Tis another day in this God forsaken palace.
Thought the princess,she wasn't the happiest person out in this world,but she would never be happy.It was like the cloud of depression always lingered with,and near her.She feared that because she was the youngest of her family that she will grow old,and die alone.This is probably the source of depression,or most of it.Other than this sad fact her life could have lead up to have been normal.....could have.Her mother,the queen,just as many other fairy tales,was a mean old hag.She was beautiful,yes her kingdom gave her that but behind those cloths and fake spirit,she was so full of hate and anger.Just her glare alone spit that into your face.No one knows why,no one knows how but they all knew who they took it out on.The look of defeat and pain would cry alone in the princess's eyes.
It was just those 2 in the castle,and a whole load of servants and other random people just to fill the empty space.
Tracy's other family either moved out or passed on.
*peers out window looking into the empty landscape*
"Oh how i wish i could join you father," she whispered as tears welled up in her eyes.
She often dwelled upon the thought of leaving the castle... but then she would have no place to go.
Plus lack of outdoor smarts she would die of starvation,but in her mind this was counted for as a positive problem,not so much as a problem but a solution to all that she has in life.
Her eyes searched the black starry sky for something,something that she could not recall but perhaps maybe.... an answer.
Seeing but a single star in the sky,she stared at it so intently that it felt that her eyes were about to pop out of her head.She thought she was doing this for some reason but couldn't think of it .. like it called to her.She blinked and looked out again to wish to find that same star but to find herself gasping and scrambling to get off the floor.Shock and awed she ran to her bed and starred in wonder at the thing that approached her window.
Tracy eyed the visitor for a moment,but completely jumped back at her bed once it tried to move toward her.She gathered her thoughts and looked back out into the sky........ the star was gone...
"impossible" she found her self saying in between gasps for air.
Indeed that thing .. was a star.. that star that had called to her
but ... it did not look like the tiny infant star she was gazing upon..... Yes,this star was getting bigger .. and changing shape!!
This star was transforming into a human!!
Finding herself in the process of passing out,but the unknown.... guy.. caught her as she was about to fall.
This startled her even more and found herself about to scream.
he closed his hand over her mouth and said"shh! not a word okay?!"
But as gently and soothing as possible.his voice was so velvety so relaxing to listen to,his eyes gave off that twinkle it would give off if he were in star form
his skin was pale,his cloths were a mess of robes
but these robes looked like they were to be made of the richest material and the finest thread. delicate silver and a fairly light baby blue enhanced with navy.his hair was jet black,a hint of silver in there as well.it was about mid length.he was fit(and fine as she thought)
he wasn't a muscle man,but he was strong enough to support her weight and that was all that mattered to her.
As soon as she looked into his eyes it was almost and immediate crush that broke out upon her..... she felt that for once in her life... she was in love.Her skin was a nice dead white.she liked it this way,she was thin,but not so thin as to be called anorexic.her hair fell upon her shoulders in a mass of beautiful curls and highlights of blond,blue and a hint of red.
her dress a silky black with red stitched in under the dress and peeked out at her ankles,with a small black lace joining it.It seemed as if she grabbed part of her dress,pulled it up and sewed it there.... but no matter what it was beautiful.she could not find a tailor to fit her needs so.. she spends her lonely days making her own out fits and indeed ...this was an original.. pricless....it was hers.
she managed to get her breathing under control and asked quite shakily,
"who are you....?why did you come here... and how?"
her blue eyes met his once more and he said
"I am Demitri Phillips,and i called you... i know you fear me right now but i mean no harm.I needed you to just look out that window to see me.I have known you my whole life.... well it seems like that any ways.I need your help,just as much as you need mine.and how i came here..
your guess is just as good as mine... you were supposed to go up there"
as he pointed to the spot where he had once been.
Tracy found it hard to believe,but she witnessed it herself so ... she had to believe it.
demitri found her shaking her head side to side,like she was refusing to believe it.
" come on you have to believe me" he said with a bit of despair in his voice
"no no its not that"
"then what is it?"
"...... i have no clue"
"are you sure you believe me?"
"well of course i witnessed the whole thing how could i not believe it?!"
"good point.well if i may ask what is your name,so i can address you properly"
"well so much for the 'Ive known you for my whole life' bit" she scoffed,"well any who my name is Tracy Donahue,Princess Tracy Donahue.
"well princess Tracy Donahue,are you ready?
"what?"
"escape this place Tracy!!you know as well as i do that you have wanted to get out of this place for the longest time,escape your mother,live a life of freedom! for once you could be able to experience true happiness!!"
