flames that engulfed half of it as her face paled staring at the Mirror confused how could her mothers mirror prison change into the one her mother had talked to before it was shattered long ago.

"Ahh..."

A deep voice began, coming straight from the mirror. [Name]'s e/c eyes widened staring at the mirror that continued speaking the flames flickering

"My cherished benefactor."

"A lovely, wicked bloom that doth nobly enthral."

The mirror moved closer to her causing her to scramble back landing on the floor as she panicked but was frozen staring at the mirror that hovered more closer.

"Truly, thou art the fairest one of all." It continued, slowly floating closer still.

The mirror kept coming closer until it stopped a few inches away from [Name]'s face where it proceeded to hover.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall."

[Name] was stuck frozen as it spoke more before pausing in its speech, almost as if it were aware that it wasn't on a wall.

"Who is the fairest one of all"

Noise was blocked in [Name] is ear as her palms shook she despised the familiar phrase that she heard too many times from Apple in their shared dorm one she hated to listen to especially when she accidentally hexed Apples mirror once and it became mean so she had to pretend to be the mirror to compliment the girls ego. This though? This was different

Out of sheer stress the girl summoned purple flames in her hands staring at the Mirror raising her hands as if she was going to shatter the mirror before freezing when she was met with the sound of the mirror speaking again

"Those who art guided by the Dark Mirror."

The green flames flicking and gripping at the glass from the other side slowly began to fade out as it continued.

"Follow the wish of thine heart, and take the hand thou seest reflected in the looking glass."

At that, the flames fully out and her breath caught in her throat as a hand came into view. It looked as if it was reaching out towards her, but it was waiting for someone to take it. There was something all too familiar about the hand as it waited, something that she just couldn't place as she bit her lip the flames in her hand died down.

She stared at the mirror eyes staring at the glint of a small ring on its finger that caught her attention and it made her bite her lip looking over her shoulder to the stairs she could just go but for some reason the hand was reaching out as if ushering her.

[Name] turned back to the mirror that floated to her still beckoning her forth as she spoke "Mum if this is a prank to get me to let you out I'm going to punch you" [Name] said pausing yet the atmosphere was still tense this was real and she couldn't help but be swayed.

She began to reach out for the hand the one shown in the glass mere centimetres away from you. The words the mirror uttered next feel deaf upon [Name] is ears as her fingertips brushed against the glass pausing before it went through as her eyes widened before shouting in shock when the hand was quick to reach out and grab onto her's, pulling her body through the glass.

The mirror broke with a large shatter and fell to the ground, glass shards scattered all over the ground and curtain the words that were left deaf upon [Name] is ears echoed a warning that was spoken around in the broken glass, never to be heard.

"For I.....And for them.....And for thee.....Little time doth remain. No matter what, take care to never let go of that hand..."

⋆˚࿔ 【 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞‼ - Aftermath Of The Halls 】 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Read The full book on my wattpad

I upload there before tumblr

A males voice filled with annoyance echoed in the hallways "Honestly! This year's orientation was terrible! that boy ruined it!" Riddle stood in the hallway with a scowl plastered on his face fists balled up as if he was going to choke something or someone.

"Now, now." Trey patted a hand on Riddle is the shoulder slightly squeezing it tight the vice-housewarden walking just behind his lower classman smiling softly "We got everything under control, thanks to you Riddle." He added on watching as the red haired male is heart ahoge bobbed.

Riddle turned slightly to look at Trey over his shoulder "Who did that boy think he was?!" Riddle fumed, still not entirely over the mishap from the ceremony. Trey sighed "Riddle-" Riddle cut off Trey still red faced "He was so cocky! That look in his eyes!" "Riddle" Trey repeated trying to get Riddles attention "And don't get me started how cocky he looked when he tackled me- Oh don't get me started when he said that the queen of hearts liked him! Someone our age would never met her unless they were fae and-" "Riddle" Trey said slightly louder making Riddle face his upperclassman with a sour face "He was a She" silence slowly filled the hallways as Riddles red face dimmed blinking at Trey if he just spoke in a differnet language.

Riddle blinked “The boy with h/c hair and purple highlights?” “Yes” “The one who shoved me down?” “Yes Riddle” silence filled the two once more before Trey sighed.

"It was her first day, although I'm not sure if she'll be remaining on school grounds since the Dark Mirror said she was the daughter of a seven... plus crowley was quick to deny it too" He responded hoping that condoling his housewarden would get him in a better mood so he wouldn't be as strict with the new students in the welcoming party.

