"Oh! Aunt Ellie! You really are too innocent." she kissed her cheek. "I love you dearly for it."

Ellie was very uncomfortable all of a sudden. Her face went pale, she looked at Claire...

"All this excitement! She just needs some air dear." she kissed Gayelette's cheek. "We'll be back with you directly. Go out and dance with Polly, your brother, Kay. Have fun!" she took Ellie's arm and walked her back outside. "Alright. I've poured myself out to you. Your turn. Why are you white as a ghost?"

"Claire! What is going on? They don't really think I'm popular, they're enamored of me because I'm a glamorous freak. I can't bare people making fun of me, and I can't live up to the popular life. You go - you deserve it."

"I desereve far less than you do. You're no freak! How dare you put such a title on yourself! They're not making fun of you. They adore you. They should. You're amazing."

"But why? I've never done anything around them but embarrass myself. I'll never be like you and Glinda"

"Are you looking at me tonight?" she laughed. "I'm a mess! You've never done anything wrong. Glinda and I have made countless, huge mistakes. But you...you're blameless. I think that's why they idolize you. You have an endless lifetime...and you're the one person who won't screw it up."

"Claire - how did they find out? About me being immortal? This is dangerous for me"

"I don't know...I honestly don't. Few people knew. The group of us. Anyone might have let it slip, or it could have been found out other ways..."

"What other ways? Someone let it slip - and it's very dangerous for me. You know it is."

"I know it is. But you told Gayelette. She is my daughter whom I love, but she uses things for our own gain. Or someone could have used magic to extract the information from someone...did they know what to look for..."

"You told Gayelette first - remember. I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this. This is bad Claire. We need to figure this out." Just then a boy - a third year, ran out and grabbed Ellie "hey! Ellie! It's Ellie Baum! Come here! We're all dying to ask you something!" Ellie was all but dragged back into the ballroom, with Claire close behind. The boy gave a deep bow. The whole room was looking on. "Your goodness, we were just wondering..." and with that another boy pulled out a long sharp object - something like a sword and stabbed it right through her. Ellie reeled in pain, but the sword came out again with only a tiny drop of blood.
"So it IS true!" he exclaimed, just as one of the security guards dragged him and his friend away. Ellie was in terrible, terrible pain.

Claire grabbed the sword and pointed it at the boy, "Just because she can't die doesn't mean she can't feel you evil, hateful--" she grabbed him before he could get away, holding him still the blade at his neck. "Now if I slice this through you, won't you feel it?" he nodded. "and it will kill you so the world would be better off!" she shook, holding him "But i'm a better person than you...that's why there's a good after my name...and hers" the sword burst into flames and disappeared. She pushed him knocking him down on the ground. "I'd love to kill you right now, but I won't. But anytime you ever question anything...just remember this night!" she flung him with her magic back through the children and left him screaming out the doors.
She took Ellie in her arms, holding her close, trying to heal her with her magic. "I'm so sorry..."

Ellie was doing a little better. "Well, that's what you get for being popular. Everyone wants a piece of you" and she managed a smile. "Well, now I'm really in trouble." Ellie stood up, everyone was almost terrified of her now - but in an enamored way, not a wicked way. "You were wonderful' she whispered
