A vision slowly crept to me in my sleep. I was standing on an island or was it a desert. I was looking for something, I didn't know what it was but it was people cause I was heading to a war. Seemily to the way I was dressed and the weapons I carried. As I was standing a plane flew over me, someone was calling my name. I looked up, it were you, all of you, dressed the same, I hopped into the plane. You were all headed to the same war but you also told me you were running away from someone. I didn't know who it was so you tried explaining to her but you got interrupted. The plane bombed out of nowhere, everything was just so unclear from then. I lost you, I tried fighting for you but I was unable. You were already captured by that person. I kept calling for you to fall from the sky. I was having a parachute on me. I used it but when I flew up again a plane passed. You were trapped in it, trapped by the witch ILiara. I tried fighting again but the problem was that I was useless. My powers were weak and ILiara kept defeating me no matter how much I tried. I then heard a hand touching me, it felt so real, I looked at it, it was a human hand. I was terrified by it and the reason I got terrified was that I wasn't a human. I was a puppet that why I failed to fight for you. I opened my eyes crying. I looked at myself. I was still a puppet even in real life. I was a puppet both in real life and in a dream and not that I didn't know I was a puppet but what killed me the most was I couldn't fight for you from that witch. But this was just a different dream, a strange one though. I was lying down as I was crying but again the vision slowly creeped in again. See I was still awake when I saw myself standing outside a house in fact I was sitting on a rock and the house was actually far away. And it was so blurry at times but my eyes slowly closed. I fell asleep again but the vision continued. I could now see clearly. I was indeed far away from that house but I could see what was happening. There were three girls trapped in a witch's house. They were planning to escape but got caught and one of them wore a necklace that the witch wanted but they fought the witch and managed to trap her. And those girls were you, the witch took you to her house after she got you out of the plane. That's why I had summoned the queen to help you out and all that happened when I was still sleeping that day you left but I couldn't warn you. I was trapped in a sleep. It was a puppet sleep time", explained Matilda telling them her dream. "So you mean you had a vision of us before we got to the witch's house, wow, meaning your powers are all coming back slowly. Aren't you supposed to be smiling?", asked Elaine. They were all looking at her. "No, that's not it, my powers haven't been restored. It was just a vision (Alice interrupted her) "But how come you were able to fight Astraea and also isn't that when you are able to see the past and present a vision and someone having power?", asked Alice confused. "That's not how it works. I got the dream as I was sleeping next to Suzette. That's how I got the vision. I think she is the one who can be between us. As for Astraea it was Elaine wearing the necklace. It's the one that gave me powers the other day. The Phoenix are using it to send me power from it and if the witch got it I wouldn't be'', explained Matilda. Suzette who was now deep in thoughts spoke "But how because that time I had a dream of a man. He was a witch. He wanted me to help him. To wake him from death but I just couldn't understand it. I felt like he was near cause I was right in your house still in that dream next to the garden. I was digging his tombstone but the dream ended but I think it because I ignored it and what happened the other day. I felt two men calling my name. It was the same voice of that witch but the other one I didn't know. They were calling me to help them and even in that witch house. I was confused, stuck between good and bad, voices calling me to say something even with that dead person. I felt weird in that basement. I just don't understand what's happening. Why am I hearing these sounds? It was all confusing. Even when I controlled the witch's mind, I was not myself. It was like I had some connection with her", explained Suzette slowly walking to the window and looking outside. Elaine walks to her and leans her on her shoulder. The other two remained seated and Matilda spoke "I think there's some explanation to that. I bet that person will help you with that, neither do I know what's happening", said Matilda. Elaine also spoke from the window "I think that's why I have been having dreams all along ever since I was young and ever since I wore this necklace. At first it was just a dream of the sun and two birds would fly from it but now it has changed so I can see the birds clearly. They always fly to me, they tryna tell me something. It's just that I don't know what it is, we really do have to go to that person as soon as dawn strikes and the necklace always shines everytime. I have these dreams' ', said Elaine, her and Suzette walking back to sit with the two. Matilda stands up and pours juice for them with cookies. She was having them before she left. Elaine poured the juice and they drank it with the cookies. Matilda spoke again "But those were just visions. This time I was in a war. It was a dream, it felt so real. I was in a war with those witches. I happened to see the faces of those people who helped me from that war. I saw all the kingdoms, the fairy, ciampa, avelon, Oceania were all there. But back to the faces. The first face I saw was of an old man, Mr Goldberg, that was his name. The second one was a woman named Scarlett with another man named John but to my surprise, I knew the old man's son John but nor did I know she married Scarlett but the dream traveled to the future and brought me here to the present. The two couples had a daughter and it turned out to be you Elaine (Elaine couldn't believe it, Matilda continued) then I saw other faces. It was Kate and another man named Scott. I didn't know the man but they got married and gave birth to Alice (Alice gets surprised too, Matilda continues again) Then I saw other faces again. This time it was different. The third faces I saw were overwhelming. I wasn't expecting that face again. We hated each other's guts. She tried to kill me. She was one of those who were against me, one of those who killed my mother and seeing her face just brought back all the pain and suffering. It took me back to a place I thought I could never be in again. It brought all those hurtful, bad memories of my past and even that day I lost my humanness. I opened my eyes and closed them but still I saw that face, it was Lucida but she was fighting on our side that amazed me. I then saw the other faces, the other one was that of that man. I didn't know him and next to him stood a girl my age. They both had a child and it was you Suzette. I wasn't expecting that. It got me confused. I don't mean I hate you but your mother tried to kill me, she's