The Faerie Court

Grace~

I watched Mommy walk back to her room, earilier than she usually did. I wonder what happened. I thought, walking towards the door and walking out into the hallway, towards the dancing area. I'm gonna find out! I smiled, pushing the huge doors open with all my strength. She darted her gaze around the floor, searching for Tristan. Dhe spotted him dancing with the queen and she stumbled over towards him. She grabbed his pants leg, stopping his dance and looked up at him.

Tristan:

I bit my lip and looked down at her. "Not now Grace. I'm busy. Go find Lilith." I was tense. would the queen hurt her for simply being a little girl?

Grace~

Grace cocked her head to the side, her pigtails falling to the side together. "But sister is alseep. She came in and went straight to her room. What happened?" She asked desperately.

Tristan:

"Grace, leave now! Please. I'm busy, go to sleep." And with that I dragged the queen away, dying inside. I wanted to pick the little girl up and kiss her. I wanted to run to her mother and pull her in my arms and tell her I was doing this for her. But I couldn't even do that. I had to sit here and pretend that I loved the Queen above all else.

**That was sad lol**

Grace~

Grace watched him walk away. She growled inwardly and turned around, stalking to the array of cakes. She grabbed a few and carried them back into the hall, sitting down and eating them.

After she was done she wiped off her dress and stalked angrily back into her room, climbing onto the bed next to Lilith and falling asleep.

*sorry! I did post a reply, an uber-good one, but it didn't come up! Sorry guys...*

Faede-

I watched the girl leave. "You know, now that Kitty's grown up, I'd love to have a new changeling."

Tristan paused in the action of kissing my neck. "But don't you have to steal the child from the cradle?"

"Oh, technically. But I mean, if the child is already here, who's to say we can't steal it from the mother? Don't you agree Tristan?"

He didn't reply.

"Why don't we? Help me get that child for my own."

Owen-

"Right," I said, standing up. "Well I guess that's it then. You don't trust me. Okay. I'll see you around Aurora."

There were tears of anger in my eyes. I wiped them away quickly, threw the doors open and went into the ballroom to find Asteria.

Aurora:

I rushed after Owen, grabbed him around the waist and kissed him passionately. "I love you Owen. I don't care if you don't believe me..I had to tell you and..I love you." I cried harder. "I...I'm sorry. i'll leave you alone now." I let him go and turned back into the court yard.

Tristan:

"I...I can't do that." I kissed her passionately, my tongue shooting into her mouth. "Please, your highness. Can't you be satisfied with me?" I asked. I sighed. "Please, Faede." I smiled inwardly. I kissed her passionately, running my hands up and down her back.

*Jamie! You inadvertantly cracked the code!*

Faede-

"Alright then," I murmured, kissing him softly. Then suddenly it struck me, the power. I pushed him away.

"You know my name," I said, horrified.

*a named thing is a tamed thing...*

Owen-

"Oy!" I said to Aurora.

"What now?" she asked, turning around. "You going to string me along even further?"

I grabbed her and kissed her long and deep. "I love you," I said. "I really do."

**Lol, he's still a bit confused though. if she plays her cards right, she can still trick him.**

Tristan:

"Yeah...one of your courtiers told me. But, please leave Grace alone." I kissed her again, hoping to please. I didn't want her hurting Grace or Lilith.

Aurora:

I sighed and pushed myself closer to him. "I love you Owen. I always have."

*she's seriously worried though*

Faede-

I pulled away. "Stop it!" I shrieked. "Who told you?"

"I can't remember," he said, reacing for me again.

"No!" I screamed. "None of them know my name. There's a traitor in our midst."

I grabbed his throat and put my long nails up against it.

"You will never, ever, ever, tell anybody. Understood? Or you wil face certain death. You still might."

Owen-

I breathed out. "Well, I'm glad we sorted that out. Should we go back inside?"

Tristan:

I looked at her worried and confused. "Um...okay. I don't see what the big deal is though."

Aurora:

"Only if I have you to myself!" I chuckled and kissed him passionately.

Faede-

I screamed. "Get away from me!" I cried. "Get away!"

The ballroom had stopped and stared at me.

"All of you!" I screamed. "Leave! Get out of my sight! Or feel my wrath!"

In tears of frustration, I collapsed on the ground, my skirts ballooning around me.

Owen-

I led her in, my arms around her waist. "What's going on here?" I asked. There was an exodus of revellers.

Tristan:

I ran out and up to Lilith's room.

Aurora:

"I don't know. your highness? Are you okay?"

Lilith~

A knock startled Lilith from her sleep. She groaned and sat up, walking to the door. She swung it open, angrily. Trisan stood there, breathing hard. A wave of sadness washed over her, making her throat swell.

"I-" Tristan began but Lilith slammed the door in his face.

"Go away! I don't want to talk to you!" Lilith yelled from the other side, walking away from the door and back towards her bed, falling on it and burrying her face in the pillow. "Just go away," she cried quietly.

Tristan:

"Lilith, please. let me explain! I need to! I must! Please!" I sighed. "I love you! So much! PLEASE let me talk to you."
