Love Is Never Ugly

Chapter 58

"I don't know about this message of yours sweet wings." Anthony said looking over the sheet of paper Vagatha had written on. "I can't read a lick of this."

"Anthony you can't read a lick of anything." She answered. "You're a spider. You're illiterate."

"Well you can't read either. Anyway, if we can't read then how exactly do we know for certain that Rosie will understand this?"

"I honestly don't know but I did the best I could."

"Maybe we should ask Alastor to look over it?"

"Absolutely not. Then he'll know we're trying to contact her and you know how he feels about his aunts. If he finds out that we're attempting to consort with one of them, he'll consider it treachery. Even if we're doing it for his own good."

"Which raises the question, is this really for his own good? Bringing her here? The very women who ruined not only his life, but his mother's?"

"I can't say for certain but what else can we do? Our situation has become more desperate."

"And what if she doesn't help us? Or worse? What if she somehow causes the spell to intensify?"

"No fear of that darlings." A voice from behind giggled. The two servants jumped back startled and there stood the powerful, the beautiful, yet the dangerous red-headed fairy in all her glory and terror.

"Rest assured, when a fairy casts a curse she is bound by her word to accept all terms. That means the curse must be breakable and it's effects cannot be change by the caster for any reason."

"How the hell did you get in here?" Anthony asked.

"I'm a fairy. That means I have special powers you idiot."

"What are you doing here?" Vagatha asked.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but did you not intend to summon me here?" Rosie asked.

"Yes but I hadn't even sent the message yet."

"You silly little creatures." She chuckled. "There's no need for all that. If you wanted me to come you only had to call."

Rosie took a seat and made a cup of tea appear in her hand. She took a few sips before speaking again.

"Ah, nothing like a cup of tea after a trip." She said. "Now what is it you want of me?"

"Well for starters." Vagatha briefly checked the area around them. "Can Alastor smell your scent?"

"Of course not. I know very well what his feelings are toward me and I know he has a nose that could make a bloodhound envious, so I masked my scent with an enchantment. If he continues sulking in his room then he'll never know I was here. and I must say it was rather bold of you Miss Vagatha to send for me. I admire that. Especially in a lower species."

"I didn't want to send for you." Vagatha said with a tone that was respectful yet bitter. "But I didn't know who else to turn to."

"I see. So what is so important that you're willingly to put aside your distaste for me and risk the wrath of your master?"

"What are you, blind?! Look at me?!" Anthony said pointing to his face that now bore four eyes and mandibles.

"So? I assumed that you always this ugly." She sipped from her cup again.

"Why you pompous bi-"

Vagatha instantly clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Excuse us for a moment." She pulled him into the other room for a private conversation. "Anthony control yourself. Remember what she is and what she can do to you."
