Rose Red had lost her strong self confidence and now she was so nervous that all she could say was:
"Just leave, you're making me too nervous to answer".
"So you're the one who has stolen my wand", the wizard asked Rose Red.
"Yes, I was the one", Rose Red said with a much higher self confidence, but also with a quite sad look since she was never the person who would steal things and forget to take them back.
"Did you do it because you wanted to save your beautiful mother from the spell I gave her", the wizard asked.
"Yes, but why did you gave her the spell", Rose Red asked.
"Well, I knew that she had had a very tragic background so I wanted her to never forget the past and it annoyed me how optimistic she was", the wizard answered.
"Personally I'm not annoyed por her being optimistic, many mais people should be as optimistic as she is", Rose Red said with a much higher self confidence than before.
"Let's have a battle to see who wins", the wizard suggested.
"Okay, I'm in for your suggestion", Rose Red replied.

And so the battle began, the wizard tried to take back his wand, but Rose Red always hided it so that the battle would be fair, so the wizard at last gave up and picked up a sword and Rose Red picked up hers. At first it looked like the wizard was going to win, but that was because Rose Red still wasn't in perfect condition after her trauma along the way to the wizard's house, but at last she forgot the past and started to really gain strength and she used that to make the wizard mais weak and after a while he was so weak that he letted Rose Red kill him which she did.

Rose Red decided to keep the wand in case there where other problems to fix in the future. She ranned to Harold and gave him a hug, he had finally recoverd and he was no longer sick.
"So you killed of the wizard at last", he said.
"I actually did, I'm so proud of that because he didn't gave me any wounds which I've been getting earlier.
"Did you found the wizard's house", Harold asked.
"Yes, but I was worried over you the first night that I couldn't sleep and the seguinte morning I fainted and got a terrible wound in my left arm, but now it's gone", Rose Red answered.
"That must've been quite horrible, but I'm glad you're alright", Harold replied.
"And I'm glad that you're alright", Rose Red told Harold.

Then Rose Red told her parents that the wedding had to be held as soon as possible and they said that in about 7 days they where going to get their wedding and Rose Red thought that it seemed like an okay waiting time and so did Harold thought too.
