"Why should I let the brat go? I now have some leverage agents you," Evanora teases creating a chain around Glinda as she did Lucy.
"Please she's powerless and still young. Let her go," Glinda tries again.
"No! Now shut up!" Evanora hits Glinda.
"Evanora what, what do you want?" Lucy cries. salty tears race down her cheeks. Evanora's head snaps towards Lucy stalking up to her.
"Oh you stupid little girl. I want power. You and our dear sister Glinda," Evanora shoots lightning bolts at Glinda, "are in my way. I don't want to kill you because your my leverage to get the people and Glinda to obey me." A devilish smile appears on Evanora's face, "Your coming with me." Evanora waves her hand and the chain around Lucy disappears and a rope appears around her wrists and the other end in Evanora's hand. Lucy tugs at the rope hopping for Evanora to let go of it.
"Let go." Lucy tugs some more. Evanora's response is walking out of the room almost dragging Lucy behind. Evanora takes Lucy down to the dungeons. "What are we doing down here?" Lucy gasps at what she sees.
"Now you understand a lot more, don't you?" Evanora purrs into Lucy's ear.
Theodora walks glumly back into the throne room.
"Theodora, please help Lucy escape. Please," Glinda pleads.
"Why? You got her to lie to me! I doubt she looked up to me miss perfect!" Theodora spat. Glinda struggles agents the chains holding her down.
"Theo, please. Lucy needs her big sister to protect her. Your the only one that can save her from Evanora!" Glinda tries again. "She has my wand, I can't protect her any more. You can. You can save our little sister." Theodora walks out of the room.
"Evanora said I shouldn't be able to feel these emotions anymore. She lied! What else did she lie about?" Theodora continues to mumble to herself letting her feet take her somewhere. Where? Theodora pays no attention. Finally she gets to a door. A sea blue door. She opens it and steps inside.
It's Lucy's old room. Their mother never had the courage to get rid of the stuff. It's been here for 30 years. Theodora hasn't been in this room for over 30 years. She played with Lucy the day before their father took her away, but not since. This room would have causes dear Theodora to break before the wizard got here, beyond hope then, but with little Lucy back Theodora finally has the courage to come in here.
Theodora saunters through the room. She finds Lucy's diary open on her desk and really dusty. Theodora picks it up and blows off the dust. She reads the latest entry:
'Dear Diary,
Daddy says I have to go on a trip with him tomorrow. He says I have to say bye to sissys. I'm really going to miss Theum, she always plays with me. Especially when Glinda is to busy. I'm going to miss Theum the most. Daddy say it's because I look up to her. I don't really understand what that means. Daddy says it's like I'm trying to be just like her. It's true. I love Theum and want to be just like her when I grow up. She's so nice and confident. She loves to read and learn other people's stories. So i guess daddy is right. I do want to be like her. I will also miss Glinda a lot. She loved playing with me, but only on her time when she wasn't busy with helping daddy and learning magic. I just found out a few months ago that I can do magic. Theum is helping me learn some magic she knows! I can make things appear and I can move objects around. It takes me a minute but i'll be practicing to make it faster! I hope Theum will teach me how to disappear tomorrow before I leave like she says she will! She says only if there is time though.. I will also miss Evanora, but not like i'll miss Theum.
Daddy says I have to go to bed now,
Lucy
P.S. I have a bracelet for Theum before I leave tomorrow! I hope she likes it!'
Theodora notices a little bracelet made of string next to the colors of the strings are sea blue and moss green. With a marker it's written on the string. 'Love you'.
Theodora felt something in her chest. It can't be my heart... Evanora got rid of that...
No, it withered down to almost nothing, but Lucy's love for you saved your heart and is making it whole again.
No! I don't want to feel again!
But you are, so what are you going to do about it?
Nothing, maybe eat another apple?
No! Your going to save Lucy and Glinda! That's what your going to do!
Do ! have to?
Yes, i'm your conscience and what I say goes!
Theodora nodded to herself. Theodora held back tears of joy from burning her face. She couldn't believe someone looks up to her. She decided she must be the best role model she can be.
