It was after the queen went to her room and was about to sleep that a witch entered her room, she was one of the least powerful witches. Rachel saw carefully and it was Lora, she gasped thinking that she knew this woman but why couldn't she remember anything but she continued to watch. She wanted to gain power by killing the queen and now that she was getting impatient, she decided this was the perfect time.

She entered the room of the queen who had her back towards her and asked "What is it that you need."

Lora didn't say anything but before the queen could turn around to see what was wrong, a knife was plunged into her chest and she began to gasp for air. Lora had learned the spell to kill the queen so she quickly used that and went out but to her surprise the other higher level witches were powerful too and she could not succeed in her plans. That must be when she started building her own army thought Rachel.

Memories of Lora were still there in her mind because Jessica knew that her mother was once a witch and the queen would probably see it but she had altered them making her believe that she had killed that person before her birthday and she didn't remember that Lora was immortal. It was that only witches could give birth to witches so they were quite less in number.

Later she saw that greed had occupied the mind of the witches as the queen had suspected and all of them quickly gave birth to babies but as their daughter sat on the throne they would not be accepted and thrown away as it was the throne that had to accept the queen.

All those witches were degraded too because of their intentions, it was not until Rachel was born that she was accepted by the throne and everyone knew that only Jamie's intentions were pure. They had to wait until the queen was of the age to have the throne and if until then Jamie had her pure intentions their queen was decided. Although the witches were becoming weak, they had made their defenses so strong that enemies were still scared of them but now even they have come to know that there was no queen so it was obvious that the witches were weak. She saw that it was the queen who could control the throne and it was the throne that gave power to the witches. If the throne didn't have anyone to control it, it was bound to not spread it's power.

Enemies had been attacking their kingdom and it was becoming difficult for them and now that they had the queen, everyone was happy. After Rachel found out about everything the throne retracted it's powers and she opened her eyes. She was not happy with the witches who were trusted by the queen and turned greedy in the end but because they were served with justice she believed in the loyalty of other witches towards their queen. She also found out that each witch had only one special power and it was only the queen who possessed all the combined powers.

She looked at her mother and her best friend and now that they were sitting below her, she had no idea how to treat them. She didn't understand how she could just start treating her mother as a person who had to follow her orders because she had looked upto this woman for so many years. She took in a deep breath and now that she was fated to take on this position she decided to do it seriously. The first thing for her was to go through the ceremony of becoming a witch so she stood up from her throne and seeing that all the other witches did the same. She looked at them and said "It already been so long so without wasting time let's begin the ceremony and then all the witches here can become powerful once again."

Everyone bowed their head and began to make there way out of this meeting room into a garden inside the castle. All of them went to stand on a huge raised platform in the center of the garden that could contain all the witches. Rachel followed them and went to stand in the middle of the platform on top of the image of the lion. All the other witches formed a circle around her and once that was done, everyone closed their eyes along with Rachel.

All the witches began to enchant the spells with their wands projected to the roof of the platform just above Rachel's head. As those powers combined they were reflected down on Rachel as is it was a rain pour of powers. After they were done with combining their powers as an honour to the queen, Rachel slowly opened her eyes and so did everyone.

After a moment of silence Rachel loud voice vibrated "Rafel" listening to the sound a white lion came dashing over. All the witches bowed their heads and made way for the lion while the lion who was loyal to the queen of the throne went to her and bowed his head with a roar. As all queens Rachel too understood what this lion said "Your Highness"

Rachel then looked over at the maid and said "Crown"

The maid bowed her head and went to fetch the crown. Soon she returned with a shining diamond crown that belonged to the queens for generations, it was beautifully decorated with other rare pieces of jewels on it and it was carried inside a velvet box which was now opened.

The maid bent down for Rafel to pick it up and with that Rachel bent down in front of the lion on one knee. Rafel placed the crown on her head and then he placed his paw on her head. Rachel was surrounded by magical lights around her that covered both her and Rafel. He lifted his hand and let out a roar to ask her to stand up as she did that the lights didn't subside but brightened and if engulfing her. She was lifted up in the air and soon Majestic Golden coloured wings erupted from her back. If a normal person were to look at her at this moment they wouldn't believe that they were seeing the reality, she looked like and extreme rare beauty. Once her wings appeared and she was filled with her powers the light subsided and soon went of as she elegantly stepped to the ground.

Another roar of Rafel was heard "I officially welcome you as our queen."

Rachel bowed her head and with a smile she said "Thank you"

She then looked at all the other witches and said "Let's restore your powers, come."

Everyone followed behind her as she walked into the castle to sit on the throne then in the order of the position of the witches in the castle everyone came forward and placed their knees on the last step while bowing down their heads in front of the queen. Rachel placed a wand on their heads while extracting the power of the throne to make the witches strong once again.

Once the process was done the witches rejoiced and asked her to join the banquet that was arranged for her welcome. She politely agreed and everyone enjoyed their time with happiness due the powers being restored back on them and with their powerful queen's return they could not stop their happiness and as if that was contagious Rachel too had a continuous smile on her face.

Soon the banquet came to an end and after she told everyone to rest up, she too went back home but this time flying with her own wings. She was filled with happiness because she had been bestowed with such a prestigious position and now that she was out of that noise and had her peace as she reached her home, the empty feeling in her chest overtook her again.

Jessica was worried that she will be able to remember everything since that was not good she came to her room and sat on her bed "Listen Rach, I hope you won't treat me differently because here in this world I am still your best friend."

She had come to distract Rachel and when Rachel said "What made you think I will. You will always be my best friend."

Jessica then laid down on her bed and said with a smile "That's a good thing then because I was thinking of staying here tonight."

Rachel smiled and nodded her head "First change your clothes, take anything from my cupboard that you like."

Jessica nodded and went to her cupboard to take a look, she was glad that she had already cleared all the things in the room that belonged to Robert but she still wanted to check. Now that her powers had become stronger, she slipped into a corner and cast her magic on Rachel again so she could not remember anything. She was glad that witches only needed wands for bigger tasks or this would have been difficult. She heaved a sigh of relief and after changing clothes she went to sleep on the bed when Rachel asked her "Did you use your magic just now?"
