Chapter 04 The Friendship is established
Quanktumspirit: "This is another excellent chapter. Please review."
Elizabeth was left alone to think, the pixies and fairies were enemies? Why didn't she know? Despite this, she wanted to be friends with Felicity. That would mean starting a secret friendship, would she dare? Elizabeth nodded and decided to do it.
As she had decided she will have her first real friend, she thought back to the race she was forced to know of as her 'family'.
She has now been locked up for 2 days, and not one of the Pixies had returned, to fight for her freedom or sent a search party out to locate her again and report back to her mother.
'Does my mother even love me? Does my father or anyone in my Pixie colony love me? I don't think so, I am just one more pixie to work for the head pixie and be enslaved by them... why are we all so different? Why can't we be friends with the Fairies?' Elizabeth asked herself upset.
She curled up tighter and continued to cry.
During the two days that she waited for Felicity to return she saw a different Fairy coming to her with food and water.
She thanked them very kindly and ate carefully, then handed the plates, bowls, knives, forks, spoons and cups back without showing any sort of a threat.
What Elizabeth was also upset about is that the Fairies bringing her food didn't talk to her or asked how her day was. She was just seen as a 'pet' to be kept alive. Not worth sharing a 'hello' with.
'Well at least I have Felicity,' Elizabeth thought as she waited for her friend.
Hoping she wasn't forgotten.
Two days later, when Felicity came back, as promised, she handed Elizabeth her lunch. Elizabeth took the tray to see a sandwich, a salad, water and an apple.
"Thank you, Felicity." Elizabeth said, taking the tray.
Felicity sat down to talk to Elizabeth while the two ate. Felicity had a look of worry on her face. Elizabeth, being the kind pixie she was, noticed.
"What's the matter?" Elizabeth asked her guardian.
Felicity sighed before speaking.
"The council won't let you go unless you can prove you won't hurt us." Felicity explained.
Elizabeth nodded, "Makes sence. My own presence could be deemed a dangerous threat to your kind. The war between the Pixies and Fairies have existed since we were created."
"That is correct. But how are you going to prove it?" Felicity asked her.
Elizabeth shrugged her shoulder, "No idea, but I will give it my all."
Felicity then had an idea, seeing this as a golden opportunity, she turned to Felicity with a question.
"Would you like to be friends? It would ease the tention between us and maybe as well the tention between the Fairies and Pixies." Elizabeth sugested.
Felicity smiled and nodded before hugging Elizabeth. However, there was one thing holding them back. Their species.
"But, we're supposed to be enemies. Our species are." Felicity said.
"So, our friendship will be a secret. As long as you promise me not to tell anyone I promise to keep it a secret as well." Elizabeth explained.
This made Felicity smile and she nodded her head.
"Let's be friends then." Felicity said.
"Faithful friends forever." Elizabeth said.
Once that was decided, they pulled in for another hug. As they pulled back, Elizabeth had an idea.
"Say Felicity, now that we have made our friendship stand, can we make it officially?" Elizabeth offered.
Felicity blinked a bit, "How?"
"Well, I've seen some humans having a sort of band on their hands, and call it a 'friendship bracelet', how about we make one as well, but keep it hidden under our long sleeves. If we look at them we are then thinking about each other." Elizabeth offered.
"Sure. 'll drop by the Tinker workshop and see if I can find something to use." Felicity said.
Elizabeth nodded, "And I'll see if I can find something in here. See you in a bit at sun down."
Felicity nodded her head.
Felicity flew away from the prison cells and flew up to the Tinker work shop. She knew one Fairy there, Tinkerbell who was obsessed with lost things, she works there almost all the time.
Felicity knocked on the door where she knew Tinkerbell's workshop was. And true to her guess, she heard various rattle and banging in there.
Tinkerbell flew to the door and opened it.
"Hu? Oh Felicity, welcome. What's wrong?" Tinkerbell asked as she was burning something.
Felicity scratched over her ear, she couldn't tell Tinkerbell about her forming a secret friendship, so she decided to go with a fashion way.
"Well Tinkerbell, I saw something on a piece of paper, and I would like to re-create it. May I try?" Felicity asked her.
Felicity showed Tinkerbell the sketch she has made during her trip up, it was of two amulets, with a picture inside it and when combined at the other end you could read the words 'best friends' on it.
Tinkerbell smiled, "Good idea, I have a few scrap metal pieces, if you need any help I'll help you."
"Thank you and yes, I'm not that good in mining." Felicity said.
Tinkerbell nodded her head, together they melted some old golden pieces, Tinkerbell held onto the metal piece as Felicity was taught to hammer against it with all her strength.
Once it was flat, she took a sharp metal long piece, and cut it into a heart shape, then split it in two. As the form was complete Tinkerbell pulled a thin piece form the tops of both and managed to create a second duplicate.
She connected a handle of some sort and Felicity could open and close them easily, then she wrote on it: Best Friends. One half had: Be Frie written on, and the second half had st nds. So once connected the words 'Best Friends' could be read.
Once everything was in place she hammered it down. And then the necklace was finished.
"There, sorry, but I have some more orders to complete, see you soon Felicity." Tinkerbell said and went back to her plans.
"Will do. Thank you Tinkerbell." Felicity said, but before she could leave Tinkerbell looked up.
"Oh and Felicity, me and the 'gang' would like to go together on a tour flight, with the threat of Pixies over our heads we all want to scout together the areas off to make sure none of the other four seasons have been damaged or anything like that." Tinkerbell said.
Felicity nodded, but then she stopped and giggled, "And you get to see your twin sister: Periwinkle again in the Winter season. Oh my aren't you slick Tinkerbell."
Tinkerbell blushed, "That is not the reason, I'm just concerned."
"Sure and sure you are." Felicity said.
Ever since Tinkerbell has found her twin sister Periwinkle, they both have not wasted any opportunity to be together, they were even tighter then the best of friends Felicity has ever seen.
Quanktumspirit: "Brilliant. Please review. Will Elizabeth ever get home? And can their friendship stand together?"
