The Lost City

Gillim scowled at David but made no move to get at him. It really was unfair that the one fairy that wanted to taunt him was the one he couldn't touch. Maybe he could think of some way to get back at him later, take him by surprise...

Then he saw the girl in the chair. That mischievous smile crept into his features as he winked.

Sharonda, who had noticed, scowled at him. "Don't you dare."

"Who are you, my mother?" he grumbled. The nerve; he had to be at least six times older than her anyways.

He smirked at Dylan, who was watching the exchange curiously, and approached the seated girl. "And I'm Gillim. It's wonderful to meet you." He extended his hand.

Sadie

I'd worked it out. Why they were all different; I was pretty sure they were Faeries, it made sense. It was why Tanya has looked worried earlier, she'd said they would come looking for her. It was why they had "different" feeling about them, like they'd come from another world. It was why the 13 year old girl had the look of someone wise beyond her years. The 13 year old girl that was currently walking straight towards me.
"Hi, I'm Sharon."
"Sadie." I replied, shaking her hand.

Ok, that made me pretty sure. Humans did not just walk up to strangers and shake hands.
Another one walked up to me now. The one who had golden eyes with a wierd look in them. A look that very clearly meant trouble.
"And I'm Gillim, it's wonderful to meet you."
I didn't take his hand. I counted myself as pretty sharp and from the way he held his hand (palm down and arm straight - very controlling) I knew it might not be a good idea.

Instead I stepped away and smiled brightly at them all.
"So, what brings you all here?"
"What, to this healing place?"
I laughed.
"I thought faeries were supposed to be clever. No, to the mortal world."
I said this last bit in an overly dramatic whisper, widening my eyes and letting a smile stretch out over my face.
Then I leant back and waited for a response.

*Is this ok? I can change it if it's moving too fast or whatever. Just wasn't sure what to write otherwise.*

Sharonda

Sharonda stared at the mortal in shock. She gulped. "F-Faeries? I don't know what you're talking about." She said with a weak laugh. Then a nurse accidentally knocked Dylan's hat off. Sharonda stiffened as his ears unfolded. Several people stared, and one poor woman fainted. The mortal girl crossed her arms and looked at Sharonda pointedly. Sharonda didn't have much time. She grabbed Dylan and steered him towards the first door she saw. She opened the door and pushed him inside, closing the door behind him. Then she turned to the mortal girl.

I have to do something about her. She thought. She reached for her hypnotic power. "Tell me, how do you know about faeries?"
She already felt her energy leaving her.

TANYA

Tanya growled low in her throat. She could practically feel the power that Sharonda was giving off. Tanya knew what her power was. Tanya also didn't like it that she thought she could just use that power on her human friend.

She narrowed her eyes and cast a defensive spell to stop the exchange. Sharonda looked confused and stepped away.

"Who's protecting you?" She asked, curiously. "Who is it?"

Poor Sadie just looked confused. Or maybe she was faking it. Either way, Tanya knew she was a smart girl, though she wished she had not called them out as faeires.

"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about," Sadie shrugged, true to her though she had given no explination. Tanya smiled a little.

Sharonda narrowed her eyes. Tanya would be ready to leap out at any moment if she caused any trouble, but Sharonda had always been a good girl. Let's just hope she kept it that way.

Gillim snickered, uncaring that his identity as a faery had just been let out. "I told you he looks better with his new ears. See? That poor woman swooned just from his devilishly handsome countenance. No one seemed to be swooning over him before I stretched his ears long like that. It really is for the better."

((Hold on. I thought Tanya was invisible? And, I wont be here until tomorrow evening (English time) so could you just carry me along? Sorry ))

Sharonda

"Maybe we should step outside for some fresh air." Sharonda felt Gillim's hand on her arm. She stiffened slightly. She still didn't trust Gillim, even after what had happened in the alley. "Why?" She asked cautiously.

Lyanna

Lyanna coughed. "Excuse me. I'd like to know why there's four strange people in here, and why you're talking about faeries. I'd also like to know why that guy has rabbit ears." She didn't bother trying to point at him. It would just result in pain, and they probably already knew who she was talking about. Her voice was weak, but she was insistent. The four people who had come in seemed to notice her for the first time. They seemed surprised that there was someone else in the room. She rolled her eyes. Unnoticable as usual I see. She thought.

