chapter 8

"Whats the plan?" Glinda smiles.

"Well, first I need to know, what controls Evanora, and Theodora's powers? For you it's your wand, and for me it's my bracelet," Lucy pauses. She slides her sleeve up to reveal an aqua blue bracelet with a tiny dolphin charm as the latch.

"Evanora's is her necklace. Theodora's, I believe, is her ring," Glinda is unsure exactly, but is pretty certain about it. Lucy nods.

"Well, with them not knowing about my powers, I can take the items from them. Do you know where your wand is?" Glinda shakes her head with a sigh.

"It's in Evanora's room somewhere, I think..."

"Okay, I'll distract Evanora and Theodora and you sneak into Evanora's room and look for your wand," Lucy explains. Glinda nods.

"Miss Evanora and Miss Theodora," Lucy says softly in the sweetest voice she can do.

"Yes, Lucy?" Evanora asks.

"Whats it like being powerful witches, and reigning over people?" Lucy asks. Evanora grins.

"Well, it's very hard to get the people to listen to you," Evanora starts.

"And you must always be strong and proper," Theodora adds.

"Someone is in my room!" Evanora shouts interrupting her sister.

"Miss Evanora, it must be a maid cleaning your room," Lucy tries, know fully well it is Glinda in her room.

"I don't think so, where is our dear slave Glinda?" Evanora demands.

"This morning she said something about needing to clean the third floor, the guest floor, i think she said," Lucy makes up. Seeing the puzzlement on the two witches faces she adds,"Or maybe a guest room she said... A floor? or a room did she say?" Lucy puts her hand on her chin like when she's thinking. "Or maybe she said she's cleaning my guest room... Or did she say the east wing..." She shakes her head and acts like it doesn't matter which and turns back to Theodora. "Where did Evanora go?"

Theodora has a wicked face staring at Lucy. "My dear, you not very good at acting. She's gone to her room to catch Glinda." Theodora starts to slowly advance on Lucy. Theodora creates a tiny fireball on her finger and has it grow as she advances on Lucy, who is not backing away.

"You won't win Theodora," Lucy starts. Raising her hands, Lucy creates a buble around her. "For I too am a witch. "I'm the good witch of the North. Your long lost sister. I know there is still good in you Theodora, deep down. I don't want to hurt you. please, just stop, let me help you."

"I remember you Lucy. oh, yes, father took you away when you were very little. You were six, I was seven, Glinda was eight, and Evanora was nine. He told us he say the future and though he could not prevent it, he told us he could fix it when it happened. He said he had to take you away to do so." Theodora stops the fireball from growing, but keeps it in her hand. She stops moving towards Lucy also. "I was oh so sad when father took you away, so was Evanora, but Glinda was heart broken. You were always her favorite. Evanora played jokes oh her and I. Myself, I didn't like dresses or jewelry like her. But you... You Lucy" Thodora puts out the fireball and points an angry finger at Lucy. "you were soo nice, all the time, you loved dresses, and you loved jewelry. Glinda picked you as her favorite because of that. If you wanted something Glinda got it for you. Where as if Evanora or I wanted something we had to get it ourselves. You were Glinda's little pet. Glinda was the biggest baby out of us. She cares way too much."

"But do you remember how much I looked up to you dear sister? Glinda was my best friend, but you were my role model Theodora." Lucy's bubble popped. "Do you remember the nickname I had for you?"

Theodora nods, "Theum, because you couldn't say my name properly. Then you kept calling me that even when you could say my name. I HATED you calling me that. Why?"

"I called you that because I liked it. I only gave you a nickname, no one else. I looked up to YOU. I gave YOU a nickname." Lucy catches her breath. "I want you back... I miss you. The old you."

"You didn't look up to me! You looked up to Glinda. Who would look up to me? Even the old me?" Theodora screams at Lucy.

"I Looked Up To You! You were the most confident out of the four of us! You loved to read and behave! You loved to be you! You were the one I looked up to! You were my favorite! AND I WANT YOU BACK! I'm still only eight! Father made it so I didn't age, I was almost frozen in time, while you, Evanora, and Glinda grew up! I hate what you've turned into Theum! I hate it! And I just want the old you back! The one that would tease me and play with me when Glinda was busy, the one that taught me to read because no one else would, the one who I loved..." Lucy falls to her knees and starts crying into her hands.

Evanora struts in a few minutes later, followed by Oz, carring Glinda whom looks to be dead. Lucy glances up and sees Glinda.

"Glinda!" she screams curling into a ball and crying more.

"OH dear sister," Evanora starts, "what did you do?" She praises.

"It's Lucy," Theodora answers not happy, yet not sad.

"Yes that's Lucy, I know that. She told us already." Evonora shakes her head. What did Lucy do to Theodora?

"Our sister Lucy."

It takes a minute before evanora yells, "WHAT?!"
