I look around to see another door hiding behind a tapestry and start to walk over to it. I look over the railing and see everyone that was on the first floor scattering trying to find me. I go through the door and it leads into some kind of tunnel leading down, I don't really have any other choice so I go down the stairs. It feels like two or three flights of stairs before I reached another door, it looked like it was rusted shut but it opened right away. And it looked like it lead to the garden I saw from my window, secret door that goes from the library to a garden, ok this is pretty cool.
There were two other children and a woman who looked about 6 months pregnant, she was watching the two play when I saw her face. IT WAS THE BEST FRIEND!!! And those are most likely my half siblings, this is bad this can't be much— the little boy saw me, "Who are yow?" He's three and can't pronounce his U's, cute, I don't say anything when his sister joins him. They both had red eyes but the little girl had light pink hair, and the boy and I had the same black hair as me, "yowr eyes are diffewent." Yes toddlers please state the absolute obvious.
Their mother Lilly sees that her twins had run off, "Zoe! Zane! You better be back here by the time I count to three, ONE!" She doesn't even have time to finish before they're both by her feet, I take my chance to escape and slip behind the bushes next to the palace walls. "Where did you two run off to this time?" She says in a sing song type of voice, "To see the little girl! She had thwee diffewent colowed eyes!" The one named Zane said as they both hold up three fingers. I can see a little through the leaves, and to say her face looked horrified would be an understatement, before she can say anything else, those buffoons from the library run outside.
"How could she even get outside?? We had guards by the only exit! I'm telling you she has to be in the library still!!" That would be the, Celestial king I think. From my tiny little peep hole I can see the Yacan king going up to the woman and I guess my half siblings. "Hello children," he gets down on one knee to be at their eye level, "Have you seen a little girl with—" he's cut off by Zoe, "With thwee diffewent colowed eyes?" She says excitedly. He looks over to the direction where the other men were at with a look on his face that says I told you so. I need to get out of here again, or else it's going to be just like the closet.
I look to both sides of me and see a fence to my left, and on my right another wall, I guess I'm going left. I have to be careful because I know that if I make any noise that they will hear, there's just enough space between the wall and bushes for me to fit through. After about 15 minuets I make it the the fence and there is just barely enough room for my tiny self to fit through, being small is good for escaping. I squeeze through and see that I'm near a forest, now I just need to find someone who will help me take this stupid bracelet off!
I run into the forest when I hear footsteps behind me, I don't remember what kind of beasts live here but I'm willing to risk it. I hide behind a large oak tree and see that it was hollow inside. I crawl in and I see these little lights, did I just find a fairy tree?? The lights twinkled and one floated down toward me and it makes this squeaky noise like it's trying to talk. "I can't understand you, I'm sorry." It lands on my wrist and it looks like it's jumping on the bracelet, "Can you take it off?" I'm not sure I should trust them, fairies are known to be little menaces. It shows it's self to me and it's so cute!!! She had long cotton candy pink hair and blue eyes, is this a fairy main character? "Do you want it off?" She says in a cute high pitch voice, "Yes please."
If she can get it off she will probably want to make a contact with me, which means she will be my familiar if I promise to protect her. Normally fairy's will only make contacts with people with strong powers, "Ok, give me a minute and hold up your hand." I do what she says and after a few minutes the bracelet comes off, and I can feel my powers coming back. She laches on to my hand and yells, "MINE BACK OFF!!" I guess I have a new familiar, so this means that she can boost my powers if she can. She flys into my hair and hides there, "Let us go human! Adventure awaits!" You have no idea. I go to see if the coast is clear, but my fairy beats me to it and dims her aura, "Let us go— what is your name human?" She says in her cute high pitched voice, "Elodie, and you are?" I'm still not sure if I should use last names still.
"Skye, nice to meet you Elodie, now, let us go!!" Well she's energetic, I peak my head out just to make sure that it's safe and I hear more voices, "do you know how to get out of here?" I whisper to Skye, she looks around and turns back, "Yes, the capital is not to far and the palace is—" "NO PALACE!" I didn't mean to yell but I'm still afraid that they're going to kill me still, "...so town then?" She says awkwardly, "yes please." And we start walking away from the palace when I realized, I can use my powers again!! I change my hair and eyes to brown and change my face to look plain, Skye looks at me and her jaw dropped.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?!" I probably should have told her I could do that because it isn't a normal power other people just have. "I just can? I don't want them to find me." She looks me over and says, "Were you wearing that dress when you left?" My clothes!! I go through my purse and summon a plain brown dress and shoes, I give Skye a 'don't look' look and she turns away. I quickly get dressed and put the bracelet, dress and shoes in my purse and we keep walking, she leads me to the outskirts of the capital and I see people dressed in very nice gowns and suits, there were a few babies and toddlers also dressed in nice clothing.
I would stick out like a weed here, but then I see a group of children dressed in the same type of clothing as me, so I take the chance and join them. Skye can see what I'm doing and hides in my hair again, I think I know what this is, it's the gathering the Celestial kingdom does. Where they gather all of the orphans that are turning five and try to find family's they can stay with before they leave for the academy. I hope they don't count everyone, I jump in and no one notices me, not even the other children, there's about 12 of them.
They all look a bit plain which is good for me, I don't know where they hold the event but I'm hoping that it's not at the palace, we are still near the edge of the forest when several wolfs jump out and attack one of the guards. He screams and the woman leading the children runs to the gate, she looks behind her making sure that she didn't leave anyone behind. I try to run to her, but before I could one of the wolfs jumps out in front of me and I run straight into it. These are not normal wolfs, they are the size of werwolf's and are 5 feet tall, another runs to me on me left side and latches down on my arm.
In a panic I use fire magic and burn the wolfs fur and wind magic to blow the other into a tree, my arm was bleeding and without thinking about it, I used light magic to heal my arm. I have no idea if my disguise stayed on, there are footsteps behind me and I panic and used nature magic to grow vines to hold whoever is behind me down. And try to take off running, but someone grabs my arm, I don't think, I use wind again to get whoever was holding on to me to let go. I get about 40 feet away before another wolf runs into my side and stands overtop of me, I use dark magic to get it off and ice to freeze it to the ground. I get up and turn around and see that everyone else had gotten inside of the walls and several guards with their swords unsheathed fighting more wolfs. The buffoons from the library are back and they look at me, and then go back to fighting, I guess my disguise is intact.
Before I can run back into the forest, someone picks me up again and teleports us somewhere in the forest. I try to kick and scratch whoever is holding me when they just drop me on the ground. I could see brown hair getting in my face, "I don't know how you did that, but take it off, NOW!" I turn around and it's the Celestial king, I try to act stupid and tilt my head to the side, he bends down and says, "I know it's you Elodie." I don't know what else to do so I try to teleport away when a barrier goes up around us, I'm stuck here now, and the brown hair in my face turns back to jet black.
