Chase's POV

Someone punch me…hard. Not only does Adelaide have EAS at her fingertips, but I am the one who get Tourluth out. I feel horrible about saying this, but I really can't do it. Not can't…I won't do it.

Now, Adelaide is spreading her orders, stupid stuff, like, "Make me a throne." And, "Make me a statue."

It's enough to make anyone sick, whether you're there or not.

Rory, me and a few characters had bolted, and I brought them to my house. It was safe, a magic bubble surrounded it, and so I could keep people out with no problem at all.

Ben spoke up first, "Ok, now what?"

He voiced what everyone was thinking; I groaned and sat down on the couch. Rory sat down next to me, "We can reverse it, right? Now we have the wishing coin…we can do almost anything we need, bring the Director back…"

I shook my head, "She already put limits on the wishes, and by the way, what limit did she put on the first wish, I missed that part." Rory sighed, and put her head in her hands, "She wants me to disappear, basically. She wants to have the part of my life I've had so far…my friends…the Triumvirate…my parents."

I almost laughed. It was either that or punches something. "Well, were in the same boat then." Rory nodded, "I guess we are."

I felt something in my pocket; it was the present…Rory's present. I must have put it in my pocket when I heard the kids screaming. I began to pull it out, "Umm…Rory…I…"

Rain came barreling in the room, "Hey Chase, what's Kenneth doing outside the door?" I sighed, and placed the box back in my pocket, "I don't know, let's go see."

I could give it to her another time…we did have all the time in the world.

Adelaide POV:

This was perfection in the making.

I had three kids making me a magic statue, four making me a throne, and fifteen making the place for the special binding oath. Yes…I had made another wish…one that would get me what I wanted.

The wish I had made was standing right next to me, laughing joyously. She said, "I must say, your little scheme is wondrous your highness." I curtsied, "Thank you your majesty, but the best is yet to come, what would you like?"

The wish smiled, "Nothing…just the fulfillment of the deal you gave me…only then will I complete mine." I nodded, "That was the agreement." The wish laughed, "Oh…and if you ever wish to come live in my castle…its open for you any day!"

I shook my head, "That would be nice, but its' just a bit too cold for me out there."

Rory's POV:

As Chase opened the door, I noticed Kenneth had a strange look on his face. It was an emotion I had never seen on his face before. Fear

Kenneth quickly thrust a letter into Chase's hand, "Take it, and please, oh please make the right choice this time!" Chase frowned, "What are you talking about, get in here, before Adelaide sees…"

Kenneth grabbed Chase's shoulders and shook him, "Read the note Chase, read it quickly, and forget about your stupid ego!" Lena snorted, "You're saying HE has an ego? Check your own pockets dude."

I pushed forward, something was wrong, "Kenneth, calm down…what's wrong, what did she do?" Kenneth was about to answer, then he went stiff, I could see a sheet of ice wash down his back to his feet, "I have to go…do it right Chase…you might get out of this alive."

Without a glance back, Kenneth ran back toward the courtyard, leaving us with a note and no clue what so ever.
