Zelda's Curse Part 2
"Aunt Zelda?" Sabrina said as she came into Zelda's hospital room with Hilda. Zelda was laying in bed with a sad expression on her face while Salem lay curled up beside her trying to comfort her. "Aunt Zelda, how do you feel?"
"I don't know," Zelda muttered. She felt terrible but she couldn't tell her niece that. Sabrina didn't need to have to worry about Zelda. She was supposed to be taking care of her.
"Zelly, I brought you some things to make you more comfortable," Hilda said as she started to dig in the bags that she had been carrying. A second later, she pulled a long emerald empire-cut nightgown out of the bag. She smiled as she waved it at her sister. "This will be so much nicer than that horrible hospital thing. It really brings out your eyes. Here, let me point you into it."
Zelda tried to smile as her sister pointed her into her nightgown but she couldn't. It had only been a few hours since she had became paralyzed but it felt like an eternity.
"Aunt Zelda, do you have any idea who could have done this to you?" Sabrina asked. She could tell that Zelda needed something to focus her mind on and fast.
"I don't know, Sabrina. I've tried to think of someone but...."
"What about your scientific rivals? Some of those guys are really wierd," Hilda said. She didn't know how Zelda could stand to spend so much time with the losers that science seemed to attract. "There's that nutty Dr. Terdlington. Could he have done it? He was really mad after you send him back to the Other Realm without his pants."
"I don't know," Zelda murmered. She would hate to think that a fellow scientist could have done this to her but that was the only thing she could think of. She hadn't made any other witches angry at her. "Maybe Janice Pinkerbottle. I got a lecture spot at the Other Realm physics symposium last month that she had been trying to get for years. She wasn't happy about that."
"I'll say," Salem grumbled. "She filled the living room with peas."
"Now the peas had their upside. They scared away Willard. I can't believe that he's pea-phobic," Hilda chuckled.
"Hilda!" Zelda cried. She hated it when her sister made fun of Willard. Just then she realized that some explination would be needed for where she was if this curse lasted for very long. "We need an excuse...."
"It's okay, Aunt Zelda. Mr. Kraft dropped by while we were packing your stuff and we told him that you were at a convention," Sabrina said. She hated Mr. Kraft but she didn't want to do anything to make her sick aunt worry.
"Good. I don't want him to see me like this. So helpless," Zelda whispered as she started to cry.
"Zelly, it will be okay," Hilda said as she patted her sister to try to reasure her. "Just relax. I brought some books so just settle down while I read War and Peace."
