Chapter 6: The Poisoning
As the years passed, the girls turned into fine young women and good witches. Glinda had gotten powers over water and bubbles, Evanora had powers over electricity(green electricity that is), and Theodora had powers over fire.
One day, King Malduc had asked Evanora to be his royal advisor just as her mother had. Evanora accepted.
As she became more close with the king, Evanora felt the king was just like her father. She so desperately wanted to call him Papa but she stopped herself.
But, Glinda was his real daughter and not Evanora. The more time Glinda spent with the king, the more Evanora's heart turned black.
Finally, the darkness consumed her and Evanora came up with a conclusion: If she couldn't have King Malduc all to herself, no one could.
Now, Glinda's birthday dinner was coming up and Evanora felt it was the perfect opportunity to rid Oz of their king.
As the cooks were preparing the meal, Evanora sneaked into the kitchen and found the drink that would be given to King Malduc. She picked up the goblet and poured in a poison she had obtained.
She stared at the goblet and with tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm sorry, Papa."
Glinda's birthday dinner had begun. Evanora and Theodora were there as well. Suddenly, King Malduc stood up.
"I'd like to make a toast to my darling Glinda for becoming a fine woman. She will become a wonderful queen of Oz one day. To Glinda!"
"To Glinda!" everyone echoed.
Glinda smiled, "Thank you, Father."
Suddenly, King Malduc fainted. Everyone gasped.
Glinda ran over. "Father? Father, please wake up!" She looked at the servants. "Take him to his chambers," she ordered. The servants did just so.
