Another day another night

Chapter One

Midnight.

The time between times.

The age between age.

Magical.

Well at least to me it is. The source of my powers. At least I get a reboot every day, my poor sisters power source is the full moon, but I think she gets more power through full moon than I do a month! I can't actually voice my opinions or thoughts or pretty much use my voice at all. Only in front of my sister and grandmother, not that my grandmother is around much anymore.

Mum left. Bitch ran away with a gypsy. I was only 14 at the time. Funny thing is I don't even hold a grudge! I'm perfectly fine running a fucking household full of Elfinear and sprites while transitioning into an elfinear.

Let me explain a little.

I'm Laura. I was, until 2 days ago, a sprite, a faery under the age of 16, the age of our full powers. I am now an elfinear, an adult faery, albeit still bound by the laws of a child because I'm female. Like come on it's the 21st century and not even faery's have gender equality. It's stupid.

The thing is my father is 2nd in line to the throne, 3rd is my little nephew Joshua. I know, great name for a prince. 4th in line is my oldest twin baby brother. ALL the males in the family, the only female that can become queen is one who is suitably married. Again stupid. And guess who can say is a suitable husband? Why only the king of course, my sexist pig of a great-grandfather.

Possibly another small detail I should mention, elfinear live to a thousand, give or take a few hundred years, my great-grandfather is the oldest elfinear alive. Ever. In the history of faery. This year he is turning 1,450. Great.
