Apple... I'm... flattered you think so highly of me. But I don't want you to follow my destiny, dear, I want you to forge your own! You're a smart girl, far smarter than me, you're a kind girl, and a sweet one too! I don't want you to feel the pain I did and I most certainly don't want your friend Raven to live with that guilt on her shoulders of hurting a loved one.
[Not that her stepmother had any shred of guilt on the matter.]
Simply because someone is supposed to do it doesn't mean they should. She doesn't HAVE to hurt you if that is something she doesn't want to do. What does hurting you do? A happily ever after doesn't come simply because you follow someone else's actions. You must make your own happily ever after.