"well demitri,what makes you think i need your help?! hmm! I'm young women i can fend for myself,I'm not some dainty princess that depends on prince charming to come and save me!!" she said with great protest.
and Demitri as smooth and charming as ever still manages his reply as calmly as before
"Tracy please,i never said any of those things,now you are shoving things in my mouth.will you please tone down your voice before some one hears us and i get caught!i never said you needed me .. but i need you.You are capable of great things Tracy i promise you.there is more to you than you know.but just come with me and ill show you..please."
a tear single tear welled up in her eye.
she choked it down enough for her to say what she needed to say next.
"... how do i know this isn't some trap demitri?.. my mother have me killed.weather the rest of the kingdom knows it or not i will not believe that lie that my father was killed in that dragon collision."
she turned her back to the confused stranger and looked out the window.
a flood of tears showered upon her cheeks but her voice didn't crack a bit,and as softly as she talked before she said,"you know,my father was the only one who cared for me in this place.... my brothers and sisters were out and gone before i was even born but at at age 7... for me to loose the closest person i have ever had.....it was to much and i hate her for it .. she killed him.and how ever she did it she made it painful and brutal cause they wouldn't even open the casket at the wake."
she turned around quickly with a determined look in her eye.
"and ill be damned if I'm going to let her do that to me,weather the guards waiters, waitress's or anyone cares or not i will fight to my own death to keep me from getting myself buried alive .. or poisoned .. or-"
the next thing that happened demitri was unaware of,Tracy completely fell to the floor and broke down
tears fell to the floor like a little child with a bucket of marbles,soft whimpering cries where barely heard,demitri was shocked...and a little heart broken,he had no idea what she was talking about,not anything of her father anyway,and he felt a great deal of her sadness..... but the thought of Tracy thinking he would kill her was completely insane.all he wanted to do was help her escape this place and get away...
he bent down to the floor, picked her up and set her on the bed.she wasn't protesting,but yet demitri had no idea what to do....he gently lifted her up and put her to bed,uncertain what the next day would hold... her cry was as soft as a mid summers breeze,her tears rolled off her cheeks slowly but repeatedly.Tracy leaned in on demetri and cried softly into his shoulder.Demitri of course ,didn't mind this.... some how deep in his mind he encouraged this.anything to gain her trust.
he hugged her gently and cooed her,telling her everything was going to be alright and that he wasn't to let a hair on her head be touched by her evil brute of a mother,and no monster.after about a half hour of this Tracy grew tired.Demitri realized this as the tears came to a subtle stop and the cries faded away.
he gently lifted her up and put her to bed,uncertain what the next day would hold... a wave of fear came over him....not sure how long he'd been there....he looked out the window real fast.dawn was approaching and he looked at Tracy one last time, he almost hated to leave her....he looked at her one last time,making a memory of her imprinted in his mind. and to what demitri thought... she was the most beautiful girl he ever set eyes one .... and a spark of excitement burst inside him....waiting to see her again would be agonizing .... but if he didn't leave he would put them both in danger.So his mind was set and he left,but before he did so he brushed a small gentle kiss upon her cheek. and then he climbed upon the windowsill looked back at her and then onto the sky. he dived into the open air,one would think a guy would plummet to his death but no,demitri being one of the stars was sucked back up to the sky and became a star once more.
morning came and gone for Tracy,she was awakened by the afternoon sun shinning into her room.she got up in a hurried panic and she frantically searched the room remembering what had happened that night..... or was it a dream? she thought to herself,cause these events that she was remembering could easily and clearly be pushed away as a dream. in mid thought she looked at her vanity.... a small note.Her delicate hands picked it up and unfolded it
inside it said:
Tracy,i know what you have seen last night seemed like a dream,please don't excuse it as such.last night when you collapsed and eventually fell asleep,i had no choice but to leave in order to keep you from getting into any danger. i wish to be back tonight,all you have to do is look out the window and find me and i will be there okay?
Sir Demitri Phillips
P.S if you wish to come with me please be ready with all your things,and you must make no trace that you are leaving other wise you might be tracked down and we'll get caught.
"since when did you start calling yourself sir demitri?" was the first thing she said giggling to herself.she heard the the board in front of her door creek and immediately she shoved the note in her bra.and the door swung open with almost seconds after with a suspicious maid in the door way.
"yes ma'am?"
"well now madam Tracy a little late to be arising from bed don't you think?"
"sorry miss Lillian,i had a restless night and i couldn't fall asleep"
Tracy said with ease.
"well get yourself washed up and attend to lunch now,go on get."
"yes miss,but i am eighteen,there is no need for you to be treating me as a child now."
"well ms.Donahue i will treat you like one if you keep acting as such now go on and get some clean cloths on and get to the dinning room for lunch now!"
