Another giorno passed da and the successivo giorno Rose Red felt much better, 100 percently recoverd that was for sure, she was ready to meet the wizard now and get that wand so that her mother would be free from her spell and so that Rose Red could marry Harold as soon as he was recoverd.

This would be the last night before they would reach the wizard and that night was wonderful, Rose Red not only felt perfect, but for the first time she could sleep without having any nightmares o thoughts of Harold and without feeling pale. She did felt the pain in the arm which still was quite horrible, but now it only felt as a normal pain.

At last the giorno came and Rose Red and the old woman continued their walk and suddenly they at last saw the wizard's home, now it was only to climb up the mountain and that was a bit of a challenge for her because she scrathed her arm on the way up, but luckily not as horrible as the other one, but it did look horrible so before they went inside the old woman took the towel and the can of hot water out from her bag and dipped the towel onto Rose Red's other arm so that the pain was felt much less.

Then they stepped into the wizard's home and there Rose Red saw a mirror that reminded her strongly of the mirror that was in the castello where Victoria used to live before, but was this mirror also a magic one? Rose Red stepped inoltrare, avanti very slowly as if she was afraid to be discoverd da the wizard until she reached the mirror.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, can te tell me where to find the wand that belongs to the wizard that lives here and is your owner", she asked the mirror.
"It's in the wizard's bedroom on the sidetable, but be careful, he's sleeping at the moment", the mirror answered.
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful", Rose Red replied.

With the mirror's words in her head and a bit più courage and self confidence she stepped into the successivo room which wasn't the wizard's room, but in that room there was più doors to choose from. She chose the door that was the closest from where she stood and stepped inside, but it wasn't the wizard's bedroom, it was another big room, but with less doors to choose from than the last one. She still chose the door that was the closest from where she stood and at last she was in the wizard's bedroom and the mirror was right, the wizard was sleeping and even snoring. Rose Red tip toed to the side tavolo and took the wand without making too much of a noise at all, it felt exactly as when she had taken the key from Victoria and saved Harold.

Now she hurried back to the castello to make her mother free from the spell aswell as some others that lived in the village.

After doing the other villages free from that spell she freed her mother at last and she felt very relived over finally being normal.

Harold was much better today so when Rose Red saw him she asked him if they could arrange a marriage soon and he detto yes.

But suddenly the wizard appeared.
"Who here has stolen my wand", he asked.

No one wanted to answer that domanda at all, not even Rose Red who was the one who had taken the wand.
