Sage walked back up to her room in a trance. Her mind kept screaming out how wrong all of this was even though she didn't have a choice. It would be better for her to forget all of this. She doesn't want this for her life, she thought to herself as she opened the door to her own room. She sunk down in front of her bed and stared out the open window across the room. She would rather live out a normal life, even if it is a lie, than to be dead.

She watched the clouds rolling by outside as she tried to clear her mind then gave up and dropped her head down into her hands letting the tears fall that she had been holding back. Images of Destiny's lifeless body falling to the floor played out when she closed her eyes, reminding her that this wasn't a bluff. She had cost the young girl her life, a life that she had just began to live, by butting heads with the Queen. She wouldn't risk Nicole's life.

Drying the tears away roughly with her fingers she took a deep breath, solidifying her resolve to do what was best for her friend even if Nicole wouldn't understand. "It doesn't matter anyway. When I'm done she won't remember me so she can't be mad," Sage sighed then grabbed the bag of beauty supplies from her bed and hurried out the door.

All too fast Sage stood staring at the large oak door that served as the last barrier between her and carrying out the plans that would change Nicole's life forever. Her heart beat in her chest as if it was trying to escape the pain that was waiting on the other side of wall. She pulled the enchanted necklace from her waist band and stared into the emerald stone as it dangled from her hand, "I can't do this." She hid the jewel back in her pants then backed away from the door knowing this would be her own death sentence.

Have you forgotten so quickly, Sage? Teya's voice rang out in her head stopping her where she stood. The tone of the queen's voice was sickly sweet making Sage's stomach tighten into a knot.

"No," Sage whispered. Defeat was suffocating her with each passing second. She swallowed hard to push back the bile rising in her throat.

Fail me and you will suffer a fate much worse than death, my dear.

The words were so clear that Sage looked around the small space expecting to see the queen standing behind her but only found an empty stairwell. She took a deep breath as she tried to think of a way out of this spiraling disaster but before she could release the air from her lungs a searing pain rippled through her body from head to toe, dropping her to the floor. She wanted to scream out but her mouth was clamped tight by the electricity streaming into her muscles. The energy twisted and contorted Sage's body causing her back to arch painfully and her legs to draw up to her chest.