ILiara's friend. What if she's using you to get to me, help kill me, you know all that you spoke about", said Matilda angrily. Suzette cried and the other two were just surprised. It was news to them. She couldn't believe her mother was not like that, she was kind, she couldn't even kill a fly. She was humble and soft and good hearted. She just couldn't process it. She looked around at the others, they looked away, Elaine was the only one who looked at her. She was also crying. She could remember how Matilda explained her story. How hurtful it was, Suzette tried touching Matilda. She turned away, Suzette looked at Alice, she also looked away. "If you or your mother are a threat to Matilda and so are you to us. Your mother is the evil woman who killed her mother, her friends, her family and even tried killing her. Who knows, perhaps you are just pretending to be our friend, you're working with that witch. It's just we've been fools, at least it didn't take so long for us to see that. I think you should leave, you've done enough in fact you're the one who called the witch that day saying (copying how Suzette spoke) perhaps she's my mothers colleague knowing very well you were setting a trap for us, you little witch, how evil of you", said Alice sitting away from her. Matilda agreed "Yeah I think you should leave. I just don't feel safe around you. Your mother's too powerful, perhaps she's using you to kill me. I don't hate you, it 's just I don't feel safe around you and looking at you just reminds me of everything that has happened to me", said Matilda, also walking away from her. Suzette saw for herself that she was no longer wanted. She slowly stood up and went away walking out to fetch her clothes. She thought it would be best for her to leave as her friends already saw her as enemy, betrayer, born to a killer and an accomplice. Elaine watched her leave, calling her to come back, she turned away to the others. They didn't take back their words. She stood up, ran to Suzette but Suzette ignored her and walked away. Elaine returned to the two. She looked at them right in their eyes "So you just gonna let her go just like that and not stop her? What kind of friends are you? friends stick together not what you doing", she said hoping they would call for her. " The type of friend who honors their safety first and she was a threat. You cannot take a bomb and place it back in a car knowing it would explode and kill you right then so open your eyes she's one of them. She's just pretending to be one of us", replied Alice and Matilda agreeing. "All I know is Suzette was also unaware of this. She was just like us, lost from the beginning and still lost. She's tryna find herself. She is just as confused, this thing is also overwhelming and shocking to her and the Suzette I know wouldn't have risked her friends life like that and you would have seen that if you were true friends to her. And even if she was working with them, why fight the witch? why waste her time calling her to catch us then again help us to fight her? Why didn't she take the necklace herself? You saw for yourself luckily our parents are not as bad but she just found out who her parents are like us meaning she didn't know and neither of us knew our parents were supernatural but still you blame her, posing her as a threat. And it's funny because that same Suzette was the one who helped you see we were in danger the other day. She's always been there for all of us, both you, me and you Matilda. No one does that who's evil no matter how evil you are, evil always prevails. She's been there for you Matilda ever since you disappeared in that forest. And I also think she's dump at what she's doing, she's failing because by now that witch would have long found us, you'd already be dead and its even funny that your parents and her parents were at the same place the other day, you slept at her place, why didn't they kill you from then or are your parents also working with that witch (Alice becomes embarrassed, she tries to explain, Elaine stopped her) See cause the same Lucida is the same one your parents went to her place if she's that dangerous Why not kill them, if they enemies why not fight and it's funny Matilda, you say she's a threat to you but forgetting that you saw her in the same dream you had fighting on our side. Guys you've misread things, you were wrong judging a friend because of who their parents are, what if she doesn't even have her mothers bloodline? Alice, you've been friends with her for as long as I can remember. Guys sometimes you have to read between the lines, think before you act. Chasing her away doesn't mean the witch won't find you and kill you and for quick reminder remember Suzette as your friend not as your enemy not through the version of who her mother is", spoke Elaine wiping her tears. Matilda and Alice became quiet for a while regretting what they did, tears fell from Alice's eyes. They felt guilty for what they did. Elaine spoke again, seeing they had no tongues to speak anymore. So if you're your true friends and you care about her, you will come with me and go and find her", she said and walked out. Alice called her "I'm coming with you", she said getting up and walking out. Matilda told them to pass her apology to her. She realized she was wrong and due to her state she couldn't go with them. She stayed behind crying hoping they would find her. Suzettte went to their room, took her bag and left. No one had seen her leave. The maids were in the kitchen preparing food for the queen and king whereas the bodyguard where with the queen and king taking orders in the throne room even in the village no one noticed her they were busy with their chores and most of them in the houses preparing for food. That's how she got out. She went from the castle gate as I have said the soldiers were taking orders from the king, Sirius was also with those with the king. She got out crying, wiping her tears, running and not looking back. She had no clue where she was going from here but she hoped she might find a village somewhere around here. She walked, ran and got to the forest. It was so quiet. It was already dawn at that time and the only sound that was heard was the music. There was no sign of any animal. She thought they were asleep or had moved somewhere. She somehow stepped onto something as she walked. She took her phone and lit it up. It was a dead soldier. she lights further, there were many soldiers dead. She turned around to call who was there. No one replied, it was just the music playing. She walked a little bit. She got near a tree, a big palm tree and just before she passed it she saw the bear drinking water from the river. She was about to walk to it when she saw it hurt filled with blood on its coat but that was not a bear it was an evil fairy, which turned itself into a bear in order to get in here. She slowly moved back to the tree and hid from it. The evil fairy flew away to the bridge and stood there. Suzette slowly walked to the next tree quietly, watching her. After a few minutes the fairy