The Maze of Fear

Act 2 part 2

Twinkle made her way towards the castle. God this is depressing. She tried to ignore that pain that was coming from her wing and her knee. Bit it was do hard. Especially since she was alone and no one was there to lift her up and help her. She was thinking how is she supposed to find the wand? She has to search each fairy? Is there a clue,  a light.  The witch didn't gave much context, in fact the witch was ready to kill her on the spot after finding out about her mistake. 

She sighed and decided to whatever it will be she will find a way to face it off. She arrived at the front of the castle. She saw the faires..poor creatures..one didn't had arms, another was walking with her head in her arms, one had he wings ripped. Most of them looked like fairies who were killed in The Erosion . Oh the Erosion..one of the heartbreaking events in fairy history.  She doesn't remember much of it. She was 10. But when she found out Alex was part of it, made her heart sink, but then when she heard the full story, she saw pity, and didn't blame him much anymore. He was 14,he just followed orders and he paid the price for sparing her. She closed her eyes but when she opened them back she was in dragon's territory.  How did she get there. She heard the swords and fairies screaming she looked over,seems like she was again stuck in the middle of an Erosion attack.
Many fairies and knights fighting, fairies falling down. Their arms being ripped their wings pulled out their backs. They had no heart. Although Alex said he couldn't do any of that, liked to get the job done fast so he could "get the fuck out of there fast" as he once told Twinkle. But other's weren't so merciful., they feared the King, his punishments were harsh, he was capableof hurting his nephew...his own blood. She saw Estrid..oh Estrid.. Grand Fairy's older sister..a sweet woman. A power no one saw before. All Twinkle could remember was how they cut her head off with no mercy. Estrid was like a mother to Twinkle, she misses her everyday.

Twinkle closed her eyes in fear, she opened them again finding herself back at the front of the castle, she tried to calm down so she doesn't burst out crying. She tried to think logical, where could the wand be? She saw the Fairy who was walking with her head in her arms. She decided to try there, maybe she will have an answer.  She catched up with her

"Hello?" She called

The fairy looked at her.

"Do you think where I can find the golden wand?" Twinkle asked

The fairy turned around in the direction Twinkle could find the wand. She was looking in the direction of a fairy who had half her face ripped off and one wing. Twinkle got the hint and went there.

The fairy saw her and smiled, but not a welcoming smile,no no..it was a spiteful smile

"H..hello.." Twinkle said

"Looking for the wand ey? I have it,but I know who you are..." she said looking at Twinkle up and down

" I'm trying to fix this.."

"Your efforts are futile, but..I'll let you try, just to see you FAIL!" She laughed

Twinkle looked away

"To get the wand from me you must find it. I  hid it somewhere, and you'll have 30 minutes to find it, if you do you can keep it, if not I'll have to finish you off!"

Twinkle gulped at the thought. 30 minutes seems...to little.

"Your area of search will be from the fountain until...there"

she said pointing her finger to the entrance of the castle, to not get confused the fairy creates a dome around them acting as Twinkle's search area,and it was a pretty big one too.

"The unicorns pass every thirty minutes,the last one just passed now so there will be another 30, the moment I see the unicorn the game is over,and you die"

she said. Twinkle began searching every common spot but she found nothing, she then searched the least common ones. Around the stairs,the bushes and even in the fountain. But nothing, nothing nothing NOTHING.

Twinkle started to panic there was no way she could tell the time and she wouldn't know when the unicorn might pass anytime now. She was sweating and in all that panic she forgot about the pain. She was about to accept her defeat and soon death when with the corner of her eye she spotted the Wand. It's was on top of the fountain, Twinkle managed to climb up there and picked it up running to the fairy just in time as they both saw the unicorn pass

"Gotta give it to you little mistake, you did it. I didn't expect much of you but you've left me quite impressed, take the wand, good luck into getting the book."

She said leaving.  Twinkle sighed and looked towards the entrance,  she didn't knew if she was ready of what there would be inside but she knows she has no choice but to go in. Her wing stopped hurting. Maybe she can find something to fix it later, but now she had other priorities.  She took a deep breath and went inside
