PART 1:Rise of the Wicked Witch

Chapter 1:Theodora

On the other side of the door came loud screams were not screams of anger or hate though. They were screams of joy and happiness. Outside of the room stood Locasta and her two sisters Evanora and Glinda. Locasta was the oldest of the three children and had reached the age of eight. She was a very beautiful girl with blonde hair and had eyes that were the rare color of purple. Next to her was the middle child Evanora who was four years old. Evanora was just as beautiful as Locasta and had dark brown hair and green eyes the shade of emeralds. In Locasta's arms was the youngest child in the family, Glinda. Glinda was two years old and had blonde hair and dark brown eyes. However on this day Glinda would cease to be the youngest for today she was to become a big sister three sisters waited a little longer until the door opened and their father King Pastoria emerged.

"Come meet your new baby sister children," Pastoria said with a tremendous amount of happiness in his face. As the three sisters entered the room they saw their father move to stand next to the bed where their mother Queen Lurline was sitting up. In her arms was their newborn baby sister who was smiling and cooing toward her mother. It was strange but there was not one tear shed from the infant.

"Oh Mother, she is so beautiful," said Locasta.

"What is her name," Evanora asked excitedly.

"Hmm let me think first. Why don't we name her Theodora," Lurline replied.

"Oh Lurline the name is perfect," Pastoria said. At this Evanora and Locasta agreed in unison and baby Glinda cooed as well. By now Theodora had stopped crying and was now reaching her soft hands up to try and touch her mother's face. Lurline noticed this and lifted her head down to kiss Theodora's hands.

"Don't worry my angel soon you will grow up to be just like your daddy," Lurline said.

"Mommy. Can I hold her," Evanora asked with more excitement.

"Of course my love," Lurline replied. As she said these words she placed Theodora in Evanora's arms and the baby began to squirm and coo again. Evanora noticing this repeated exactly what her mother did by rocking and cradling the baby and Theodora began to go to sleep in Evanora's arms. This brought an enormous smile on Evanora's face and newfound sparkle in her emerald green eyes. As Evanora was preoccupied Pastoria looked out the window realizing that it was way past dark.

"Children, time for bed It's way past dark," Pastoria said. Both Evanora and Locasta turned to their father and groaned.

"Why must we go to bed now Father," Locasta asked.

"Why must you go to bed? It is late that's why and tomorrow is a big day," Pastoria replied.

"What's happening tomorrow," Evanora asked.

"Tomorrow we must present Theodora before the kingdom for all to see. They will want to meet their new princess. Locasta I need you to put Glinda to bed. I must stay here with your mother and Theodora to make sure that everything will be ok. Now hurry along and I love you," Pastoria said. As Evanora and Locasta kissed their parents goodnight Pastoria took Theodora and held her for the first time.

"She truly is beautiful Lurline," Pastoria said.

"I know. She has her daddy's looks," Lurline replied smiling.

"You know you're absolutely right Lurline. However Glinda looks exactly like you do," Pastoria said.

"I guess that makes us even then," Lurline said chuckling.

"So it does," Pastoria replied.