Tracy felt to tired for arguing so she just did as told and went to the bathroom to wash up and get some new cloths on just to please the nit-picking maid.
some of the help around the castle was nasty and some were very nice,she enjoyed them but as for the nasty ones she couldn't despiece any more.now she was wearing a full length dress,blood red for a base color,and a nice black detailed roses nestled neatly up by the collar bone and nice lace over the bottom half of the dress.Red an black made up most of Tracy's wardrobe,these were her favorite colors and she loved to wear them.Plus she could really pull it all together.
it was almost 2:00,practically late afternoon,her normal routine would to eat lunch,make small talk with the help and then drag herself up to her room at 5.so she figured she'd carry on as normal not attracting any attention to herself.this way it'd be best.Lunch was wonderful,as always, we had the finest roast beef with a side of fine wine and for dessert a nice creme brulee.bliss to her stomach..... but this would be bliss to anyone's really.now it was 3:30.... oh how the time drags on,she thought.Next she was to make small talk with her maids and waitress's,this was surprisingly easy and it kept the time going.she talked to miss and Mr Andrews,what a lovely couple.they talked about passed heirlooms and stories behind family loved items and how many generations its been in.although she really wouldn't know cause her family never had any of those.but this get her to 4:30..... another half hour till she was up at her room again.
this she spent wondering the castle and the corridors.it was remarkable at what she lived in and how little she appreciated it,not that she was a brat but just because of the simple fact she didn't want it.the place was amazing though,the floors made of solid marble the beams had chandeliers with many crystals and diamonds hanging about them with lovely candle light.with the original gigantic doors that lower into a drawbridge.the delicate flower vases placed here and there portraits of the family,the older kids,emerald,Edmond and heather with my mother and father.but none of her.she felt so unwanted there..... but all that unwant came form one person... her mother. and pictures of the family cat,Maxwell ... he was treated better than her,it was a shame but she had to live with it.walking the castle's halls with the slow ,click click,on the floor from her heels.she stared in awe at many of the sights in her great home,but became deeply depressed when she knew that she would never become one of the loved family that lived in it.to her surprise it was 6:17 when she came upon the great grandfather clock,so she hurried herself up the stairs and the many floors that were between her and her room.when she finally reached her room she opened the door and flopped down on her bed out of breath.
"just because its a castle doesn't mean that it can have any elevators" she huffed to herself.and then she fell into a brief nap.
Tracy woke up refreshed and ready her clock said 9:30.... and she thought this was late enough for the stars to be out and for every one to be in bed,shocker no one got me up for dinner she thought.but she wasn't hungry anyways.
she looked at her window.... it was locked....
Tracy got into a small panic and searched her room furiously for something that could pick a lock.
"aha!!" she exclaimed quietly to herself,"miss Lilian wont get me that fast nor easily"
as she took out a golden hair pin that she ad found underneath the bed.
she fumbled with the lock for a bit and then it broke.
she gave a small whimper
and she looked at her nails,she heard those could sometimes do the trick,but hers were bitten down to the nub.she was about to give up but she looked into the cloudless sky anyway.and there she found him.. demitri.... she gazed in wonder and blinked there he was.. at her windowsill.. but on the outside.he looked confused as well.
Tracy tried to mouth to him that she couldn't open the window.
he understood ad then he did something amazing that not even i expected.
demitri pressed his hands against the smooth spotless glass window and he concentrated,really hard by the look of his face.And then before Tracy knew it he phased through the window!!
Tracy grew tired off always acting so shocked,so she learned to expect the unexpected..... but she still was amazed.
"Good evening miss Donahue" demitri said with a half smirk half smile.
"its not enough that your a star but you have to phase through objects now?she giggled "and since when did you call yourself Sir Demitri?"
she laughed some more.
"Well,your royalty.....and I'm nothing more than a star..so i thought that would be more proper...heh heh it doesn't sound stupid does it?"
"Nothing more than a star?!?!?! I would love to be in your shoes,and royalty doesn't even cut it,I'm not wanted here.I'm treated like every one else in this place... so really i should be acting more proper to you...Sir Demitri"
now demitri is laughing at himself,his laugh could be heard all day by many if they had the chance to request it,it was as if Demitri Phillips was the most perfect person in this world.And Tracy loved it,she secretly loved everything about him.She was beginning to think to herself that she went crazy last night thinking that he was set out to kill her.But still this could be some trap so she never let down her guard.
"well it looks like were both each others fool now aren't we?" he said with his hazel eyes twinkling once more."and i told you,there is more to you than you realize at this moment,you just need to discover yourself"
Tracy then eyed herself in her vanity,up and down several times."Well i think you have the wrong Donahue then because I'm no more than a regular person,not some one a great as you"
Demitri sighed.Then he looked into Tracy's beautiful blue eyes."You know,there in your eyes i swear i can see it,I'm not mistaken,you are the one that is crying for help inside,I'm willing to give it to you,it is indeed you that I'm looking for.No one else could have possibly brought me down here...only you.Tracy,are you ready to come with me?"
"Ready to go where?" she asked confused.
"with me,out there" he pointed out the window.