Trey witnessed how Riddle spoke up once more face not as red as before yet still aggravated "Even so if she was a woman that does not give her an excuse along with that beast that invade the ceramony" Riddle sighed as Trey continued to walk beside Riddle down the hallway tuening a corner "I'm sure Crowley's sorted it all out by now they've most likely been sent home by now and the monster removed from campus." He suggested feeling a little calmer as the redness of Riddle's face faded.

"Yes but If I do recall the mirror has stated quite many things along with the fact you have corrected me that the he is a she... if she was the daughter of a seven which one we must demand from crowley-" "Riddle! Trey!" Riddle was cut off by Cater as the ginger haired male rounded the corner the same time as the two waving a hand at them with a cherry smile "The new students are all assembled for the welcoming party." He hummed.

Riddle nodded his head his own hand placing onto his hip as he stared down the ginger "Thank you for the report, Cater. Has the venue been prepared in accordance with the laws of the Queen of Hearts?" Riddle stared intensly at his upperclassman silver eyes eyeing Caters face "I assume the roses have been painted in an alternating pattern of red and white?"

Cater grinned one hand holding his phone that he moved slightly as he beamed "Naturally! They're perfect"

"Very well" Riddle stated in acknowledgement to the response walking past Cater to resume his trail to the hall of mirrors "Then let us hurry back to the dorms." Riddle froze after a few steps turning to look over his shoulder at his upper classmen with furrowed brows "If I see anymore trouble both of your heads will roll" His voice laced with authority "Remember that." "Yes, Housewarden." The two answered in sync staying still as Riddle turned back away from the both of them and continued to walk down the halls shoes tapping against the floor once more.

Cater let out a soft sigh, shoulders slouching as the smile slid off his face. "Good thing we finished repainting the roses in time..." He whispered reaching up to fiddle with one of the two loose strands that were in his face "You sure work me hard Trey." Trey glanced at the ginger from the corner of his eye giving cager a small smile.

Voice close to a whisper and kept quiet so the younger red haired make wouldn't hear Trey spoke "Thanks for your hard work, Cater." "So where did the girl with highlights go?" Cater questioned quietly having left much earlier than the rest of the students before Crowley had sent them all out of the mirror chamber "Crowley should've sent her back home by now considering what the Dark Mirror said about their soul... though I would of thought he'd let her stay but he went on a tangent about how she was a girl" Trey's answer was flat his eyes focusing on the path in front of him but lingering on the back of Riddle's head in concern.

"Aww... I was hoping I could've gotten a pic with her for Magicam... I could of gotten massive likes" Cater pouted shoulders slouching over a bit more in disappointment "We rarely get freshie's who acutally have good fashion taste" Trey hummed used to Caters constant blabbers about Magicam "Riddle didn't seem very fond of her... even though he thought she was a boy..." He whispered a bad feeling settling in his stomach over how quickly Riddle took a dislike to the girl especially when he saw Riddle nearly lash out on the girl for saying that she knew the queen of hearts and she liked her.

Cater gave the green-haired boy a look before grinning"Chill out, Trey. Riddle's uptight about everything it'll be fineeee." The ginger laughed off glancing over at Riddle to make sure the redhead hadn't heard him before whispering "Plus, we got a party to get too so have some fun and relax for once." Cater suggested wiggling his brows giving his dorm's vice-housewarden an easygoing grin.

"Or~" Cater said in a melody tone "You could always bake some more photogenic dishes..." He suggested giving Trey a shoulder nudge to see if he could pull out a couple more pics for his Magicam posts.

Cater just received a small grin in response Trey adjusting his glasses as he replied "I thought you said all the new Heartslabyul students were gathered and waiting."

Cater flinched at Treys words widening, and eyebrows furrowed as he was gawking at Trey Trey grinned at his friend a smug look forming on his face "I don't think you'll be taking many photos this year since you're suppose to be taking care of all the freshmen Cater." Cater's expression fell as a guilty look spread across his face as he fiddled with a strand of hair again a nervse habit Trey picked up on from his friend "I thought you forgot about that..." He complained earning a small chuckle from Trey.

The sound of Riddle's heels against the tiling came to a halt making both pause their conversation and focus back on their housewarden who'd turned to face them with a harsh glare to make them silent as they returned back to walking

The two stayed quiet following along behind their housewarden one focused on the redhead while the other was focused on his phone tapping his thumb against his screen to distract himself.
