2 Moons - Fairy tales Slashed

CH 33 - The Royal Ball Begins...

Beam POV

Something was definitely up, they were all being weird. Kitty was staying away from me, that happened when he was hiding something, and Ming was giving me worried looks since I got to the house.

Ours and Ming's parents had left early for the ball, they had to meet and greet, and we would follow. But I had to attend a meeting as soon as I arrived, so I was a little late getting back to get ready. Forth had come to see me but after waiting for a while left, when a message arrived for him.

Yo peeked in fidgeting, he looked a lot happier now he had seen Pha but something was up, I could tell. I looked at the boots again as I waited for Yo to come in.

"P'Beam?" Oh, that voice.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We can wait for you." He says.

"You guys go on, I'll follow." I told him. "I shouldn't be too long."

I moved towards my clothes, still looking at the boots. Sorry Bee but I couldn't give them to him; I wanted him to stay happy.

"P'Beam, are those new?" Yo peeks over my shoulder at the boots.

"Yes, just got them." I turned to look at him. "Run along, don't you want to see Pha?"

He hugs me before running off, so it had to be bad. What did they know? Was the bastard already with someone? I wish I hadn't missed him. This was going to drive me crazy, I started pacing, but when I couldn't come up with a reasonable idea that didn't involve finding and killing Forth, I got ready. I was about to put on my shoes when I saw the boots.

They were hiding something, I know...was I over thinking things, and wanting Forth to feel something for me when he didn't? Did he even want me? I had a lot of time to think about things on the way here, fine I was in denial but Forth had barged into my life and I wanted him to stay.

I took the boots hesitantly, thinking for a while before putting them on. This was probably a bad idea, but I wanted to know. They shimmer and fit to my size; I looked at myself but didn't see anything different.

I guess they only worked for Yo, but they actually looked good and were comfortable. She might have been messing around with me. I walked down the stairs; I was going to have words with her when I got back.

"Who...?" P'Lee said in an angry voice.

"P?"

He looked at me surprised, his eyes flashed a second before returning to normal.

"Beam!" P'Lee gasped. "What have you done?"

I looked at his shocked face, what had I done? He pointed to the mirror, I looked curiously at my reflection and let out a good many curses.

"That bloody witch." I yelled. "This was her plan?"

The reflection looking back at me was me but wasn't me at the same time. I had long waist length black locks, a rosy complexion with a slim figure, wearing a shimmering white dress with black embroidery at the bottom and on the arms. I lift the large flowing skirt to look at the boots which are now crystal heeled slippers. When the back of my hand touched them ...

"I have the wrong parts?" I yelled.

I quickly checked and sighed in relief when I still had the right things in the right places, the big chest was just part of the spell and an illusion.
