Time will never tell

Chapter Six

Suddenly, a whooshing noise was heard, Katie jumped, but Time wasn't at all startled.  As it got more high pitched, Time raised her left hand into mid-air and a letter flew straight into it. She ripped it open and began to quickly read. Katie glanced over her shoulder desperately trying to make sense of what was happening, but as she gazed over at the letter, there was no writing there. Yet Time looked to be getting more and more concerned, Katie was starting to think it was written in invisible ink, so she opened her mouth to speak, but quickly shut it, as Time spoke first "Oh dear," she sighed heavily "What's wrong?" Katie inquired. "We need to find a -" Katie interrupted Time, which in retrospect wasn't the smartest of ideas. "INVISIBILITY DETECTOR!" Time looked very confused "No - obviously not Katie, what are you on about?" Katie blushed at her sudden outburst "Oh... nothing just... continue." she said.  "Right, um okay, so we need a blue moon rose." Katie had no idea what that was, or where it was usually grown. Time appeared to notice her confusion. "It's usually grown in water under rocks or near lakes" She smirked. "Didn't you know?" Katie looked more confused "Well, no because there are no lakes around here, Time." "Well, of course, there is! You just have to know where to look, follow me," Time led Katie back to the cottage but Katie stopped before they entered. "Oh no, no, no! I'm not going in there. Didn't you see that creature?"  Katie protested Time glared at her "No, Don't be silly Katie! There's nothing there."  "WHaaa- Yeah there was that thing with red eyes, Time you saw it you were scared of it!"  She yelled, getting more angry at the girl. "Well, no I wasn't, and I know what you mean but it's not what you think." She shouted back. "It was my father," Time continued "He looks like that to you because you're a mortal, but he doesn't look like that to me." Katie began to speak "Yeah, but why were you scared?" "I wasn't but I was trying to tell you not to be seen by him, he doesn't like mortals, ever since my sister went missing, he never liked your kind," This time Katie's curiosity got the better of her "Was your sister a mortal?" Time looked slightly offended that she would even suggest that her bloodline wasn't all immortal, "Of course not," She replied slightly smugly "She was only a baby, my mommy and daddy were sad when she went, but she will be able to do special things, very special magical things, maybe she'll notice, maybe she won't. Her family, they're not related to her by blood, no, a curse was placed upon her by someone that night, and she was taken into the mortal world." Katie didn't think it would be wise to reply, so they continued looking for the blue moon rose in silence, obviously the subject of her sister upset Time, as her eyes were glassy and full of raw emotion. Katie saw the glimpse of a blue shimmering petal, beautifully glowing in the moonlight upon the side of the water. As she reached over to grab it...
