Attack of the Fairies (#2 in the All That Jazz series)

chapter 8 - die off...

I was overly happy that the next day I could move. Although I did like how Logan took care of me all day. One would say that I felt like a princess, but I am a princess already. It just seemed so much better when it was Logan. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Today Kim had invited me to the castel. The FLOATING castel that I will one day be able to live in too. I've heard so much about this castel, but only certian people are allowed to see it. Only the people that Kim allows because tecnically its her castel. When her time is done it will become my castel and when my time is done it will become the other dragon riders and so-on. I hope I'm not confusing you too much.

 I had no clue how I was going to get there though. Logan wasn't in his room. He wasn't in the kitchen. He wasn't in any of the living rooms. He wasn't outside. To sum it up, I couldn't find him. He was missing! On the day I'm supposed to go to the FLOATING castle and HE'S GONE! How could he do that to me? How am I even supposed to get to the Carribean from here? Huh? How? Cause I don't know!

Bullet was no help. He didn't even care that Logan was gone. He just kept running around like a little puppy dog. But I wasn't mad at Bullet. Oh no! Can you guess who I'm mad at? Well... EVERYONE! Kim, Drew, and Logan. I think that pretty much sums it up. I can't be mad at Evan because I don't know him. I haven't seen him since Bullet hatched. I think he's avoiding me...

Oh well, that's his loss not mine.

I'm just sitting here in my room, pouting. I really was excited for this day, and now that it's here... it honestly sucks. I sighed and threw my head back. What can I do that's more fun then going to a floating castle... Oh I know! Nothing.

There was a knock at me window and my head snapped up. Who the hell would be at my window? I tore open the curtins and Logan was standing there. How... is he standing in mid air? I narrowed my eyes at him and opened the window, "How... are you... floating?" I pointed my finger at him.

He laughed a bit, "I'm not floating. I'm on a pegasus."

"A what?"

He held out his hand to me. i hesitated slightly before placing my hand in his. He pulled me and I stepped onto this mystery animal. It looked like a white horse... but with wings. I felt like I was going to fall off a first, but Logan held tightly onto me. He helped me sit on the horse thing then sat in front of me, "You might want to hold on tight." He smiled back at me.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and hid my face into his shoulder. Soon enough I felt the wind flying past me and I slammed my eyes shut. I hope being on a dragon won't be this bad or I won't be able to fly. Wait. When I was nine Kim let me go on Kane. So, if I remember correctly, I didn't find it this scary. Loosen up Jessica, your going to have a panic attack or something.

 It didn't take long, but it was a very uncomfortable ride. That horse thing shouldn't be meant to fly. When it stopped moving I opened my eyes and noticed we seemed to be on a landing pad of some sorts. Logan got off the flying horse then helped me off. The thig flew away once again and I looked up to see where we were.

Wow.

This is incredible.

Way better than my castle that's for sure.

It was huge. Reached all the way into the clouds. There was clouds beneath us too. It was crazy to think that this thing is floating in the air right now because it doesn't feel like it. The cream colored pillars with purple roof tops amazed me as much as the big wooden doors.

Logan looked at my face and chuckled, "All the purple you see was pink, but Kim hates pink so it had to be changed."

I laughed, "That sounds like something Kim would do."

 He grabbed my hand and started walking towards the castle. It was nice and peaceful here. There wasn't even wind, which was weird. The walk was longer than it looked to get in the giant wooden doors. They were bigger once you got closer too. They were opened automatically and I was actually scared. "Don't worry. Its just some majic because Kim really likes when she can walk up to doors and they open for her."

"So like the ones at the shopping center?" Logan just laughed and nodded.

The inside was even more amazing. The whole room we had stepped into looked like it had come out of Cinerella or Sleepign Beauty. It was beautiful. "This is the ball room. We have many parties in here," Logan smiled. I'm guessing he was remembering some of those parties.

There was also six thrones at the far end of the room. The two middle ones were covered swirls, the ones on the left were covered in hearts and the ones on the right were covered in stars. "The swirls are for Kim and Drew. You and I are the hearts, we're special because we get to sit to Kims right."

I laughed, Evan must not like that.

He started walking again and I followed. Everything in here just looked so breakable, I didn't want to touch it. Even the hallway was tall and had arches on the celing that were crazy cool. Every door we came across was different in xome way. There was a dark one with a little 'x' on the front. A white one with a flower. A yellow one with a star. A green one with a dog... why is there a dog? 

Logan stopped at a red one that had a little heart on it, "This is your office. But you can't see it yet." Okay, well you didn't have to show it to me then. We kept walking a little bit more till we got to a blue door with a swirl, "This is Kim's office." Makes sense.

He opened the door and let me go in first. Her office was nice and cozy. There was a desk at the far end near the wall of windows. The other walls were covered in shelves that all had lots of books. There was also two couches off to the sides. Kim was sitting behind her desk looking out to the clouds out her window wall.

"Hey Kim," Logan cleared his throat from behind me.

Kim turned the chair around and smiled at me, "Hey Jess, how are things?"

"Everything is pretty amazing," I smiled back at her. Why did she call me Jess? Was it a nickname? Just go with it I guess.

Logan grumbled something but he walked out the door leaving Kim and I alone. I sat down in the chair in front of Kim and we smiled at each other before she pressed a button and a book came out of the middle of the desk. It was a simple white book that kinda glowed. "This," Kim gestured to the book. "Is everything and anything you will need to know about the world. You will be able to read it once Bullet grows to full size...."

She stopped talking and looked around the room, "Where is Bullet?"

Oh crap.

"Uh...." I mentally slapped myself, "Crap we forgot him."

Kim narrowed her eyes at me before getting up and looking through the books on her shelves. She pulled out a really old looking one that had a picture of a dragon on it before she sat back down at her desk. "Today we were going to discuss world problems, but we should start with you because something is not right between you and Bullet."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, by this time you should already be feeling his emotions, you should be able to send him pictures with you mind. But its been a week and you still can't do that." She opened the book she had grabbed and started to skim through the pages, "Found it. Dragon communication. If the rider and the dragon can not communicate by the end of the second week after the dragon's birth, then the dragon and the rider were not meant to be together in this life and they will both die off..."

I swear my eyes alomst fell out of their sockets. I can die if Bullet and I can't talk by the end of next week.

"But, if you see this problem early enough, there is a ceremony that the rider can go through to fix it." Kim and I both let out deep breaths that we probably didn't realize we were holding on to. "Okay then, enough about that. We should probably get our minds off of that and talk about other peoples problems."

I nodded my head in agreement.

 AHH!! OH NO! What's going to happen to her??? :o Tell me what you think!