"well if ms.Lillian locked the window,demitri,she knows I'm going some where.She has probably told all the guards,keepers,maids everyone!to keep an eye on me.she probably heard us last night.... now what are we going to do about that?"
"oh Tracy" he said in a weary almost pitied voice.
"didn't i tell you to act normal and attract no attention to yourself?"
"i did!i acted completely normal did everything as normal,but when she burst into my room this afternoon she eyed me suspiciously and then she knew something was up.I didn't do a thing!it was last night we were to loud!" she said her voice rising up in anger.
"Ssshhh!!Do you want the to know more about our escape?! please be quiet,i never said it was your fault and if you did carry on as normal today then i suspect it was last night as well."
"okay thank you,i just don't liked to have things pinned and blamed on me,so what are we going to do about this?"
"hmm suppose i could make... another ghostly version of you.."
"what?! that sounds completely insane!!" she yelled in the highest whisper she could.
"Well you see,it would be the same you.... only its not the real you.It would be a ghost.This shall fool them temporarily,if they ignore you as much as you say they do then i doubt the will notice."
"Okay,this sounds reasonable...... but how are you able to do this stuff?!And how long will it fool them?"
"well,i am a star sorcerer,i can do many things.. magic but real magic.
and i have no idea,most ghost replicas usually last a day or two before getting tired of living that life and disappear into thin air."
"i will never stop being amazed will i?so this.. replica.. wont disappear in front of everyone's eyes will it?"
"well this is hard to tell,i have never tried giving one a direct order yet.... but its worth a try isn't it?"
"well i hope this works.... otherwise we'll get caught and who knows what'll happen to us."
"well first questions first,are you ready?.. have all your things packed..i hope you packed light though"
this had completely slipped Tracy's mind,she had no idea what to pack for an escape... all she had were gowns.. I'm sure she couldn't most fast in them .. but the dress she wore yesterday..that was the one she had most control over and she was able to move normal pace in it.
"I'm so sorry this completly slipped my mind demitri,but i can most certainly pack light... all i have are gowns though,so i can only pack the one i can move around in best..and for shoes the only real fitting ones are my ballet slippers... they are not durable though...what am i going to do about this?"
"well i could probably poof up some cloths for you but i will need all my power for the trip so do the best you can and i could help you here and there."
"okay,i can do this,you make my ghost and i will pack."
"okay hurry up though i plan to leave at 11 pm... its already 10:00.....we have an hour before we head out"
"okay"
Tracy slipped out of the room as quietly as possible and tip-toed down the corridor and into the laundry room.she searched frantically through her pile of washed cloths for the dress she had been wearing yesterday.she felt the silky black texture of the outer dress ad she pulled it up.It smelled lilac fresh and it was clean,but tracy had a feeling it wouldnt be for long once she set foot out the door.
Just then tracy dropped her dress and looke up in horrer... if she left out the door demitri and herself would most certainly be caught.... she couldnt risk this.she found 5 pairs of ballet shoes and another few gowns that here about knee hight.these she could run around in and they would keep her warm.she rememberd that she had to pack light.. so she got hherself a couple extra bras and underwear and head upstairs just as quietly as she came down.She slipped passed a few opening doors surprisingly she made it up to her room uncaught and not out of breath.She shut the door gently and found demitri on her bed,talking to .... her.Well Tracy's ghost anyways,he was telling her to stay for at least 2 days and when she is ready to disapear she has to do it in the confinment of her room.Tracy didnt want to interupt but she saw her ghost noded in a yes motion. and she dissapeard.then Demitri stood up and welcomed her,the real tracy,back.
"well tracy,i sent your ghost into hiding until 12 am.She is then to come back and sleep in the bed and act as normal as you as possible and stay for at least 2 days.Now are you ready? weve got about half an hour."
"okay,it looks like you have the ghost all undercontrol,but i have a few problems. number one how are we supposed to leave? if we take the fron entrance we are sure to make the loudest noise ever and if we take the window... we cant.mine is locked and i cant phase through them.even if i could i can fly! that is almost a hundred foot drop!and i dont have a duffle bag to pack my cloths in" she said,now growing out of breath.
"Well those are 2 problems that i can both handle,the first one is simple,you just simply hold on to me and you can do anything i can do,phase through walls,walk on water,fly practically anything. but it involves more of my energy and i have to really make it last so we can only do this a few times.Okay?and ill just stuff them in with my cloths... no biggie."
"you always have an answer for everything dont you?" Tracy laughed.
"I can if you want me too"Demitri said half grinning.
Demitri stuffed Tracy's cloths into his bag and they both stood amung the windowsill.hand in hand they both looked at eachother.
