Tracy ~

Tracy snarled in frustration as she threw a pile of objects at her bedroom wall with a summoned cyclone. Her fingers tingled with the amount of magic she was using as she panted heavily, glaring at the broken objects pressed up against the wall.

How dare that lower-class virio get kidnapped by the trolls? It was all its fault that Tracy was back at square one-unable to do anything to rip that pretty medallion off of Tria's fat neck. 

       Tracy's lips twisted as she thought about her little sister. That little brunette brat. Tracy had never liked Tria. That girl was always hogging the spotlight, pushing Tracy to the side. Tracy had tried to like her baby sister, she really had. But that all changed the day Melissa was captured...

        Melissa was back now. Tracy had put on a pretty show, acting all happy and forcing fake tears out of her eyes in front of the court. But, as always, Melissa only had eyes for Tria. They only ever talked about Tria the way parents do with their kids. Never Tracy. No, they never ever praised Tracy the way they did Tria. Everything was Tria this and Tria that.

To be honest, Tracy had been ecstatic when that girl was kidnapped.

Besides, seeing her "now completed family" only reminded her how pathetic they really were. It reminded her of why she had decided to turn against her family and her people in the first place.

Once the trolls won this war, the entire kingdom of Castalia would know her name and fear her.

Marko ~

Marko rubbed the bridge of his nose. It was a nervous tick of his, one that he had never been able to get rid of.

Now, however, he was far from worried about what his younger sisters would say if they saw him.

He was also far from pleased. That Umbridge woman had royally messed up. What with the princess having gained the medallion and the slow actions of the inside spy, Marko was ready to murder someone out of pure frustration. 

      "Are you still worried, brother?" Willow's sweet voice penetrated Marko's reverie.

Blinking, the oldest child looked up and smiled upon seeing Willow's small figure. No matter how serious the situation, his baby sister was always able to cheer him up.

Willow made her way across the room and climbed up into his lap. She was getting a bit too old for this type of stuff-she was eleven, soon to turn twelve, but Marko didn't have the heart to turn her down. 

      "Brother, there's no use pondering over things. Sooner or later, Tracy will get that medallion. Then, we can begin the revolution." 

      Marko smiled down at Willow. "That's sweet, but it isn't that easy. Who's to say that that girl won't see through the lies that we've been feeding her? She'd never back us if we were to reveal our true intentions. She's too valuable for us to lose, considering her power and her position." 

      At this, Willow snorted. "Have you heard the reports from Umbridge? Tracy's as dumb as they come. She's too blinded by her need to pay attention to what's going on underneath her nose. I think that we're safe." 

     Marko laughed. "I guess you're right. How silly of me. I should've known. After all, she comes from that family." 

     Willow raised an eyebrow. "Even Melissa?" 

     At the mention of that woman's name, Marko stiffened. "Get out." 

     "Aww, holding on to a father's grudge? How traditional of you, Marko!"

     "I said, GET OUT!" 

Laughing, Willow jumped off Marko's lap. Turning she gave him a mock curtsy before fleeing out of the room, cackling like mad.

Marko swore under his breath. Now he had a bigger headache after having to deal with two of them.

Hey, what's up, I'm @NevermoreNeverHere. Awesome username, I know. Anyways, thanks so much for checking out this awesome story. It actually worked out pretty well. It has an actual plot and story now. Moving on, I wanted to give a different perspective from Tracy and, of course, Marko. What do you guys think is that incident that turned Tracy against Tria? What do you guys think are Marko's true intentions? Keep on reading, and the other writers will probably tell you.

Probably.
