Mimosa's POV

Ivy looks so concentrated, I don't even know if she knows what she is doing.

Suddenly something inside me changes. After the change stops Ivy collapses on the table.

"Ivy? Are you okay?" For a few minutes I think she fainted but then she moves again.

"I'm okay. Did it work?" She sounds tired.

"Only one way to find out." I wink at her and pick up the note she wrote and put it in my bag. "Get home safely, text me when you're at home. I need to get going." I hug her quickly.

I'm back at the palace but haven't dared to look at myself yet. I know there is a giant mirror in the lobby. I walk in through the doors and straight to the mirror.

As I see my reflection I gasp. That beautiful young woman can't be me! (Yes we age differently here, yes I'm still a young woman.) I've always just see that old grandma with wrinkly skin.

I remember the note and that I need to explain to the queen. I walk to the stairs and towards the queens rooms.

"And that's why my abusive husband is now an old man?" The queen asks me when I end my explanation. I'm shocked.

"Abusive? What did that bastard do?" I get angry and almost leave the room to beat up that racist but the queen grabs my hand.

"Dear Mimosa, please calm down. I'm just happy I have you back and that I will soon get rid off that awful man." She kisse my cheek and I blush, she still makes me feel like a small schoolgirl who has her first crush and is all giddy about it.

"Celeste, you're the most important thing to me. I don't want anyone ever to harm you." I hug her tightly.

"Mimosa please don't cry!" That's when I notice the tears rolling down my cheeks. "Darling everything will be okay. We are back together now and everything will turn out just right. I promise you." She kisses me and even after all these years I recognize that kiss. That loving, adoring kiss, wondering if you really can be this happy and lucky. I answer her kiss and never want to let go.

Ivy's POV

I walk slowly home, the pain on my ribs too dominant for me too feel anything else. I couldn't close my jacket because the blood is seeping through my shirt already but I'm trying my best to cover it anyway. What will I say to mum about my bloody shirt?

When I'm at home I text Mimosa and she replies with  a picture of her and whom I assume is the queen. They look so happy it makes me happy.

I take a shower and can't help but yelp as I see the new cut. It's thrice as big as the first one and twice as deep. It will leave a scar, I'm pretty sure about that. I feel sad. But now I need to take care of it. The water hurts and I hiss.

Almost my entire torso is under bandages. I'm happy it's almost winter and I can use thick sweaters that don't show the bandages.

Well the cut and picture shows that it worked at least. I'm happy I could help Mimosa get her love back from that horrible racist.

Oh yeah, Mimosa gave me a note. I need to read that.

Hi, my little Mystery friend.

Well now you have been announced so DON'T use your magic! It will simply make the competition even tougher. Even more people will be after you and you might end up in really sticky situations. I hope you will get through it easier than any of us did.

All the strength to you.

P.S. Burn the note.

I looked at the note, shocked. I had used my magic after I got this note. Which means I used my magic after I've been announced. Which means I just put myself in a whole lot of trouble. Darn it! Why can't I ever do something right?

I need to be careful this will end up like with the last Mystery, she didn't get to marry the one she loved. But I'll handle the king and then she can marry Mimosa finally. I need to erase that law too.

Will I be able to get through all of this? I hope so.

I lie down on my bed carefully because of the cuts on my right ribs. I'll try to clear my head.
