Wolf stood close to her, put his hand around her waist, and whispered to her:
- Don't worry honey, they won't harm you. I promise.
- I hope so.- She whispereed back.
- You know, I smell Lucy. She's close. But the funny thing is, that I am smelling another familliar scent. But I'm not sure who is it.
- Let's wait untill Wendell finishes this conversation.- Said Virginia.
Wendell was talking with the Dwarf King about some undone works between them. Then he said.
- You know, we are here trying to find a friend of ours.
- A friend? Here?- Asked the King.
- Yes. Her name is Lucy. And she told us that she is a close friend of yours.
When Wendell said the name "Lucy" the King's face expression changed. He wasn't sure if Lucy wanted to see them or not. She has told him everything that happened to her since she met Wolf and Virginia.
- Well, lucky for you, she is here.
Virginia was relaxed now. She let out a sigh.
- Can we see her?- She asked.
- Well, I must ask her first. If she accepts, then I'll lead you to her. I'll go and see what she says. Wait for me here.
Before he could leave, Wolf asked:
- Is there another half-wolf here? I mean beside me and Lucy.
- I don't think so.- The king replied and left.
Wolf got confused. That smell was so familliar to him, but he couldn't remember whom it was.
The Dwarf King entered Lucy's room.
- They're here.
- All of them?- She asked.
- Yes, including Wendell.
Lucy looked to the ground sadly.
- Do you want to talk to them?
- Only to Virginia at this moment.- She replied.
- All right, I'll call her.
The king went to his office again.
- She wants to see Virginia. No one else at this moment.
- Huff-puff! What about Wendell?- Asked Wolf.
- Only Virginia she said. Now, will you follow me? I'll take you to her room.
Virginia and the king left the office leaving Wolf and Wendell there. Virginia knocked the room's door.
- Enter.- Said Lucy from inside.
- Lucy?- Said Virginia.- Oh, Lucy, I'm so glad that you're all right!
She ran to her and hugged her.
- Virginia I'm happy to see you here. I'm sorry that I left without saying goodbye.
- You scared me alot! what happened? I mean Wendell told me what happened. But, why did you leave like that?
- Let's sit first, and I'll tell you.
They sat on Lucy's bed.
- So? What happened?- Asked Virginia.
- Well, after I left your room, I was nervous. I mean remembering all that stuff. And when I went to Wendell's office he asked me to stay with him forever. That shocked me, and made me remember the worst thing in my life that I didn't want to happen again.
- Do you want to tell me about that?
- I don't know. I'm not sure.
Virginia put her hand around Lucy's shoulder and said:
- Look, I know it is hard for you to remember. But if you keep it inside you, it would get worse. You must let it go.
- I guess you're right.- Lucy's eyes were filled of tears.
- O.K. now. Tell me what happened.
- I never told anyone about this either. Only Nelson knew. You see, five years ago I married a man. He was half-wolf. His name was Steve. His father was a human, his mother half-wolf. we had a daughter. Her name was Moonlight. Like Steve's mother. We lived very happy in the second Kingdom for two years, untill I had the conflict with the Evil Queen. She killed Steve infront of my eyes. Her men tied me, and they cut his head. then his body all into peices.
Lucy started to cry.
- Oh, Virginia. It was awful! I always tried to forget what I saw, but I can't. I loved him.
- Shhh, it's over now. The queen is dead now. She got what she deserved.
She hugged Lucy. Virginia was crying too. She was ashamed of what her mother did to others.
- Moonlight was at the house of one of our friends. it wasn't far from our house.- Lucy continued.- I was left alone in the house. Blood everywhere. They took Steve's body pieces with them, I don't know why. When I saw Moonlight comming home with Carla, that's our friend. I got out of the house. I didn't want them to see what was inside. Carla knew that there was something that I was hiding. But I said that everything is all right. I didn't let her come in. I told her that Steve was hunting and I was going to go with Moonlight to meet him in the forest. I'm not sure that she believed me, but she left. The queen's men killed her and her family too. While I was going to leave I heard them comming again. So, I took Moonlight and ran away. They followed us. I left Moonlight in the forest hoping to return to her later. I made those men see me running, so they would change their way and follow me. Then after a long way running I met her. Her evil eyes were looking at me in anger and hate. She didn't say a word. She just turned me into a wolf and turned away. I ran into the forest untill I reached to Nelson's house. I never saw my daughter again, and I don't know what happened to her.
- I'm so sorry. I'm sure that someone have found her.- Said Virginia, trying to calm Lucy. But she was crying.
- I always hoped that I would find her someday. But three years have passed and there is no sign of her. I don't know where to find her. I don't even know how would she smell. I wasn't a wolf at that time. Oh, I wish I was! I could've found her by now!
- You will find her. I'm sure. Now, don't cry honey. everything will be all right.
- I don't want the same thing to happen to Wendell, or anyone else. That's why I never had any relations with men.
Lucy put her head on Virginia's lap and she fell asleep. After a few minutes, Virginia slowly got up, covered Lucy with a blanket and left the room. She went to the office again. When she opened the door Wolf jumped in front of her:
- Where have you been! We thought that you dissapeared! What happened? Why are your eyes wet and red?
- Is she all right?- Asked Wendell.
- She's O.K., she told me about what my mother did to her family. It was awful.
She sat on a chair and cried.
- Calm down honey.- Said Wolf and hugged her.
- I want to see her!- Said Wendell.
- She's sleeping now. She cried alot.- said Virginia.
- Do you want to tell us what she told you?
- I don't know if I should. But, I guess it's O.K., but promise me not to tell this to anyone. No one knows, not even the Dwarf King.
Virginia told them what Lucy told her. Both, Wolf and Wendell were in a shock.
- I can't believe that she did that!- Said Wendell in anger.
- She just never stops!- Said Wolf.
- I feel ashamed that she was MY mother.- Said Virginia.
- Oh, don't say that my love. You must be proud that you saved the others from her.
She hugged him. Wendell couldn't wait. He decided to see Lucy right now.
- I will see her now.
- But Wendell..
- Virginia, it's now or never! Wait for me here.
He went out. He didn't know where the room was exactly, but he saw Lucy walking in the corridor shape tunnel.
- Lucy!- He called.
- Please leave me alone!- She said and ran back.
Wendell ran after her.
- Lucy wait please! I must talk to you!
- No! Please leave!
He followed her untill they reached to an end of the tunnel.
- Lucy stop! That's an order!
- You can't order me here!
He stood in front of her. She tried to leave, but he stopped her. He held her shoulders too tight.
- Please listen to me.- He said in a soft voice.
- Please let me go, you're hurting me!
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.- He let her.- I didn't mean to order you too. Forgive me please.
She didn't say anything. She looked to the ground and didn't move, like a child that has been punished for something that he didn't do.
- Lucy, look at me.- He held her face in his hands and lifted it. He looked into her eyes, and saw the pain that she was in.
- Please Your Majesty, let me go.
- Virginia told me everything.
- No!
- I know that she wasn't supposed to, but I insisted that she tells me everything. That wasn't your fault. And no one would get hurt anymore.
- That's what everyone thought the first time she died, but she returned. She might return again!
- Not this time. Lucy, are you listening to me? Lucy!
Lucy didn't listen, she felt dizzy again and she fainted. Her wound wasn't healing yet. And all those emothions that she had in the last hours made her get worse.
- Don't worry honey, they won't harm you. I promise.
- I hope so.- She whispereed back.
- You know, I smell Lucy. She's close. But the funny thing is, that I am smelling another familliar scent. But I'm not sure who is it.
