Ameril's Decision

Ameril hurried home and grabbed the doorknob to the door and yanked it open. She went into the kitchen and saw that her mother was sweeping up the mess that had been made on the floor. It was littered with glass and spilled dry goods, not to mention not so nice liquids, like molasses. A teapot was upon the stove, boiling water within it.

Ameril stood there, her arms folded, glaring at her mother. Her mother suddenly noticed her and stopped what she was doing. "Is there something the matter?"

"You kicked Chase out of the house," Ameril commented.

"You mean that friend of yours…" her mother said. "He should still be crashed upstairs due to Ariel's over exuberance you might say."

"He isn't… I ran into him on the way out of here," Ameril commented. "He's of the opinion that he isn't wanted here and he isn't to come back."

"He said that to you?" her mother asked.

"That and a whole lot more… Arie didn't exactly make him feel like he was welcome here either," Ameril commented.

"If it is about her attacking him, I'm sorry that happened, but there is nothing I can do to change that," her mother commented.

"It's what she did before she attacked him… when she still thought he was human," Ameril commented.

"Arie was trying to hide something from me," her mother commented, turning off the stove.

"She was trying to flirt with him, hit on him… he was very uncomfortable with this," Ameril commented.

"She… she what!" her mother said, her cheeks turning red from anger.

"I am so mad at her… I can't believe she did this to one of my friends," Ameril commented.

"Well… she's grounded… I'll discuss it later with her exactly how long she's grounded," her mother commented.

"You're actually grounding her?" Ameril asked.

"Ameril… what she did was wrong," her mother commented. "…even if he is a Dark Faerie."

"You still don't like him… well… let me tell you this… if I had decided to date him, you wouldn't have been able to stop me, so you won't be able to stop me from being friends with him," Ameril said, storming up the stairs.

"I see your home… he's a moron you know…" her sister said peering through the doorway.

Ameril glared at her and pushed on the door, shoving her way in. "Don't talk about him like that! And if I ever catch you bothering him ever again, I will make your own life miserable!"

"I wasn't bothering him," Arie commented, flopping onto her bed.

"So… you weren't hitting on him?" Ameril asked.

"Duh no… why would I hit on a human, let alone a dumb Dark Faerie," Arie said, only to be hit with a pillow. Arie pushed it away. "What was that for?"

"Don't you dare not think that I don't believe him!" Ameril commented

"So you trust a Dark Faerie more then your own sister! Please!" Arie commented.

"You're doing this making an assumption that he is just like the Dark Faeries… all of them! I have gotten to know him Arie, before either of us knew he was a Dark Faerie! So don't judge him as you defiantly don't know him!"

"He tricked you… he knew he was a Dark Faerie!" Arie commented.

"You're the dumb one… that would mean that he knew there were Boy Faeries too… and certainly if he had known, the Faerie Queen would never have sent him on the quest," Ameril commented.

"Ameril… if you remain friends with him, they'll make fun of you… you know who I mean,"

"You mean the girls at school that I used to hang out with?" Ameril commented. "If that is so, we aren't friends anymore. By spending time with him, I learned I'm not happy with the person I was… and I plan on changing. Plus… I'll just hang out with Rose."

"Rose! That hippy Faerie!" Arie commented.

"Rose isn't a hippie Faerie… she's just very unique," Ameril commented.

"But…" Arie commented, only to be interrupted by her sister.

"I'm not happy with you… this discussion is ended," Ameril said, heading over to her room. She grabbed some things and tossed them into her bag and then headed down the stairs.

"Ameril… please tell me you aren't running away," Arie asked from her room.

"I'm going to go and stay with a friend with awhile," Ameril commented. "Even if mom is more accepting, I can't deal with you!"

"But!" Arie said, but Ameril was gone.

As Ameril was leaving, her mother stopped her. "I know you're angry at me… and your sister, but… I don't have a problem with that boy."

"Mom… of course you do… you told him to get out of the house," Ameril commented.

"That was before he apologized to me for the mess in the house… Dark Faeries never apologize Ameril… he needs a friend to keep them from tricking him into doing things he doesn't want to do. Which I dread is going to happen," she commented.

Ameril stared at her mother for a few minutes then hugged her. "Thank you so much."

"You just tell him that I welcome him… though… Ameril… I don't think he should come around until Arie is… well, you know…" her mother said. "Though I have a feeling you're going to be gone for awhile too."

"Drop off my school stuff at the Library Faerie's if need be. When I figure out who I'm staying with, I'll tell his mom, and she can get the information to you," Ameril commented.

"His mother… you mean the Library Faerie is adopting him?" her mother asked. "Why not sooner?"

"She was under orders to keep that he was a Faerie a secret, so until it was found out, she couldn't adopt him," Ameril said, her mother hugging her. "And thank you for understanding for once."
