“Beast @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter Twelve Mother "Bricklebrit. Someone's trying to use the mirror without rhyming," Elora curses upon seeing her crystal ball flashing red. Croesus yawns and three gold coins slide off his tongue. Elora snaps her fingers over the ball and a pale pink eye surrounded by white feathers stares back at her. "Leapin lizards!" Elora shouts. "It's Mother. Where's Beauty?" Elora snaps again and Beauty appears i...n the Charming castle's south wing, peering into doorways. "She's made it. Obviously, Mephisto delivered the phony letter and kept his shady paws off Beauty. And speaking of shady characters," Elora raps her nails on the ball and the pink-eyed raven pops into view. "Mother is one of the shadiest, literally." Croesus' ears flatten and he backs away from the ball. "She's been dead forty years. She's a shade, a specter, a spook, the ghost of Gertrude, Cinderella's mother." Croesus trots boldly back to the ball. The raven opens its ghastly beak and caws, Abracadabra. Hocus-pocus. Open sesame.MoreLess
