Author's Note: So far I've gotten three reviews on this story. I'm glad you guys are enjoying it, and I hope it's as good as the first so far! Well, without further ado, please enjoy the second chapter of Out of Sight, into Mind!
Oh, and I feel I should mention, to avoid confusion, that the anti fairies and pixies were in jail for teaming up to take over Fairy World about a year before this story. It has nothing to do with Timmy, Lexi, Riley, or anything in this story. R&R for quick updates!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairly Oddparents or its characters. I only own Riley and the other OCs.
Chapter 2
It was merely a coincidence that the pixies and the anti fairies happened to be cruising through Dimmsdale in a Pixies Inc. limousine the day after their release from fairy prison.
No, really.
It was.
They just hadn't been to Earth in such a long time, that they felt they should take a short trip. And of course they used the limo, since it was most likely to blend in with Earth transportation.
It was also merely a coincidence that they happened to look out the dark tinted windows when they did, and it was Head Pixie who noticed her first.
"Hey AC," he drawled in his usual monotone voice, "do you see that girl?"
Anti Cosmo, seated beside Head Pixie, glanced out the window, following his gaze. "I certainly do, HP." He turned away quickly, not giving her a second thought but wondering briefly why the head of Pixie World felt the need to mention a common Earth girl.
HP didn't like to beat around the bush. "That girl is Sanders," he stated plainly, before leaning forwards and telling Sanderson, the driver of the limousine, to slow down.
After squinting at the girl once more, Anti Cosmo let out a laugh. "Why, that is ridiculous, my rather cone-headed friend. Both Alexis and Timothy grew up years ago."
But HP wasn't giving up that easily. "Look at her, AC," he droned. "Short stature, blond hair, she looks just like Sanders. And Sanders has hybrid magic. She could easily disobey that idiot Jorgen and use her powers to stay a child."
Anti Cosmo shook his head, silently ridiculing his evil partner in crime. He opened his mouth to argue and insist that the limousine speed up, or else some nosy human was sure to get suspicious, when a paper fluttered out of the girl's hand, and she turned to pick it up.
They only got a short glimpse of her face, but one thing was clear, even through the tinted windows of the car.
Her eyes were bright blue.
HP and Anti Cosmo locked eyes and exchanged an evil grin. They hadn't succeeded in draining Lexi's magic the first time, but that had been over twenty years ago.
Second times the charm.
oOo
Riley was practically skipping down the street, half from the excitement of the first day of school, half because she liked the feeling of her skirt swishing behind her.
She would get to see her friends in only minutes. She hadn't seen either of them all summer. Ella, the daughter of Chester and Tootie, had been staying with her Grandpa McBadbat all summer, and CJ, the adopted son of AJ, had been visiting Africa, the country where he was born. Riley couldn't wait to see them.
Of course, school also meant putting up with Tiffany and Tyler, the spoiled twins of Trixie Tang and Remy Buxaplenty, but they were bearable and mostly left Riley and her friends alone.
Less than two blocks away from school, Riley pulled her class schedule out of her pocket to look it over one last time. Her worst fear was getting lost and therefore running in to late to class. How embarrassing.
In a sudden gust of wind, the paper was blown from her hand and fluttered to the sidewalk. Relieved that it hadn't flown farther, she leaned down and picked it up.
She hadn't taken more than two steps when a burlap sack was thrown over her head.
After a lot of thrashing around and what seemed like an eternity, Riley was dumped out of the bag and onto a cushy, actually very comfortable seat. Her arms were tied behind her back, and her legs were tied together at the ankle, and when she looked around she saw that she was in a moving vehicle. A big one.
Hearing voices beside her, she turned her head to the side to get a glimpse of her kidnappers.
Then she screamed.
Two creatures – they certainly weren't human – sat beside her. One was wearing a suit and round glasses, and its head was in the shape of a cone. Two small, square wings protruded out of its back.
Next to the cone-headed person sat a creature with dark blue skin and hair. He wore a monocle and also had wings, two little black bat wings.
Before Riley could scream again, the cone-head clapped a hand over her mouth as the blue creature said to him, speaking with a thick British accent, "See, HP? What did I tell you? Clearly not Alexis."
Alexis? Riley's mom's name. Thoroughly confused, she let out a muffled scream against the cone-head's hand. They ignored her.
"Of course it is, AC," cone-head replied in a voice that portrayed no emotion whatsoever. "Look at her eyes."
Her eyes? Her eyes were bright blue, just like her mother's. Wait a minute.
They thought Riley was her mother? How did they know her?
She gripped the hand covering her mouth and pried it away. "What do you freaks want from me?"
"My dear girl, may I ask who your parents are?" the blue one asked in a frighteningly polite tone for such a creature.
If Riley had been thinking, she wouldn't have answered. But instead, in a state of panic, she blurted out, "Not Timmy and Lexi Turner!" Then she groaned. "Oh, darn it."
The two kidnappers exchanged a glance. "In that case, you'll be coming with us," the cone-head said, and before Riley could protest, a strange smoke shot up her nose and into her eyes, and her world went black.
