She aimed the fairy dust at the Charmitorium. The dust swirled, then disappeared through the crack beneath the door. She lowered her pom-poms and took a long breath. The devious deed was done. There was no going back. If regret, worry, or guilt tickled her conscience, it was too late. She’d cast dark magic at a fellow student.

It shouldn’t take too long. A fairy would notice immediately if her wings—

A heart-wrenching cry arose from inside the Charmitorium.

Chapter 11

Wilted Wings

Faybelle tossed the pom-poms aside. She didn’t want anything to arouse suspicion. When she stepped back into the Charmitorium, she would prove to everyone that she was, without a doubt, a natural-born performer. She would astonish them all with her ability to act as if she knew absolutely nothing about Farrah’s wilted wings.

She opened the doors. “What in Ever After is going on?” she asked as innocently as possible. “Did something happen while I was on my MirrorPhone?” She batted her lashes and put her hand to her heart, as if concerned. Oh, she was good.

Farrah stood alone onstage, all color drained from her face. “My—my—my wings,” she stammered. She spun around. “They won’t unfurl.” She spun again, her long blue hair twirling with her. “What’s wrong with them? This has never happened.” A strangled whimper escaped her lips. “I don’t understand. I—I—” She turned and looked imploringly at Faybelle. “What’s wrong with me?”

Faybelle shrugged. “How should I know? I wasn’t anywhere near you when this happened.” She said this loudly so everyone in the Charmitorium could hear. “You’re not accusing me of anything, are you?” She clenched her jaw, ready to defend herself if necessary. If magic was suspected, she’d point to the other fairies in the room. They were as capable of casting a spell as she was.

“No, of course not.” Farrah’s eyes seemed as wide as tea saucers. “But my wings aren’t working. Do you know what it could be? Has this ever happened to you?”

Poor, misguided creature. She wasn’t accusing Faybelle. She was looking to her for advice.

Faybelle flew onto the stage and stood next to the little Goodfairy. It was the perfect opportunity to showcase her superior physical attributes. She took her time strutting around Farrah, pretending to inspect Farrah’s wings. But in truth she was giving Justine time to observe the difference between the two fairies. I’m taller, stronger, and much more regal, Faybelle thought. The choice is obvious. I’m your wicked fairy queen.

“My, my, this is a mystery,” Faybelle said, feigning confusion as she touched one of the limp wings. The sight of the stricken appendages was indeed shocking. For a moment, Faybelle’s chest felt a little heavy. She wondered if she’d done the right thing. But then she pushed that thought from her mind. She made some tsk-tsk sounds. “I have no idea why your wings are just hanging there. It’s so unattractive. My wings always work.” To prove her point, she lifted off the stage and soared over the audience, skimming their heads. Ashlynn and Briar ducked.
