Kara's Transformation - Chapter Thirty Four

The queen decides to visit her son in his room. He was playing with the little girl and with Amelia. "How are you doing, my son?" Kristen asks her son. "I'm doing well, mom. We are playing inside until it gets dark. I want to go out and play." James replied.

Kristen looked over to the girl standing beside James. "I have come to tell you that you are to return to your parents when the wizard comes for you. Prepare your belongings and be ready for the trip." the queen told her. Before Kristen left, she spent a little more time with the kids. Kristen picked up Amelia and began to tickle her. She giggled and squirmed with delight. The queen seemed to enjoy playing with her and seemed to have more and more to do with her each visit.

Kristen took Amelia to her bed, which was placed right next to James' bed in his room. Amelia reached up for Kristen as she reached over to stroke her cheek.

James was sad that the little girl had to go back to her parents. She was now one of his best friends. "I wish you didn't have to go. I will miss you. I will see if I can visit you or arrange for you to come to see me. I have enjoyed the time you and your sister have been here." he told her as he gave her a hug goodbye. 

The wizard came and took the little girl to the cottage where her parents were staying. It didn't take long for them to arrive after being summoned. Beth was the first one to arrive. 

"Nice to meet you," Beth told the little girl.

There stood her family; her mom, dad, and her sister. She was so happy to see them again.

She ran across the room to her parents, who were waiting for her. "Oh, how we have missed you! We have been waiting for you to come home to us!" Kara told her daughter.

She ran into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly. I have missed you so much," she said softly.

It didn't take long for the wizard to place the bottle on the table. "We have kept our word and let you have your daughter back. Now it's your turn....drink up," he told Kara.

"I want you to take care of our girls if I don't survive this. Promise me you will," she told her husband. "You will be fine, my love. The girls will be fine. I will take good care of them." he replied to her.

Kara walked over and picked up the bottle on the table. Everyone stood around in hopes of a happy ending. She hesitated in dread of the pain and possible death. After a few minutes, she got the courage and drank it.

The pain ripped through her body like it did before when she first became this monster. She screamed out in agony as her body tensed up. She felt like she was on fire as the potion spread throughout her body.

Slowly the color began to come back to her cheeks. She stopped screaming, and her body slowly eased up from the spasm that she was in. She opened her eyes and looked over to see the wizard staring at her. "I'm pleased to see that you have returned to normal. One day I will cure your daughter, and she may return to you if the queen wishes it," the wizard told Kara. "So your not going to test it on her while she is young?" Kara asked. "Not yet. I don't want any harm to come to a child. I think the queen has agreed that it is not safe to test the potion while they are young," the wizard told Kara.  

Kara ran into her husband's arms. "I thought I was going to lose you there for a second. You scared me. I don't remember what I did when I took the potion." Mark told Kara as he wrapped his arms around her, hoping to never let go of her.

"The pain was so horrible that I thought for sure I was dying. I'm glad this is over. I hope the queen takes pity on us and lets us leave with our girls and start over." she told Mark.

Kara stood and looked over at her girls as she thought about the little baby that the queen had taken. 

Kara looked at the wizard."Will the queen give her back now that she has found a cure, or will she get impatient and test it on the baby to cure her son sooner?" Kara asked the wizard. "You are not to speak to anyone about the baby in the queen's care. I would suggest that you forget about her if you still want to stay alive. If she chooses to give her back, she will have her brought here." he told Kara and turned to walk away.