flies away to the gate. Suzette ran following her. The gate was near where she was. She got to the gate and the evil fairy stood from there. There were no soldiers, they all died lying on the ground, she killed them all. Suddenly carts came driving inside from the gate. One woman came out and a man came out and an army came flying behind. She looked closely as if they were witches, a whole army of witches. Her heart beating faster, her body sweating. She was so scared. She thought of running away but the woman spoke. She had long horns like all the other witches but were also similar to that man they saw from the witch's house. She was a bit old. She seemed worse than that witch, ILiara. she said "Greeting to you, Jessica so is everything in order", asked the woman witch. "Evelyn, nice to see you too (they shake hands) yes everything, they won't see us coming and all the animals are caged and as you can see the music is still playing. We have to move before it stops", replied the evil fairy Jessica smiling. "I told you we can trust her, she knows her ways and she is a fairy too so where are animals my friend?", asked Evelyn. "Follow me, my friend", answered Jessica walking them to where she kept the animals caged. They followed her, Evelyn, with that male witch, Oscar. The witch seemed dangerous too. His horns were different, they were shaped like the ones of a goat but still long, he was muscular, he wasn't smiling nor speaking he just moved his head up and down. His face grinned, you could see he was also one of the powerful witches. Suzette followed them too, hiding from the tree branches and the army was left behind l. They got to where the animals were. She had kept them hostage in iron cages ,l just after you passed the bridge. Evelyn smiled and clapped her hands whereas Oscar just nodded his head not smiling. Evelyn and the man moved around the animal cages looking at them. They were all so vulnerable. The fishes unable to breath, Birds all in one cage unable to fly. There were too many of them with the horses. They were all losing strength and color. "I think it's time, let's get moving", said the man to the two and the two agreed. Evelyn called out a flirt. Three witches flew over to her. She gave them an order then all the witches flew up whereas the three followed from behind flying slowly. Suzette knew they were going to attack the village. She thought of letting go of the animals but it was impossible. She would arrive late in the village. She was confused, she didn't know what to do. Her friends would think she was the one who called them even if she told them but saw it as a perfect chance to prove she knew nothing. She stood there in the tree thinking of what to do. She heard some noise, the evil fairy and the army flying down again to the ground. She didn't know what they were doing but she saw a perfect chance to run to the village and warn them. She ran like the wind, hiding in the branches. Elaine and Alice searched all the room and no one claimed to have seen Suzette. They saw it for themselves and she went away back to the forest. They ran after her. It was dark outside, everyone in their homes sleeping. They passed the gate while the soldiers were still with the king. They walked out, running to the forest. They got into the forest, Alice fell into a corpse. She looked down, it was a dead soldier, she was about to scream when Suzette closed her mouth. Elaine was following from behind and she also almost fell too when the two held her and hid with her from the tree. It became awkward for a while. Alice spoke "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that. We are sorry for both me and Matilda, it just overwhelmed us. I'm truly sorry", apologized to her crying. Suzette had no time to talk, she just hugged both of them to save time talking and accepted their apology. Her eyes were still on the witches and the evil fairy. Elaine looked around and Alice asked "What happened here?". "Neither do I know but we are not alone in this forest. We have to warn others. That wasn't a real bear but an evil fairy named Jessica and has killed all the soldier's and kept the animals hostage. I think she has some power of some sort, she was able to keep the music playing to blind the people in the village so they won't see them coming so we have to run and warn them. I don't know how fast we can and she also has company with a witch called Evelyn with a male witch, Oscar", answered Suzette checking out for them. "So what are we waiting for, let's go and warn them before it's too late", said Elaine, ready to move. "Okay then let's go", answered Suzette worried what were they doing from that side, why did they fly down so suddenly. They set off and ran, hiding from the tree leaves and flowers. They run like the wind. The soldiers were now outside the gate. Sirius was still inside the castle with a few soldiers. Elaine was running in front, the others following from behind. They came out running from the forest. One soldier heard them. He stood waiting for them. He couldn't hear them from far away. They got closer Suzette spoke "Umm there's a war coming. You have to warn the others' ', she said breathlessly and tired. The soldiers looked at them and laughed, one said "If there was danger the music would have stopped, don't you think so?", asked that soldier, smiling. "Aren't these kids the new ones here? Please forgive them gents they don't know how things work here, they are not even fairies, poor humans. They got frightened by the animals' ', he said, pitying them. "You have to believe us, there's a war coming and all the soldiers from the gate are dead. There were no animals in the forest, they were all caged. Please listen or let us enter so we can speak to the king", begged Elaine hoping they'd listen. Another soldier said, "I think you should go and sleep. " There's no war here, the music is still playing plus the kings are busy and our soldiers are well trained madam", said that soldier dragging them to the castle to sleep. Suzette got out, the soldiers tried capturing her. She dodged them and she spoke questioning their oath "So how do you explain that Jessica's here? I bet you don't know that. she's the one who's behind all that, the evil fairy", she said, hopeful that they would believe her for heaven's sake. The soldiers all looked at one another and one said "That old evil queen. That one died a long time ago. She was killed by the queen herself. We saw her do that your mind is definitely playing games with you now perhaps you heard her name somewhere", said the soldier . "Yeah, perhaps they are traumatized. ILiara must have traumatized them or even mentioned her somehow and enough with this talking, keep quiet now", said the soldier picking up Suzette and the others picked up by the other two soldiers. The girls kept beating them from behind and kicking them. They were not far from the gate When the same white bear came roaring from the forest. They placed them down and two bodyguards went to it, it seemed injured. "Don't that's her, she will kill you, you