Chapter 9
"Look food!" Xander trumpeted and charged towards a tree. Anya yanked on his ears and he trumpeted again. "What was that for?"
"You can't eat anything here Xander. The food could very well be enchanted.
"I don't care! I'm starved. You don't have the metabolism of an elephant. I do." Xander thumped over to the patch and used his trunk to get the grass and tree leaves. "Wow. This is like having an extra long penis on your face." He observed.
"I can't believe you just said that. That is so disgusting!" Anya shrieked. She pounded on his back with all her might but that didn't hurt the large elephant.
"Who goes there!" Anya jerked her head up and stopped her beating. "This is the fairy princess."
"Let me handle this." Anya whispered, sliding off Xander. "Hi. I'm the nymph Anya."
"I haven't heard of you. What are you wearing?" the fairy flew close to Anya. She seemed bigger in her own land.
"I have been around and to the other realm. Why haven't you left?"
"Are you dumb? Everyone and my brother can leave. But not the family. We are stuck here. It's not fair. He was bad from the beginning. I hate my brother!" She stomped the air.
"So you are not plotting against humans?" Anya was awed. Here she thought the fairy world was against her.
"Are you feeling ok? We would cause mischief if we could but we can't. It's not fair."
"Maybe I can help. I met some humans when I left. What if we helped you get everyone back and then close the doorway. You could punish everyone that left except me. That way you won't feel so bad." Anya said thinking on the spot. Xander backed into her to show his anger but dared not speak. She shoved him back.
"That sounds ok. But what would you know about closing the gateway? We don't even know how to close it or we would have already." The fairy looked at her suspiciously.
"Remember you have never heard of me? Maybe I know things you don't." Anya said not as confidently as she hoped.
"Fine. Come with me to the castle." The fairy darted off ahead of them.
"That was great Anya. Now we will no doubt be stuck here and if not that than die here."
"Shut up Xander ok? I'm doing the best I can. Which is more than I can say for you. Did you notice that you have turned red from the food?"
"What?" Xander held up his trunk to examine it. "This is all your fault for collecting those herbs. I am breaking up with you as soon as we are back in the real world."
"Are you and your red elephant coming?" The fairy called. Anya raced ahead and tried to act as nymphy as possible.
"Look food!" Xander trumpeted and charged towards a tree. Anya yanked on his ears and he trumpeted again. "What was that for?"
