Secrets We Keep (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24

Zayne was right, Evena thought. It was easy to get lost in the music. And after a few times stepping on his foot, Evena got it. She looked down the whole time at her feet and looked a few times up to see him smiling. 

They swayed to the pixie music and Zayne twirled her. Cherry and her partner came around and her eyes widened at Evena and Zayne. Cherry giggled with a smile and Evena shot her a murderous look. The still water rippled beneath their feet as they stepped to and fro.

Evena was getting tired, but she didn't want to escape Zayne's grasp. "Zayne, come," Evena ordered and pulled him off the dance floor. She held his hand as they flew away and to Cherry's and hers secret place. Evena smiled at him when they got there. "It's, amazing up here!" he breathed. And a happy warm feeling bubbled in her. 

"Zayne, didn't you know?" Evena said sitting down on a branch. It was like a small cosy tree house with thick leaves all around them and a wide opening at the front where they could see Evena's house and the city beyond. "No," he sat down next to Evena and looked at her. "I live, there, i'm a human but i come here, it's like, my happy place, Cherry and the Queen and everyone know, because i always come here," Evena pointed at the house. A happy look came over his face. 

"I know Evena! I live on the other side of these woods! And i go to that city too! I'm human too! Cherry told me about you, because i come here more often as my parent's have to take care of my little sister Jade," he grinned. 

And relief tumbled in to Evena. Wait, relief? Evena felt jealous. Zayne had a great life over there. "Zayne?" Evena started, looking away.

And for the 2nd time in the night, Evena told another pixie/human of her troubles and problems and mum and school and everything and anything and completely nothing.