Tract's black curls still dancing around her shoulders and on her back.A hint of worry gleamed in her eyes as if she thought she underestimated Demitri's power and she were to go falling to her death. But she blinked it off and she gave a faint smile.Demitri's hair flailing all around his face from the wind blowing on him with that hint of silver always in sight,his look was strong and his eyes and facial expression held no discouragment as he whispered, "are you ready Tracy?"he gave her hand e reasuring squeeze and she gave a slight nod.they both looked at the ground far beneath them...a shiver went up Tracy's spine and they jumped.
none of the spoke nor squeled a word,but Tracy found herself screaming her lungs off in her mind.Butterfly's were fluttering everywhere in her stomach.and she managed to catch a glimpse of Demitri,he was as calm as ever eyes set on the ground,he must have been concentrating and she dare not break it for her life was in his hands at this state.The wind howled in both of there ears and was as loud as ever,i am surprised they heard themselves think.....well tracy couldnt but she was sure Demitri could.She couldnt stand the silence any longer the ground was nearing and they were still falling and picking up speed."Demitri what are you doing i thought we were supposed to be flying not falling!!!"Tracy cried desperatly for she thought her life was coming to an end.seconds passed and Demitri finally spoke.
"You will see,we will come to an abrupt stop but we wont crash to the ground at full force,just keep holding my hand and you wiill be alright.
I promise."
Tracy managed to cough out an okay for an answer,her body was shaking all over and she was scared to death.Demitri wasnt clueless as he seen her hand was shaking and he held it tighter and the ground neared and they stopped.Heads jerked forward and they suffered a slight whiplash and they stood in mid air for a second and then fell the few feet the had left.Tracy how ever would not get up,she was petrified with fear.Demitri offered a hand to help her get up but she wouldnt take it.this confused Demitri,he looked all around and he saw guards coming..... not slowly they were charging.Demitri grew scared himself and grabbed tracy's hand and snapped his fingers.They were invisable.... momentarily.
Demitri had to get Tracy up so they could get moving.He had no choice but to dump a small cup of water in her face.He laughed,she didnt,she was pissed off momentarily until he saw that she had awakend then he draged her away and they were running from the spot where they landed,Tracy was right up with Demitri,the were running quietly but faster than they had both ever run before,she had no idea why they were running but now wasnt the time to ask,she slipped and tripped a couple of times but she didnt fall,although it did slow them down a bit.The grass was a lush bright green in the daylight but in the moonlight it looked all the more better.a dark vivid green covered with dew,this was the cause of tracy's slipping she thought,and the way the moonlight hit it,it looked wonderful.The direction Demitri was taking them looked to be headed for the forest,and at the rate they were going they were about to get there in 5 mins,and then she would have to ask a load of questions... and she was starting to get hungry... she had not a clue on how to get food in the out doors,she looked back they castle she grew up infor 18 years was being left behind,and at that thought,for 18 years shes lived there,she was never to step foot outside.and now that she was,she took in every sight,smell,taste and feeling.the things she heard were quiet,peaceful and so full of bliss,unlike the castle things were always quieter and more peacful outside.The crisp midnight air nipped at her nose but she didnt mind.everything did seem better on the other side of that wall,instead of being trapped in that room she was in the outer world,never ending.There would be new discoveries to be made,new friends to meet, and new better days to come by.she could be a whole new person in a matter of days...... if they didnt get caught,which was a great fear for Tracy,if she were to get caught....she would be put to death,no doubt about it.And now knowing what she was missing.... she couldnt stand the thought.they were now at least a mile and a hakf away,neither one of them tlkaed the whole way there,their goal was to get to the forest ASAP.they were now entering ther forest,which was a good thing cause neither one of them could run any longer.out of breath and still out of words the colllapsed on a pile of leaves.
huffing and puffing they both lied there for a while.
"why were we running?and why so fast?" Tracy strained herself to ask.
"those guards,they were coming at us.They wernt so slow about it either,i had to snap you out of your shock.so i dumped a cup of water on you,sorry about that,then i snapped my fingers and put us under a temporary invisable spell.This wouldnt last for long so we really had to hall a**.You were right not to talk when we were running,the gaurds would have heard us and that would have been the end of us."
"good idea,but i really wish you hadnt splashed me with tha water,and i think i need my sleep,we need to venture farther into the forest and make a camp of some sort" Tracy said gaining back her breath."Indeed we shall make camp but im afraid we will have to be walking for sometime intothe forest before we make camp and go to bed.
and they set off into the forest being carefull of were they stepped and how loud they were.The trees were ever so beautiful vines spirald up the trees trunk with tiny leave sprouting here and there.beautiful miniature roses budded from the vine as well.the grass was thinner here and it was a lighter green.the shades were plentiful though.
farther into the forest we went,sticks cracked and snapped birds chirped and sang,crickets playing there midnight tunes.little animal eyes were watching them throught the bushes and leaves.Demitri stopped and he looked at Tracy,"you think were in far enough?weve been walking for about half an hour"
"well the guards can just as easily wander in here and find us though!we need to find some where safer...."
