Finally, it was sunset. Virginia was getting more and more nervous. She was thinking about her husband's and son's destinies. What would happen to them, what will her "dead" mother do?
Wolf smelled something:
- It's her. She's here. But I don't see her.
- Are you sure?- Asked Virginia.
- I never miss a smell.- he replied.
- Wolf, I'm scared.
- Don't be scared my love. Just go and sit beside Lucy. I'll handle this.
He kissed her lips, hugged her, like he was saying don't wait for me. When he turned to go to the lake, Virginia, with tearful eyes, said:
- Wolf, please be careful.
- I will creamy girl.
- And please come back with Mike.
- I will. I promise. And no matter what, remember.. I love you.
- I love you too.
He left. Virginia sat under the tree, waiting for her husband to come. Hoping that he would return with their son. Both aive and unharmed.
Tony was walking in the corridors. he didn't know what to do, so he went out, to the garden. After a few minutes, Wendell joined him.
- Anthony, I see that you are concerned.
- I'm just tired of sitting, that's all.
- I don't think so. You have everything you need here. You never get tired or bored. Tell me what's concerning you. Is it Virginia?
- Yes. I don't know how is she doing out there, and I'm sitting here, like I don't care at all!
Wendell decided that it is time for them to go to the lake.
- Do you want to go there?
A smile raised on Tony's face.
- I thought you'ld never ask. Come on! Let's go!
- All right, just as soon as the servants prepare the horses.
- Horses? No way! I'm not riding a horse! Not even for a million dollars!
- O.K. then, we'll take the wagon.
Wendell called a servant, ordered him to prepare a wagon for them. After 20minutes king Wendell and Tony left the palace, heading to the lake.
Wolf stood alone at the shore. He was waiting for someone or something to show up. Suddenly, he felt the ground moving. The calm, blue lake turned into a black, wild, wavy one.
Wolf didn't move. He thought that he might get hurt if he did so. He saw a big hole in the middle of the lake. It grew bigger, and a huge rock appeared in it. It raised, andthen he saw her at last. Queen Christine. Standing like a rock herself. Wearing all black. When Wolf saw her he thought - "There she is. Huff-puff, she hasn't changed".
- Hello Wolf.- She called.- It's been a long time.
- Where's my son.- He replied, trying to appear as much confident as he could.
- Oh, he's fine. He's here.- (Pointing to a rock behind her)- So, where's your precious wife?
- here in the woods. Now, you wanted me. I'm here. Give me back my son.
An evil smile rose on her face. She picked the child, who didn't realize what was going on. he saw his father and suddenly said:
- Dada.
Wolf was surprised. That was MIke's first word ever.
- Huff-puff! He spoke!
Mike started to cry. The queen got closer to the water and dropped the child in it.
- No! What're you doing?!- Wolf jumped into the water, trying to save his son. While he was swimming toward him, he started to feel weak. he felt pai in ach muscle in his body. The queen stood there, on the huge rock in the middle of the lake, smiling and watchng how Wolf was dying, while he was trying to save his son.
- You'll die before you can get to him.- She said.
Finally, Wolf raeched to his son. He held him above the surface of the water. he was getting more weaker.
The smile on the queen's face dissapeared when she someone on the shore. She knew that person, but she didn't expect to see her.
Virginia was holding a little stone in her hand. Tears on her face. Her eyes were red. She has been crying all the time since Wolf left to the lake.
- You will not take my husband and son from me!- She said.
- Oh, I'm not taking them. I don't want them. But, the Magic Lake does. Look at your beloved husband. he's dying without realizing that.
- I hate you!- Shouted Virginia and throwedthe stone to the queen.
The little stone flew forward. It started to shone, and suddenly it turned into an arrow. Before she can move, she put her hand on her neck. She couldn't stop the bleeding. Virginia watched her mother dying for the second time. But this time it was forever. A big hole opened under the queen's feet. She turned into ash, and dissapeared. The hole was closed. The huge rock dissapeared. Wolf was getting closer to the shore. Virginia ran to him, took Mike from his hands and brought him out of the water.
- Stay here honey, I'll bring daddy and we'll be back, O.K.?
She ran into the water again. Wolf was floating on the surface, face down. She pulled him to the shore. His skin was pale. He wasn't breathing.
- Wolf, can you hear me?- She called, but there was no reply.
- Wolf! Oh my God, he's not breathing! Wolf! Please don't die, don't leave me! Not now!
Wolf smelled something:
- It's her. She's here. But I don't see her.
- Are you sure?- Asked Virginia.
- I never miss a smell.- he replied.
- Wolf, I'm scared.
- Don't be scared my love. Just go and sit beside Lucy. I'll handle this.
