End chapter-
Will looked up from his brother to see Safina. She was screaming ripping at her hair. "Why didn't I think of that? I was so foolish!" The skin on Safina's face started turning pale then all of a sudden, a gust of wind burst forth from the room. Will looked to see were the wind was coming from and saw that it was coming from the little broken piece of the mirror. The wind picked up and was blowing harder. Will could hardly hear he only heard the howling wind and Safina's screams. The wind made a sudden stop and then the mirror became a vortex. The wind was now going into the mirror everything Safina owned was now being sucked into the mirror. "No!" screamed Safina in an almost inhuman voice. The contract that Jake had signed was now circling Safina and it too was sucked into the mirror. Will could feel the pull of the wind but did not feel like he was in any danger. He just sat there with Jake in his arms. The room was now stripped of everything, the walls were empty. Safina was now being pulled into the mirror. "No! Not me. I Can't! I worked too hard! My plan was just beginning to work! I was the Fairest! She screamed. Her feet left the ground her hand swung around trying to grab hold of something anything. In a flash Safina was sucked into the mirror and the mirror landed with a clatter on the ground. Will looked up and saw that now Safina's wickedness was now truly destroyed. The other men from the bar looked around in utter confusion; one man went over to the mirror and picked it up.
"What is this?" he asked. "Jealousy at its worst." Answered Will.
"Destroy it." Whispered Jake the color from his face was gone and is lips had no color in them at all. Jake looked up at his brother before his eyes shut and he was lost in darkness.
1 year past and Will was still living with the dwarfs. Every day he thought of Jake and of what had happened. He wished he could have done something, but it was too late now.
"Will!" yelled Anjelika rushing out of the cabin up to the fence were Will was sitting. "He's waking up!"
"What!" yelled Will in amazement." Well it's about time." He jumped off the fence and ran inside to the bedroom were Jake was. He burst through the door and sure enough there was Jake with his eyes open. "Will." Whispered Jake. " Haven't seen you in awhile." "Jake you fool." Laughed Will embracing his brother. "What happened?" asked Jake "I thought I had killed myself, but I guess I didn't." he said smiling. "Remember the contract." Answered Will. "Safina was suppose to protect you and also you said from accident like near fatal ones. So when you shot yourself in the stomach you didn't kill yourself, but it was near fatal and that's all we needed to destroy Safina."
"How long have I been sleeping?" asked Jake? "About a year." Answered Anjelika, coming over to Jake to hug him. "Will and I have been taking good care of you. We have fed you, bathed you ,and done all sorts of things. True you have lost allot of weight, but you can gain it back." Cavaldi now ran into the room breathless "Oh! Jake you have woken. I am so happy." He ran over to Jakes side and kissed both his cheeks. "So nice to see everyone care for you." Said Jake with a smile. "By the way where are the dwarfs?" "Oh they are out cleaning the glass coffin." Answered Will.
"Glass coffin?' asked Jake with his eyebrows raised. " Yes Jake." Answered Anjelika. "Um… Its very strange, but well. Eleanor's body hasn't decomposed at all."
"What?' said Jake pulling himself up. " How can this be?" "We don't know." Answered Will. "She is dead I mean she doesn't breath and there is no heart beat." "The dwarfs thought she was too beautiful to bury in the ground so they put her in a glass coffin." Said Anjelika. "I tell you she is asleep." answered Cavaldi.
"I want to see her." said Jake climbing out of bed. All his muscles now ached from the new movement after one year of resting and his bones seemed to creak. He got to his feet and felt like he had never used them before. Cavaldi had to come over just to help Jake get his balance.
"Jake your in no condition to go!" yelled Anjelika at least wait until your strong again. "No I have to see her now, I need to get it over with ." he let go of Cavaldi and with new strength walked through the door.
They led him through the forest to where Eleanor was laying and it was beautiful. Pink blossoms fell from the trees to look like pink snow was falling over her. Flowers were carefully placed around her coffin and the dwarfs had shined the glass so that there was not a smudge on it. The dwarfs saw Jake and were thrilled, but decided to greet him later because they knew he had come to see Eleanor. Jake walked up to the coffin and saw her. It was the same Eleanor nothing had changed about her at all. They were right. You could almost mistake her for sleeping if you did not notice that her chest was not rising or falling. He stared down at her face and almost in a trance he opened the glass lid. He got down on his knees so as to be closer to her face." I'm sorry Eleanor that I let you die, and I'm sorry that I didn't die so as I could have joined you, but your stepmother is now gone and I hope that helps a little." He wanted to, but he couldn't. It would be wrong. She was dead, and you have to respect the dead, but he couldn't help it she seemed so alive. He decided he would what harm would come from it. He bent forward and he kissed her. It seemed to him that it lasted forever, the greatest feeling in the world. And when he left her lips he could feel himself wanting to kiss her again, but no once was enough. He got up and closed the lip. He was so lost in thought while closing the lid he thought he saw Eleanor move, but no impossible. She moved again, "what thought!" Jake" Am I going crazy." "I told you!" yelled out Cavaldi she was only sleeping!" Jake threw open the glass lid and sure enough Eleanor opened her eyes. She stared up at Jake and blinked a few times. "Jake." she said her voice music to his ears. "Have you lost weight?" Jake couldn't help it he answered her question with a loving laugh and embraced her in his arms. "What's wrong Jake?" she asked, "What happened?" He looked into her eyes, kissed her and said 'Don't you know I finally got my happily ever after."
The end! Wow, I am happy it is over thanks for all who reviewed.