Tracy looked up into the trees, and Demitri followed her eyes.
"you mean up there?" Demitri asked in question.
"can we make it up there?"
"i could make us a vine latter....... would this work?"
"sure, but will we fall out?"
" that would be improbable,but it could happen dont worry about it though,i wont let you fall"
"these trees are huge though!! if one of us were to fall it would cause great harm,if not be deadly!"
"Tracy,i promise i wont let either one of us fall okay?"
"you make alot of promises dont you?"tracy scoffed.
"and i keep all of them too" and at that moment a latter of vines appeared,"tracy you first"
"fine" she climbed the first five steps and then demitri joined her.
they climbed for about 5 or so minutes before reaching the top,to there surprise it was a nice,flat and spacey up there and it would make for a good shelterthe branches and leaves covered there heads from everything up above them.Demitri was pulling out what looked to be a huge pillow and a thin blanket.Could tracy trust a night alone sleeping next to a stranger?not a stranger anymore they were friends,or so she thought,and it seemd like she knew demitri for the longest time.so she thought she would trust him for tonight and see what the night held for them.Demitri placed the pillow up against a branch and he layed down and spread the blanket over him.
"well arnt you going to save any blanket for me?" she laughed
Demitri laughed at this too "well,are you going to lay down or what?"
Tracy layed down next to Demitri and she could have sworn that she felt a spike of excitment arouse in her when she was lying down.to her surprise the pillow was soft and the blanket was warm.Demitri playfully tugged at one of her beautiful spirald curls and said "ill see you in the morning tracy"
tracy gigled and blushed,but she was turned away from Demitri so he would not see."see you in the morning demitri"
and simutaniously they goth said good night to eachother.and tha night on both of there faces they wore a faint smile.
Demitri woke up suddenly,and frightened for all of a few seconds,as his vision cleared,he seen a little star.No more than the size of his hand,perhaps slightly bigger.Caught off gaurd by his visitor he asked,"Impy?! what are you doing here?!you are supposed be up there watching out for us!"
"Would you be quiet D?!Your going to wake up your girl!" the infant star said in a cute,little whisper."Who,Tracy?Shes not my girl.You know who she is!"
"quiet fathead!you going to wake her up"
Tracy moving uncomforably around reacting to the fighting Impy and Demitri started."Since when do you call me fathead?" Demitri asked in a rather puzzled tone."I started calling you fahthead when you started picking out these crappy places to hide!"
"What do you mean?!Some one is searching for Tracy?"
"Why else would i bring the subject up?Duh,yeah some one is coming for her,the Whole castle is practically up and about for her.This maid searched her room.The 'Ghost' yoou sent out bailed on you!I told you those things were crap!!and they have complete minds of there own,not there owners.The closest of the gaurds are about .. oh i dont know maybe about 10 minutes away!!"
"Crap!we have to get her out of here!"
"Well no duh sherlock"
"Are they searching the trees and everything?"
"Yup"
"Damn,i have to get Tracy up before anything else happens"
Demitri snapped his fingers and the pillow and blanket were gone.
Tracy's head hitting the bark of the tree with a thud immeadiatly woke up."what the?!" rubbing her eyes she saw demitri up and in a panic,and a ....star?a baby star at that."Well gee thanks for getting me up to meet your friend,whats wrong?You look paniced."
Demitri just grabed at her hand and leaped for the earth down below.
Tracy basically fell down,but he caught her....but id didnt please her.
"Hey fathead!You dont treat a lovley lady as such like that!!"
"Hush up Impy!!we have to get going"
"You star friend has a good point!Now can some one please tell me why we are running?"
"Tracy we need to be quiet.The Ghost I sent out to cover you bailed on us,and now all of the castle is out looking for you,we need to go.. fast!"
"I thought you said the ghost worked!!!!"
"Did i mention that it has a tendancy to live and not care less..?"
"No i beleive you left out the little bit of info!Way to go!"
"Hey dont blame it on me... nows not the time for that!"
"Why dont you both stop yelling at eachother and focus on where your running!"
"Wow this Impy dude has some great ideas" tracy said sarcastically while rolling her eyes."Excuse me miss I don't think we introduced our selves properly, Im Impy Berlin,and you are?"
"Tracy Donahue" she said with a smirk,eyes set up on what was ahead.
Impy not paying attention yammered on,"Oh what a pleasure it is to meet you,i cant beleive that Im actually tal-"
THUD
and down Impy went,smack dab right into a branch hanging over head,this gave Tracy and Demitri a great laugh,and poor Impy .. a great bruise.
Now they were deep into the forest,"Impy,go see where the closest gaurds are."
"Annd?"