fools!"shouted Suzette, the others supporting her. The soldiers just looked at them and walked to it. I think this is just a distraction to their actual plan, one of us has to run inside and warn the others``, said Suzette to the two. The soldier heard them and said "No ones going anywhere until we put all this madness of yours to rest", said him. There were other soldiers in the fort, probably ten more except for the three, they came out and stood with them holding the girls so as not to run away. The two soldiers got to the bear. It just fell down in front of them. It acted dead, one soldier said "I think we are late, check its pulse", he said. The soldier moved to the other side. You see the bear slept one sided, its whole body facing the other side. He kneeled down in front of it and he confirmed "It's dead", he said . He got up and kicked it from the stomach. It turned and boom it changed to the evil fairy, Jessica. She kicked them down and stabbed them with a fork. That's when the soldiers started believing them but they were too late. The army of witches had already started flying to the castle whereas Evelyn and Oscar flew down to their friend and they all walked inside. The soldiers run to fight them. The girls immediately ran to the castle but they were too late. The witches had already started burning the houses of the fairies, killing them inside their houses. The fairies were already warned, one by one they took their weapons and ran to fight. It was all chaotic outside, too much noise, there was a battle between the fairies and the witches, and the witches seemed to be winning after all whose army was it, the one only king Oscar. The girls run to the castle despite the chaos. They run straight to the throne room. The king and queen couldn't hear anything and they were still in their meeting with Sirius. The girls entered like crazy, slamming the door. They spoke at the same time "There's war outside, all the animals in the forest were kept hostage and the soldiers killed", they said breathlessly, cutting from their words. The king and queen immediately believed them. They were kind of expecting it but not so soon. Sirius looked through the window and how chaotic it was outside and his people were losing. "It's true sir, the witches are here. Oscar's army here. Soldiers we fight with whatever we have, we've been trained, win or lose we have to protect our people (he shouted), Amandla ", he said running to the basement to take the other swords inside but he was at the table. The soldiers replied running after him "Awethu". "You girls find Aurora for me please and take Matilda out of here. She's in danger", said the queen holding them on their shoulders. The girls did as told but just as they were about to walk out. The three entered by the door, Evelyn, Jessica and Oscar. They entered Jessica leading them. The girls turned back to the queen. The queen and king couldn't believe it? Jessica died in front of them, they looked at one another and it was not surprising with the two but Jessica. The fairy queen spoke "What are you doing here? don't you get it you are not wanted here", said the queen her eyes turning green. "(she laughed) ncoo you frightened that I'm not dead, shouldn't you be happy your sisters alive but instead you're chasing her away again, ncoo( pitying her face) she's scared I will kill her, of course I'm here for revenge", she said laughing. The queen replied with anger "You being alive that doesn't scare me instead I'm worried you will walk out dead this time and I will make sure, and I can see you with your friend", she said fistng but her husband held her back. "Then you must be a fool, you failed the first time to do that so how can you now? I can see my brother in law stopping you , love how I hate it but where is my niece?", she said. "You have no niece here, do you hear me? I would never allow my child near you to hear me and don't you dare touch her", she said, unable to hold her anger. "Okay then enough with this bullshit, we believe you ki I ji have something ours, now hand it", said Evelyn straight. The maids entered, the one that helped the girls entered first and said "And I believe we don't so you might as well leave us here", replied the maid. "What a maid you have here but can we have what's ours", said Evelyn, her eyes also turning purple. "I've forgotten witches can be fools sometimes and no surprise you joined them", said the queen. The king warned the girls to walk out and crawl under the table as they were busy arguing. The girls did so whereas he covered for them. "If you don't then I'm afraid we will have to make you", said Evelyn, already attacking the maids. The maids use their shields to protect themselves. Jessica attacked her sister with her black mavig but her sister was long prepared. She dodged it and realized her power over her eyes, it entered her eyes. Jessica screamed and touched her eyes. The queen jumped over her, Jessica fell down and sat on top of her realizing her green magic to her sisters chest causing her to be weak and unable to breath. "I assume we mean right, magic is useless, why don't we fight like real men", said the king taking a sword. Oscar also reached for him and both of them fought. The girls got out safely from the throne room and on their way downstairs, they met with the soldiers headed to the outside war. They were running all carrying swords, the swords had green sparkles. Elaine went to check Aurora in her room and Alice and Suzette had run upstairs to fetch Matilda. They found her sitting on the couch worried if they found Suzette. The two entered and slammed the door behind them. She turned back to them and ran to hug Suzette and apologize. Suzette accepted her apology but there was no time to talk and to cry. They had to get her out of here but the problem with Matilda was she was unable to walk longer distances nor run. she needed to be a human at least. "What's up with long faces, where's Elaine?", asked Matilda, getting worried. " We have to get you out of here, we've got company. There's a war outside between the witches and the fairies and there's more they are looking for you", said Alice. "Okay so where's Elaine?", she asked, seeing she was not with them. "Elaine went to find Aurora and we have to go to her now", replied Suzette looking outside the window but she sees nothing except for clouds and just trees in the castle. "How far is that child's room?", asked Matilda. "It's not that far, it's just a few stairs then a hall another stairs into hall again then we there", answered Alice. "Okay, I think I can walk there", replied Matilda." We have to be careful we don't know who's looking for us", said Alice walking out first. The two followed. Elaine found Aurora sleeping and her phone placed next to her. She woke her up. She had no time to explain anything. She just told her to wear her shoes so they could go. Aurora did what she was told as she hurried, and wore her shoes but she was filled with so many questions and couldn't hold herself and asked "Why must I wear my shoes? Are