Faeries (Phan) {COMPLETED}

*31*

*Ava's POV*

"Skylla min renapol hemmen fronn alla otim Dan, Phil, Chris, oche Ava," Marlhy chanted into seemingly nothing. Blue runes expelled from her hands and formed the shape of a large treehouse before disappearing. The treehouse was pretty big, and that along with seeing fairy magic for the first time was pretty damn cool.

"That's really amazing, Marlhy, I've never seen magic before," I said, breathless. She just blushed and muttered a thanks.

The five of us climbed into the treehouse, Dan assisted by a charm from Marlhy. It was a lot comfier on the inside than it seemed it would be. I plopped down on the seat in the middle of the sitting room and dropped my bag beside it, leaning back. "Exhausted," I sighed, still slightly getting over all the running earlier today.

"Can I get you anything to eat?" Chris asked.

"You have any apples?" I asked, eyes still closed.

"I'm sure we can manage," he said, before presumably going to fetch me one.

When Chris got back with my apple, I graciously thanked him before sinking my teeth into it. Obviously starving, I tried my best to eat politely but failed. Dan and Phil giggled at me before beginning to chat.

"So, Ava," Dan started, "how have you been recently?"

"Not great, actually," I sighed, recollecting the events from the past few days. "I won't be a bother, though, I'm sure you don't want to hear about it."

"Don't worry, Chris already told us about it." Phil assured me. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm trying to prevent awkward silences, Ava," Dan chuckled, "at least try to start some conversation."

"I'm not good at that. Can you?" I asked.

"Alright. What's your favourite colour?" he asked.

"Mahogany," I answered, "you?"

"Black," Dan responded.

"Rainbows!" Phil followed up.

"You're such a gay, Phil," I laughed. He frowned. "Nuh-uh, I love colour! Danny's all boring and he doesn't like pretty hues, but I'm always a slut for bright and cheery."

"I was kidding, you numpty," I smiled. He grinned back at me almost child-like, and Dan blushed. He really loved his Philly.

"We'd really love to stay and chat," Dan said, "but my chest is hurting again, I'm so sorry. Philly, would you mind taking me back to the bedroom?"

Dan flashed me a smile and waved as Phil helped him up and walked him back. When Dan was situated, Phil started to come back, but was stopped by Dan's voice. He locked eyes with me and blushed before retreating to the bedroom. I just shook my head and smiled.

Marlhy made an appearance after a few minutes. "Hey, um, Ava?"

"Yeah, love?"

She went red, but continued. "Do you have a preference as to where you'd like to sleep?"

"No," I said after a moment of thought, "wherever you'd like to put me."

"Well," she wondered out loud, "Chris and I take the other bedroom, but I could put you back there with him and I could sleep out here..."

"No you won't," I stopped her, "I'm not letting you sleep anywhere else but a bed."

"Thank you for your kindness, but you're our guest and so you will sleep in the bed. Besides, I'll only have to sleep out here until Chris and I get another bedroom added on, which would only take one or two days if we start soon."

"Fine," I agreed.

Before she could leave, though, I called out, "Marlhy?"

She turned to face me, and as she did, I got up from the seat. I walked over to her and enveloped her in a tight hug. It surprised her, but soon enough she returned the embrace. Marlhy was tiny all over, so I could've wrapped my arms around her waist a time and a half. Her short black hair smelled of flowers and I never wanted to let go.

"Thank you for letting me stay. I can't express enough gratitude."

She nodded against my shoulder.
