SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 71

CHAPTER 71

The next day I laid around the house, went for a walk on the beach picking up a lot of seashells. I spent the day doing a lot of nothing. Sitting on the couch I wondered what time Saurian would show back up. I was ready to help her, and the other women escape the horrible lives; they have been made to endure for all these years. I was also ready to go home. Somehow in the last few months I have gotten over my anger with Harris and Summer. The past was the past, and it was time for me to look toward the future, and my future was in the keepers’ world fighting to keep the world safe. I know in my heart Dominick wouldn’t want me to be doing the things I’ve been doing. At least, one good thing is coming out of this mess and that is being able to help these women escape a life of being slaves to the male fairies.
It was just after six, and I was eating a bowl of Ravioli and watching an old episode of happy days on the nickelodeon channel when Saurian walks through my door.

“My God you scared the SHIT out of me! Don’t you know how to knock?”

“I am sorry; I'm afraid I’m not used to the customs on this earth world.”

“Well one custom is you never walk in some one's house until you knock, and they tell you to come in!”

“I will remember that Lana. I’m truly sorry.”

“Make sure you do. You’re in now so you may as well sit down.”

“What is this thing you are looking at? How are you able to watch what these people are doing? Is this how you are able to find out where the fairies are going to be before you go kill them?”

“You’re joking right?”

Saurian gawked at me like she didn’t understand why I asked her such a question. Thinking back I don’t remember seeing a television the whole time I had been on the fairy realm. If the women there had not been able to leave the fairy realm, it made since that they wouldn’t know what a TV is. It was almost impossible to believe that I was sitting here with a woman who had never seen a television in her life that’s fucking unbelievable.

“It’s called a TV it’s used on earth as a form of entertainment.” Saurian still studies me as if I am crazy. She doesn’t have the slightest idea what I am talking about. Turning the TV off, I tell her I’d explain it to her later.

“Have you decided whether you will help us or not” Saurian asked ringing her hand until they were turn red?

“Yes I‘m going to help, but I’ll need to know everything you can tell me about the fairy realm. How it works and if you know of any way I can keep my powers when I get there?”

“Why would you think you wouldn’t have your powers on the fairy realm?”

That’s when I finally understand that Saurian has no idea I have ever been on the fairy realm before. She really doesn’t have the slightest idea who I am.

“I was on the fairy realm a few months ago, and I lost my powers, as soon as I arrived there.”

“That wasn’t due to the fairy realm that was due to Prince Osier” Saurian said.

“The prince told me he had nothing to do with it, he said the fairy realm it’s self-stopped my powers from working. He said it had something to do with an incantation the first fairies had done as a safe guard to protect their world.”

“The prince lied to you. Lana in case you haven’t figured it out yet you can’t believe anything a male fairy says to you. The prince knew the moment you entered the world, and he took your powers. I never knew you were there but the women of our world are never allowed to know much of anything. How did you get away?”

That was a story I didn’t want to tell. It would bring up memories I was working hard not to think about. “It’s a long story maybe I’ll tell you another time right now I need you to tell me everything you know. Furthermore, if I get the women out that are already slaves to mates will that break the spell the male fairies have over them?”

“YES, if they can leave the fairy realm that will break the males hold on them but Lana; I don’t think that will be possible the women can’t think for their self. Their minds and bodies belong to the males and there're too many of them for you to kill. Plus the tree people will stop you; they may be small, but they are very strong.”

“Saurian I’ll grantee you if you can get me in the fairy realm, and I’m able to keep my powers, I will get all the women out including the ones that are already slaved. Trust me when I tell you I’ll be the male fairies and the tree people worst nightmares."

Saurian tells me everything she knows about the realm. We discuss the place we will open the door and led the women through. I asked her how they will make it when they all leave the realm. She tells me they hadn’t thought that far ahead but with what powers they have they should be able to provide for themselves. We talked for over an hour setting a date for the next week for everything to take place. Our conversation started to die down with all our plans completed. I was about to turn the TV back on and try to explain to her what it was and how it worked when she asked if she could ask me one question about when I had been on the fairy realm. I started to tell her I didn’t want to discuss any of my time there with her, but then I thought her question may have some importance to what we may be facing next week.

“Sure what’s your question?”

“I did over hear the men talking about someone leaving the fairy realm I just didn’t know what they were talking about. Any ways I heard them saying the people left one of their animal’s there when they left. Later, I found out it was a man. Was that you, they were talking about?”

Feeling anger rise at the thought of them referring to Dominick as an animal made my blood boil. I couldn’t wait to go back to the fairy realm with my powers and make all the male fairies pay for not just killing Dominick but referring to him as an animal. When he was one of the best people, I had ever met. He gave his life to save not only me but Case, Rachel and Adam.

“Yes that was me, along with some of my friends who left but we never left the man you’re talking about there. We saw the tree people kill him. There was nothing we could do. It killed me to leave him there knowing we couldn’t get to his body and bring him back home where he could be put to rest the way a man like him deserved.

“Lana I don’t know what you thought you saw, but that man is not dead. I would say he wished he was with all the beatings I’ve heard they give him on a daily basis but the man you speak of is very much alive.”