we going somewhere? you seemed scared and where are your friends?"asked her, seeing Elaine was not herself, she was rather scared. Elaine, who was peeping on the door, didn't hear her. She was worried about her friends. Aurora jumped off the bed and went to her moving quietly, she touched her arm and spoke softly "Are you playing hide and seek?", she asked. "Yeah", replied Elaine sofly peeping from the door. The girls came running inside Aurora's room. The castle was no more from the other side, windows were broken and also the doors from the front and back were broken. They caught Elaine standing from the door. "Hey weren't you supposed to say you were coming or seeking for us. We ain't playing hide and seek here are we? this is not a game. Tell me the truth, all of you, what is happening here?", asked Aurora standing in between them, stamping her feets. "There's no time for that but you right we have to run away", replied Elaine holding her in her arms. She looked at her crossly "That is not an answer. There's something you're not telling me, what it is?", she said looking at Elaine in the eye. "Okay fine there's a war outside and we have to run away from here", explained Suzette. Aurora hadn't seen Matilda ``What a puppet, does it talk? Why is it standing? ohh no, your the girl mom spoke about, your mothers Lindsay, the 5th queen of the fairy kingdom. ohh my god you actually alive", said Aurora her eyes glittering. Matilda just laughed whereas Elaine told her to keep quiet. "Guys, how do we get out of here? We have to walk out of here so what is the plan?", asked Alice. " There's no plan, we just walk out", replied Alice looking outside the window and wow, the war was getting tense and most of the fairies were down. "I think we have to free the animals. We have to run to the forest now, and neither do I have a plan now", said Elaine holding Aurora's hand. Aurora pulled her hand "So you will just let her walk like that she's too exposed. I will help you", said Aurora holding Matilda in her hands and she turned into a human, to her old young school girl. Elaine, Suzette and Alice couldn't believe their eyes wide open and Alice's mouth was hanging open even Matilda couldn't believe it. She was a human again, a fully flesh human. She even ran to the mirror and looked at herself. She was still the same as beautiful looking more of her mom. "How old are you and where did you learn to do that?", asked Alice, she just couldn't believe it. "I'm 10, mom taught me and it won't last long. It will be over in the morning", said Aurora. "But guys I don't mean to be rude we have to get going", said Elaine, Suzette and Alice Standing next to Matilda pouting. They turned back to Elaine and she had held Aurora's hand and they walked out. The war between the queen and king was becoming too much. Evelyn had killed all the maids, even the one that helped the girls. She then helped Jessica and both fought the queen. She quickly removed the queen on top of Jessica, kicking her from the back of her chest. The queen fell down to the floor. She helped Jessica up who was almost close to dying. The queen got up slowly, Evelyn kicked her down again. Jessica sat on top of her, strangling her to death. The king saw her wife lying on the floor and the two friends ganging up on her. He kicked Oscar in the chest two times whereas stabbing him in the shoulder. Oscar fell down. He then threw the sword at Jessica. It stabbed her in the arm. Jessica let go of her sister and touched her arm taking out the sword. Evelyn got angry when both her teammates were down. She closed her eyes and as the king jumped to kick her, she realized her black magic over him causing him to run over the wall of the throne room, breaking it and he fell outside. He fell into the crowd onto a rock hitting hard on it with his arm. Jessica got up and kicked her sister to see if she was awake. She didn't move, Evelyn spoke "She's down let's move", said Evelyn looking at the queen. "She's not", replied Jessica, building a cage around her sister to trap her with her magic. Evelyn broke down the whole wall of the castle and it collapsed to a million pieces. She then looked outside, all the fairies were down even Sirius had given up defeat with all the other soldiers. The witches had overpowered them. Everything was destroyed outside, all houses, trees, buildings and the gate were all down in ashes. Evelyn smiled from the castle and said "Are you done? We have to get the first gemstone and where is it?", asked Evelyn. "It's kept in the treasure box in there (pointing to the wall)", replied Jessica helping Oscar up. Evelyn bombed the wall and there was the treasure box. She took it out from the broken wall of bricks. The girls were watching from the door of the throne room and had felt the wall breaking from behind them into the boardroom. Aurora was scared and shaking in fear, crying for her parents. Elaine comforted her to keep quiet and leaned her on her chest. Matilda spoke "Guys it seems like they are not looking for me, they are looking for the gemstones and the emerald. I remember now after the second war the gemstones were separated, one with the fairies, the second one with the oceanias, third with the ciampa, the fourth with the Avelons and the last one with the Riven and I don't know where the emerald is. I think the past is repeating itself and it's their quest for all the witches to find them and this one here is the first gemstone holding the power of death and life", said Matilda. "I know where the emerald is, it's in my bag, wait", said Suzette. She slowly ran fast back to the room and luckily she found it. She took all the bags. She came back fast and Aurora said "That gemstone is not there, it is with me (she opens her arm, she was wearing some belt, she touches it the gemstone appears) my mom placed this belt in me. She told me when this day came I should run to John or Mr Goldberg and inside this belt there's a map. it would show me where it is' ', spoke Aurora and Elaine wiping her tears. "So there's no gemstone in there. We will have to use this to our advantage. We will use me as bait to make them focus on me whereas hiding our real plan, you free the queen (pointing to Aurora) and you two handle Jessica and that man (pointing to Alice and Suzette) trust me you can do it and I will fight Evelyn together with Elaine. They all agreed and Evelyn was just about to open the treasure box when Matilda entered, she looked at her smiling and then spoke "Well, well look who's also here Matilda the puppet, she decided to join in the fun", she said laughing and walking to them the others followed from behind . Aurora stood at the back of Elaine. "You", said Evelyn angrily. Jessica spoke "So you think you can fight us as little as you are and ain't you supposed to be a puppet?", asked her. "No, I guess not and yes we are here to kick your asses' ', replied Matilda. The man nodded his face and the fight began. Evelyn realized her black magic over Matilda, Matilda reflected it back to her. Evelyn almost fell, she spoke "So you getting