The blue light flew closer, and I could feel myself panicking. The vision of the dragon warning me not to accept flashed before my eyes, and if my suspicions were right, that dragon would be the death of Oliver.
No that wasn't happening. There wasn't even a dragon around here. I was panicking for no reason.
I opened my eyes, which i hadn't even realized I had closed. There were many fairies now, all the auras surrounding them different, from pink to yellow, to blue to green and every color in between. One fairy though was bigger than all the rest though. She was surrounded in white and gold swirls and was dressed in a long elegant dress, making me feel under dressed in my dirty sweat shirt and jeans.
She got close enough for me to see her, face which seemed grim, and by her side was a blue fairy, nervously twiddling with her fingers.
She glanced up at me and quickly looked away when she saw I was looking at her. She looked familiar. Where had I seen her before?
"You are the fairy that was looking in my room and out side Oliver's house!" I accused the little blue girl with wings
"ummm...yes?" she asked nervously, avoiding eye contact, "I am very sorry, your highness" she said quickly with a quick bow
"Your highness?" I question
"Shush Lilianzee." The women in the white dress scolded
"Who are you?" I ask, looking at her, taking in her beauty. She had long golden curls, falling to her waist and loving, chocolate colored eyes. Her skin was extremely pale, and she was was tall, holding her head high, and standing on the air with a posture of a queen.
"Izadora," She greeted me, nodding her head slowly in respect.
"I prefer Christina" I said slowly
"But you were born of the Mezzo, Queen Izadora" She said patiently
"Queen?" I all but shrieked
"You didn't explain it to her?" She glared at Eliot
"This isn't his fault, would you like to explain since you know sooo much about this?" I was started to get annoyed at her
"You are the first born, full mezzo, you are our Queen" She said calmly
"ME? A QUEEN?" I laughed at the thought
"she is not kidding" Elliot said quietly
"WHAT?" I screech, "Why haven't you told me sooner"
"because..." Eliot started
"We need you now, my queen, you didn't need to know sooner" she cut him off
"Who are you?" I ask her again
"My name is Tamilee, but everyone calls me Tami" She said
"Tami, Why do you need me? Does this have something to do with why Zeiden took me? besides the marriage of course..." I demanded to know, trailing off in the end.
"Marriage?" Oliver and gabe snarled at the same time, Gabe stepping out of the shadows of the surrounding trees. Were had he gone
"He obviously didn't get what he wanted" I growled at the two of them, still waiting for the explanation from Tami
"If my scouts are correct, he wanted you to make sure a war between us and the Phil happens." she looks at me asking with her eyes if that is right, so I nod
"well yes a war is about to break out. Once we found you, the phils were some how convinced that we had taken you all along. When we said we couldn't bring you to them because we would not kidnap our queen, they accused us of turning their princess against them and said if we didn't present their queen to them in the next week, they would declare war. I sent Lilianzee to watch you, so we could come talk to you but then you were taken by the Nefarious. We couldn't declare war on them and I knew the boys would come get you." she explained
"So you want me to give myself up to these people to do what ever just so you don't have to fight a war?" I asked
"no. You are our queen, you can not just give your self up. You just need to tell them we didn't hurt you and get the peace back. We want nothing more than peace. once the peace is back, you will rule as our Queen, and plus, don't you want to meet your mother? She asked her voice getting soft at the end.
once more a vision of the dragon flashed before me, but since when are dreams real?
"I will go. I will be a queen worthy of you" I promised. I couldn't let her down. She seemed almost desperate. I could tell they needed me there was no way I could say no.
"Thank You" She said, relaxing, "Lilianzee, you shall stay and help Izadora"
Lilianzee grinned and fluttered over to me, bowing before me. I held out my hand and she landed on it, grinning at me
"Your highness, our greatest thanks goes to you. We must return to your kingdom, we are growing weak in this unclaimed area. Return to us soon" and she turned and they left, disappearing into the pallet of colors, painted in the sky by the rising sun.
as soon as they left Nicolette turned and grinned at me, "I am best friends with a QUEEN!" she squealed and I laughed at her childless.
"you will be a great queen" Oliver said kissing my nose. I smiled at him, but I was nervous. How could I be good enough to rule over so many people?
I was about to reply when once again I saw something sneak out of the shadows of the trees. But this time it wasn't a fairy nor Oliver. It's blue scales and giant body stepped in to the clearing and I gasped instantly recognizing it.
The dragon from my dream. And it looked angry.
