Secrets We Keep (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7

This one was a kimono like Zemma's in different shades of cornflower blue. It was trimmed with gold hemming and simple designs among it and a large gold sash was wrapped around the waist loosely. The hemming of the wide-open arms was gold and a golden ribbon was attached to a shoulder. "Its too much Zemma, you've seriously outdone yourself! Its just so," Evena gushed breathlessly.

Zemma put the dresses back and instructed, "You must come here at dusk to pick up your dresses!!" Evena figured it would mean coming at 11pm instead of midnight. "Will do Zemma." The scones and tea was cold by the time they had gotten back to the table."Oh no! Its all cold!" Zemma exclaimed in panic. She was a very set forward, straight and orderly pixie. Cherry and Evena let out a laugh, "Oh Zemma." Zemma hurried in to her kitchen and took out warm leaf bread from the oven. Evena tipped her tea back in to the pot which she warmed up. "Oh no!" Cherry cried, "Evena! We must leave now! I am late!"

"For what Cherry?" Evena looked at her, concerned. "Bye Zemma! Thank you so much! Sorry! Bye!" Cherry called as she gripped Evena's hand and out they flew. "Cherry!!" Evena called as she whizzed next to her. "Just, later!" Cherry said and flew on. They were flying so fast that their surroundings were merely a blur. Evena was out of breath, unlike Cherry, when they finally got to the palace gates. "I am sorry Evena, but I mustn't be late for recitals of the speech I must give tomorrow, this is my 10th Blue Moon! They say that the 10th is the most honourable one!!" she exclaimed.

Evena looked at the sky. The moon was edging slowly towards the horizon. "Well, I got to go to Cherry, good luck! I'll see you tomorrow then!" Evena said, hugging Cherry. Evena flew away, glancing back to see that Cherry had already left. The palace was a sight! Evena flew towards the creek and suddenly she was in the water again. Her full size this time. The water was colder, yet clearer and Evena fought to the top. Once she gasped her breath she quickly got out. Shivering and annoyed, yet happy and calmed after the meeting, she inspected herself for any cuts.