stronger, ain't you?", she asked, making a burble in her hands and that burble contained bats inside and these bats were able to enter a person's body and eat their body parts alive to death. "Then see how you will stop this' ', she said and the burble popped and the bats came flying to Matilda. Elaine got in front of Matilda and burnt those bats with her Phoenix magic. Evelyn couldn't believe it. It was what she wanted from a long time ago to have the Phoenix magic to herself and now the key to it stood in front of her. "Who are you then? and you don't wanna mess with me", said Evelyn pulling Elaine to her with her magic and Elaine felt like she was strangling her. Matilda saw an iron from the table she tooks it and threw it to Evelyn. It hit her in the head, she fell, Elaine flew back down. "So you think you can handle me, we will see", said Jessica to Alice. Her eyes turned red. She breathed out fire on Alice. Alice water it down. Jessica smiled, she spinned her hand and there flowers grew from the ground growing on Alice feets trapping her. Alice bent down touching the floor, the ground teared apart over to Jessica reaping apart from her feets. Jessica stood watching realizing the flowers but the ground was breaking too fast. She fell into a hole. The flowers went back to the ground. Suzette on the other hand stood watching this fearsome man infront of her, she was getting cold feets. The man wasn't laughing. He closed his eyes, Suzette felt something holding her breath and her heartbeat stopping. She felt pain from the inside of her body. She tried moving her hands. She couldn't, her whole body couldn't. She looked at him and then down to her leg, a snake was crawling up to her. She said to herself "I must control his mind but his eyes are closed", she said. She moved her eyes and there something moved from the floor. It was a sword. She was controlling it with her eyes. She looked down and picked it up. She pointed it to the man. It stabbed him in the chest. The snake vanished, the man opened his eyes. He screamed, feeling the pain. The man rolled fire in his hands, Suzette saw that. She knew he would attack her with it and it would burn her to death. She immediately looked at him in his eyes and entered his mind. The man felt his eyes burning and rolled more fire. Suzette spoke to him through his mind. He became confused, turned down the fire and Suzette throwed him down to the ground. Aurora was struggling to open the cage and his father was lying down there on the ground with his army. "Can you open it?", Elaine asked Aurora. "No I can't, there's even no lock in here", replied Aurora crying. Her mother woke up from then her head spinning. She opened her eyes, she saw them "Girls, I told you to run away from here", she said, trying to open the cage. "Mom, I was worried about you", said Aurora, entering her hand in the cage and touching her. The girls sat around the queen in the cage trying to figure out how to break the cage. They could buy it just that they were still unfamiliar with their powers and not noticing the three getting up from the ground. Evelyn was looking at them without making any noise Oscar and Jessica got up too. Evelyn's eyes changed immediately and electric shocks filled the room and lightning came out from her eyes. Aurora lifted her head and saw her, she called "Watch out!", Elaine looked back with the others. They were unprepared, Evelyn realized the lightning ball hit them. Elaine shouted "runnn", they ran away from the cage. Elaine pulled Aurora out who was too exposed from the back of the cage. The girls fell away hitting onto the wall. Elaine and Aurora fell onto a chair whereas the others hitted the wall. The lightning ball hit so hard onto the cage. The queen faced down covering her face. It became quiet for a while, Alice heard a crack next to her as she opened her eyes. she looked up, the wall was cracking and it would fall at any second. The three evils saw this and ran out of the castle. The castles were about to collapse on them. The soldiers together with the king were getting up. The king looked inside, he saw them but he could see that he wouldn't make it if the castle was too close to falling. He prays kneeling down on his feets. The three evil stood outside smiling at the queen and her kids. Alice moved her leg and it kicked the wall. the wall cracked more. She shouted "Watch out!" but it was too late for them to run away. Alice held the queen's hand and the queen held the two Suzette and Alice wheares Alice looked up at Matilda and the two, Elaine and Aurora. Aurora was shaking with fear, all of them then cried and the wall fell onto them in fact the whole castle's roof fell onto them. The three evils were already glowing with happiness. Evelyn turned back to the king "I guess it would now be easy to finish all of you (She called for her friends, and the last stone fell on top of the queen and girls as the two turned, Jessica shouted "Boo! the last stone and they died pretending to cry'', Evelyn shouted to them "let's finish them!", she said, meaning the king and his soldiers. The two laughed. The witches army prepared itself to fight looking at some fairies and soldiers getting up waiting for all of them to get up. The king stood up sadly, Evelyn walked to him with Oscar. He stood ready to fight them with his eyes in that castle. He saw something, a light coming out from the fallen castle where his wife and the girls were. Evelyn and his army turned back and looked too. It was Elaine's necklace, it was glowing, forming a protective layer against them and her eyes red. She removed all the stones on top of them and they came out free. They all got up and stood in a straight line, Elaine had dark red eyes, Matilda with green eyes and Alice eyes blue whereas Suzette eyes were purple black. The queen stood in front of them and her eyes were green like Matildas. They were from the same kingdom whereas Aurora stood next to Elaine. Evelyn couldn't believe it, she shouted "Fight at the soldiers", she turned to Matilda ready to kill her. Oscar took his sword to fight the king where the king stood ready for him. Jessica breathed out fire so filled with anger ready to kill her sister whereas the witch army was ready to attack Suzette and Alice. "We do as planned guys, this is our kill box even if it's not", said Elaine, both her and Aurora flying up to the sky. Elaine had the Phoenixes wings long to her feet. Alice tore the ground with her hands, the witches army fell to the ground into holes. Suzette flew the other army up and ripped their bodies apart. The soldiers fought with more power now defeating the witches. Evelyn realized the lightning ball mixed with the bats over to Matilda but Matilda stopped it with her green magic making a lightning with her green magic and the bats burnt down. She overpowered Evelyn's magic sending it back to her and Evelyn fell to the ground. Jessica realized the poisonous flowers from the ground which breathed out deadly poison and flowers grew from her sister's legs. She didn't stop there but breathed out