Eves Of Flora

Chapter Seven

" That was so close. I am so lucky grandma didn't suspect anything. I hope she believes me. "Flora said as she walked down the hallway in a fast pace.

Flora stopped at her track as she heard a very familiar voice calling her from behind. She turned slowly to face her quite annoyed grand mother. Her grandma didn't look too old. She would have looked like a woman in her early eighties if she were human but because of her fairy nature she looked more like a woman in her early thirties. She had white skin that glows in the moonlight, pointed nose, Amber green eyes, a dimple on her left cheek, blonde hair which she always leaves flowing all the way to her bum but decided to adorn it with a flowered crown she made herself. She wore a silver coloured flay dress with flower designs on the hems which she sewed herself.

" Grandma I can explain. I promise. I just went into your room to look for you because you promised me you would teach me how to see a dress and I searched for you for a while and I decided to keep my self busy by reading a book. Then I mistakenly removed a book from its place and a door appeared out of no where. I was curious to find what was behind the door so I went in. I started looking around then I found this book and as I was about to touch it you came in. I know u shouldn't have gone snooping around your stuff and I should have waited for you. I am so sorry and I promise to never do it again. " Flora stopped taking in deep breaths as she didn't realise the speed at which she lied.

"Flora dear, I am not angry with you I just wanted to ask you to get to get you mom do me" Oona said as she embraced her in a hug.

"Does that mean you won't tell mom or dad" Flora asked looking up at her grandma's face to read her countenance.

"No dear, your secret is safe with me. " She said.

"Thanks grandma. I love you. " Flora said as she ran the remaining distance to her room.

" I hope she stays safe and doesn't do anything stupid. " Oona whispered as she watched her only grandchild run.

Flora heard the words clearly because of her fairy hearing and couldn't help but think about what she meant but she brushed it off. She went into her bedroom and locked it.

"Ugh!! Why can't I get it right. It said green sparks after reciting the spell and not red. I have to get it right before tomorrow and clear the path so we could go on our mission. " Flora said as she tried reciting the spell so many times.

"Okay, let me read it again.
    " before reciting clear your mind of all   thoughts and open the door to your heart because only then can the door be opened by the sparks of green."

Flora tried it several times but it still didn't work. "I am getting so tired and hungry. " Flora said as she yawned.

"I am going to her room to see if she is okay because she hasn't come out of her room for a while and it is not like her and I have to tell her to come for dinner." Eileen said .

"Well I hope she is alright. " Andrew said to Eileen.

"Oh no!! It's mom. She can't see all this stuff lying around here. I have to hide them immediately. "Flora thought.

She hid them under her bed and unlocked the door. She grabbed a book about fairies she took from the library earlier and pretended to be reading.

"Hi mom" Flora greeted her mom.

"I see you are busy with the book and I'm guessing you will tell me about it when you are done." Eileen said as she made her way to the edge of the bed and took a sit.
