Ch.1
Theodora stormed into her private chambers fuming. She flicked her wrist and the doors slammed shut behind her.
The witch began pacing around her chambers muttering angrily to nobody. One of her latest schemes to retake the Emerald City had failed.
For almost ten years, she had plotted to retake the Emerald City and kill the Wizard but each of her one of her plans fell short.
She couldn't sneak back into the city without being seen, she couldn't spy on the Wizard because of the powerful wards of magic protecting the city. Lastly, she wasn't strong enough.
She had to not only contend with the Wizard but with Glinda as well.
The two of them together are far more powerful than Theodora could hope to be. Theodora could turn to Evanora for help but her sister was never in a cooperative mood. Ever since she lost her powers, Evanora spent most of the time blaming Theodora for their misfortunes and unleashing her pent up rage on the Munchkins in the east.
After several minutes of pacing and trying to come up with a new plan of conquest, Theodora threw herself down on her bed groaning in frustration.
No matter how much she plotted or tried, she will always lose.
She had her army of Winkies and flying monkeys but if she just marched right up to the Emerald City, the Wizard and Glinda would lay waste to Theodora and her forces.
The witch rested her head on her pillows and stared up at the ceiling.
For years she had dreamt of returning to the Emerald City, making the Wizard and Glinda suffer. But there were times where Theodora dreamt of times before she was banished from the Emerald City.
Before the Wizard became all-powerful, when he was mortal man.
Theodora found herself smiling when the memory of how they met popped into her head. Her cheeks became warm.
The witch thought it odd that she still had some feelings for the man who pretty much destroyed her life.
Theodora sighed deeply and decided to get some sleep. She got up, slipped into her nightgown and crawled back into bed.
The witch yawned and closed her eyes.
As she lay there, Theodora wished things were different. She wished things would go back to they were before she turned green, before the Wizard was all-powerful. Then she would make things right.
Slowly, the witch drifted off to sleep.
Theodora's eyes snapped open. Instead of the familiar stone ceiling of her room, she found herself staring up at a high emerald ceiling.
The witch bolted upright and she looked around at her new surroundings.
She wasn't in her room.
Instead, she was a grand looking bedroom. It was much bigger than her room at her castle.
Theodora's heart began thumping away. She realized that she was in the Emerald City. It was obvious from the green and gold décor.
Theodora tried to remember what happened and how she got there. She remembered being in her room at her castle then she remembered going to bed.
The doors at the far end of the room opened and in stepped Evanora, Theodora's eyes widened in shock.
Evanora looked young again. She was dressed in her usual green and black.
Evanora frowned at Theodora "Why are you still in bed? Do you know what time it is?"
"Evanora?" breathed Theodora.
Theodora got out of bed and she approached her sister. She circled her sister looking her up and down in disbelief. Evanora scowled at her sister "What are you doing?"
"How are you normal?" asked Theodora "How did you change back? Why are we in the Emerald City?"
Evanora frowned in confusion "What are you talking about?"
"You were an old woman and I was-" said Theodora but she stopped. She saw her reflection on a mirror that hung on the wall and Theodora saw that she was no longer green.
She looked like exactly as she did before Evanora gave her the magic apple.
Theodora's hands went to her face as she stammered "H-how…b-but" "Are you feeling alright?" asked Evanora in concern.
Theodora glanced at her sister and said hesitantly "Y-yes. It was just a bad dream"
"Ok" said Evanora "Well, get dressed. You've missed breakfast already and I don't want you to miss lunch".
Theodora trudged down the yellow-bricked road deep in thought.
After Evanora left, Theodora changed into her old clothes.
It felt a little strange at first to wear red and white but she later warmed up to her old clothes again.
Theodora ate lunch with her sister and she left to try and figure out how she and Evanora were returned to normal.
As she walked through the crowded streets of the Emerald City, nobody paid much attention to her. A few people said hello but nobody tried to kill her.
Theodora tried to put as much distance between her and the Emerald City.
As she followed the yellow-bricked road, Theodora came up with a few theories with how she and Evanora were returned to their old selves. One was that the Wizard did something to break the spell of Evanora's magic apple and returned them both to the Emerald City but Theodora later dismissed that theory.
The hours slowly crawled by and Theodora was walking through a dense forest.
She decided to take a little detour through the forest for old times sake.
It had been years since Theodora was able to walk on the ground without anyone screaming or running away.
As she trudged along, Theodora felt an overwhelming sense of Déjà vu. She looked around and saw that she was in a very familiar part of the forest.
In the distance she heard someone yelling. The voice sounded familiar.
Theodora picked up her pace and she began walking quickly towards the source of the yelling.
Eventually she emerged through some dense foliage and Theodora saw that she was standing on the banks of a very familiar river.
Theodora glanced around till her eyes landed on the last person she expected to see.
Standing in the shallows, soaked head to toe and clutching a travel bag in his hand was the Wizard.
