Lulu's pov:

Aunty Artey's magic worked wonders as she snapped her fingers, conjuring a multitude of flowers that began to dance around us. Petals in vibrant hues floated through the air, creating a mesmerizing display. Elsa and I couldn't contain our excitement, jumping and reaching out to catch the beautiful blossoms.

"Fowweers!" I exclaimed with glee, my tiny hands trying to grasp the petals as they twirled around us. Elsa giggled beside me, 

Aunty Artey's magic continued to weave its enchantment, transforming the floating flowers into a kaleidoscope of butterflies. 

The air was filled with the gentle fluttering of delicate wings, and my eyes widened with awe at the sight of the purple butterflies – my favorite color."Pupl bublyy!" I exclaimed, my voice bubbling with excitement as I pointed to the enchanting butterflies around us. Elsa giggled, clearly amused by my joy. As if on cue, a playful purple butterfly landed on her nose, and she scrunched her nose in response.Aunty Artey joined in our laughter, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, well, it seems the little princesses are enjoying the show." 

 I nodded enthusiastically, still captivated by the magical display. "Auntey, how you do that?"Aunty Artey grinned, her gaze twinkling. "Magic, my sweet little Lulu. Pure and simple magic."Elsa chimed in, her eyes wide with wonder. "Can you teach us, Aunty Artey?"Aunty Artey's laughter echoed through the ballroom. "Oh, darling, magic isn't something you learn"

As Aunty Artey gracefully excused herself, explaining that she was running late for a meeting, Elsa and I exchanged mischievous glances. Giggles bubbled up between us, and with shared excitement, we decided to embark on a little adventure of our own.

Silently, we trailed behind Aunty Artey, trying to mimic her light and graceful steps. The grand hallways of the werewolf castle echoed with our soft laughter as we tip-toed behind her, careful not to be noticed

As Aunty Artey entered the room, Elsa and I seized the opportunity presented by the slightly ajar door. Giggling with excitement, we darted inside, our little feet pitter-pattering on the grand floor. However, our gleeful adventure took an unexpected turn when, upon entering, we found ourselves surrounded by a gathering of figures.

The room, adorned with mystical artifacts and softly glowing crystals, held an air of importance. The occupants turned to us with a mix of surprise and amusement, their eyes wide at the sight of two tiny intruders who had unwittingly stumbled into their midst.

As I stood there, surrounded by the magical beings and werewolves, a sense of awe and curiosity filled the air. It was then that I noticed Mama in the crowd. At first, she appeared somewhat confused, but as her gaze focused, I saw a subtle change in her expression. Her eyes, usually a warm , had turned a striking shade of red.

In a matter of seconds, Mama moved with an otherworldly speed, and before I could comprehend what was happening, she was right in front of me. With a sense of urgency, she scooped me into her arms, hugging me to her chest. The werewolves and magical beings, including Aunty Artey, watched in surprise as Mama's protective instincts kicked in.

"Mama, what's wrong?" I asked, my voice a whisper against her shoulder.

Stay away from my little girl, Artemis," Mama commanded, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Artemis, however, responded with a chilling chuckle, a smirk playing on her lips. "Wow, I didn't know she's your little. How fascinating." Her words were laced with a coldness that made me shiver, prompting me to instinctively hide in Mama's embrace.

The Alpha King, a towering figure with an air of authority, stepped forward. His eyes, a striking shade of amber, held a calming presence. "Easy there, Athena. We don't want to cause a scene in front of the other kings and queens, okay?"

Mama's gaze shifted from Aunty Artey to the Alpha King. She took a deep breath, visibly trying to compose herself. "I just felt... something, a disturbance. It's not normal. and Artemis here isn't helping it "

 he Alpha King, his authoritative voice echoing through the grand hall, announced, "Thank you, everyone, for the meeting. Now, go enjoy the rest of the party."

As the other supernatural beings began to disperse, returning to the lively celebration, Mama, Elsa, Aunty Artey, the Alpha King, and I remained behind. There was a shared moment of quietude as the remnants of the meeting lingered in the air.

Mama found a quiet corner where she sat down, cradling me in her arms. . I nestled into Mama's embrace, feeling the soothing rhythm of her heartbeat.

In the midst of our tranquil moment, Aunty Artey's mischievous voice cut through the air. "Don't squeeze the girl too much, Athena."

Mama's eyes flickered with a mixture of amusement and a hint of defiance. "None of your business, Artemis "

 With a gasp, I pinched Mama's neck,. "Wude, Mama! Meanie to Aunty!"

At the big, pretty table, Mama and I sat with Aunty Artey, the Alpha King, and Elsa. Aunty Artey,  started making funny faces at me. Every time her face changed, I couldn't stop giggling. Mama was talking to Elsa about things I didn't really understand because Elsa was a big girl ,now , but whenever I laughed, Mama looked at Aunty Artey like she did something funny.

Aunty Artey kept making silly faces, making the air around us all playful. But Mama thought it was a bit too much. She turned me away from Aunty Artey's face, and I whined and squirmed on Mama's lap. I wanted to see more funny faces, but Mama had a different plan.

I pouted and said, "No, Mama, want Aunty," but Mama looked at me all serious-like and said firmly, "She's not your Aunty, and don't call her that. Behave yourself right now, Lulu." Mama's serious voice made me stop, but I still wanted Aunty Artey to make funny faces. It felt confusing, but I tried to be a good girl like Mama said.

Mama suddenly stood up from her seat, saying she'd be back to everyone. She lifted me up in her arms and carried me towards a room. I snuggled into her shoulder, feeling safe and warm, and wondered why we were leaving the others behind. Mama whispered reassuring words as we walked, Mama carried me to the familiar garden we had visited earlier. She sat down on a swing, placing me on her lap, and looked at me with a soft smile. "Do you wanna know why I was acting like that, babygirl?" she asked, her eyes filled with sadness.

i nodded looking at mama and that's when mama started telling me a old story about her and Aunety Artey.

Enjoy guys, and what do you think about Artemis and Athena being Liliane's caregivers ?
