3. Erin

Finally, after a long walk, Ella and Sheila had reached Everfree meadows. There were people chilling, playing games, running and more. "C'mon," Ella said. "let's chill for a bit, we've walked a long way." The pair sat near a tree to talk and chillax. "So Ella, tell me more about yourself," Sheila said. "you seem like an enjoyable friend." Ella's heart warmed: she didn't have many friends throughout her life, but to be called 'friend' by the Princess of Roselilly felt like an honour! "Ok," replied Ella. "I have 3 siblings, Alex, Victoria or Vicky for short and Frosty. Frosty and my parents disappeared a few years ago with my parents, so me and my other siblings moved from Frostville to here, Rose-"

Before she could say the 'Lilly' part, a fire explosion sounded through the meadows. People screamed and panicked, then ran away, except Ella and Sheila. The girls got curious and decided to check it out." I sense the sound," Sheila said." it came from over there." They then ran over and hid behind some trees. They couldn't believe what they saw next! There was a girl with red hair with blue highlights tied in a bun. She wore a see-through torso with golden sparkles on it. She had an orange skirt, designer heels and the prettiest fire wings Ella and Sheila had ever seen.

The fairy was fighting a giant man, who looked like he was half human half demon. "Time's up! Go back where you came from, fairy!" he boomed. "Never!" the girl shouted. "nobody tells the Princess of Fashionaire to go home!!" "Fashionaire?" Ella whispered to Sheila, puzzled. "what's that?" "Fashionaire is one of the richest, poshest, stylish kingdoms in the magic universe!" Sheila replied. "anyone who's from there is most likely rich or can make millions from one career!" "So we're watching a multi-millionaire fight the next generation of Frankenstein?" Ella asked. "I guess?" Sheila replied. Soon after a second of silence, there was a puff of smoke, and the demon man disappeared. The girl, however, was lying on the floor, her wings disappeared.

Ella and Sheila ran over to her to check if she was ok. Ella checked her pulse. "She's alive," she exclaimed. "I think she fell unconscious." "Poor girl, she must've been hurt," Sheila said. "I know a healing spell that could help her," Sheila touched the girl's forehead, and pink, magenta, and green streams rippled on her. The girl blinked then got up. "Who are you? Where am I??" she blurted out immediately. "oops, pardon my outbursts, darlings. What I mean is who are you two?" Sheila and Ella looked at each other, then up to the girl, who was quite tall.

"Um, my name is Ella," stated Ella. "and this is Sheila, the princess of Roselilly." "You're saying I am talking to the real princess Sheila of Roselilly right now?!" exclaimed the girl. "O.M.G!!!" She got closer towards Sheila then hugged her like an old friend. "you are very known back in Fashionaire! My family dropped me off here to go to the Royal express to get to Crystilville Mansion! We have paintings of the Roselilly monarchs and their gorgeous outfits back at home and you should really vis-" "Did you say, 'Crystilville Mansion'?" Ella asked, interrupting.

"Yes?" the girl replied, still hugging Sheila. "why? Is there a problem or what?" "No," Ella replied. "it's because... Sheila and I are going there too!!" "YAYYYYYY!!!!!!" The girl screamed, letting go of Sheila, but because the girl was tall, Sheila fell over. The girl then started doing random dances. Ella watched her in confusion and Sheila got up, then watched in confusion too. The girl then noticed, then she stopped dancing. "Something wrong, darling?" she asked, in some sorrowful voice. "No," Sheila replied. "it's just, we don't know your name, miss." "Oh yes I forgot, Sheila," she replied. "the name is Erin. Princess Erin of Fashionaire, or just Erin."

"Nice to meet you, Erin," Ella said. "It's getting late, maybe we should go stay at the Peacock's Feather, the inn next to the Royal Express," suggested Erin. "many girls going to Crystilville are staying there tonight." "What a good idea," replied Sheila. "we might make a friend or two there!" So the three friends picked up their luggage and vanished down the path to the Inn. Who knows who'll they'll meet next...
