Of Two Worlds

Dark-Eyed Beauty

A few weeks later

I'd proven my loyalty a few times to Zelena and now she took me everywhere but she also brought Chistery with us to 'make sure I stayed in line', I think it's just because she wanted two monkeys like in the stories, you've got the leader then the two backup guys, Chistery and I. They'd also found me singing to myself at night then told Zelena who then listened in the next night claiming I had an 'enchanting' voice which I don't believe but I wasn't about to go against the 'Wicked Witch of the West'.

I'd also gotten a new outfit which I loved, the hat was adorable and the cloak was full of red and brown shades. I walked into the main room to find her picking up her broom "Ah Circey, I was just about to send for you, the witch look really does look fabulous on you" I smiled "what can I do for you miss?" She put the broom against he table "I need you and Chistery to assist me to the Enchanted Forest, I need to talk to my sister. Oh and please, call me Zelena" I tipped my hat to her "well 'Zelena', I'm glad we're leaving the yellow brick road, I could use some new scenery. Should I go find Chistery?"

I saw him hop next to me "I'm already here m'lady" I smiled and offered my hand as he usually did "Circe or Circey is fine 'Sir'" I heard him laugh a little "Point proven Circey" I saw my father in his animal form, I nodded at him as I heard him screech "you can do it"  Chistery must've understood since as soon as the high pitched noise left my father's mouth, he squeezed my hand comfortingly

"he's right" Zelena needed to prepare something last second so I crouched down to him "I'm hoping 'I stay in line' and don't mess up her plans, no one wants to be on the bad side of the 'wicked witch'" my father crawled down and sat beside his co-monkey "so what are you? The 'monkey witch'?" I laughed "I don't know, I never thought about it. I'll leave it up to my boys to decide between 'ape' or 'lemur' witch"

I saw Zelena walk back in with her necklace and my spell book in hand "just in case I need my favourite witch, to cause a distraction" then I saw another monkey with her "Raziel wanted to come along, he's backup" I put my book into my satchel which was hidden under my cloak and offered my hand to 'Raziel' who slowly took it. Once outside I transformed and took off with the other two, I hadn't realised Zelena had a portal bean on her so I was a little surprised when she threw on in front of us but none the less we made it.

As soon as Zelena dismounted, turned back and stood straight "What's the plan Zelena?" If I was here, it was on her accords so I wanted to know what they were "I need you to 'attack' the evil queen, she'll most likely be with Snow White in a large group, take Raziel with you" I nodded and transformed back into an ape with Raziel's hand.

I searched above the trees then I saw them, two ladies in the woods with a long trail of people nearby, I hollered to Raziel to circle the area as I'd be back soon. I got closer but they saw me so I rose again and dove for them merely dodging a fireball then gripping the 'evil' queen's wrist pulling her up but her sleeve split causing me to cut her wrist with my claw and lose grip.

I was about go for it again but an arrow almost hit me, it was too close so I pulled up and met with Raziel, but I needed to ask him something so I spoke ape again "you think that's good enough?" He nodded gently, I guess he understood me. I had a good idea of how to make our 'guests' feel 'welcome' so I told him to tell Chistery and Zelena of my plan just so they knew why I didn't return instantly.

I watched him fly away into the distance before descending down into the woods where I became human again and fixed my dress and hat then watched the group talk about 'the enemy'. I overheard a particularly interesting one between the queen and what was either a munchkin or a dwarf, so interesting that I could use it for my entrance. I walked into the middle of the track a little away from them.
