Enchanted

Chapter 13: Love Mom?

"What the freaking fudge is this?!
Is the first thing can plunge out of my mouth.

"So you, my own mother had been chasing me down for days, kidnapped my friend, and probably killed Charile just to meet me here. This is a whole bunch of messed up crap."

The lady or I guess my mom steps forward with a extended arm.

"If you will come with me, all will be revealed in time sweetie."

That last word seemed to be a punch in the gut. I hesitantly reached for her hand. Dallas quickly moves me aside and whispers,

"We can't trust her. I can feel it, I can see the danger in her eyes. She will manipulate you, make you do things you only thought could happen in your nightmares."

"Look around, Dallas. We don't have a choice."

He takes my left hand in his right, watching me carfully grab the pale thin hand of a stranger.

****

I open my eyes alone in a small pink bedroom. A queen size bed rests next to a tinted window. I hurry across a white rug towards the door yanking on the knob. When it doesn't open, I bang my hands and yell though I have a gut feeling that nobody is listening on the other side. I punch and kick the walls for what feels like hours worrying for Dallas. When I walk over to the bed I notice a small scrap of paper I know was never there before.

Get ready for dinner with the family in ten minutes. There's everything you need in the closet.

-Love Mom

Mom? Ok right now she's seeming like the bad guy I don't know why she's deciding to give herself that label. But I'm just glad to be eating, I'm famished. I spy a closet with only one outfit. A baby blue flourished dress with dazzling diamonds all over it. As much as I hate dresses, I slipped it on and easily opened the door.

I rush down the hallway turning this way and that at corners, unaware of which way was the correct way. Stopping, I turn one more corner then groan in frustration when I then hear loud laughing coming from the wall. Well at least I think its the wall. Stepping closer I reach towards the wall to my left, watching my hand emerge into it. Soon my whole body is through and I stare at a giant fancy dinning room with fairies and witches. The only things uncomfortable about it is the excessive amounts of pink decoration and the sudden heavy weight of tension in the room.

"Grace, honey, come sit near me."

I see my mom beccon me to her, of course, in a pink plush chair. Thankfully I still have my sneakers on so when a take my seat there was zero chance of me falling on my face infront of all these fairies and witches. I look around and notice Dallas sitting across from me, his hands in his lap looking down at his plate with remorse. I whisper his name but he never looks up. The other creatures at the table appear as normal women, but pairs of wings or eye colors seperate them from humans. My um, mother, hits her fork against her fancy cup silencing everybody.

"So hopefully you all know by now that my daughter, Grace, has finally come home."

Applause comes from all around the dinner table but all I can think about is if this really is my home. Why would they lock me up if she's so proudly pronounced that I'm home? I slowly grab my infinity necklace for reassurance. The room changes for a couple seconds and its like I can see everything. The purple haired fairies are skeletons, their fancy long dresses soaked in blood. My mom looks the worst with a skeleton body and giant flaming crown on her head. Then it's gone. I swipe my hand from my necklace and in an instant it's all gone. All the guests look questioningly at me as if I were asked a question.

"Grace," My mother says between her now gritted teeth. "I had asked if you were enjoying your food." I stare at her for a momment noticing the tone in her voice.

"Yes. All the food is wonderful."

I look around the room for a momment thinking of my next words carefully. "Yet I'm still clueless on to what you want from me. Why are you keeping me here like a prisoner?" She smiles broadly, not a hint of frustration on her face as if she were to know something I didn't. Which in this case, she does.

"You are free to leave any time you like. But everyone here would surely miss you, especially me." She knows I would never leave without Dallas.

"But there's a giant canyon right outside the doors. The only way to get over is by flying of some sort."

"Well I guess that would be your own personal concern, right girls."

The whole table titters and giggles in response as if she said a funny inside joke.

I lean forward, slowly, and whisper
"I will do whatever it takes to get us out of this diseased place and get information about the infinity."

"Well you could start by not blabbing your feelings to everyone."

"If I have a thought I'm going to share it. Especially since you're not being of much help."

"Are you kidding me? She froze my hands together, that twisted crazy woman is way out of our hands but at least I'm trying."

"Ok fine I'll give you credit for not killing her earlier but we still need answers."

"Just be careful Grace I don't want you to get hurt."

"You don't to worry about me, at least I have nothing to lose."

That cut off the conversation leaving the food to eat. I ate some of the meats and vegetables that were provided on a trolly that came racing over around the table for seconds.
"This turkey is interesting I've never had any so tough."
One fairy giggled "That's horse not turkey! But sometimes we secretly cook unicorns for that sweet rainbow taste." I upchuck almost everything that was in my stomach from the though of a poor enchanted horse being barbecued for food. Dallas however has no problem giving a few laughs at me before being silenced by a wave of magic from my mother. After dinner my mother personaly guides me to my room, her huge pink dress flows behind her on the floor like a beautiful bridal vail. I try my hardest not to step on it or say anything that might get me killed in three seconds. When we reach the door I step inside leaving her at the door. "We can talk tommorow for sure honey." Her hazel brown eyes sparkle like an enchanting charm. She closes the door behind her and I gladly throw off my blue dress and put on my regular clothes. When I hop into bed I try not to worry myself to death.

Hi peoples, readers, acidental readers, and a few unknown stockers. I know I should get like a slap on the wrist for not posting a chapter for almost two months. But its here now right! I'm so glad that more and more people are reading this and I'm kind of excited for more people to read it. If you haven't guessed, its about to get real interesting in a few chapters. Will questions be answered. Will we see if Donold Trump wins the election causing world domination and distruction? Who knows. Maybe unicorns will be discovered.
