The Truth About the Glass, Part 30

One final part remaining after today!

“Why, you ugly, evil old hag! I ought to admire you, but you killed my father, and you’re killing the only other creature I kind of maybe respect!” Constance spat, and with a scream, she ran at her stepmother with violent intentions. But the power of Agatha’s glass slippers repelled Constance with such force she was knocked a good six feet back!</p> <p>“Dear stepdaughter, you have so much to learn about the dark arts,” laughed Agatha. “It’s a pity you’ll never have the chance!”</p> <p>And that was when, all of a sudden, two very curious things happened at once. Outside, a team of men (or perhaps women? One couldn’t tell) dressed as Japanese ninjas swooped in from above on invisible ropes attached to nobody-knows-what. They were Mirrors, of course. The beast’s own spies. Those ninja Mirrors snatched the goblins right out of their magical slippers before the goblins even realized they were dangling unprotected. In fact, it happened so fast, they never realized it at all because their necks were snapped with a snickety-snack.Inside the castle, all of the household ghosts formed a misty soup as they darted this way and that in utter confusion because ghosts, I hate to say it, are rather like a herd of goats at times. Agatha couldn’t see an inch in front of her nose and soon stumbled over a fallen broom. First she tripped out of her slippers and then she stumbled backwards onto one of them, and her full weight (which wasn’t much but was just enough) cracked it into shards. Constance, following the sound, was quick to find a shard which she then used to...</p> <p>Oh, it’s too gruesome. I can’t say it.</p> <p>Let me put it this way, then: Agatha always wanted a ruby necklace, and she finally got one she could afford.</p> <p>What about the beast? Constance worried.</p> <p>But what worried her just as much as the condition of the beast was why it mattered to her at all.