"Please,thank you"
"So Im off,Ill be back in a jiffe,you guys stay here and take a rest"
"im sure Demitri and I can manage that"
"Yes we can,now go check!"
and with that Impy left, and Tracy and Demitri were resting.
"How do you know tha little guy Demitri?"
"Oh he's an old pal of mine... hes got quite a mouth on him though,but once you know him hes a really good star"
"Oh then i guess i have a ways to go yet dont I" said Tracy finding a tree stump and sitting on it."Could you scoot over a little,my legs feel ike they are about to give way"
"sure"she replied scooting over to the left.
"Well he does have a point you know."
"About what?"
"That you should treat me a little better than you do,i mean as much as i love being with you.... i dont really love the part where you pick me up or throw me around like some ragdoll"
"Im sorry, you have to know I that dont mean it, we are always in a hurry and so...it just happens..."
"well the next time 'it just happens' please be a lttle more carfull okay.I dont have the best bone strength.. and at this rate i will be in a full body cast."
"Im sorry"
"Its fine"
"How bad did i hurt you?"
"Well from when i fell out of the tree,my wrist hit a branch and I feel like its sprained pretty bad"
"Would it feel better if I kissed it?
"Demitri"Tracy laughed "I dont think now is the best time to bust a move"
"I'm not,I am serious" Demitri said with a smile begining to show on his face.
"Well i think the question is will it make YOU feel better?"
"The answer to that question is yes,may I"
Tracy holding out her wrist looking the other way said "yes you may"
and Demitri taking her hand in his gently kissed her wrist.
Tracy then looked at him in amazement.
"what did you do?"
"Does it feel better?"
"My wrist feels great!.....you have very healing lips"
Tracy then blushed at what she said.
"Well thank you."he said grinning like he was satisfied with her responce,which in fact he was.
"Well with all that said and done would you guys like to hear the news?"said Impy coming out from behind a tree.
"Well depends is it good or bad news... i dont think Tracy and I are in the mood for more running"
"Well bad news is,i heard the queen,her mother,say that they should all just get back to the castle and she will send some others in the morning to get her.And that she will get her revenge,and that it will be fun...sounds cold to me.. and she said that she will get the Trackers to find her if she really needs to....what are those?"
Tracy's face was stricken with pain and horrer as her hand lifted to cover her mouth.
"Tracy,Whats wrong?!"
Her voice was bearly audible,mostly cause she couldnt speak,like all the wind and words were stolen from her.
"Those.. things,the trackers,those are known to be deadly things...like little darts with poisnous needles at the end,you place an object that belongs to the person your looking for on it... it takes in the DNA and it searches until it finds you..and then with a p***k in the neck... your almost promised death.... or most terrible injury ..."
as those words spilled out of her mouth.all of there mouths went dry.
Demitri knew he couldnt let this happen to Tracy,the moment he set eyes on her,he knew it was pratically true love.Now weather ahew felt the same he didnt know but he still wanted to protect her with his life.
His hand reached over and held Tracy's hand."Remember when i told you that i wouldnt let anything happen to you..?I made a promise..and i dont break my promises." Tracy gave him a weak smile,and Impy gently sat upon her shoulders."C'mon Tracy,cheer up it will be okay,"squeeked Impy,his little star arms giving her a tiny hug ... on the cheek.The hug was meant for her but him being so small he hugged her cheek.This made Tracy laugh,this little guy was so cute she couldnt help but pick him up and draw him close to her heart giving him a returning hug."Aww what?No hugs for me?!"Demitri whined sounding rather disapointed.
"Well then get over here" Tracy giggled
and so he did and they were all hugging,it was a pleasent moment.
then they heard somthing.It sounded like a distant crack..they heard it again..this time closer.They all stood up. Prepared to fight instead of run.
CRACK,it went again ....and there were more to follow...faster and repetative...
They had no idea what it was until THUD...right in front of Tracy's feet lie a creature....unique and beautiful at the same time,wings as delicate as a glass rose petal with intruiging detail almost a lacey texture,the color resembled some sort of mint green,her delicate skin was an eggshell white,he eyes.....so big for her face..beautiful pools of brown...almost as if you couldnt turn to look away from them,her light green dress was in tatters from,what they guessed,the fall. The slippers were in shreads her tiny toes peeked out,her fgure in general was tall for her size and slender...she was beautiful.She was hurt..holding her knee and a small wimper escaped her lips,"whoever invented gravity sucks." her small voice cried.
Tracy picked her up as gently and carefully as possible."May I ask who you are?"
"Anastasia Carmella"
Impy just stared in awe and wonder at the creature that just entered his pressence,he thought she was the most single beautiful being there was.He floated to her side and asked "What happened Anastasia?"
