Chapter 10

Bright Heart followed No Heart to his chamber. He had never seen this part of the castle before; he didn't even know if the wizard ever slept.

"I never let Shreeky or Beastly in here. The only reason I'm letting you in here right now is because I need your help getting me out of this mess," said No Heart.

"Why me?" asked Bright Heart, "And what mess are you talking about?"

"I was just about to tell you, and the reason I am telling you this is because you're the smartest one of the Care Bears."

Bright Heart noticed the wizard's bandaged hand, "What happened to your hand?" He asked, out of concern.

"It doesn't concern you, and stop being so caring around me," said No Heart, his eyes turning red.

Bright Heart used his Care Bears stare. It hit No Heart and he was in pain.

"Stop that at once!" Screamed the wizard.

Bright Heart did as he said. No Heart almost tumbled over. Bright Heart grabbed his arm to stop his fall.

"How dare you place your hands on No Heart?" the wizard screamed.

"I was just trying to help you," said Bright Heart.

"I don't need your help for this, Care Bear, or in your case- Care Cousin."

"So what do you need my help with?" Bright Heart asked.

"I messed up big time with Page's mother. I need you to help me make things right with Page."

Bright Heart wondered what was going on, but then he put two and two together, "You're Page's father!"

"Yes. I've instructed Beastly and Shreeky not to tell her. I want to do that when the time is right."

"You can't keep this hidden forever. She will find out."

"She won't find out unless I say she will!" said No Heart.

Bright Heart didn't want to make the wizard angry, "So what will you do with me and Wish Bear? Put us in the dungeon?"

"No. Wish Bear is going to stay with Page. You will be staying with me," said No Heart.

"Why?" asked Bright Heart.

"As much as I may not like you, your brain can be useful," said No Heart.

"But where will I sleep?" asked Bright Heart.

No Heart waved his hand in the corner of the room and conjured a twin bed for Bright Heart, "This is probably the nicest thing that I will do for you."
