Tracy rubbed her head in frustration. She couldn’t remember anything serious aside being touched by someone from behind.
Tracy immediately ran to the entrance of the cave that was already open, Tracy could see the mountains that surrounded the cave from inside. She became happy that there was an escape route for her after seeing the open exit.
However, the unexpected happened, Tracy tried to leave the cave, but she couldn’t. Apparently, the outside of the cave was visible to her, but the cave was magically blocked. A transparent cover was magically used, that was why Tracy could see outside the cave.
Tracy burst into tears, she didn’t know who kidnapped her and what the person who kidnapped her intended to do to me. Agnes abandoned her, if she had known, she wouldn’t have followed Agnes.
Strangely, Tracy missed her sister. She missed how her sister always liked to be around her, pestering her life. Tracy just wanted to go home Instead of being trapped in the cave.
Tracy, in tears, looked around the cave, it was neatly kept, unlike most caves. It seemed the person who lived there was an extremely neat person.
Tracy forgot her ordeal for a while and began to look around the cave. There were female stuffs there which indicated that the person living there was a woman.
Tracy gasped when the image of that strange woman flashed through her mind. Yes, it was the woman who kidnapped her. But the woman’s room didn’t appear fetish as the woman looked.
Come to think of it, what if the woman was the powerful enchantress Agnes spoke about?
Tracy’s eyes spotted the magic mirror, and she was drawn to it. The mirror was a square-shaped mirror. The mirror frame was water like colored, and it was beyond beautiful. Tracy flew over to it and began to caress it gently, she loved the feeling she got from caressing the mirror that she forgot she was trapped in a cave. The mirror was so smooth and also felt icy, making her love is more.
“Get off my mirror now!” Cold shivers went down Tracy’s spine when she heard a voice roaring at her. Before Tracy could even process what was happening, she felt someone pulling her hard from behind, away from the mirror, Tracy almost lost balance and almost fell if not for her wings.

Beatrice tried all the spells she knew to wake Tracy up but all to no avail. Only God knows what Mitchell did to her daughter. It’s been over a week and Tracy was still sleeping, Beatrice was losing her mind.
“Is she dead, mistress?” Agnes asked, Agnes badly wanted Tracy to wake up, so her mistress could proceed with the spell breaking, she wanted to be recognized as the right-hand woman of her mistress when the spell was broken. Agnes hated the fact that she was born into a family that was wretched and never loved her. She also wanted to have a feel of what it was like to be a royal or a person of high caliber.
“Don’t ask useless questions!” Beatrice roared and Agnes immediately bowed her head. Agnes knew how frustrated and angry her mistress was. It’s been almost two weeks of waiting for Tracy to wake. The intended day for them to execute their plan has long passed.
“We need to go gather food, and I’m sure you don’t expect me to be the one who’ll carry them,” Beatrice spoke, heading towards the entrance of the cave and Agnes followed her.
Beatrice sealed the entrance of the cave with a very transparent magical wall that will make it impossible for one to know it was covered.
They spent a lot of time gathering the food and, as expected, Agnes was the one who carried the heavy loads of food. They both flew to the cave, and they entered but were met with something shocking; Tracy was awake, but she was doing something unacceptable.
Beatrice fumed in anger when she saw Tracy caressing her mirror with a smile on her face. She was jealous and possessive of her mirror, so seeing Tracy touching it with so much emotion written on her face felt like Tracy wanted to steal it.
“Get off my mirror now!” Beatrice yelled and without thinking she flew to where Tracy stood and pulled her away from the mirror forcefully, that Tracy almost fell hard.
*****
Tracy’s eyes burned with anger after she was pushed. How dare a nobody like that woman push her away like that? She was the first daughter of the most powerful and richest fairy king ever known, so this stupid mirror wasn’t something she couldn’t afford. She was wealthy!
In anger, Tracy created a ball of fire and threw it at Beatrice. Beatrice, who initially didn’t notice the fire thrown at her, tried dodging it when she eventually saw it, but it was too late. The fire hit the arm of her dress and the dress began to burn.
“Mistress!” Agnes screamed in fright and agony, and for the first time Tracy noticed her presence. Without hesitation, Tracy flew to Agnes and gave her a resounding slap. Tracy’s attention was now completely fixed on Agnes.
“You sly fox, where have you been? You left me alone to die, right? I never knew you hated me this much. How could you, Agnes?”
While Tracy’s attention was on Agnes, Beatrice, with just a snap of the finger, turned off the fire.
Beatrice’s eyes darkened in anger. This Tracy kept ruining things for her; first it was her well orchestrated plan, and now it was her dress. She raised her hands to attack Tracy but stopped midway. It took her months to lure Tracy out of her kingdom. Furthermore, she was the only royal who she could access easily, so destroying her chances out of anger was the most foolish thing she would ever do. She just had to wait for the right time to deal with Tracy, and that right time was after she had succeeded with her plan.
“How can you say that, Your Highness? I never left you. For almost two weeks now, you’ve been asleep, and I have been looking after you. If I had abandoned you like you thought I did, you would have been long dead as a result of being the prey of those wild animals in the forest. I’ll never abandon you, you are the first friend I ever had. You are the first person who accepted me just as I was without shaming me for being an orphan and for being poor. You are like a sister to me, and I’ll do everything to keep you,” Agnes spoke with tears gushing down her eyes. Agnes needed to win Tracy over to their side, and crying was the only thing that came to her mind.
Beatrice was beyond stunned; she never knew Agnes was a good actress like this. Agnes was even shedding tears like she really meant what she had just said. It seems she (Beatrice) really underestimated her maid. This girl was this skilled at pretending, and she (Beatrice) never knew. It was a new discovery to her and she loved it. Agnes could really use some touching drama to deceive oblivious and foolish people, and it was to their advantage.
Tracy thought about what Agnes had just said. Agnes was right, the last place she remembered seeing herself was the forest and when she woke up, she found herself lying on a bed inside the cave. It made sense! It was logical! Agnes took care of her while she was asleep, but why did she sleep for that long? Maybe after traveling a long distance, her body needed rest.
But who was this woman that exuded a strange and dangerous aura?
“I’m the powerful enchantress you heard about,” Beatrice introduced herself, sensing Tracy’s thought.
Tracy’s eyes widen in shock!
