Velvet Tears

Chapter 1

Your first month in this city was filled with terror. You were chased by the faeries known as ogres, pixies, and satyrs, all trying to lure you into a trap to eat and or rape you. A few ghosts helped you out of danger, in exchange you promised to help them cross over when you were settled in. But this night… This night you were faced with the fey of war. Bananach the other faeries call her. Her hair was the color of night and made of feathers, she had talons instead of finger nails, and her movements mimicked that of a bird. The sight of her made your blood run cold and your body froze, unable to move. Lucky for you someone under the protection of the dark court spotted you and convinced the war fey to leave you unharmed. His dark hair and gray eyes lured you in, he was handsome. He was a bit pierced up but you thought it made him look sexy. Best of all, he was human.

He told you his name was Seth and you obliged him by giving him your name. Seth told you it was unique and flashed you a smile that made you blush, causing butterflies to dance in your stomach. That was last month, this is now, enjoy your stay.

So soft came her breath as she watched with wide eyes. Her new life was amazing, filled with wonders and mystery. Here she could be herself; yet she was still hunted for who she was and what she could do. At least she wasn't in an insane asylum... She continued to study the fey dancing in the park, their skin glowed colors that had no names and the area around them held a drunken atmosphere. Ghosts were flooding around them, stuck in the harmonious loop. It made her want to join them but, she knew better.

Seth's arm wrapped around her waist, his lips pressed close to her ear, snapping her attention back to now. "C'mon" She nodded, blushing and followed him to his home. An abandon train where the only fey he had to worry about were the monarchs. He closed the door behind them. "Tru, you've only been in the city a month. I understand that watching the faeries will make anyone awestruck but, since you're new and your sighted, you have to be careful. Remember your on the run from them"

She nodded slowly, "I'm Sorry Seth… it's just, of all the thing's I see, faeries are the most enchanting…"

"And deadly…" he muttered as she watched his gray shimmer of concern transition to a sympathetic teal. Seth fiddled with his lip ring and turned to get them both some tea.

Tru's fingers glided through her dark brown hair, and pieces of her violet bangs fell in her eyes, she didn't bother moving them. "So now what? I hide in here the rest of my life?"

Seth came back in the room, handing her a coffee mug filled with tea, it smelled like jasmine. "we find Niall and see if he'll give you some protection…"

She sipped at her drink and watched Seth over the rim. He radiated a maroon color meaning he felt unsure. "alright" she set her cup down and regarded him with a brave face, "Where do we find him?"

He smiled, his glow suddenly turning to a lively orange; excited , "The Crow's Nest but, that can wait until tomorrow. Get some rest Tru, You'll need the energy."

Tru paused as she headed for her room, "Why would the dark court king give me protection? What do I have to offer?" She traced the ladybug tat on her wrist nervously.

"We'll have to wait and see what he asks for I guess…" The maroon light returned again.

"Alright" she sighed, "good night"

The next morning Seth brought Tru the to Crow's Nest and with the best luck in the world, Niall was there.

Short because I'm lazy and really needed to update. Sorry.
