Author's Note: Never thought I'd see the day that I'm writing so fast I have to keep myself from uploading every day. But this story's so fun to write. I hope this writing streak stays with me this time. Make sure to read and review, and let me know in the reviews who your favorite OC in the story is. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Chapter 3

"Aw! Look at her sleepin'. Ain't she just the cutest darn thing you ever did saw?"

Riley awoke to the sound of the unfamiliar voice, this time one with a very heavy Southern accent. Very unlike the soft seats she had fallen asleep on – or was she knocked out? She couldn't remember – now the ground below her was hard and cold. She was afraid to open her eyes.

"Yes, yes, my dear," the one with the British accent, the same one that had kidnapped her, replied. "But remember? This is the daughter of Alexis Sanders and Timothy Turner! Do you know what that means?"

There was a long pause, before the female answered happily, "That…it's time to go make my rats' eye casserole?"

The male sounded horrified. "No, no, my dear, ignorant wife. What it means is that this girl must have hybrid powers as well!"

Hybrid powers? Riley's eyes fluttered open in confusion. They couldn't be talking about her. She was just a normal, everyday human.

Once she propped herself up on her elbows, Riley got a full view of the two creatures in front of her. There was the same one from before, as she had guessed, and floating beside him was a female with the same blue skin and hair, along with very crooked teeth and neon pink eyes.

A shiver of fear ran through her body, and she glanced around, searching with her eyes for an exit close enough that she could make an escape without being caught.

No such luck. The only door in her line of vision was across the room, and the two floating creatures had already seen her. "Ah, finally awake, are we?" the male asked with a grim smile that showed off his two fangs.

"W-what are you going to do with me?" Riley stammered, scooting backwards, trying desperately to put as much distance as possible between herself and these strange people.

"We're gonna – " the one with the Southern accent began, but the other – apparently her husband – cut her off.

"Why don't you leave our new guest to me, and go see if Foop has made all of the necessary preparations?"

She smiled broadly, and, with a cry of, "Okie dokie!" disappeared. Riley gaped at the place she had been standing.

What were these creatures?

"Who are you? What do you want?" Riley asked again, and he smiled at her again, his fangs glistening.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Anti Cosmo, ruler of the anti fairies. And you would be?"

Riley barely heard the question as her mind raced. Anti Cosmo? What a strange name. What were anti fairies? Anti meant opposite…that she knew…so they were the opposite of fairies. But fairies didn't exist, right?

"Your name?" Anti Cosmo asked again.

At first, Riley clamped her mouth shut, then shrugged. What would be the harm in telling him her name? He already knew who her parents were. And, she had to admit, he didn't seem that bad. For a kidnapper. "Riley," she said at last, her voice shaky but firm.

After a few moments of silence, she slowly stood up to face him. "So. Are you gonna tell me why you decided to kidnap me out of nowhere?"

"Ah yes. Well, to be honest, Riley, we assumed you were your mother, based on your hair and eyes." At this, Riley tugged lightly on the ends of her long hair. It was blond, just like her mother's…but also streaked with brown. Her eyes were the same bright blue as Lexi's as well.

"People do tell me I look like my mom," she said softly, and he chuckled. "But wait a minute. I heard you telling that other person something about me having 'hybrid powers.' I just want to let you know that if you wanted someone with powers, you've got the wrong girl. I'm a normal person."

Anti Cosmo's chuckle turned into a full, loud laugh. Riley jumped back a bit. Then the anti fairy began to speak, as he led her over to a chair on the other side of the room. "Riley, have a seat. I have some things to explain to you."

Once she was seated, he floated in front of her, a cup of tea appearing in his hand. "Now where should I begin…oh yes! With your mother. Your parents have been keeping secrets from you, Riley, for your whole life. You are most certainly not a regular girl.

"Both of your parents grew up with miserable childhoods, so they were given fairy godparents to make their lives better." He spat out the words "fairy godparents" like they were vile. "I am the anti counterpart of your father's godfather, the utter imbecile Cosmo.

"You see, your mother is a fairy hybrid, and so are you. She has the ability to move objects with her mind, turn invisible, and even fly for short periods of time. She and your father have been keeping all of this a secret from you, Riley."

"They probably just wanted to protect me," she mumbled, not believing her ears and yet strangely, feeling like he was telling the truth. She was only part human? This was incredible!

Anti Cosmo shook his head in a way that implied he felt sorry for her. "What would they have to protect you from? Me?" He laughed in a way that showed he found that utterly ridiculous. "No, my dear. They were hiding your true identity from you because they didn't want you to be able to have the fun that they had when they were your age. They've been hiding multiple secrets from you."

Riley's head was spinning with all of this new information. "Maybe you're telling the truth. But maybe you're not. How do I know you're not making this up?"

"Stand up," he instructed, and when she was standing, he floated forward and tapped her on the head with a black wand, sending dark sparkles floating around her to the ground.

Less than five seconds later, Riley was floating in midair, her hands glowing light pink. "Whoa!" she cried. "How did you do that?"

"I didn't do anything, Riley," he insisted. "I just gave your magic the extra push that it needed to unlock. You're doing this all on your own." He smiled a bit wickedly.

Riley didn't notice. "Wow! You were right! I really am a fairy hybrid!" She danced in midair for a moment, then stopped short. "How do I get down?"

"Picture a brick," he told her with a shrug, and she filled her mind with such an image. Immediately, she dropped to the ground. He instructed her next to snap her fingers. The second she did, her hands stopped glowing. "See?"

"Wow," Riley breathed again, feeling light-headed. "I can't believe this. So my parents really were hiding all of this from me? All these years…I can't believe they never told me about any of this."

Anti Cosmo shook his head, his expression taking on one of disdain. "You don't want to live with parents like that, who don't trust you and keep secrets from you, do you?"

She shook her head uncertainly. "No…"

"Then how about I make you a deal? I'll show you how to use your powers, if you live with my wonderful wife, son, and I here."

"What about my parents?"

"Don't worry about them. I have magic, Riley. They'll simply think you're at a sleepover at a friend's house every night…you do have friends, correct?"

"Yes!" Riley replied, stunned that such a question would be asked.

"Your mother and father will suspect nothing," Anti Cosmo assured her, a glint appearing in his eye. He snapped his fingers, as if a thought suddenly occurred to him. "Do you have any siblings?"

Riley opened her mouth, then closed it. What if he decided to bring Kaylee and Connor here too? Anti Cosmo seemed nice enough to her, but her siblings were too young to understand. She couldn't let him take them from their parents, especially her four-year-old brother!

"No," she said after a pause. "It's just me."

"Excellent." He flicked his wand, then gestured for Riley to follow him out the door. "Then allow me to show you your new room."

Author's Note: Yes, I know that Anti Cosmo's being nice to her (except for when he's tricking her into thinking her parents never cared about her). That's just to get Riley to trust him. His true colors will show, don't worry! R&R!
