Authors's note: Okay so I have finally lost my mind. Just to let you wonderful readers know, this is my first real fanfic, so yeah it is bad. But hey it is hard for me write about a world that I did not create. So anyway this is pretty much just about my OC Shilo, who I am trying every hard to make sure she does not become a Mary Sue. But anyway, I hope ya guys like.
Chapter One: In which Shilo Arrives at Her New Job
Relax Shi…
Just take a deep breath… in
…out
You are safe here… or at least I hope.
To say Shilo is nervous would be an understatement. She didn't know what caused her to want to come here or be part of their world once again, but here she is. It could be that she ran out of places to hide from them, no not them, him, or it could be that she needed an adrenaline rush that the foreign lands and jungles could no longer proved. Shilo could make up reasons in her head all day about why she decided to do this, to get a job here where she would be surrounded by them and word of her location could easily reach him, but she knew deep down that the main reason that caused her to do this was that she was afraid. She hated to admit it; in fact she never would admit it but what dwelled in those walls that stood before her terrified her to a point with no end. She didn't have to do this at all, but for someone that never liked labels she is doing whole lot to uphold hers. The Fearless Princess of Adventure has a nice ring to it after all, and after she gets though with this year she hoped to make that true.
There fixated in a trance stood Shilo, eyeing the golden gates, watering from a lack of blinks while her mouth stood slightly opened. If someone told her that she would be coming back here after all those years hating this place she would have stab them, but none the least here she stood.
"Princess Shilo! Is that really you?"
"My, My look at how much she has grown, Flora."
"Hello deary."
Shilo's trance was broken by the three head masteries'
"Ms Flora, Ms. Fauna, Ms. Merryweather, it is so nice to see you three again." Shilo happily greeted her old headmasters.
" Oh it is so nice to see you again also Princess Shilo, and thank you so much for coming in our time of need." Spoke Flora
"Oh it is my pleasure to be of help, but please don't call me princess, I gave that life up years ago. I am now just plan Shilo, the new cultural teacher," explained Shilo.
"Yes that is right, we are so sorry to hear that deary, I hope that being here doesn't bring back any rotten memories for you." said Fauna
"Ms. Fauna, there is no need to feel sorry for me, I am the happiest that I have ever been, and as for the bad memories… well… I'm kindof counting on them to get me though some inner turmoil that I have been having lately," Shilo explained joyfully, knowing, or rather hoping that this job would save her from her fear.
"Very well dear", chimed in Merryweather, "Now let us get you settled into your new classroom before the bell rings."
The three fairies lead the way as Shilo followed close behind into the front gates of Royal Prep Academy. The courtyard was filled with the soon to be kings and queens of many of the kingdoms around the world. The kids were busy playing games and socializing before the ringing bell tells them it is time for class to begin.
Don't look Shi. Don't look. Just keep your head straight.
Shilo's eyes stayed focus on the three heads of the head masteries' but in her gut she could tell that all eyes were on her. She could hear the mumbles and the whispers form the little royals wondering who was this new comer, she could feel them, all of them staring on her as she took her first steps inside the schoolhouse in over ten years.
Do they know that I'm nervous, I bet they can see my anxiety if not sense it just by looking at me.
The voice in Shilo's head continue to think about the watching eyes and the soft whispers of the courtyard, she was beginning to feel that taking a job in a place full of royalty was not such a good idea.
Maybe I would just be better off if I just let my fear be, it is really not hurting me, thought Shilo, who was starting to see that living a life of fear wouldn't be such a bad thing now.
All I have to do is just tell the good fairies that I don't want the job anymore, they can get a replacement for me, they got a teacher to fill the place of the old one before I got here, so how hard would it be for them to get that person back? Wait a minute! What am I saying? I am no quitter! Well on second thought I did give up being a Princess, does that count as quitting?
"Okay deary here we are, your new classroom."
"Huh? Oh yes of course!" Shilo said in a rush, unsure about who exactly said it.
"So you have everything you need for the day?"
"Yes Ms. Flora, I am prepared for whatever happens."
"Very well, if you say so Shilo, Now please excuse us as we let the students in, the bell will ring in about 5 minutes."
"Yes, of course Ms. Flora."
With that the three fairies started down the long towering hallway.
"Good luck princ…, I mean, Shilo" called back Fauna
Shilo turned around to yell back a thank you but the threesome had disappeared.
Well time to get settled!
Shilo reached over her shoulder pulling off a rather large and very heavy knapsack. She wished that she could have dropped it off at her new little cottage that she was renting. But a blizzard had suspired the little village that she was taking residence in the night before. The sudden weather change had caught the poor little town completely unprepared causing her carriage to be late this morning in picking her up from the hotel she was staying at, and she hadn't the time to stop by her new home.
I just hope that the rest of my belongings will be waiting for me at the post today, that blizzard was pretty bad last night and there is no telling if the villagers could shovel 8 feet of snow in time to deliver them today. Oh well at least I had sense enough to pack a bag of the necessities.
Shilo took a deep breath again. She was going to need to be claim for her students.
Just close your eyes and mediate for a while Shi.
Breathe in… breathe out…
In… out…
Above Shilo heard the sound of a bell, in the distance she heard the pitter patter of young royalty.
Looking up Shilo knew that this day was not going to be easy.