the poisonous air over to her sister so she could consume it and die but the queen had it all planned. She realized her green magic over the flowers, realizing germinating seeds to stop them from growing, whereas she breathed out the green magic, stopping the poisonous air from getting to her. She then realized a big flower playing music and it kind of made her sister mad. She saw how confused she was and made a thundering ball with her green magic and attacked her and Jessica fell to the ground. Oscar ran up the king with his sword releasing snakes to bite him but the king chopped all the snakes heads and stabbed him down. Elaine flew up with Aurora and stood above the forest. She realized her power and all the cages broke down. The music stopped and the animals were all realized. It gave the fairies more strength. Sirius and his soldiers fought back like hell and all the army of witches went down dead. Evelyn, Jessica and Oscar were just waking up when Elaine spinned from the sky realizing her power to them. The Phoenix power hitted them so hard that they went back to the ground digging holes from it. Jessica, Evelyn and Oscar with his army were all defeated lying in the ground at least for now. Elaine and Aurora flew back down. Aurora on the other hand couldn't stop telling her how powerful she was and even told the others. All their powers disappeared and they returned to their normal selves. "We have to get the clock ticking. It's almost the next day", said the king. "Umm I think we should go separate ways. They have training to do", said Matilda. The queen and king agreed "Okay then you run to the maiden and we will run to the next kingdom, please protect Aurora. I can't take her with me, it's too dangerous and tell the maiden to train her, she's ready", said the queen. "And what about them? What will happen to them when they wake up?", asked Elaine . "Don't worry, the forest will fight them. Let's go, time's not waiting for us", said the king running to the gate. The soldiers followed him together with his wife and the girls. They ran through the forest then to the gate. They got to the gate and they had to separate but Suzette had a better plan. she threw a ring down. Two circles appeared before them showing different forests, one to the maiden and one to the Avelons. she then said "This is the safest and fastest way to travel, trust me", she said running to the other circle and the others followed her and suddenly the two circles disappeared. Mr Mackenzie and Mr Dedekind took turns to drive the car. Mrs Mackenzie could feel the Arolies sisters presence, she said "The Arolie sisters are already here, they've gone south. We have to hurry", she said looking out the window. "Umm we are not that far now, I will take this short cut, please hold on to sites and wear your seatbelts", said Mr Mackenzie driving as fast as he could. "I wonder what's on your mind now and I bet it's not something stupid", said Mrs Barker, holding tight to her seat, her seatbelt on. "No it's not, I'm just gonna jump over the bridge (he shouted) hold on tight!", he said, jumping over the bridge and landed on a pavement near the museum. The car's landing was hell. They bumped into seats and the car almost hit a statue. It was so close to hitting it but luckily it got to a stop. Mrs Barker breathed slowly like she was taking her last breath, she felt her heart stopping, her soul leaving her body and got out first in the car. She was complaining and shouting. The others followed. She went to Mr Mackenzie and held both his ears and twisted them, she said shouting at those ears "Do that again, boy, I will kill you", she said letting go of his ears and shoved him away. Mr Mackenzie held his ears feeling painful, he replied "Yes, mam", he said still holding them. The others laughed, Mr Dedekind spoke "It was not that bad though. It felt quite fun. It's been long I had done that we should do it again man", he said punching Mr Mackenzie in the back. "It never was, in fact you should do it alone. We are too old for that, you almost scared me to death", said Mr Goldberg fixing his glasses, they were a little opaque. They all laughed at him, Mrs Barker helped him. It was too quiet outside the museum. There were no bodyguards outside. They walked to the door. It was locked "Damn how are we going to open that?", asked Mr Mackenzie. "I may have something, try this on to see if it can fit in", replied Mrs Dedekind, taking off her clipper in her hair and giving it to him. Mr Mackenzie tried opening it. "It's quite strange though. There are no bodyguards guarding the museum at this time", said Mrs Barker walking to the other side of the museum. She heard noise, it was music playing slowly in that window. She peeks, they were the bodyguards, they've been drinking, others were asleep, two were sitting hanging from the benches, one carried a bottle of wine and the one faced up singing the song that was playing. She moved her eyes around the room and somehow saw the keys from the one that was sleeping in the branch hanging from his trousers. She thinks of an idea. She then entered. she walked slowly to them.The two bodyguards looked at her, the one who was carrying a bottle of beer walked to her. He shouted drunkily, he kept walking side to side "Hey, old lady, what are you doing here so late at this time? The museum opens in the morning", he said while drinking his beer. "Tell her to come back in the morning. We give no directions here to lost people, this isn't a police station", said the one with keys getting up. He was also drunk, drunker than the one. He kept on holding onto things, he couldn't walk properly by himself. Mrs Barker saw it as a perfect chance to get the keys. Both of them were drunk, they wouldn't be able to fight back nor shoot, making her easier. She then waited for them to get closer to her and kicked both of them with a fly kick, they both fell down. She then took the keys from that bodyguard. She then walked out with the keys. She found the others still tryna open the door, arguing. She walked through th and went to the door, turned the keys, testing each one of them to open the door and boom it opened. The others stood amazed, Mr Dedekind spoke "Where did you get those keys and how?", he asked looking at Mrs Barker. "From the bodyguards. I found them drunk and it got that easy to take them but then I wish my back hurts. I'm in terrible pain. I shouldn't have kicked them with that fly kick", she said touching where the pain was. Mr Dedekind laughed "I thought you were stiff, hey turns out you're flexible. One day I should take you for high jumping, you know", he said still laughing, the others nodded their heads and waitex for Mrs Barker to answer. "Well then I shall kick your ass too because now you are making fun of me plus you will have to rub my back once we settle in", said Mrs Barker so seriously. Mr Dedekind nodded his head behind her and lip sinks "I won't", the others laugh. They entered the museum, they had no time to waste. They rushed straight to the upstairs where the clock was. Mr