**Yeah, uh, Tanya's still invisible for the moment. She'll come out of her 'hiding' if she thinks anyone is threatening anyone or so on.

**My mistake. I'll fix my post in a bit.**

Dylan

He turned noticing the girl in the bed for the first time. "Oh..."

Sharonda and Gillim also turned and saw her, David just leaned on the wall facing everyone.

"I've had this condition for awhile," Dylan tried to lie.

"Yeah, and I'm not believing you," she sounded so weak.

"Okay, so I just inherited these about an hour ago," He shrugged. "I can live with it though."

* Sorry it's short. I don't know how everyone is going to react to this.*

Sadie

They were in Lyanna's room now, all talking to her. She seemed to be questioning the rabbit guy.
I pushed past the faeries and stood my Lyanna, she looked pale but a lot better. I winked at her and took her hand.
"How're you feeling? You don't look too bad."
She smiled weakly.
"I've been better."
Narrowing my eyes, I squeezed her hand tighter. My voice was a little rough and shaking.
"It was your parents wasn't it? They beat you up and left you. Shit. You can come and stay at mine if you like, you're not going back there."

Lyanna

Lyanna smiled, but it was forced. "Yes Sadie, they did. Chances are they're going to turn up at the hospital in a couple of days and claim that something else happened, and I'll end up going back to them. And if I tell anyone, they'll make me go somewhere else, probably far away." She sighed. "I just wish I had my real parents." Her voice cracked and she felt tears welling behind her eyes. She wiped them away, though it hurt her arm to move.

Why are you crying about it? That's not going to do any good. You're just going to embarass yourself. There was a lump rising in her throat. She swallowed and forced her emotions under the surface, wrestling them down one by one. She had learned to do this a long time ago, when she had been plagued by bullies and pressure from another set of foster parents she had had. She found that she hid them more and more often as she got older. Now they were almost always hidden away, out of sight from all but skilled body language readers.

(( Alrighty, guys. Sent a mass PM. Think I got everyone in it but PM me if you haven;t recieved it!))

**Got it, Aqua. (;**

"Oh, Lyanna," Tanya breathed, still invisible. She wished so much that she could just appear and comfort the girl.. It brought tears to her eyes that she couldn't. She had to stay invisible until the other faeries left.

"There is still someone protecting this human girl," Sharonda said, crossing her arms. "It's another faerie. I felt her power blocking me."

Tanya swallowed hard. Shewas still invisible but that didn't mean she couldn't be found. Though, no one had the power to reveal her.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sadie crossed her arms.

"Faeries?" Lyanna asked, looking so confused and like she was ready to laugh as if this was a joke.

"I think you do," Sharonda said, ignoring Lyanna. "Someone is blocking me right now and I need to know who is 'protecting' you. Humans aren't supposed to know about faeries."

Sadie crossed her arms. "Even if someone was 'protecting' me what makes you think that I'll even think about telling you?" She asked, laughing.

Sharonda narrowed her eyes and stepped towards Sadie. Tanya reached her hand out a little and gasped, quietly. Still, Sadie held her ground against the faerie.

"I think you will tell me," Sharonda said in that hypnotic voice of hers. Tanya's rage bloomed again.

"That is enough," she growled, coming out now. "Sharonda please leave Sadie alone."

She jumped surprised at Tanya's sudden appearance. Tanya only went to stand beside Sadie.

"Yes. I've finally been found. Right now, I think Lyanna needs an explination and I will give it to her. We'll have time to chat afterwards and I will GREATLY appreciate it if everyone left my friends alone. They may be humans, but they are loyal and good people. Don't use your gifts on them and don't belittle them, please," Tanya said, straightening her back and putting her hands on her hips. The faeries mouths were still open in shock and though she was so tiny, nearly everyone could feel the sheer power coming off of Tanya.

She turned on her heel and looked at Lyanna, her face changing instantly. "You really do need an explination, don't you," she smiled, tenderly. Tanya's silvery-gray eyes softened at her still beaten appearance and she grimaced.

"It's kind of a long story," Tanya sighed, sitting down and finally explaining everything.

Ahh, good. It worked then. I would post but MasterChef is on so laters!
