How To Beat the System

ｈｕｎｔｓｍａｎ

   Winter was still giving out its snow steadily, but the weather today wasn't that bad. In fact, the faes have invited Wisteria and Silky to a special day filled with music and dance. Today was a special day. It has been three months since Winter started and since Wis had arrived.

Septimus and her had gotten even closer. She now gladly accepted his hugs and childish acts. Even his slight possessiveness that the castle servants always see whenever the blonde appears. Silky also wasn't that much frightened anymore, though she didn't like the twins still. They annoyed her, she detested them.

They both had just gotten approval from Delilah and hurriedly got out of the house, instantly meeting up with the small creatures. Though they had looks of mischief in their eyes and flapped their wings even more with excitement.

Wis rose a brow, "What?"

"We decided to move our location farther than this area. I wouldn't want anyone else to listen to us." Wis inwardly snorted. Who else would listen besides Delilah? The house was practically out in the middle of nowhere. But the blonde only gave them a smile and responded, "We'll still be able to return without getting lost, right?"

"Don't worry, we'll go there by magic and return by it. I assure you it's no hassle at all." One giggled. "Shall we go now? The sooner we leave, the better!"

"Okay?" With Wisteria's response, the faes flew to the girls and grabbed onto their hands before telling them that it may be uncomfortable. Silky pursued her lips before glancing at Wis, who also turned to stare at the violet eyed female.

The faes didn't hesitate before muttering a chant under their breaths altogether. Silky snapped her gaze away from the female and somehow felt a bit dizzy, lowering herself to the ground which shook for a few seconds before stopping. Placing her hand on the side of her head and containing a groan, she shook away the slight pain and widened her eyes to the sight of a new area.

Of course it was still in the woods with a lot of snow, but this area hasn't been explored by her and Wis before. This was an uncharted territory for them which only the faes know.

The place was much more spacious and lanterns made out of ice were floating above them, hovering above the tree branches to give the area a more effective glow while snowflakes fell, shimmering as they pass by the gleaming lights.

Already there were more winter fairies fluttering around them, chattering amongst each other while they held very small instruments similar to those form her old world and began to play them. It wasn't very long until they stopped to rush over to the girls, greeting them with small giggles.

Although the place was very lively and enchanting, Wisteria shivered and regretfully didn't bring a cloak like Silky, who hid her appearance underneath the hood. Her only clothes was a white dress with fur trimmings at the end of the skirt and at the shoulders, which actually provided a lot of warmth shockingly. Her fluffy socks were thigh high which was a similar design to the dress and some heeled shoes with fur along the straps. Her blonde hair wasn't put up, so they only cascaded down her shoulders.

Silky's choice of an outfit was... anything warm and pink. She wore nothing but a sheer pink dress with small designs and light colored sandals. Since she had been in the outside world long enough on her own, she adjusted pretty well to the weather, but she kept the red cloak around her wrapped pretty tightly. And along with Wisteria, her hair was much longer without being tied, so the pale locks sometimes hovered in the air or fell to the ground gently like a waterfall.

"Are you liking the place so far? We even prepared a lot of food!" They exclaimed. Silky's movements falters as she rushed around the place, scouring for them. The faes silently chuckled at her antics before gladly leading the Wisp to where they held the food.
