So the last few days have been interesting. I haven't posted like I said I would since I have been busy tidying the house before me and my family go away for Christmas and preparing presents. By the way MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Now yesterday was the busiest and slowest and longest by far. We got up early to drive to the house my sister lives at, it's a five or six hour drive and we arrived at about two o'clock and just as we were about to get out of the car an earthquake struck. You see we were in Christchurch which has been having them since September last year; there were also ones in February and June. The February one was followed by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Chch has been suffering from aftershocks since September last year.

Anyway about an hour later just as we started to feel safe enough to go inside there was another big earthquake and everyone ran back out again. There were aftershocks all through the afternoon and evening and another official earthquake at six in the morning.

Please note that anything above a five on the Richter Scale is an earthquake and anything below is just a shock. (this was from the News so it might not be accurate, feel free to correct me)

And that was my excitement for the last day or so, I hope you are having great Christmas and I should be updating a couple of chapters today out of boredom and as an apology for getting busy. Please enjoy.

Sleep

It had been an hour since Zarisha had stabbed herself, an hour since she had been found bleeding on the floor, an hour and still she lived. She could feel nothing but pain, see nothing but darkness and hear nothing but the sound of her heart struggling to beat with the dagger still in it.

It had been Ryou and Duke who had found her. They called the other fairies then went to fetch the King and any others close to the Princess. Tea, Yugi, Mai and Isis were taken into a separate room and not told what was going on. Tea wasn't feeling well so the other three were left there to look after her. The King ordered Malik and Tristan to watch over them while he and the fairies discussed what had happened. The fairy Emma did not join them; she went to look after Zarisha.

"How could this have happened? I thought she was just supposed to fall asleep." The King cried.

"I don't know your majesty; the spell should have put her to sleep." Ryou said. He was sitting on a chair with his head in his hands. "If the spell hadn't worked she would be dead but since she isn't sleeping she still may die."

"We need to figure out how to get her to sleep then worry about what to do next and what caused this to happen. If we waste any more time we may lose the Princess and the Kingdom." Duke said, trying and failing to keep calm. "Maybe if we remove the dagger she will sleep."

"If we remove the dagger without figuring out how to stop it from killing her then she will probably die, if we don't remove the dagger she'll die anyway, I don't think we have a lot of options." Rose sighed.

In the next room Tea and the others were listening in to the conversation. Tea was furious. However before she could say anything there was a puff of fairy dust and a girl with brown hair, a pink tutu and pink wings appeared.

"Oops." She said glancing around. "Uh, if anyone asks you didn't see me, okay?"

"Alright." Said Mai. "Before you go could you please tell me who you are? I know it's not my place but if you suddenly appear, tell people not to say you were there, then disappear again without telling them your name…"

"My names Mana." She said. "I'm a fairy in training, I was trying to get into the castle oh the Seven Sleepers but I must have made a mistake."

"Oh." Said Mai, a little confused.

"Well I better get back." And with that Mana disappeared.

"Has anyone ever heard of the Seven Sleepers?" Asked Yugi.

"They're a myth." Explained Isis. "Many years ago a seer predicted that one day seven people would be cursed by an evil fairy to sleep for one hundred years. But there is no record of any curse being made that puts people to sleep."

"Well actually it's not that they were to be cursed by an evil fairy; they were to be enchanted by a good fairy trying to stop an evil fairies curse." Said Malik from the door, how a guard knew something like that they did not know.

"I have to help her." Moaned Tea, sliding to the floor. "She's going to die if I don't."

"Don't say that Tea, she'll be fine. Emma's the best healer in the Kingdom, there's nothing she can't heal." Yugi tried his best to sound hopeful, but the sad truth was he knew he was going to lose a sister.

"Yugi I know your trying to make me feel better but you know as well as I do that there's nothing Emma can do." Tea sighed in defeat.

"There may be nothing I can do Tea but there is something you can do, something you all can do." Emma was standing in the door way. "I need all six of you to come to the healing chambers."

They followed obediently. She left for a moment and returned dragging Ryou.

"I think I know what we need to do." Explained Emma. "I overheard your discussion about the Seven Sleepers and got an idea. We need to move Zarisha into her bedroom and then…"

'And then what?" Tea demanded.

"And then you need to take the dagger and stab yourself in the exact same place. After that Ryou needs to put the rest of you to sleep so when one of the Princesses wakes up she won't be totally alone." Emma said in a hurry, not wanting to be interrupted.

"What? Wouldn't that just end up with both of us being dead?" Tea exclaimed.

"It shouldn't," Said Ryou. "if I did the spell right when you were little it should only put you into a deep sleep for one hundred years, after that only one can wake up, the other mustn't not ever."

"Why only one?"

"Because if both of you were to wake then the evil that's coming will arrive anyway and the sacrifice your sister made would have been a waste."

"Fine." Tea said after thinking for a moment. "Let's go."

They all went to the tower room where the girls had slept for the past fifteen years. Tristan and Malik carried Zarisha in and lay her on her bed. The others moved to where they would be sleeping. Yugi sat by Zarisha's bed while Tea moved to sit on her own. Mai and Isis went and sat on the chairs that were by the fire and Tristan and Malik took seats near the each door. Emma stood guard outside the room and Ryou stood between the two beds. Tea nodded to show she was ready and Ryou quickly pulled the dagger out of Zarisha and handed to Tea, Tea aimed then stabbed into her chest.

Tea did not feel the pain she was expecting, she felt sleepy, she fell back against the blankets and slipped into a dreamless sleep. On the other bed Zarisha's pain vanished, as she too drifted off, except as soon as she slept she started to dream.

As soon as Ryou noticed the girls were sleeping he cast a spell to put the remaining people in the room to sleep. When he finished the King burst into the room and seen what had happened.

"Why?" Was all he asked.

"Because if we didn't then both the girls and the kingdom would have been destroyed." Said Emma, who had followed him inside.

"What am I supposed to do now? All my children a sleeping, my wife is dead and I will not marry again." He said, trying to work out what would happen now.

In the end it was decided that all the sleepers would be dressed in their finest clothing, the Princesses were to be dressed in their new dresses that their father and brother had bought them. The room was made so it was spotless and the King had been convinced that the castle should be abandoned. It took three weeks for the castle to be cleared and by the end of that time a huge forest had grown. Three of the fairies, Ryou, Emma and Tara chose to remain and watch over the sleepers and the other three left with the King to aid the Royal court. Soon the legend of the Seven Sleepers was forgotten.

At the edge of the Kingdom Bakura celebrated. When Ryou first changed his curse he had been banished and stripped of his power. However as years went by he mastered another form of magic. He sent spies to watch the castle for the day one of the Princesses would wake. Then he would wake the other and destroy all that remained.


So I guess I should describe what the fairies look like. Pretty much they wear different colours. Duke is white because he was the most powerful, Bakura was pink as the next powerful, Emma is purple, Tara is orange, Rose is green, Rebecca is yellow and Ryou is blue. After Bakura got banished he turned black, Mana replaces Bakura as the Pink fairy. Fairies live for thousands of years and never age once their powers are fully developed. They also all wear tutus but it's not considered girly because it's like kilts and stuff.


Here the end for this time, the bit above is from the original. Now you know what to do, give me the best gift I can receive this Christmas… a REVIEW! Please have a good Christmas and I can't wait to hear what you think.
