Spread the Word (Final Story in The Magic of her Beauty Trilogy)
I remember everything!
I can see everything, too.
I am in a cell!
I know why I've been saying everything wrong, too.
I remembered small things-like names-and then forgot them.
I'm not crazy, and I'm not Evedia's daughter.
I'm the daughter of Queen Sarie, and King Joque, who are not evil.
Evedia is evil.
She stole the whole kingdome from my parents, and used me to do it!
I have to stop her! I though vicously, running to the door.
But, I couldn't get out.
I was locked in, of course.
Besides, what could an eleven year old girl do?
Spread the word. How foolish, I told myself. Just stick it out!
Wait, stick it out! My key!
I stuck my arm out of the bars, holding my dungeon key firmly in my hand.
I was suprised Evedia hadn't stole my key, or that she hadn't changed the lock on this door.
With a flick of my wrist, I was free!
***
It was easy to sneak away. I had lived in this castle most of my life- I knew all the best hiding spots.
Once I was outside, I raced to the nearest village, ready to tell my tale.
Yet, what if no one believed me? Evedia had everyone under her spell.
Wait- everyone?
Yes, that's it! If everyone was under her spell, then some people might start to remember.
Even Evedia couldn't keep three thousand people under her spell.
I would have to find everyone who remembered.

"Let's go down to Muffin Spectacular," a little kid told his parents.
My first target!
"McMuffins of Eva, you mean?" the dad corected.
It was changed to McMuffins of Eva once Evedia took over. That means that kid is remembering.
"It is Muffin Spectacular, Joque," the women said.
Wait, Joque? That's my dads name! These people, they were my parents!
As for the child, I remember him now... my mom was pregnant when I was tricked to Evedia's side.
Before I could stop myself, I yelled "MOM! DAD!"
The sight of my face seemed to help them remember, and they were freed!
"Imil," my mother gasped, suprised about everything.
"Wait, your Imil?" My little brother asked. "I'm so happy to meet you! My names Imi."
"Imil... your alive!" My dad exclaimed, seeming to not know what else to say.
"Not for long, though," someone snarked.
I knew who said that, even before I spun around. "Evedia," I snarled.
"Evedia?" A man asked. "Oh, wow, Evedia!"
His wife shushed him, and, at the same time, a young girl grabbed her brother's hand to keep him from walking towards the evil woman.
They had seen past her beauty, even though the men were still entanced.
That was, until she pulled out a bow, and pointed an arrow straight at my heart.
They had reconised me, too. They could see my 'mother' was about to kill me.
Fogginess left their eyes, they all remembered. And they all charged towards Evedia.
