Chapter 23

I

had my reservations about coming to the Forest of Gugu, but now I was glad we were here. No one had outright said it, but if the Fisher King saw the corpses I called, he would know I was alive, and he would attack Emerald City to get to me. I would put all my new friends in danger. I’d put Frankie in danger. I knew she could handle herself, but she couldn’t fight my father’s ring.

I liked Gugu. Now that he trusted us, he led us to his court. He had his own way of teleporting. We were gathered around his table with a huge meal in front of us. Zusim warned us we couldn’t hunt when we got here because we wouldn’t know which animals could talk or not, and we didn’t want to offend Gugu. There was meat for the carnivores, and I was eating this wonderful thing called lentils I’d never had before.

Shira, the wolf Locasta captured, was with us. She had all the intel on Locasta’s jail. She paced the table with her tail twitching.

“The jail is a front. They take you through these underground tunnels to a side castle off Locasta’s property. There are labs there where they experiment on you. They may have closed it off since I used it to escape, but there’s a back door that was unlocked that night. They pump us full of sleeping potion, so we stay docile, but the man working that night missed my cell. When he finally remembered, I had come to. I attacked him and escaped.”

Zusim pounded his fist on the table. “How safe is this sleeping potion for pregnant women?”

Frankie touched his arm. “It’s safe, Zusim. We’ll get her.”

“So, what is your big plan?” Shira asked. “Locasta spends a lot of time in that jail, and if she has Glinda the Good, she’ll practically have moved in.”

“That’s where I come in,” Dorothy said. “She’ll want to talk to me. I’ll claim I’ve come to her for help getting home because Glinda has disappeared and won’t help me. I’ll ply her with compliments and butter her up. Frankie will be there cloaked and invisible. She’ll be protecting me and plant a hex bag while she’s there. Hopefully while we’re doing that, the other’s get Glinda out.”

“How do you intend on doing that?” Shira asked. “The place is swimming with guards.”

“Were there wards on the walls, and can you tell us where they keep the high-profile prisoners?”

“You said she’s pregnant? There’s a suite there they’d probably keep her in. And yes, there are wards on the walls. What you need is a distraction. They’ll want to capture me again since I escaped. I’ll distract them and lead them away. King Gugu’s army will be waiting for them. You can move in and get Glinda.”

It was a good plan. It was better than what we had before. I was glad Zusim showed up with more information. We would never have set foot in the Forest of Gugu if it weren’t for him.
