Needle and Thread

V. Thimbella Needles

After years of parting ways with the Pink Palace as it was a horrible reminder of her family's deaths. She traveled to state after state with her love Thomas. Eventually they married in the late 1960's to make it official as their love was true as magical powers and other supernatural beings. 

However as time moves on, Thimbella was starting to experience drastic changes within herself. Her limbs were dying out, her skin becoming unlively and pale as a ghost shone through moonlight, even solid and even fragile. What was happening to her? Why  was this happening to her? She felt scared and frighten Thimbella had no words of describing it, even her husband was baffled. That wasn't until at night by the foot of their was Nedra herself in a black dress. The kind of dress she would usually wear in a funeral. 

"Mother!" Thimbella exclaimed seeing their and remembered how beautiful she looked. But her eyes were sad and tad bit of anger inside of them. Thimbella look worried of why her mother was upset. Was it because she married by a man who was mortal? Had she disgraced the family name?

"Are you angry with me?" Thimbella asked timidly.

"No, no. There's something I want to discuss with you." Nedra turns to Thomas.

"I would like to speak with my daughter in private of you please?"

At that Thomas left the room while the women talked, though he closed the door and pressed his ear against it. There was a lot he could hear, Nedra explaining to her daughter of why she's having strange changes.

"It because of your sister Sewlona, she still lives. Her and your powers are linked, what ever changes she goes through you go through them as well."

Her sister is alive! As Thomas hears more of her survival that she was in a small world she can dominate with her own magic. 

"That's wonderful news! We must visit her as- soon-"

"NO! You musn't go there! If you come there, you can never come out. Ever. I left her there as punishment."

Thimbella was confused by this of why her eldest sister was imprisoned by their own mother. So she asked why. Nedra was silent for a moment, readying herself to tell her youngest daughter the truth. Something she wanted, yet hesitant to tell Thimbella for a long time. Considering Sewlona was overprotective it was impossible to speak with her alone. Nedra muttered with the words which made Thimbella gasp in shock. Thomas couldn't hear it himself.

"No, but she couldn't have! Why? Why would she do this?! To you?" Thimbella tears coming down from her eyes.

"Her heart was petrified, stone cold."

One that very night at the house were Nedra was still wide awake doing paperwork while her daughters were asleep. Well, one of them were but the other was up coming down from the stairs silently moving closer to the work room where her mother was there. Tiptoeing further while the floorboards creaked silently underfoot. Sewlona clutched a pair of sharp metallic scissors, the perfect tool to piercing her mother through the heart.  As she steps in the room sneaking up behind her mother but thought stabbing her in the chest will cause her to scream. Sewlona opened the scissors and quickly swiped the blade through Nedra's neck. Blood began to pool over as Nedra gasped and spat. She was dead on the spot as Sewlona carries her body burying her lifeless body near the Pink Palace. Then Sewlona had dragged her lifeless body in the woods, so that the murder would seem it took place there instead from Home. She had used her magic to clean her mother's blood off the floor. Cleaning all evidence and fate take the fall for this terrible crime. 

Nedra, a spirit visiting her youngest daughter telling Sewlona's misdeeds. Thimbella is horrified to hear the destressing news, wanting to stop her older sister before she capture's another victim as prey. Those suffering a terrible fate worse than death. But her mother had told that by going to the other world she can never return back home.

"But how can we stop her? If neither of us can go and back?" Thimbella asked.

"I can go. " Thomas spoke up opening the door. The two women were not surprised that he was eavesdropping on their entire conversation. Thimbella protested saying it was too dangerous, though her mother had an idea. An only option she could think. Perhaps he could go but with a bit of help. From two witches.

Nedra explains her plan to the two couple. She and Thimbella would transform him into a cat so Sewlona would not know it is him with it advantage. He can leave and go as he pleases, anywhere around the Pink Palace. And could talk, too! Before Thomas could accept this, he wanted to say good-bye to his wife. And to his new born daughter, Frimley. Upon hearing this, Nedra makes a happy noise in throat upon seeing the child. She has a granddaughter! 

During Frimley's birth, she was born with beautiful black hair and hazel eye-

The nurse gasped in horror looking at the newborn and exclaimed,

"She has no left eye!"

Sure enough she was right, Thomas and Thimbella's baby had no left eye, but her right eye was the same color as her father's. Bright blue as the daylight light sky. But something had been about her missing left eye, of course. As Thimbella finds a big black button as using her magic of a spell to feel no pain to sew on her daughter much to the nurse's dismay.  Thimbella would scold her for her intolerance of her daughter. To Nedra, with or without the button. Frimley was a beautiful child and would one day become a as powerful and magnificent like her mother. 

As a last to her daughter, Thomas gave Frimly a small golden locket containing both pictures of her mother and father so that she knows who her real father was. At that both witches transformed him into a black cat with pale blue eyes and took a new role as guardian of the Pink Palace.