Goldberg walked to it. He picked up the slummer and hitted so hard on the shield, the shield made a huge sound. The others even closed their ears, the clock started ticking. "We now have to wait for their signal. Hope it reaches them. This has not been done in years" , said Mr Goldberg getting back to the others. "Why wait for their signals whether it reached them or not, let rather go to them. We can't wait for their signals, time's ticking", said Mr Mackenzie impatiently. "Yeah, I'm agreeing with him. One day down, we left with one and the other one has started. I think we will receive their signals on our way to them, we have to use every minute we have wisely, we can't risk it", said Mrs Dedekind. "Yeah, I think we should. We do have no time to waste, every minute counts now to how we spend it and we still have to get the book before the witch finds out", said Mrs Mackenzie agreeing with Mrs Dedekind. "So what are we waiting for? let's go and find that book so where to go from here?", asked Mr Dedekind, ready to leave. "According to what I know we have to go to the mountains of Ethar then through to the hills of tears then pass the forest and walk to the fisherman kingdom where the book is. It was hidden there together with the animal. The fisherman was told to give it food and water, every evening and luckily most of his time he was alone. He goes home on Fridays in the morning and comes back home before dawn to feed the animal so it's possible to get there for us while he's still asleep and take the book. ILiara can't have the power without the book so if we can go right now. We will surely get there in time", said Mrs Mackenzie standing from one of the statues in the museum. "So what are we waiting for? Let's move, we better start driving now so let's move" , said Mr Dedekind, already walking out. "There's something else, neither of this will be easy, where we are going is dangerous. The paths we have to cross are dangerous. Some of us might make it, some won't. Many people have went there including powerful kings and queens, powerful witches known to be strong and never made it out and from the mountains many people died, lucky ones survived the to the hills, although it not that easy pass those hills but at least it just bunch of water but they kill and then to the forest. It consumes people. These places are not friendly, not to humans nor animals, no wonder it is somehow easy to get the book once you pass all the stages", explained Mrs Mackenzie moving away from the statue, it almost fell, she picked it up. She had leaned on it too hard. "That's rather impossible but we have to die trying. That witch can't have the book", said Mrs Barker, already fearing for her life. "Yeah, we will face the consequences and the dangers when we get there but what is important is that we get to the book, we all have to use our powers' ', said Mr Goldberg feeling courageous. "Then we will have to stand united no one will not come back, we don't leave no one behind", said Mr Mackenzie. They all agreed, made fists together and walked out from the museum to the car. The car drove away headed to the mountain first. The bodyguards heard nothing, they had fallen asleep. The sound of the shield and the clock ticking was heard in all kingdoms. The first fire burnt from the Avelons. The fairies had already arrived as promised by Suzette. It was indeed the easiest way to travel.The fairy kingdom was welcomed with warm hands. Mr Houghton came out from a tent and said "I guess the Arolie sisters came to your kingdom too, attacked you and took the gemstone", he said, walking up to them and hugging the king and queen. "We were attacked but it was not them but it was Evelyn, Oscar and my elder sister, Jessica but luckily the gemstone is still with us for now", replied the queen. Houghton calmed down at least they didn't take the gemstone, theirs was taken earlier today. There was no need to ask, it was a mess, some of his soldiers were dead. The kingdom was down in ashes, there was nothing left in it and it was the same story as theirs being attacked unknowingly but it was the Arolie sisters with their army. Their gemstone was taken from them. The purple one, it had the power to keep all restored, safe and unharmed but through evil hands it could tear them down, destroy, cause chaos and that is what the witches wanted for the planets to be destroyed with the world. Houghton led them inside a tent which was the only one left in the kingdom. They were given clothes, the king and queen together with their soldiers. They had been lucky to have found them there, they were moving out to another place. The Avelon soldiers were already preparing to move, packing every weapon and what was left of them. The two kingdoms agreed. They would reunite and send messages to Mr Goldberg and the others. The queen and king used the circle of oracle to tell them of their attack and about the gemstones whereas Houghton and two of his soldiers sent the fire arrows to them with a letter on it, telling them to meet at the "Destination Oz ''. The letter was written by the queen herself. The arrows traveled far to them. The Avelon kingdom and the fairy kingdom weren't the only kingdoms attacked. The Oceanias were also attacked by the Arolie sisters two days before the Avelons. They took their blue gemstone. The water gemstone.They too sent a sign to them, the water fork. Scarlet and Steve managed to find John and the others even though they couldn't destroy all the wizard operations but managed to get back to the next kingdom, the ciampa kingdom. They found it too attacked by Oscar and Evelyn. That's where they had been buried years ago, it's where they died. Evelyn and Oscar managed to get hold of the red gemstone. It had the power to wake the Phoenixes and bring them back to life and also turn into ashes. They sent out the message to Mr Goldberg. John letting him know they made it out safe and managed to escape back from the wizard and that they shall meet at the "Destination Oz '', two birds were then sent with the messages, flying east to Mr Goldberg. There was nothing left in the Ciampa kingdom. They were too moving to the Riven kingdom. John and Scarlett together with the others decided to join in and walked with them. On the way John, Scarlett, Jenny and Jorge together with the king and queen of the ciampa kingdom including the leader of the soldiers came up with a strategy to defeat and destroy the plans of the witches. They would share it with the other kingdom. The last kingdom to be attacked was the Riven kingdom. The Riven kingdom was the first kingdom to be attacked by the wizard in the search of John when he escaped from there. They destroyed everything, taking the last gemstone. The yellow gemstone, the sun gemstone. The Riven kingdom sent out the Abjures to send messages to Mr Goldberg. It was the same kingdom that found out that the second attack and plans of the witches would be in Atlanta where the Phoenixes were and named it "Destination OZ ''. They were preparing for the war between them and the witches.
