The memories flooded back into Dorothy's head so fast that she collapsed under the pressure. The last thing she saw before she hit the ground at the Kvon Altar was Dave's face, leading her back to the past...
...Dorothy saw herself at the age of three, living in the Rose Kingdom to the east of the Emerald City. She saw her mother and father, a beautiful pair. And she remembered all the good times.
Then she saw Angelina, who was five years old. Dorothy called her...sister? Angelina was Dorothy's sister, and the situation of that horrible night came back.
Dorothy was four years old and Angelina was six when it happened. The Rose Kingdom was a target for years because of King Finoero and Queen Rosaria Castine's political views. The Wicked Witch of the East and her accomplice Mombi, planned to destroy the Rose Kingdom and everyone who lived there. The one thing they were worried about, however, was the young princess, Dorothy Castine, whom they called the Goddess of the Rose.
Queen Rosaria was extremely powerful, and had extraordinary powers. When she gave birth to her first daughter, Angelina Castine, it was thought that she would be the one to follow in her mother's footsteps, and that she would inherit the kingdom.
However, when Angelina was born, she showed no sign of the powers she was supposed to have. When her younger sister Dorothy was born two years later, she was born wrapped in golden angel's wings, and it was proclaimed throughout the land that she would inherit the thrown of the Rose Kingdom.
On the night of the attack, King Finoero fought valiantly until he was struck across the neck, and he fell. Queen Rosaria ran to him and asked him what she should do. He replied with these words,
"Do whatever you have to in order to get the Goddess out! No matter what happens to the rest of us, Dorothy must survive!"
He died in the arms of his wife. Queen Rosaria took off her cape and placed it over King Finoero's face respectfully, said a quick blessing, cried a few tears, and ran to retrieve her children.
When reaching Dorothy's bedroom, she was a praying, well aware of the tragedy around her.
"To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sorrows, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears."
"Dorothy dear," said her mother. "We have to make leave of this place, where is Angelina?"
"I'm right here mother. Don't move!"
There Angelina stood, with evil power streaming from her. Mombi walked from the other room and took hold of Angelina's shoulder. The Queen gasped. Angelina had been consumed by Mombi's evil power!
"Angelina," Momobi slithered. "You must destroy Dorothy at all costs."
Angelina thought for a moment then said,
"But Mombi, she is my sister. Should we not save her and bring her to our side?"
"No dear child. She has your mother's energy in her. It would impossible to convert her. Besides, don't you want to take your revenge? Your mother always loved her more than you! She was even going to give the kingdom to her before you! The ignorant must be destroyed! Kill them!"
Angelina's eyes flashed an evil black color. Queen Rosaria grabbed Dorothy and ran.
They ran into the forest, being chased all the while by Mombi and Angelina. The chase came to a screeching halt, however, when Angelina shot evil energy from her fingers, causing her mother to let out a scream and fall to the ground of the forest.
Dorothy laid under her mother, whispering her prayer.
"Turn then o most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us!"
Queen Rosaria's blood dripped on her as Dorothy sobbed.
Dorothy felt her mother's body being lifted off of her. Mombi towered over the little girl.
"Stand up!" Mombi commanded.
Dorothy stood as she was told, closed her eyes, and screamed as hard as she could.
Golden wings spread from her back as she screamed, and a golden heart appeared on her forehead.
"Stop her!" said Mombi.
"If the heart turns into a rose, she'll be able to fight us!"
Angelina tried to strike her, but something made her stop.
"Well," said Mombi. "What are you waiting for Angelina, destroy her!"
"How about I strike her only to paralyze her Mombi? I'll bury her alive in the parallel! That way there will be no remains to be found here. The people will not martyr her if there are no remains to prove her death."
Mombi thought for a moment.
"Why do that? Just be rid of her!"
"I deserve to make her suffer! Why destroy her here and leave remains just so the people can proclaim her a heroine? I will not allow fame to result from her death! Dorothy deserves a fate worst than death."
"Very well, if you must. Do it now Angelina! I'll meet you at the witch's castle."
Mombi disappeared, leaving Angelina alone with Dorothy.
"Please don't kill me sister!" Dorothy cried.
"Trust me Dorothy, one day you'll understand."
Angelina struck Dorothy with a minor force that caused her to fall to the ground. Angelina walked beside her and stood over her.
Dorothy whispered,
"Pray for us!"
Angelina then zapped her memory away. She was left in the parallel.
...Emily and Henry Gale were always unable to have children. They had taken into their home three teenaged boys to be their farmhands, Hunk, Hickory and Zeke.
One day, while the boys were in the woods hunting, they saw something...someone...
A hooded person had buried something.
"Hey!" yelled Hunk. "You there? This is private land!"
That hooded person was Angelina and she ran into the darkness of the woods so fast that Hunk lost track of her.
Hunk called his friends Hickory and Zeke over to help him dig up what this person had buried. What they found was a treasure chest.
"Wow!" said Zeke. "What do you think is in it?"
"Only one way to find out!" said Hickory.
They broke the lock off the chest, and when they opened it, their smiles disappeared.
"Oh my God!"
There laid a little girl, shoved into this makeshift coffin, but whoever that stranger was, had buried her alive!
They picked up the little girl and ran for the house as fast as they could. Hunk looked down at the girl, and stopped.
"Hold on a second!" he said. "She's waking up! She's ok!"
He fell to his knees as the girl stirred and opened her eyes.
"What's your name?" asked Hickory.
"I'm Dorothy." she said.
"Where are you from?" asked Hunk.
"I...I don't remember."
"What's the last thing you remember."
Dorothy looked down at the silver cross she was wearing around her neck. Her eyes glazed over.
"Pray for us."
Dorothy suddenly felt an intense pain go throughout her body, she gripped Hunk's sleeve tightly. The young girl shook violently.
Whatever was left of her memory was being erased from afar. Angelina saw that if she remembered her name, more things would be soon to follow, so she drained Dorothy of every memory of the past that she possessed.
Dorothy's head fell back, hanging limp from her small neck. They continued running to the house.
...Darkness...
The light came back again, life started over in the parallel with the Gale family, and they were happy to have her until the day they died.
Now that it was clear, maybe she would heal from all this grief. Maybe Dorothy would finally be able to live again...
Ok, that's it for now....I did a lot of writing for this story over the break and I hope you're enjoying it! Please e-mail me your comments on the story at and give me plenty of reviews. Thanks, and keep looking for more chapters!
