A Tale Before Time

The Truth

Willow's POV:

   I started to wake up and found myself in my room. I shot myself up and out of bed and looked at my outfit it is from last night for the trail. I heard a knock on my door and ran up to the door, to see that it way Agatha. 

"OH, thank God your okay." Agatha told me and hugged me. 

"What happened? How the hell did I get to my room?" I asked her in a panic, confused about everything, how I got to my room, how I'm even still a live after being straggled by vines during the trail before passing out.

"Tedros saved you instead of Sophie during the trail. He must of brought you to Professor Dovey and she healed you after you got straggled by Rafal. There's also one more thing." Agatha told me.

"What is it?" I asked her confused.

"Sophie is missing, I told Professor Dovey about Rafal and we went over to Lesso. She about what happened in the classroom with Sophie, but Rafal wants her for something but no one know what. Both schools are looking for her now but we are going to the Evers Ball." Agatha told me and I was shocked. Sophie is missing.

"But we need to find Sophie." I told her.

"I know, but that is what the Headmaster wants us to do. He told me that if we find her at the Ever's Ball is to bring her to him. But right now we are going to get ready for the Ball tonight." Agatha told me and grabbed a gown for me and hanged it on the closest door. I looked at it and it was beautiful. Agatha had her dress on, her makeup done, and hair done for the Ball tonight. She took me to my vanity and helped me out of my dress from yesterday. She grabbed a rob for me and I put it on and sat down at the vanity. She started to brush my hair and I couldn't stop think about what happen and why Tedros would save me instead of Sophie. 

"Agatha, can I ask you something?" I asked her.

"What is it?" She asked me.

"Why would Tedros save me instead of Sophie? Wasn't he in love with her?" I asked her and she sighed as she started to curl my hair. 

"He may have been in love with Sophie but not like you." She told me but I stayed silent.

"He truly loves you as more than a friend. Willow he choose to save you because he knew the risk about what would happen to you if he didn't save you instead. After he saved you, I saw the way he looked at you as he held you in his arms, he really loves you Willow. Why don't you believe it?" Agatha asked me and I sighed as she put a pearl headband on me and started to pin it into place to hold everything in place and the started to beautiful pearl head piece on my head.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just... Ever since my father disappeared, I never really understood what love is. But when I realized that I was in love with him, I kept telling myself that it was a dream and that he couldn't love someone like me." I told Agatha. She finished my hair and then pulled up a chair next to me and made me turn to face her so she could do y makeup. 

"Willow, there are so many people here that care about you like me, Professor Dovey, some of the girls in our classes to. But Tedros, he loves you. You are his one true love and let fear get in the way of that." Agatha told me and I just stayed silent as she worked on my makeup. As she finished my makeup, it was already almost time for the Ball. I walked over to my gown and put on a pair of white heels first before putting the dress on to make it easier on myself and Agatha. 

   After Agatha helped me in my gown and put on jewelry, we walked to the where the Ball was being held at in the school. As we walked closer to the Ballroom, I started to hear music from the room getting louder as we get closer to the Ball. Agatha went ahead of me and I stayed back a little bit to catch my breath before walking in and down the stairs. As I looked around the room seeing people dancing, I saw looking for Tedros. I reach the end of the stairs and saw Tedros, in a dusty blue suite. Are eyes lock and I took a deep breath and started to walk to him.
