I don't own Tinkerbell

Anger. Sadness. Disgust. All swirled around in her as she felt herself breaking down. So much pain and regret. So much stress. But Periwinkle wouldn't want her anymore after all she'd done. There was no point in going on anymore.

A large swirl of water roiled above her, rolling and flopping, but not a drop falling. The houses below were so dry, so barren, almost... empty. Water was sustenance for life; it was needed by every living creature. But did the pixies of the Hollow deserve this?

No. But SHE did. This was all her fault. Had she not interfered, there wouldn't have been so much pain, so much despair.

As she prepared to let the water go, she let herself feel again. Feel everything, from the fairyling happiness and her excitement of having an animal fairy as a best friend to now, all this disgust and sorrow. She could feel one last time. Taking in a slow breath, she bunched the water and letting out the breath, she released the large torrent swirling above her.

Silvermist awoke with a scream, sweat pouring down her face, chest and back as she twisted and turned, looking for any source of light she could find. From the main room came Fawn, running to see what was the matter.

"Sil, what's wrong? What happened?"

"We have to evacuate the Hollow." Silvermist gasped.

"What?"

"We need to evacuate everyone and everything. The animals, the Healing Cove, the fairylings, everyone has to get out as soon as possible."

"But why?"

"Because I'm going to flood Pixie Hollow!" Silvermist cried.

Fawn gasped. "Why? When? What do we do to prepare?"

"I'm going to do something that causes Periwinkle to hate me and something Queen Clarion does is going to push me over the edge and I'll snap. I don't know when!"

"But it'll take months to gather that much food and to get everyone packed and out."

"Then we need to warn everyone as soon as possible and get it started." Silvermist stated determinedly.

"Sil, you know what we have to do, don't you?"

Silvermist groaned as she realized that her best friend was right. "But it's going to be her fault anyway!"

"Yes, but they'll listen to her."

Silvermist sighed and nodded grudgingly, getting out of bed and slipping into her workout outfit before pulling on her dress. She had taken to continuing her workouts ever since Periwinkle had gotten out of the Healing Cove a week prior. Waiting for Fawn to lock up, Silvermist mused on her love and smiled just at the thought of seeing Periwinkle again. When Fawn was ready, Silvermist spread her overly large wings and the two took off for the Pixie Dust tree where the Warm Palace was located. Landing outside the door, the two strode inside and knocked at the throne room door.

"Enter!" Queen Clarion called. Silvermist pushed the large door open and cocked her head at Queen Clarion. The monarch leaned back in her chair with a raised eyebrow. "Yes Silvermist? Fawn? What brings you girls by to see me?"

"We've got an emergency situation, Queen Clarion." Fawn replied.

"Oh?"

"Sil woke up just now from a Vision of the Future." Queen Clarion froze, but Silvermist was the only one to catch her suddenly tense posture as Fawn went on. "The Vision told her that she would flood Pixie Hollow. We don't know why, but we have to warn all the pixies so that we can start evacuation procedure."

Queen Clarion nodded and moved over to a large gong hanging by one of the windows. "Silvermist, if you would do the honor."

Silvermist nodded, lifting the large mallet. Giving it three hard swings, the water fairy called every pixie that could fly to the palace. Everyone waited as the Winter fairies arrived as well.

"What's going on?" an ice fairy shouted and others took up the call, wanting to know what the danger was.

"Pixie Hollow is in grave danger." Queen Clarion called, hushing the crowd. "Silvermist had a Vision that a great flood was coming."

"A flood!"

"A flood's coming!"

"There's gonna be a flood!"

"We do not know when it will hit." Queen Clarion went on, silencing the masses once more. "It could be days, weeks or even months or years. We must prepare a safe haven where we can retreat when it does hit."

"But where will we go?" a light sparrow man called.

Silvermist stepped up and Queen Clarion watched enviously as she stood tall before the crowd. As Silvermist began, Queen Clarion began noting their similarities.

"I know a place we can go." Their wings were both very large despite the golden glow around her own.

"It's a few miles away, toward the mainland." Silvermist naturally stood tall, but because her friends were all shorter than herself, she stood hunched slightly most of the time.

"I use it to work out whenever I'm not working." The clear ringing voice that commanded attention, though Silvermist's was much softer than her own.

"I built walls around it to prevent anyone from interrupting me, but there's a door that we could all enter through and it's easily barracadable." All of the fairies stared up at Silvermist with admiration as did quite a few of the sparrow men. It had been a long time since she had seen that same look directed at herself.

"You're sure it's safe?" a few frost and fast-flying pixies called.

"I don't know how far the flood will stretch; I only saw it cover Pixie Hollow, but my walls are sturdy, durable. I made them to last. They're higher than most of your wings will reach so the flood isn't likely to spill over top of them."

"When should we start getting supplies there?" Fairy Mary inquired.

"As soon as we can, right away if possible. A group of fairies and sparrow men should be picked to collect and transport supplies while everyone else goes about their usual work."

"Who will go?" Fawn asked, stepping up beside her friend.

Silvermist turned to Queen Clarion as she had felt the queen's glare on the back of her head through the entire thing. She stepped back, her own glare rivaling the monarch's and Queen Clarion stepped up to choose the group that will be set on saving all their lives.

As the queen did this, Silvermist searched the crowd and found the fairy she'd been looking for. Close to the large block of ice that the Winter fairies had brought with them, stood Periwinkle with Gliss and Spike on either side of her. Spike had one arm around her shoulders to keep her upright and Gliss had one hand on her arm to give her encouragement. Silvermist remembered the Vision and wondered, for the first time of many that will come in the approaching months, what she had done to make Periwinkle so upset with her and mused on whether or not she would be able to make it up to the frost fairy.
