"Toads, beetles, bats." Anti-Amber muttered, quoting the famous curse from Shakespeare's "The Tempest". She had just received a very large stack of paperwork that needed to be done by Thursday. It was Tuesday night. "All this work! What does it take to get a little relaxation around here?! Fairies get relaxation! Fairies don't have to do paperwork all the time!" she snapped, filled with hatred. "Oh, God, I know JUST how you feel, dear." Her father floated into the room. "Hey Dad. Is that a new monocle?" she asked. "Actually, this one is for you, dear." Anti-Cosmo replied. "You may need it, what with all that paperwork. You have a long history of short-sightedness on my side of the family." "Wow Dad, thanks. Really." She placed it over her worst eye, her right, and smiled a fanged grin. Topped with her new blue hat and outfit, and now her new monocle she looked just like her father, only with long flowing hair and glittering golden eyes. "Being leader of the anti-fairies isn't as easy as others make it out to be, is it?" he asked with sympathy. "No, no it isn't. They say it like your all-powerful and no one stands in your way, but the truth is, you have so much work to do that you hardly ever get a little time to yourself to make something of that power." Anti-Amber said sadly. Her fanged smile turned into a slight frown as she floated over to her black desk and laid her head against the table. "It isn't easy, is it? Here, allow me to help you." Anti-Cosmo said as he hovered closer. He began to confer with her and teach her the most effective ways to get the paperwork done quickly and right. They didn't even notice Anti-Comet (Anti-Cosmo's new wife and Anti-Amber's mother) floating outside the doorway, whispering. "You're just like your father."
Anti-Amber began cooking some dinner. She had finished early with the help of her father and decided to make her family a delicious dinner. Everybody in Anti-Fairy World knew Anti-Amber was the best cook in the world. She was now making up a batch of Sapphire Soup, using her own recipe. As she added the 25 grains of rice and 3 ounces of liquefied metal, she stopped and paused to waft some of the delicious smells to her nose. If there was one good thing this anti-fairy could make, it was food. She added celery and leprechauns' gold coins, and she plopped in 6 shiny polished sapphires. She let it simmer above the fire for a while, and then she let the fire die out and poured the soup into another pot from the one she cooked it in and let it cool. Then, when it was ready, she divided it up, she poured it into 2 large bowls (for her father and mother), 2 medium bowls (for her and Foop) and of course a little bowl for her new little sister, Anti-Amethyst. She sat her whole family down at the huge dining/meeting table (which evidently looked a bit empty with only 5 anti-fairies sitting there) and served them all their bowls of nice, warm soup. She knew Sapphire Soup was her family's favorite. "Very good, sister." Foop tried it and rolled it about on his tongue, savoring it. "Mmm, delicious dear! If Sapphire Soup was a baked good or pastry, we'd win that annual bake-off for sure with you!" Anti-Cosmo said. Her mother just nodded, she didn't usually say much. Anti-Amethyst garbled and laughed. "Thank you, everyone!" Anti-Amber cried, and bowed.
But she didn't realize that more things awaited her…. More than she'd ever expected…
Well what do you think of the first chapter? Pretty short, I know, but I'll make more soon! Feel free to leave suggestions or criticism in the reviews! I am open to anything that will help me improve! Remember to R&R!
