His Dark Fairy

Avilee-  CRASH!! I awoke with a jolt, drenched in sweat. It happened again, for weeks I have been waking like this in the early hours of the morning dripping in sweat and fleeting memories of a strange and exciting dream. All I can ever remember is flying through a mysterious forest, then the strangest sound from above me in the sky, the moonlight disappears,  and everything goes black.  Oftentimes I think I’ve heard a loud thud or a crash, but when I open my eyes and glance around my room everything is untouched. There’s not even the slightest movement from the cool morning breeze. Fall is slowly creeping into the kingdom and summer is quickly coming to an end, but I don’t mind.  I secretly love fall, I’m just drawn to it. Mother says I feel most at peace because of the fall harvest moon and the coincidence with my birthday on all Hallows Eve. As I lay in my bed staring up at the ceiling fluttering my eyes and stretching  I make a mental note to add some fall décor to my bedroom. After a few minutes  I push the fluffy down comforter off my body. A flick of my wrist and a roaring fire ignites in the hearth. I glance at my bedside clock, but I don’t need to look to know it’s around 4am, sure enough the clock reads 4:15am.  I swing my feet off my cozy bed and gently slide them into the most luxurious furry slippers. Just then a cool breeze blows in from my open window and a shiver runs up my spine. I look down and realize I am once again drenched in sweat.  Flora, my personal stylist, will be pissed! This is the third silk nightgown I’ve sweat through this week. Oh well I sigh, and make my way across the room to my private bathroom. Being a part of the royal court and living on our own floor in the castle has some perks. I begin to think about the royal court and how some day soon I will be a much bigger part of it.  I feel my good mood starting to sour and immediately push the thought of being Queen to the back of my mind.    “No outburst this morning, pretty girl,” I quietly whispered to myself, mimicking my mother’s handmade Olivia.   I look in the mirror and admire myself. It’s easy to see why almost every female fairy in the kingdom despises me. Even though I feel like a sweaty mess I am gorgeous. Big almond shaped purple eyes like gemstones, and lashes most girls would kill for. A cute button nose, high cheekbones, sexy supple lips, and big round perky br***ts. My sweaty silk nighty clings to my n***les accentuating my curvy alluring body. If I wasn’t promised to the Prince, Sebastian, I am sure every man in the kingdom would be lining up to court me. Well maybe not I start to pout. Thinking about how cruel the boys were all through school. Teasing me because my powers never settled and neither did my wings. Even Prince Sebastian teased and tormented me. That’s actually one of the biggest reasons I am dreading marrying him in a few short weeks. Well that and he's a total snob. Not to mention a big time player with a wandering eye. Before I knew I was betrothed to Prince Sebastian I used to daydream about what it might be like to marry for love or to find my mate bond, but it's strictly forbidden by fairy code. Sometimes when I am especially down I find myself consumed by these dreams and fantasies despite knowing I am destined to marry a man I despise. He doesn’t care for me one bit, it’s simply a business transaction. Of course as much as I long for love or even lust I have never experienced anything like it. As the future Queen no male fairies were ever allowed to court me let alone be caught with wandering eyes on me. Sebastian feels very strongly about others admiring what is his. However, Sebastian on the other hand was allowed to do as he pleased, experiencing many female fairies while I was left to watch from the sidelines as they threw themselves at him the way bees throw nectar on flowers.    “Chin up, you are destined for big things honey,” I struggle to choke back tears imagining it is Olivia standing here lecturing me.  I wish she could be one of our handmaids still but the King has insisted I start using a Queen’s royal handmaid. They all hate me so much they refuse to serve me though so I've been stuck doing a lot of things for myself. Sometimes I do not mind, but other times it can be a really annoying problem.  I scoop my long black hair into a high ponytail examining the way it falls down the back of my head and brushes past my shoulders. I tap my head and imagine cute purple streaks running through my hair. Instantly they take shape and I evaluate them in the mirror. After a bit of tweaking and toning I decide on a bit of a darker purple for today. I like the way it looks against my inky black hair. I think I am magnificent and lucky because I can tap into all the elements pretty equally. I also have extra gifts, but many of the other fairies think I am a freak because I never settled on one element. I strip down to my birthday suit as Olivia would say, and I bring my wings to the surface in order to  stretch them out wide. They are a magnificent sight. I watch in the mirror as my jet black wings appear. the colors begin to swirl like a milky way turquoise, purple, gold, pink. I have always loved this version. When I was younger I wished they would settle this way, but instead they never settled and I can still control the way they appear so long as my emotions stay in check. I concentrate and try to focus on solid purple wings with streaks of gold sparkles. I want to be sure I am prepared for any flying challenges my dad might throw my way on the training course today. I study them one more time in the mirror and decide I am satisfied with the way they look almost normal. I focus and just as quickly as they appeared they are gone again. I am so glad I can wear them and use them at will. I mean could you imagine trying to fit in the castle elevator, or trying to walk down the street with wings? I snap back to reality admiring my muscles. My legs have never been this toned. It’s probably from the extra run I added to my workout. I am also incredibly tan from spending all summer training and daydreaming in the gardens while sipping tea with countless members of the royal court. I admire the adorable purple butterfly tattoo on my round tight ass. I am pretty sure my mother would murder me herself if she ever found out about it, although on the other had part of me wonders if she already knows and just chooses to ignore it.    “Nice ass,” I say to myself quietly. I quickly shhh myself and giggle. Glancing at the clock I realize it’s almost 5.    I send a mind link to my bestie, Jasmine, “Hey s*xy lady, are we still on for the morning training with my dad?”    “Hell yeah,” I get back instantly, “you know I never miss the chance to beat you with the fastest time on the training course!”  I chuckle to myself as I pull on a cute purple racerback with one of those built in bras. I grab a pair of black booty shorts, I don’t wear underwear with my work out shorts. I hate underwear lines and I didn’t work this hard on my perfect ass to not piss off the other females. One more glance in the mirror then I slip on my socks and cross trainers tossing the nighty in the laundry bin as I walk out of the bathroom. I take a deep breath inhaling the cool crisp air mixed with the smell of burning wood. It definitely smells like fall this morning. I snap my fingers extinguishing my toasty fire, and reach into the mini fridge for a chilled water. I pause to grab an apple out of the fruit basket then carefully tiptoe through the main sitting room and out the front door.    "On my way, you are going down today," I playfully send to Jasmine.  I am suddenly overcome with laughter and I know Jasmine is already in our meeting spot. She's an emote fairy and totally controlling my emotions.    "No fair!" I send in response.  I need to figure out a way to deflect her, but so far I can't find anything in the royal library about deflecting other fairy's magic. I decide to check out the library again soon if I have time. It might be one of the last opportunities I have before I marry Sebastian. I shudder at the thought. Then turn with a smile and wave to Jasmine.