"Well i was flying to get to my sweeties tree... then i don't know what happened.I'm guessing a bird flew in and got my wing"
She looked at her torn wing,"then i got caught in the tree and just fell... it was a long fall,and i think i hurt my knee"
Impy got suddenly discouraged when she said 'her sweeties tree'
he never stoood a chance.At that moment sparkles filled the air,Impy glowed and he gently brushed her leg with his stubby,yet soft arm.Demitri knew what he was doing,just as he did with Tracy,he was healing her.He then remembered just a few seconds earlier,when she fell...he had never seen anyone,or creature fall so hard...cause whe she did he seen her limp body fall and then bounce so brutally.. how could she not be hurt more than just her knee?This didn't make sence to him but he thought to keep it to himself,and he made a mental note of it and stored it in the back of his mind.Anastasia had not a clue as to what Impy was doing to her,and yet she was feeling better as he was rubbing her leg....and as soon as he was finished with his process she was feeling better than she had ever felt in her life,"What did you do to me?"
"I have just completed the healing process...do you feel better?" Impy squeeked.
"I feel amazing thank you" she ran to hug him and fluttered her wings,"so if you healed my knee does this mean.." she looked at her wing.She gasped,"you fixed my wing?!?!May I ask what your name is so i can thank you properly?"
"It's Impy Mrs.Carmella" Impy replied.
"Oh no no,im single hun.I'm a miss." Anastasia looked into his eyes and gave a gentle kiss upon his cheek. "Thank you again Impy."
Impy was going crazy with excitment,he had a chance,she was single.... and he recieved his first peck on the cheek.Impy blushed and took her hand in his,"It was no trouble Anna,if i may call you that"
In return Anastasia blushed,she had never seen anybody so cute.. and no one ever held her hand before...all the other faries just looked at her and turned away.. she was never one of the pretty faries.She looked into his eyes once more,and she saw this did not matter to him..she felt speacial for this one moment in time.Then she slowly looked away.Tracy couldn't help it but think this was the cutest thing that she had ever seen,and he felt happy for Impy,and with this she felt flirty and so she sat down next two Demitri and gently laid her head on his shoulder.This she actually couldn't help.She was actually really tired,estimating only 2 hours of sleep is what she got.. and she wanted to buy herself just a small nap.Demitri found the whole Impy Anna situation pleasing... he knew how Impy longed for a girl of his own,and he may have found her.He felt Tracy's head on his shoulder,and yet again that spark of excitment was bursting within him.He softly told her that she can rest,and with out hesitation Tracy was asleep withing several moments.He rubbed her arms... she was ice cold .. and he got out that blanket... and wrapped it around her.His arm around her.. he was pleased with himself.Well while Tracy was sleeping this gave them all a chance to relax,and Demitri a chance to learn more about Anastasia and where she was headed. "Well Anna,tell us about yourself." Demitri said with a yawn."Well you all know my name,I am a Whimsy Fairy,hmm as you can tell im small for my kind,I enjoy flying and music,and I can practically live through anything...i have amazing bone strength" Anna said with a smile,"I am really not sure where Im headed though....so is it to much of a bother to ask if i can join you guys on your journy?"
"How di-"
"I know you guys were headed on a journy,and that you were asking me on where im going?I can read thoughts....its my tallent" she said with a shimmer in her eye.
"Impressive" Impy and Demitri said simutaniously.
"I guess, sometimes the power is just to much to handle dealing with the head aches all the time and everything .. its actually quite annoying"
"I bet" Demitri said surprisingly understanding.
"Well how about we all join Tracy in going to bed?! We all seem to have had a rough day and night... I dunno baout you guys but im going to sleep" Demitri said with yet again another yawn.
"Agreed" sang Impy and Anna.
Everyone gathered around grabbed a bit of blanket and pillow soon everyone was asleep.
Tracy was awakened to the smell of...omlets?!She didn't beleive it.Her eyes popped open one by one,sure enough... Anna was cooking,this early?! she looked at the sun peeking over the horizon,almost close to 8:30 she guessed.Impy greeted her with an adorable smile and a light hug,Demitri ruffled her hair and said "Good morning sunshine"
Anna looked over her shoulder and gave a wide grin, "Do you like omlets?"
Tracy rubbed her eyes "Are you kidding?I love omlets"
"but ho-"
"Did i make this meal in the forest with lack of supplies and ingredients?Simple,I am a morning person and I searched for the supplies,and had Demitri poof up some cooking supplies."
Tracy nodded with satisfaction,but how did she know what she was going to ask?
"How did you know I was go-"
"To ask that?I can read minds"
Tracy nodded once more,she was seeing and amoung the impossible.. she might as well get used to it.She laughed at this thought.Served on a cute little dish was the most delicious omlet she had in years,the first time she ever had an omlet was when her and her father where in the kitchen in the early hours in the castle,it was the most fun and most delicious thing she had ever eaten.This omlet she had was like a replica...it almost brought a tears to her eyes..but she managed to choke them down.And the question popped into her head...."Where are we going today?"
