Chapter 2:

While deep in the sewers Anika stormed ahead of them as she shoved past one of the henchmen. She didn't look back as she headed to find her brother.

''What's with our ice queen'' he asked using the usual nickname they gave her because of her cold nature.

''Don't ask'' said one as they cowered in fear worried what Nicholas had planned if he found out.

Anika burst into the room that was once Ratigan's study now belonged to her brother. Everything in Ratigan's keep belonged to Nicholas since he was the new ruler of the criminal world. He had big plans for him and Anika. He heard her take slow breathes.

''Settle sister dearest you will ruin your good looks'' he said standing by the chair.

One of the sides of her cheek was wrinkled and worn. Her dark magic fizzed through her arm up to her cheek as it mended itself back to the young state.

''Brother your men had failed you'' she said.

The young rodent stared at her. He was a white fur mouse like her but tall and dashing with a charm that can tame any woman. His dark red hair was short as it sat on both sides with his dark eyes still had the cat likeness in them.

His nose was a sharp pink that can smell any scent a mile off as his ears can hear the tinest of sounds. He wore a white shirt with a dark blue waistcoat with blood red lining around it with black trousers and dark brown shoes.

''You mean the ones you sent out with you to capture Basil they shall be punish with no mercy Anika'' he said drawing on his words taking a few pauses.

''That is not all Nicholas not only does he have that doctor but that double crossing bat Fidget and a witch on their side as well'' said Anika.

Nicholas who had taken a sip of wine from his glass spat it out the moment he heard this.

''A witch of their did you see her'' he asked.

''Yes not only is she beautiful but kind as well which is a troublesome sign for us'' she said.

''True Anika with a good witch on their side they are unstoppable'' he said thinking this through.

Then he paced back and forth from the table after putting his glass down on it. Then something hit him in the back of his mind.

''Of course this girl does she know or learn of Ratigan's whereabouts'' he asked.

''No brother not even after I cursed him to roam the land forever after he tore my heart'' said Anika.

''Perfect if we somehow use her emotions play with them in the right way then nothing can stop us'' said Nicholas.

''Shall I send my pets to give her an invite to us'' she said.

''No Anika I want them to do more I want them to bring her here in person'' he said as he gave an evil laugh.

At Baker Street that moment Ozma had helped Mrs Judson put away the dishes and the other chores she still needed to do.

''Thank you my dear that was most kind of you'' she said.

''Your welcome Mrs Judson it breaks my heart to see someone like you struggle and at least I know I can do things without the use of my magic'' said Ozma smiling at this.

''Mother what is going on'' came a small voice.

They saw entering the room a five year brown fur boy mouse with blue eyes. He rubbed his hand across them getting the sleep out of his eyes. He wore a white nightshirt.

''Oh Ozma I almost forgot this is my son Evan'' said Olivia to her.

''They are staying with us till they find a place to stay'' said Basil.

Ozma stared at Evan. That name somehow it meant something her in a different way and form. But she tried to think where.

''Is his father staying here too'' she asked.

Olivia stared at her sadly shaking her head.

''My husband died when Evan was born'' said Olivia.

''How did he met his end'' Ozma asked.

''He died protecting us while I had Evan in my arms before he left us it was theonly time he ever saw him'' said Olivia giving a sad sigh.

Ozma felt sad for her friend too on the inside. She didn't why but she had to hold back her tears. As someone inside her head was telling her not to.

''Ozma'' said Evan saying her name staring up at her.

''Yes that is right Evan is something the matter'' Olivia asked him.

''I can't sleep'' said Evan.

''I know what Evan why not I tuck you and I will tell you a story'' said Ozma.

''Oh yes please'' said Evan as he turned to his mother.

''Can she mother'' he asked.

''I don't see why not run along'' said Olivia.

''Yes come on Ozma I will show you my room'' said Evan happily taking her hand as he run off with her.

While in Oz everyone had discovered Ozma's disappearance. Finley flew up to Oz and Glinda who awaited his arrival.

''Any sign of her'' he asked.

''No wizard we search all over Oz there is no trace of Ozma'' said Finley.

''It is like she has vanished completely'' said China Girl.

Glinda saw the tense in Oz's body. She did her best to comfort him.

''They will find her have faith'' she said.

''Of course Glinda but the witches what if they return and learn of Ozma's existance'' said Oz.

He felt a bit selfish saying that. If only his friends knew the truth. He felt both the wicked witches had a right to know about Ozma. Glinda sense this as she wondered why. What part did they play in her life.
