Angel - In Dreams
“Hello again Wolfy.”Wolf groaned. She was back.
“Look, just kill me why don’t you? Huff puff, just get it over with!”
“Wolfy, I’m afraid I don’t need you anymore. You see, you’ve lived out your usefulness as bait.”
“What do you mean by bait?”
“Bye, Puppy, I’ll miss you.”
Virginia opened her eyes to find herself in a dark room. She tried to move, but she was chained. A noise come from across the room. “Who’s there?” she asked.
“Just me.” Andraia walked out of the shadows, and stopped in front of her.
“You! You tricked us!”
“Yes, I suppose I did.”
“Where’s my father, and what did you do with Wolf?”
“Oh, Wolf. Well he was just bait, and unfortunately he out lived his usefulness.” She said this with an evil smile.
“You, you?”
“Yes. I didn’t enjoy it though; he’s very handsome. I’ll have to look into getting me a wolf of my own.”
Tears formed in Virginia’s eyes. He was gone. She couldn’t think about that now. She had to be strong. She had to survive. Not only for herself, but for their child. That’s what Wolf would have wanted. “What about my dad?”
“Oh, him. Well, I’m afraid he won’t be joining us...for the rest of his life.”
“No! You killed them both. Why? Why did you destroy my family!?” she yelled, choking back tears.
“Virginia, the answer is simple. I’m over four hundred years old. You get bored.”
“Nooo! No, no,” Virginia screamed, and then she began to cry. She couldn’t take it anymore. Her mother had at least had a reason, but this woman! She was so evil that she killed people for fun. “NO! How could you?! You…”
Virginia’s eyes flew open and she gasped for breath. She couldn’t believe it. It was another dream. Well, part of it anyway. She looked around the dark room. She was still in the room, still chained to the wall, which meant Andraia was really the evil woman.
“So you woke up. Did you enjoy your dream?”
“You! Why, why are you doing this?” Virginia screamed, her voice filled with rage.
“I told you in your dream. That part was true.”
“What about Wolf and Dad?”
“Oh them? Well I’m not done with them yet. Still too much fun to be had.”
Tony rubbed his head. It still hurt from the fall. How had he gotten here anyway? “Hello? Is anybody here?” he yelled. Then he looked at his surroundings for the first time. He was in some sort of tunnel, and the walls were made out of the same ice cold crystal as the wall outside, except these were kind of blue. A very light icy blue. “Oh great! How am I going to get out of here?” Tony griped. Seeing no other option, he began to walk. “It really is cold in here,” he complained, rubbing his arms. “I really do hate this pla...” But before he could finish, something fell through the wall on top of him.
Wolf howled as he fell to the ground. Well, actually, something broke his fall. He shook his head (like he did after he got out of the water when they were sneaking into the castle), then looked around trying to figure out where he was. He sniffed the air, and to his surprise caught a familiar scent. “Tony?!” asked Wolf, finally realizing that what he was sitting on was his father-in-law.
“Oh no,” said Tony looking up. “Wolf?! Get off of me!” he yelled.
Wolf jumped off of Tony, and then turned to help him up. “Huff puff! How did you get here?”
“I don’t know. Andraia, she pushed Virginia through a mirror, and then me, and I woke up here.”
“Virginia?! Where is she, and who’s Andraia?” asked Wolf excitedly.
“We met her in a village. We thought she was helping us, but she turned out to be the witch.”
“Her. I’ve spent the last couple of days chained to a wall, while she made me watch horrible things through her mirror,” Wolf growled. “Oh cripes! Now she’s got Virginia!” This time he growled/whimpered.
“Wait what’s this about you getting my daughter pregnant?” Tony asked him with a glaring look.
“Oh so you know now,” Wolf said nervously.
“Virginia told me, well, after that woman dropped a pretty obvious hint.” Tony continued to glare at him.
“Well isn’t it great, Tone? You’re going to be a grandfather.”

(Okay, sorry about that. That ring took control of my fanfic for a second there, but I got it back!)
“Yeah, well, we can talk about that later,” said Tony with a bit of annoyance to his voice. “What are you doing anyway?”
Wolf was walking around the tunnel sniffing the air. “I’m trying to pick up a scent to follow...wait...I found one! This way.” And with that he took off down the tunnel.
“Want to watch,Virginia?” asked Andraia, looking into a large mirror in the center of the room.
“Watch what?” asked Virginia nervously.
“Oh, my game, with Wolf and your father. You see, it’s just begun.”
“Tone, I think we’re getting closer.” Wolf got no reply. “Tone?” He turned to find that his father-in-law wasn’t behind him. “Tony? Where did you go?” he growled. He started to walk back the way he’d come, but there was no Tony. He sniffed the air for his scent, and when he found it, followed it till it stopped at one of the walls. The scent didn’t trail off, it just stopped. As if he’d gone through the wall. He didn’t know what to do, so he continued walking. He was sniffing the air when he heard someone call his name.
