Chapter 17 - Step By Step, Heart To Heart
Fiona
Directing the warriors wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, despite the fact that I wasn't raised nor trained to do so. I know in my heart that this is what I was meant to do, that this is exactly where I was meant to be."Split up. I want a few of you to search the land for clues in case the rest of us don't find anything in the waters. Hopefully Nixie and Beckett weren't taken to the ocean.""Princess, wouldn't it be best if you ...." Trenton tried to slip back into his lead warrior position and interject, but I wasn't having any of it."Colton, Senora, I want you two to lead the warriors searching the land. Clyde, Bach, Lian, Jordan, and Matthew, you guys are all with me. We'll split the warriors into smaller groups, and two of us will lead each group.""Fiona, will you listen ..."I turned and looked Trenton dead in the eyes. He had many chances to prove himself as a valuable team leader, and he didn't once make an attempt to do so. AdBab terkait
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 18 - The Enemy
NixieI couldn't believe that Beckett and I allowed ourselves to get kidnapped, and from our own house none the less. We should have known better, and to say that I was ashamed of ourselves would be an understatement. Now Beckett and I were tied up in a damned cave. Our hands were tightly bound behind us and our bodies were wrapped in heavy rope netting, ensuring that we couldn't escape from the tiny cave we were in. Even if we were to roll off of the rock we were on and into the water, we wouldn't be able to swim, let alone shift. Not with this thick binding rope. It was smart, I'll give them that.I turned my head to look over at my mate who was lying next to me. "Beckett." There was no need to whisper, no one else could hear us, which meant there was no need to yell for help, either.For a moment, I debated simply letting him wake up on his own, but I knew that this conversation couldn't wait until the last minute."Beckett, wake up."I thought that I heard him moan and was thankful
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 19 - The Long Goodbye
LianI waited around just long enough for Jordan and Matthew's dobhar-chú and selkie to show up and gather the worthless fairies that called themselves warriors. I debated killing them while I waited and letting their bodies sink to the bottom of the waters with Bach's, but I knew their time would come.What mattered right now was finding Fiona and making sure she was ok. There's no way that Bach was working alone, and I needed to figure out who else was a traitor before it was too late."Lian!" I heard a familiar female voice and spun around to see Colton and Senora quickly approaching in their kelpie forms."We just got your message, are you ok?"I quickly nodded my head. "I'm fine. But Back? Not so much. Have you guys seen Jordan and Matthew? ""Yeah, Colton and I ran into them on our way looking for Fiona. They had about a dozen warriors with them."I let out a small sigh of relief, happy to hear that the warriors didn't give Jordan and Matthew any trouble. If they continued to com
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 20 - Don't You
LeviMy skin was tacky from nerves as my heart raced after I turned everything upside down and inside out looking for that damned amulet without luck. I took a few shots of whiskey to try to take the edge off, but I might as well have been drinking water.I sat down on my couch with my elbows on my knees, kneading my head with my fingers as if the motion would free the memories that I couldn't seem to find. I continued to retrace the days since I had met Fiona, reliving every moment that I shared with her in my mind, desperately trying to make sense of what Hydra and Landon told me.No matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to fit together the way that it should have. I needed someone to talk to, someone to consult with, to get to help me get to the bottom of it all. I grabbed my phone and brought up Fafnir's number and hit call. This time it only took a couple of rings for him to pick up. "I've been wondering when you'd call me back." His amused laugh made me roll my eyes, but I did
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 21 - Fidelity
SenoraIt had been a few weeks since Nixie's service, when her body became one with the water and we all said our final goodbyes. I wasn't close to her, but she was a kind leader and will be greatly missed by many.I was alone in the kitchen, waiting for another pot of coffee to finish brewing. Fiona was talking with Beckett in her office, while Lian went to go visit her parents for the day. I guess that they were pretty ticked off finding out that she's not only a warrior, but a lead warrior, and kind of came close to being killed. So she decided to go to work on patching things up with them since they've had some time to cool down.The knock on the front door quickly got my attention away from the fact that family acceptance is something that I don't worry about, but as soon as I swung the door open other memories bi.tch slapped me in the face."Colton." His name escaped my mouth in a whisper, and I cursed myself for sounding so feminine and weak. I had done a great job of ignoring h
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 22 - Dé-jà Vu
Cerulean Days turned into months, and months turned into years. Time doesn't mean the same thing to certain supernaturals as it does to humans. To humans, a hundred years seems like forever, when to most of us it's only a fraction of that. Of course, there are different tiers. Deities obviously live the longest, followed by demi-gods, witches and vampires, fairies and elves, then werewolves who live just a little longer than humans. Sharing a body with another soul sure does a number on the K9s life span.I know that Fiona has talked to our sisters since that day, but her and I have yet to discuss what was said between us. Shaylee, Niamph, and Sloane have all told me that Fiona was just extremely emotional after what she had just been through and seeing Nixie get killed by one of her own warriors, but I knew better than that. I know her and I don't fully buy that story one bit. I just don't know what she has going on in that head of hers. So until I can put all of the pieces of her cr
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 23 - Time After Time
FionaLife has been pretty mundane for the most part. It was basically just the same shit only a different day. Wake up, train, work, repeat. The only thing that really made it drag on a little more was having Salila around to correct my behavior. Nothing against her at all, she was actually pretty awesome, but oh how I loathed acting. I had a hard time biting my tongue, and now I had to not only do that but also pretend I wasn't and with a smile on my face.It took a while, but we came up with a very happy middle ground. I still went out and trained with the warriors. I even brought on a few more females to take the place of those who didn't bother to help Lian when she needed it. I understand the hesitation in fighting Clyde, but they didn't even bother to go for help. They didn't deserve the level of trust and clearly couldn't handle the responsibility of being a warrior.It was difficult allowing Beckett to act like he was my guard. I made it clear to everyone that he was the head
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 24 - Three Is Company
SenoraAs soon as I got home from work, Fiona informed me that she wanted Colton, Lian, Trenton, Jordan, Matthew, and I to rotate out doing perimeter sweeps, and asked that I go on next. I really didn't feel like it after working with a few of the younger horses that morning, but it's not like I really had much of a choice. Typically, this was a daily job that was split up amongst the regular warriors, not the lead warriors, so I had no clue what was going on for her to want to change things up to this degree and curiosity was getting to me.I started making my way back towards the house in hopes that I would return in time to get something for dinner before any of the leftovers were gone, when a familiar jet black horse came into my view. "Colton, what the hell are you doing here? Your shift isn't next." I gave him a curious look as he immediately shifted back into his handsome human form that has become simply irresistible to me over the years."It's not like I'm going to have dinner
The Water Fairy's Affair Chapter 25 - Promise Me
FionaBeckett and I were sitting in the living room reading our books in silence, both of us awaiting the arrival of my brother and whomever else he might be bringing with him.The front door quickly flung open as Senora, Colton, and Lian came running in. I tilted my head to the side, confused why the three of them were together."Fiona, your brother and a small group of werewolves are in the woods on their way here."I smiled and nodded at Colton. "Smart on his part for walking instead of simply driving to the house, he probably suspects what's coming."Senora gave me a knowing smile as she put two and two together. "You knew he was coming? Is this why you wanted us doing the perimeter sweeps?"My smile grew. "I did, and it is. I trust you guys to come to me first instead of handling things yourselves. You know how young warriors are, always wanting to prove themselves. I want this for myself." I couldn't help the slightly evil tone that my voice held as I thought about the fun I was
