This is my first fanfiction book so please comment about things you liked and things you didn't!
Chapter One:
I almost didn't recognize myself; the person staring back at me in bedroom mirror wasn't me. It couldn't be she was too beautiful. My hair had been curled with a curling iron, until every lock of hair was placed delicately over my shoulder. My eyes looked so inviting, which matched my sexy ruby red lips. Issie and Cassidy were staring at me admiring there work.
"Wow" Issie breathed "You look so beautiful. If Nick were here he wouldn't be able to keep his hand off of you"
Nick was my boyfriend, but he died trying to save me from one of the pixies we trapped in a mansion surrounded by iron. Pixies can't stand iron so Nick, Issie, Grandma Betty, Devyn and I trapped all the evil pixies that my biological father, the pixie king, was controlling so that they would stop kidnapping teenage boys and draining them of their blood. But the thing is, Nick didn't really die. He was just minutes away from death when a Valkyrie came and said that she was taking him away to Vahalla to become a warrior for their army.
It was at that moment that realization finally hit me; Nick wasn't here to take me to the winter ball like he promised. I felt a sudden emptiness inside. I lowered my head so that Is and Cassidy wouldn't see that the night had gotten to me.
Is immediately realized what she had done and slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Oh Zara honey Nick was going to take you tonight wasn't he! I'm so sorry sweetie." She looked almost as sad as I felt. Before I could even comment she had me in a giant hug. I started crying, right as Devyn walked in to the room.
"Everyone ready to-, Zara what's wrong?" he asked with concern written all over his face. You could see by just looking at him that realization was dawning on him.
"Zara, we don't have to go if it is going to make you miserable." He looked like he really meant it, but I could see that he really wanted to go.
I remember when nock asked me to go, I had been counting down the days until I got to see him is his tux
"No Dev, I don't want to ruin your night just because I start got emotional over nothing. Besides I know how much you want to dance with Is" I smiled to try and show them that I was okay, but the smile didn't really reach my eyes.
"If you're sure" he said cautiously.
"I am" I said in the firmest voice that I could summon.
"All right, Dev get you cute but out of her while we fix Zara's makeup, we will meet you in the car" Is ordered in her firm commando voice.
Devyn smiled and left the room. As soon as my makeup was re-applied we made our way to the car. We were on our way out the door when Issie pulled me aside and hugged me one last time.
"You know you can tell me anything right. I mean I know I'm the human out of all of us but I really am here for you when you're ready to talk." She said with a motherly smile on her face.
"I know Is, and I'm starting to think being human isn't that bad. If we were all human Nick would be here right now instead of being held against his will in some made up fairytale war zone" I said thoughtfully, though it came out a bit bitter.
"We're going to get him you know that right Zara honey?" she said trying to make me feel better. I nodded to reassure her that I was okay. She smiled and gave me one last quick squeeze before we walked into the cold night. I closed the front door shut and all I could think about was when I would get to be in Nick's arms again. When I would be able to fall asleep into his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. The spidery feeling all of a sudden consumed my body. Then I heard a voice.
Never…
I whipped around staring into the woods trying to find whoever was in my mind. I had never heard of a creature that could do that. All of a sudden my cell phone rang from inside my mini clutch purse. I checked the caller ID. It was Astley. Asltey was the pixie that I let turn me, so that I could be strong enough to travel to Vahalla and save Nick. But there was a catch, Astley was a pixie king. So when he kissed me, I automatically became his pixie queen. I didn't really know what that fully meant until I answered my cell.
"Who said that in you mind?" he asked frantically.
"What, do you mean" I asked completely perplexed by his question.
"Who said the word 'never' in you head?"
"How did you know about that?" I asked completely dumbfound
"I am on my way over do not move!"
He hung up before I could ask anymore questions. How did Astley know that someone was in my head, and why was he so worried? I mean don't get me wrong I was terrified too but everything was all too weird. I saw Issie's mouth moving, but blood was pounding in my ears so I couldn't hear what she was saying. The last thing I saw was Astley flying above me before I fainted.
