Chapter 20
Lin's POV
"But Mom, I not even tired." I complained as Mom lead me to my room. Well help me walk is more like it. She glared at me when we made it to my door.
"Now sweetie, you are hurt really bad today. And you need your rest." She said as she sat me down on the bed.
"Mom, I'm"
"Now, don't you even dare tell me your fine. The way you acted when it happened proved you aren't. Now just please get some rest. It will make both you and me feel a lot better." She said pulling the covers over my body making sure not to hurt my thigh. I looked up to her face, it showed concern and seriousness. I knew then I wasn't going to win. So I signed accepting defeat, 'Alright Mom, I'll try and get some rest." I said getting comfortable. "That's my girl." Mom smiled placing a kiss on my cheek before getting up to leave. I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew I was out.
I opened my eyes to see I wasn't in the palace anymore. I was back in the old library, back standing on the map.
"Oh No," I breathed filling my panic overcoming me. I looked around to see that there was a little bit fog covering the place, not allowing me to see what was a little away from me. My heart began to speed up when I heard someone coming my way.
'Who there?" I asked not willing to hide the shaking of my voice. A laugh comes from all corners, a laugh that is filled with hatred and venmon, that sends chills up and down my spine. Finally after a few minutes of silence the voice called back.
"You think that you and your family can just come here and ruin my plans. Unearth secrets that have been hidden for generations." The voice hissed. I shivered and looked down to see I was dead set in a circle with a big EC on the end of it. My breathe quickened but I got up the courage to speak,
"Who are you, Show yourself!" the voice laughed again.
"Oh Miss Linda. If only you knew the truth." It said sounding amused. I turned around to search fro the voice. Then out of the fog came the last person I wanted to see. Zandra stood there in front of me with a wicked grin on her face.
"Zandra." Was all I could say before my mouth went dry. She smirked and said,
"Yes Miss Linda. But I really think you shouldn't be worrying about me right now." Zandra moved elegantly and suddenly the fog vanished and I could see clearly. I saw the whole l map now and I saw that I was standing in the center of it all. The circles where Mom, Elphie, and Nessa stood in my last dream were there but something else was in their spots. In the place of Mom was a bubble, In Elphie's was a rock floating, and in Nessa's was a flouting flame. I was so confused, what was this about? Zandra laughed again,
"Each of you, such great power. And yet you do not know you possess it." I gave her a look of confusion and shock.
"I don't get what you mean." She circles me with her grin widening.
"Linda, Linda, so young and yet so much power." She stops dead in front of me.
"Just listen and listen good. It would be a shame to have to loose everyone you ever cared about wouldn't it." She hissed and I began to hear screams, Mom, dad, Elphie, Fiyero, Nessa, Rye, Jen, Kerry, Dimitri, and Megan. All for their tortured screams filled my ears. I placed my hands over my ears, begging the screams to stop as tears filled my eyes.
"Stop, please stop." Zandra laughed,
"There is nothing you can do. I will stop the Witches of Oz from ever existing." But in all of those screams, I saw something. A path , it lead from to the wall fo the ballroom in the Upland mansion. It glowed a bright Emerald, brown, pink, blue and red. Which made my head hurt worse. Zandra in midst of all of it started to talk, "Come on Lin, you know you want it to stop. To hear them scream in pain and all you can do is watch." No, this isn't happening. The screams continued, the vision, and Zandra all at once became too much. I let out a scream and everything vanished.
I shot up in my bed, burning tears running down my cheek. I jumped when I felt a lgith hand on my shoulder. I looked to see Elphie with a worried look.
"Lin?" but I didn't answer I fell into her arms and cried my eyes out.
