It was about 11:30 p.m. Friday night when Sabrina and her Aunt Hilda got home from the movies. They were so excited and wanted to find Zelda to tell about what she had missed.

"Aunt Zelda, we are back." Sabrina yelled.

"Zelda, you missed some great movies." Hilda yelled right after Sabrina.

They were surprised that they when Zelda did not answer or come to meet them. They walked into the dinning room to see if she was working, but she was not there. So they went to the kitchen, but she was not there either. Come to think about it, Salem was no where around.

"Salem, where are you?" Hilda yelled.

"Aunt Hilda, Salem is in the Other Realm visiting his mother." Sabrina said.

"That is right. I hope he is having a good time. Well, Zelda is probably sleeping. We better get some sleep ourselves. I am kinda tired." Aunt Hilda said.

So they both went up stairs to get ready for bed. When Sabrina walked into her room, she saw her Aunt Zelda lying on the floor on her side facing the door. She ran over to her and started to knee down next to her and screamed, "Aunt Zelda!" Once she was on the floor, she saw something red in her hair. She pushed just enough hair out of Zelda's face. She saw a big bruise with dried blood all over it.

"Aunt Hilda, I found Aunt Zelda. She is in my room, and she has been hurt." Sabrina screamed as she started to cry.

She started to shake Zelda as she was yelling, "Aunt Zelda, please wake up. You have to wake up!" She did not move.

Hilda ran to Sabrina's room, and she stopped in the door way. She saw Sabrina shaking Zelda. She ran over to Sabrina and stopped her from shaking her. Hilda pulled Sabrina away from Zelda so that she could see her sister. Hilda saw her sister's face.

"Sabrina, go call the Other Realm's paramedics." She told her. She looked over to Sabrina just staring at her aunt. "Sabrina. Sabrina!" she yelled while she was gently shaking her shoulder. Sabrina snapped out if it and did what her aunt asked her to do.

"Zelda, what happened to you." Hilda said quietly as she was looking at her. Hilda saw her hands were incased in cinder blocks and both arms were bound together with duck tape because it would keep her from using her magic she thought to her.

After Hilda removed the blocks and tape, she repositioned Zelda to where she was laying on her back and gently moved her hair out of her face. Zelda's clothes were ripped, multiple bruises her face, arms and legs. There were two big bumps with a big cut across them on her face. There is one on each side of her head. Then she checked to see if Zelda was breathing and had a pulse, and she did but the pulse faint and could hardly tell that she was breathing.

Sabrina came back and told Hilda that she made the call. "Sabrina, will you get a bowl of water and wash clothes so that we can start clean the blood off Zelda's face." Hilda asked Sabrina in a calm voice. She got up to get what her aunt asked her to do. When she came back into the room, she placed the bowl of water and stack of wash clothes next to Hilda.

"Sabrina, help me clean off some of this dried blood off the side of her face." Both started to wash gently it off. Sabrina was still crying as she slowly swiped Zelda's face. Zelda was like a mother to her.

"Aunt Zelda, I need you because you are like a mother to me. I love you. Please do not die on me. Please." Sabrina quietly whispered in her ear.

Hilda thought about all times her and Zelda had shared over the years. How they fought, laugh, and cried together. She started wondering about her life would be without her. Her thoughts turned Sabrina. How could she raise Sabrina by herself? How could I help her if Zelda died? She told herself that she should take one day at a time and focus on the 'here and now.'

After Hilda finished cleaning her side of Zelda's face, she moved over to Sabrina. Sabrina had clean about a fourth of Zelda face. Sabrina's hands were so shaky that it was hard for her to clean the wound. I pulled her into a hug and she began sobbing on her shoulder. She started to rub Sabrina's back in hopes that she was giving her some comfort.
