Fairy Wings

Mr Malcom

When I wake up, I'm exactly where I was when Kim left. She went down a hallway, letting the dark swallow her. I still remember her ghostly smile.

Everything seems the same. Except it isn't. There are people screaming, running around, calling for help. There is a huge cloud of people around me, and the all seem terrified.

I feel so confused, so stuck. But then I see Jem. She is walking away from me, with a horrified expression on her face, like she is scared... Of what? I stand up and start running towards her. She screams and collapses. It's like I've been punched in the stomach. She is scared of me, Alice. It is then I realize, her wing. It is in a very bad state. It is bandaged up and it looks as if it is going to fall apart.

She runs in the opposite direction into a young mans arms. I recognize his face. It's Max, the weird guy. I manage a smile, before a guard storms up to me.

I groan silently. It's going to happen ,again. I'm going back to square one, in the room, again. I'm going to cry... Again. But I won't. I won't let them see me, they can throw a boulder at me for all I care.

Just as the guard is only a few paces away, an elderly man walks out of no where. He has little legs and he was so skinny, he looked lile a skeleton. He had a wrinkly face and glasses. Which sat on a crooked nose. His eyes were a bright green. So green he could be a relative of Harry Potter! He seems to be concerned for me, but I instantly feel concerned for him that he feels that way. I'm just a freak after all, a stupid little thing with nothing to loose. When the guard is so close, his shadow is looking over me and I can feel his hot breath, a shaking voice rings out of the blue.

It speaks with such priority and importance, I instantly feel smaller than a grain of rice. When I look up, I see it was the little elderly man.

"Hey, don't you go grabbing people like that! It is very rude sir!" The old man whacks the guard over the head. I am too stunned to do anything.

The guard seems to be in the same position.

"But, Mr Malcom, she is a fugitive of the law, she is to be kept under watch at all time- ouch!"

The old man had whacked him again.

"Don't you be talking rubbish like that young man! I do not care if she was a murder, she is not to be treated like that."

And with one more whack on the head, the old man took me by the arm and walked away.

"Stupid guards... Think they are always the best..." I had to try so hard not to giggle.

The man leads me to a room and tells me to sit. He gives me a warm smile.

"Would you like some miscuts and bilk... I mean milk and biscuits? I have some of those yummy strawberry ones..."

I nodded my head violently. I was so hungry I could eat a horse.

I helped myself to some biscuits and some cold milk. The man was looking at me as I ate, inspecting me, but I didn't mind. I was too hungry to really care.

When I had finished, he clapped his hands loudly.

"Alright Miss..."

"Alice" I said.

"Miss Alice. You are probably wondering why I have bought you here. My name is Malcom Anderson, and I am here to... Inform you."

I nodded, slightly confused.

"It has come to my attention, you have seen Kim. You went through the Wardif, and broken a wing. You are lucky that you landed on the new marshmallow paddocks, it could have ended badly if not. You have also escaped imprisonment and tricked the top authorities. To put it straight,  you are quite... The rebel. The top faries have really grown a dislike for you."
Said Malcom chucking.

I blushed and looked down, not ashamed, but embarrassed.

"Well, that's surprising..."

"Well, would it surprise you if I told you that Vaxees are coming, and you are the only thing that can stop them?"

He said suddenly serious.

I bet my face looked priceless.
