This will be a short piece for Theodora but it will mostly be Glinda and albatross
I own nothing
Chapter 7: heart ache and confused truths
Glinda
It was rightly named the dark forest. It was dark and one of the most wicked looking places in all of Oz but as her father's resting place she would gladly brave the fog and rather morbid birds telling her she would die she wanted to shoot some ice at them but she did not want to give them what would prove her wicked. Looking around she placed her wand and her flowers on the lone cart while she unlocked the gates of the cemetery suddenly she heard a scuffling behind her turning she looked around seeing nothing she opened the lock reaching for her flowers she heard a mooing sound turning towards the sound she saw a monkey mooing in the moon light tilting her head she wondered what was wrong with that monkey? Why was he mooing?
The sound of running feet caught her attention she saw a man with a top hat slid behind a rock her wand in his hands when she joined the man she saw a china girl and a monkey.
" hurry up wizard" hissed the monkey
"did you say wizard?"
The three screamed and flailed their arms wildly she smiled at them having a hard time not laughing at them she pulled back her hood making the man's mouth fall open he slowly stood.
" have we met before?"
" no I am quite sure we haven't " said Glinda
" what is your name?"
" I am Glinda the good"
" wait you're the wicked witch?"
Glinda frowned realizing that the wizard had been miss lead she wanted to set the record straight
" come with me"
…
Theodora
The wizard was gone his room was empty albatross had said that her sister would probably know where he went together they went to the viewing room where Evanora now spent most of her time.
" sister the wizard is gone!"
" yes he is"
Walking to the glowing orb she saw Glinda walking with Oz, the monkey finely, and a little girl made of china at the cemetery.
" he's with Glinda" hissed Evanora
" this is wonderful now he can bring her back to the light and peace to the land"
Albatross looked at Glinda through the orb she could only hope that Glinda was ok she looked fine but her eyes looked tired even the bottom of her cloak was dirty. The sound of that annoying music box filled the air.
"where did you get that?" asked Theodora
" the wizard gave it to me last night he came to my chambers and we danced for hours" Evanora pressed a hand to her chest.
Albatross backed away from the sisters her insides ached Theodora's heart was breaking she watched as Evanora cried her tears slowly leaked from her eye's.
" not you too sister"
" but he said I would be his queen"
" are you sure it wasn't you saying it sister"
The betrayal and heart break was killing her Theodora ran to her room albatross was quick to follow her Theodora sat at her vanity trying desperately not to cry.
"Theo … its ok you're ok he-"
" gaaaaah!"
Tears sizzled as they ran down the young witches' checks leaving burn trails in her tan skin looking at herself in the mirror she stood her anger burning in her chest.
"serves you right!"
Slamming her fist in to the mirror albatross was quick to grab the heartbroken girl's hand cradling her hand while pulling her in to a hug in a way trying to keep the pieces of the girl in her arms from falling apart any more than she already has.
" please make the pain go away albatross make it go away "
" I will end him "
the mapmaker whispered hugging the girl tighter they stayed like that till albatross said that they should probably take the glass out of her hand carrying the broken girl to the bed albatross carefully washed her hand in her water basin pulling out the glass with the tips of her claws then going over the wound with the wash cloth once the wounds were cleaned she wrapped it in some clothe from her bag bandaging her up she stood only for Theodora to grab her hand she didn't want to be alone .not now.
" don't go"
" I have to speak with your sister"
" please stay I don't want to be alone"
"with me as your friend you will never be alone the fact that your my bonded makes that a promise Theodora"
" please stay just for a little while"
"move over than"
Theodora smiled a little moving over ,happy that she had her friend so close a soft purring filled the air making her extremely sleepy she held on to albatross till she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer falling into a peaceful sleep.

Glinda
Leading the trio into the cemetery she stopped in front of a statue of her father a stone lion was at his side looking back to the wizard she smiled sadly.
"My father was a wizard like you but he was also the king his heart was kind and he loved his people but Evanora poisoned him I could do nothing but watch as she took over blaming me for not only his death but recent flying ape attacks she even killed my bonded guardian albatross leaving me alone to fight the true wicked witch"
"did you say albatross?"
"yes why?"
Finley took off his little hat "actually princess albatross isn't dead"
"what?"
a thousand questions were running through her mind albatross wasn't dead? Then what happened to their bond? Was she being held captive? It didn't make sense the sound of boots pounding into the dry leaves around them broke her thoughts. Winkies were closing in on them , flying apes were preparing to dive bomb them she turned to the wizard.
" now would be a good time to use your magic "
The wizard hesitated "my magic? Yes my magic"
Seeing the incoming waves of winkies he looked back to her " why don't you take this one"
Shaking away her questions she waved her wand bringing on a heavy fog she looked to the wizard he grabbed his bag.
" now what ?"
" run!"
Following the wizards lead she took off into the fog with finely and the china girl dodging head stones and statues the flying apes crashed into them once they came to a cliff the wizard nearly fell from the edge it took all three of them to pull him up looking back she watched the apes swarm together.
" what do we do?" asked the wizard
" do what I do" she dived off the cliff into the clouds quickly making a bubble around herself , china girl and the wizard smiling she flew them to her well protected new home with the Quadlings her last thoughts came back to her mind.
" you said that albatross was still alive?"
" yes the girl with a tail and white hair with brown streaks in it ya she was Theodora's guardian wouldn't let the girl out of her sight"
Glinda froze with what the wizard described it –it just couldn't be true but the bond that she had lost would explain it. Evanora must have realized the bond that they shared and found a way to destroy it then she made a bond between Theodora and albatross keeping both her sister and the guardian at her side. She had to admit Evanora was far more wicked than she thought. she had to find a way to speak with Theodora or albatross she and to warn them.
