The truth is...

The boy dressed in red, took a few steps back before ask again:

"Aunt Magica... What... what are you doing here?"

Aunt Magica sighed and then she looked first at the crow on her shoulder and then at him and answered:

"Poe told me that it seems your brothers and you are having troubles to get Scrooge's dime"

Huey started to get nervous, he didn't notice his uncle Poe was watching them, he should be more careful. Knowing he wasn't as good liar as Louie, the boy answered honestly:

"Well yes... more than less"

He looked away, unable to have eye contact with his aunt. The witch moved closer to him and knelting in front of the boy, asked:

"What's going on child?"

Huey closed his eyes, he felt trap, he couldn't lie to her aunt, he just... couldn't, so he just said:

"Well... Dewey and Louie believe now that we are the lost triplets and-"

Before he could say anything else, Magica stand up and talked first saying:

"Oh, I was afraid this might happen"

Huey looked at her and with a weak voice he admitted:

"Aunt Magica I-I refuse to believe it, but there are many evidences... even Scrooge ordered to make a DNA test and the result said that we're members of McDuck clan, how is it possible if you created us? I tried to search the answer in one of my books, but I found nothing. Please aunt Magica, help me to understand"

Magica bowed her head, put a hand on Huey's shoulder and talking with obvious forced kindness, she answered with another question:

"Oh, my dear Huey, do you really want to know the truth?"

"Yes, aunt Magica, more than anything" answered the boy putting his hands together.

"Okay then" answered his aunt.

Magica moved her hand away of the duckling and standing up, she closed her eyes and for a few seconds she stayed in silence, when she opened her eyes again, she screamed:

"Get him!"

At the second she said that lots of Beagle Boys appeared suddenly, this wasn't the first time that Magica called the Beagle Boys for help, but it never was to go against the three brothers. Why was different this time? Huey saw them approaching to him and all the colours left his face when he screamed:

"Wait, what?!"

Those awful dogs grab him by his arms and lifted him off the ground, Huey kicked uselessly in the air trying to scape from them, but he couldn't, maybe he could try doing a spell, but before do that, he wanted to know something:

"Aunt Magica, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Magica looked at him with a hateful face, a face she only put when she was really angry with them, like the day they turned Poe into a crow.

The witch got closer to the duckling and grabbing him by his beak, she said with annoyed voice:

"Listen Huey I won't let your brothers and you to risk my plans"

Huey's eyes widened in fear and then with scared voice he asked:

"W-what does it mean?"

Magica smiled and then she answered:

"It means that I'm in charge now"

After these words, Magica revealed a strange amulet. Huey'd never saw it in all the time he was living with his aunt. The witch smiled more than before, making Huey be more afraid than before.

"What is this for?" asked the boy in red with trembling voice.

Magica stepped forward and answered Huey's question saying:

"This amulet will let us swap our bodies Huey"

Huey's breathing sped up, and he could feel he was approaching to a panic state. Why? Why was happening this to him? With hysterical voice, the duckling asked:

"What?! Why would you do that?!"

Without losing her smile, aunt Magica answered:

"I can't get Scrooge's dime with this body and since you and your brothers failed me, I'll get the coin using your body, besides, having your body will mean I'll have powers, while you, dear boy, you won't have any of it"

Magica started to move the amulet closer to his chest making Huey breath faster, he needed to stop it, so desperately, he said:

"What?! No aunt Magica, please, don't do that! Give me more time"

Magica shook his head and answered to the scared boy:

"No Huey, time's over"

The amulet made contact with his chest and instantly, Huey could feel it, his body was changing, growing, he could feel the ground again under his feet, at the same time, he could see aunt Magica getting smaller. Bu the most important thing, Huey could feel how he was losing the control of his powers, it was like a water tap that closed, until he felt nothing.

He came back to reality when he heard aunt Magica using his voice to say to the Beagle Boys:

"Lock him in the place we talked about, I'll go there once I get the dime"

Big Time smiled viciously and answered:

"Understood, dear"

The criminal dogs started to move Huey who knows where, but they stopped when Magica called him saying:

"Oh I almost forget, Huey?"

Huey, trapped now inside aunt Magica's body turned to see his aunt, but he didn't say anything, he felt betrayed for her. On her side, Magica, into Huey's body, smiled broadly and said:

"About the truth you asked for, the truth is that your brothers and you are the lost triplets, you've been them all this time"

Huey's eyes opened with surprise, and he could feel his blood turning cold, what had he done? He was wrong, completely wrong! He didn't listen his brothers, they were right! And now his stubbornness let aunt Magica stole his body and put all his family in danger, all because of him, he... he was a traitor, he'd be the responsible of his family destruction.

Huey just had one thing clear now, he failed
