The Timekeepers

Volume 1 Chapter 5: Harmony

The girls all stared at the small flying girl in the sky, not uttering a word. She was about six inches tall with cream-colored skin, pink and brown hair, and a white dress. She also just happened to have purple-green wings and green antennas.

"Hello..? Is anyone there" She said, waving her arm at them in front of their faces. They still weren't talking, just staring at her like a deer in headlights.

"You know it's rude to have greeted someone and for them to not have greeted you back." She said, her nose wrinkling as she frowned.

After a while, one of them finally decided to speak.

"I'm sorry but...does anyone else see the small flying thing in front of us..?" Vivian said, raising her finger up to point her way.

"...Y'huh." They each said hesitantly.

"Aw...you poor dears...you're still in shock...well, I guess I can't blame you. I remember how shocked I was the first time I saw a human." The flying girl said nodding her head, reminiscing.

"Um, I-I'm sorry Ms. Flying Lady but...what exactly...are you?" Lillian asked a little scared.

"Well my little flower, can't you tell? I'm small, I have wings, I sparkle..." The small creature said trying to help her figure it out.

"Ohh I see...you're like that fairy from Disney...uhh..Tinker Bell!" Scarlet said

"Don't ever utter those words again! I am nothing like that flying little witch!" The flying lady said hissing right into Scarlet's face. Scarlet's eyes widened and she stayed quiet.

"My name is Harmony and I am a pixie." She said once more and the four girls just looked at each other and then back at her.

Vivian started to look more and more irritated and spoke up.

"Okay listen! I want to know what's going on right now! First, we get lured into this forest by some bunny and then we come across some creepy little house and then they decide to spin the stupid clock thingy, then it's midnight, and now all of a sudden we're confronted by some stupid fairy! There's no way this is really happening right now!" Vivian said animatedly throwing her arms up in the air.

"I'm going to need you to refrain from calling me that name..." Harmony said, her eyes closed, and a small vein throbbing near her temple.

"Excuse me, Fairy Lady or whatever, but I couldn't care less about what you preferred to be called. All I want is some answers. Now are you going to give them to me or not?" Vivian said crossing her arms.

Harmony didn't react for a moment and then suddenly, with a sweep of her finger, she closed up Vivian's mouth like a zipper.

Vivian's eyes widened and she put her hands over her mouth, feeling the lips sealed together. She started to panic, making sounds and squeaks as she looked around frantically.

"Now...does anyone else want to call me a fairy?" Harmony said, crossing her arms confidently with a smile.

The other three girls shook their heads vigorously.

Soon though Harriet decided to take a step forward.

"Okay, then Ms.Harmony...do you think you can explain to us what happened here?" Harriet asked.

"Of course...just so long as you open your ears...not your mouths." She said with a smile and lowered herself down to eye level.

"First of all, I feel it's important to let you know that I was the one who called you here." She said and the girl's eyes widened, listening intently, even Vivian.
