Bryce walked farther down the part of the forest he was in.

"Savannah!" He yelled. "I know you're around! Show yourself! Make this easier for yourself!"

Savannah appeared but as The Hidden Figure. She was wearing a huge black cloak with black boots. Her face was covered with a black ski mask. She was levitating in the air.

"Why are you covering your face?"

"My dear...my dear, Bryce. You're playing with fire." Savannah warned

"I don't think so." Bryce said. "You're hurting-"

"Oh no! You think I like hurting people? If so, I damn right love it."

"You're sick." Bryce said

"I'm the one who's sick?" She said. "Does dearest mommy and daddy know about your little drinking problem?"

"Yes, years ago and it has been fixed. Man, you're slow. If you wanna stalk then do it correctly. Sheesh. But you're irritating me."

"You'll kill me?"

"He won't because you don't deserve that kind of mercy."

Bryce turned around.

"Mom! You can't be here!"

"Yes I can." Queen Brittany said. "I have to."

"Mom-"

"Don't worry, Bryce."

Bryce, knowing there was no reason to argue with her, nodded.

"Brittany! The woman who stole my husband!"

Queen Brittany shook her head.
"Oh girl, get a grip! Whether you like it or not we will defeat you."

"Sis.." Savannah said shaking her head. "Your hair is falling, your coughing blood-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP." Bryce yelled with much anger

"Bryce, it's okay." Queen Brittany said as she put her hand on his shoulder

"Bree Bree, honey! It's the alcohol making him irritable!" Savannah said through her laughs

"No it's not!" Bryce exclaimed. "It's YOU."

"Yeah okay." Savannah said

"That's it." Bryce said. "Savannah or Hagatha, I'm not playing. Show your face."

Savannah sighed and came to the ground. Then she removed the mask off her face.

Bryce and his mother gasped at her face. She looked elderly and weak. Like a true evil witch in those fairytales.

"She looks like the one that tried to give Snow White that apple." Bryce said

"She really is a hag." Queen Brittany said in astonishment

"Why do you look like that?" Bryce asked

"Because time is running out!" She yelled. "By now, I'm supposed to be with Lucian!"

"You had many times to strike, why didn't you?!" Queen Brittany shouted back at her

"Because it was difficult!" She yelled back. "Fighting a force of nature is not something easy!"

"So why continue this?!" Bryce yelled. "If we're not easy to handle then why didn't you leave us alone?! Why continue to stay, why work as the secretary of the Air Kingdom, help lead the Air Kingdoms' justice department, why make the girls friends, why marry someone else and have children?! Why?!"

"Ugh! I swear you royals don't listen!" Hagatha spat. "It takes time! If I wanted to win, I had to play this out very safely. I had to be the sweet, funny, and gentle-"