“Not again!” yelled Tony. He had fallen through one of the walls and ended up in another tunnel. “Where’s Wolf?” Tony walked down the tunnel. This one, like the others, was made of crystal walls, except these were green. “This Andraia is really starting to get on my nerves,” he grumbled to himself. “If I get out of this, I’m never leaving Wendell’s castle again.
“Wait, what’s that?” He made his way over to a shimmering part of the wall, and realized that it was a mirror. But it wasn’t the mirror that surprised him - it was the person he could see on the other side of the mirror. Wolf!
“Wolf!” He yelled into the mirror hoping he could hear. Wolf, who had been making his way by sniffing the air, stopped and turned to face him. He looked over to the wall with a confused look on his face. He must not be able to see the mirror from that side, thought Tony. “Wolf, there’s a mirror here.”
Wolf reached out and touched the wall. The mirror shimmered for a second. “Tony? Cripes, how did you get in there?”
“I don’t know. I fell through one of the mirrors in the wall.”
“I’ll come through to your side.”
“You think I’d make it that easy?”
Wolf stepped through the mirror. When he came out the other end he didn’t find Tony, though. Instead he found another empty tunnel. “What’s going on here?” he growled.
Virginia watched the display with horror. This woman was playing with them. She didn’t want to rule the kingdoms or destroy a house, but just play cruel games with people until it no longer amused her. “How can you be so cold? I mean is there even anything you want from this?”
Andraia looked at Virginia and a cold smile crossed her face. “Yes. The entertainment of it all. But also there is something I want.”
“What’s that?” asked Virginia nervously.
“My mirrors.”
“Your mirr..” she started to ask what mirrors, but then realized she was talking about the ones at Wendell’s castle.
“You see, that stupid apprentice of mine stole them from me, and now I want them back.”
“Wolf!” yelled Tony. Where had he gone? He’d come through the mirror, and instead of coming out the other end he'd disappeared. “Maybe if I go through the mirror I’ll end up where he is. But what if he got vaporized or something? Ugggh! If I don’t find him Virginia will kill me.” Tony looked at the mirror. “There’s only one way to find out,” he said, stepping through the mirror.
Tony stepped out on the other side of the mirror. He looked around the cave. He turned to look at the mirror behind him. He could see where he had been on the other side. Tony had gone straight through like Wolf should have. This brought up a disturbing question. What had happened to Wolf?
Andraia gazed into her large mirror. The game she played with Tony and Wolf shone where her reflection should have been. She’d never gotten bored of the power of the mirrors. They had always brought her great amusement, just like they did now.
She turned to face her captive. The girl tried to remain brave, but Andraia could read the fear in her eyes. She’d seen that look in many eyes during her lifetime.
“How can you be so cold, so evil? What drives you to be this way? Most who are evil dream of world domination, but you, you’re just evil for no reason,” stated the girl.
Andraia remained silent. She thought about what Virginia had said, and this made her think about her past. After living for hundreds of years, she’d managed to block most of it out, but since meeting this girl she'd started thinking about it again. First around the campsite that night when they’d been talking, and now again she found herself remembering. Noo! She mustn’t remember! Not that, not now!
“It is none of your business, girl!” Her usual calm, cold voice came out rushed and angry. What was happening to her? She needed to concentrate on getting her mirrors and on Tony and Wolf, not the memories. She must forget! She had to forget.
“I’m never going to find a way out of this place!” growled Wolf as he continued to walk down the long tunnel. “I wonder what happened to Tony?” He continued to walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, and (you guessed it!) walk. Finally, after walking for what seemed like a long time. He stopped when he saw another mirror. “I wonder where this one goes?”
He was about to go through when suddenly a furry yellow object jumped out of it and starting attacking him. He struggled to keep it from biting his neck, and had managed to hold it at arms length when he noticed what it was. It was a rabid Pokemon! (Mwrahahahahah!)
“Picachu, picachu!” it growled.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” yelled Wolf, and he quickly threw it back through the mirror. “I think I’ll go find another mirror,” he said and hurried off down the tunnel. (Uh, I don’t really know what just happened in my story. Let’s just say I have a sick mind.)
She watched Wolf struggle for a second, but then manage to throw it back through the mirror. “Well that was strange.” She quickly dismissed the incident, and changed the mirror image back to Tony. “Hmmm. He might be useful to me. I might be able to use him to get my mirrors back. I’ll let him live...for now.”
“What the...?” Virginia was shocked. Andraia had just flipped out. No sarcastic or cold comment. What had happened? For a second there the untouchable woman had lost her control. I wonder what caused her to do that? thought Virginia.
