Chapter 3

I don't really remember the rest of the night after those few,hmm whats a good word for it? Ah yes, crappy moments. I guess you could say I got "tipsy" or "drunk" on emotions but, whatever floats tour boat I'm cool with.

Any ways, I woke up the next morning on my bed in the royal castle of Nevernever. "Oh good your awake I guess I should go tell your dad you're up." I look over to my side to find Nick. I groaned and flopped back on my back. I heard Nick chuckle. "What are you laughing at Nickolai?" I asked. I knew that he hated his real name.

"You really wanna pull out the real name cards Lox?" I knew where he was going with this so I sat up really quick and started shaking my head frantically. "That's what I thought." He turned around to open the door. I stuck my tongue out at him and started mocking him silently. All of sudden my tongue turned into one of a snake.

"Nick!"

"Yes princess?" He looked over his shoulder and acted like he didn't know what was going on. I raised an eyebrow and he chuckled. Next think I knew I could feel my tongue swelling up and turning back to normal. Nick walked out of the room and strode towards my fathers office. I jumped off the bed and padded in the direction Nick went. Once I found him again he was leaning outside my fathers office.

'He's not to happy with you. This is the third time you've absorbed to much emotions and made a mess in the last month.' He said telepathically. I bit my lip and looked at him pleadingly. ' Hey don't look at me I saved your butt last time by throwing myself under the bus.' Remembering that I smiled and then sobered up.

'Well here goes nothing.' I thought. The door was already opened a little so I just pushed it open further to where I could wedge myself through. The swivel chair was turned around. It reminded me of those old movies where the evil dude is in the chair and he turns around with a big,white, fluffy cat and is petting him all slow like. Then he laughs this real evil laugh.

I started to giggle when he turned around. He raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Are you done?" My laugh and smile disappeared. "So Lox, is there anything you want to tell me?"

I pondered over this for a moment and then said, "I love you daddy." I used the daddy card to see if it would soften him up a little. He didn't budge.

He sighed and stood up as my 'innocent smile' disappeared. "This is the fourth time this month."

"Actually third." he glared at me and sighed again

."You need to take responsibilities in your own hands. That's why I'm making you plan the Royal Ball." Something clicked in my head and I remembered last nights fiasco.

"Dad! something happened last night and it has something to do with the ball." My dad whipped around and looked at me.

"Show me now". I knew he was indicating to the 'mind movie'. Every relative of a faerie have a connection in the mind with out the use of spells or magick. I hated it though because once you take the 'wall that keeps others out' down it takes forever to put back up. I groaned and imagined a giant wrecking ball knocking over the steal wall in my head. I imagined pressing the fast forward button in my head and then pressed play on the part where I touched Ace's hand and had the vision. He watched the whole thing and then backed out of my head when it was over.

My Dad cursed and slammed his fist on his desk sending a couple things flying. I ducked out of the way just in time before the picture of me practicing glamour with Nick and making him turn into a frog, slammed into my head. "Dad? What's wrong?" I walked around him so I was standing in front of him and looked into his eyes. "Go to your room." He practically growled. "But Dad." I whined.

"Now. And send Nick in on your way out, I need to speak with him." He pointed towards the door and waited for me to leave. I huffed and trudged out of the room and walked down the hall to Nicks room. I stopped at his door and closed my eyes and rubbed my head. Then banged my fist on the door. Except it was a very fleshy door, and I don't think doors yell "Ow!" when you bang on them. I opened my eyes and smiled at the sight in front of me. Nick was holding his cheek and scowling at me. "What was the for Lox?"

"I thought you were a door." I laughed alittle and remembered my message. "Dad wants to talk to you. Now" I pointed my thumb over my shoulder and Nick walked over to my Dad's office. I looked back at him and he gave me a thumbs up and a cheesy smile. I did the same thing back at him and dropped the whole look and walked back to my room. 

I groaned and flopped face first onto my pillow. I snapped my head up when I thought of something. Maybe I could channel into Nicks mind and hear what he's hearing. I tried to focus on Nicks mind but came up blank. Uh oh. That conversation must be really serious or they know me all to well to know I'd be eavesdropping. Either way it makes me wonder. Ans when I want to know something I will find out what it is no matter what.
