Hydrangea

Chapter 2

My eyes feel heavy, my head is spinning, and I am lying on something extremely uncomfortable. Then I begin to hear voices that sound far away.

" Are you kidding me!"

" What! Do you have a problem with her?!"

" She isn't fey! I told you we needed another faery!"

" How was I supposed to know she was a nymph!?"

" I don't know how about the fact that she sings!"

" Look nymphs sing AND dance! She is the least graceful person I've ever met."

" You have to take her back."

" No! Would you just listen to me."

" Fine. I'm listening."

" Look nymphs are half fey so she could still fight like one."

" Whatever, fine."

" Yeah! Now let's take her to mom before it gets too dark."

Charity slightly opens her eyes to see two tall figures. One of their voices sounds very familiar. The other voice doesn't remind her of any one she knows.

The taller one scoffs and says," Looks like she's already awake. Spares us from having to carry her."

Charity in a fit of trying to protect herself stands up quickly and starts throwing punches into the space in front of her. She hits nothing and opens her eyes.

There is a guy to her right. He has jet black hair that shines in the remainder of sunlight. She notices his eyes next. They were the color of a clear blue sky. Even if they did strike her as beautiful they looked completely emotionless.

" What did you say about her fighting like a fey?" He says seeming more than slightly annoyed.

" We are not taking her back!!" Cries the other voice.

Charity looks to her left in almost a daze. She finds Andrea standing there. Andrea smiles at her disorientated friend happily.

" You did just see what I saw right? It was extremely pathetic. She didn't even have her eyes open!" He says stating the obvious.

Charity crosses her arms and says," I am right here just so you guys know."

He glares at her and says," No."

Andrea throws her arms up in the air and demands," Oh, why not!"

" Do you see her?" He questions motioning his hand up and down at Charity.

" Yes," Andrea mutters letting her arms fall to her sides.

" One she is shorter than the two of us. Two she doesn't have any experience in fighting. Three just, just no," He states clearly over the entire conversation.

Andrea plants her feet firm while she leans in and says," One who cares if she's short, she can just sneak around better. Two it's very easy to learn things in somebody's true nature when they come here and you know that. Three I don't care what you say she stays."

He brings two fingers to each of his temples slowly rubbing them and says," You know what fine, but-BUT if she messes up it's on you."

Andrea jumps happily and says," Thanks your the best brother!"

Charity's mouth falls open and says pointing at him," He's your brother."

Andrea turns back to Charity and says," Twin brother, yes."
