Hi! Sorry I didn't update, I was having a case of writers block. Anyway, I
got over it and now I'm updating again!
Chapter 6!!!!!!
It had been a couple weeks since Emma's range was found. Today she had some free time so she decided to use it by walking through the forest, to just see what she could see. (a/n: and all that she could see see see, was the bottom of the big blue sea sea sea!) She took a long stroll down the various paths and animal trails, enjoying the good weather.
As she chatted with all the new trees she just couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. One time the feeling grew so strong she spun around, trying to surprise whoever was watching her. The only thing she could see were more trees, they asked about her strange behavior and she only sighed and turned back around.
Pretty soon she started to hear little rustlings in the brush around her, but again, whenever she tried to glance at whatever it was, It vanished. Now she was starting to get annoyed, she had just reached a nice serene pond and the rustling was starting all over again, disturbing the peace and quiet. Emma suddenly heard giggling, and couldn't resist the urge to turn around. Turning to see whatever it was, she discovered nothing there. I must be going crazy she thought and looked back at the lake. This time however, she did not see the lake.
Intense green eyes stared back at her from a small pearly-green face. The entire creature was only about the size of Emma's hand, but looked to be full grown. It looked thin and agile, like it could be blown over by the slightest breeze. Wild green hair with apparently leaves sticking out of it grew from its head, and its clothes were made of tiny leaves all stitched together.
"you're a strange looking tree." It said with a giggle in a high sing-song voice.
"Well you're the strangest thing I've ever seen ever. Not that that's a bad thing." Emma quickly added.
Suddenly the thing climbed up on her head in a quick, practiced motion. "All sorts of trees I've seen, but never one like you. What type of tree are you?" It asked, plainly curious.
"I don't know exactly, I've been told I'm a human, and I've been told I'm a tree, I'm rather confused myself really." Emma replied. "what are you?"
"I'm a treeling silly!" it giggled back. "my name's Shalian."
"I'm Emma, pleased to meet you." Emma did her best to imitate the way Maura always greeted important guests.
"pleased to meet me? What a funny saying!" Shalian laughed, or rather giggled again.
"Shalie, you're too giggly." An apparently boy treeling appeared in front of Emma and Shalian.
"Well you're too serious! Really Eppas, you need to lighten up." Shalian said with a frown. Too bad for her Eppas wasn't listening.
"What kind of tree are you?" he asked Emma. That question is starting to get annoying. Emma thought.
Luckily for her, Emma didn't need to answer, Shalian was going to for her. "Emma, doesn't know what kind of tree she is." The treeling said in a know- it-all voice. "we were having a nice talk before you came."
"Were you both the things following me then?" Emma asked.
"Yes, and don't try to deny it Eppas! You were too so there." Shalian said but Eppas glared at her.
"Well, I have to go home now. It was nice meeting you, by the way, do you know how to get back to the palace?" Emma asked.
"Of course, the place where all the humans live. Right over there. Bye!" they both said at the same time.
"bye" Emma called back, heading towards the palace, Daine had got her a room there. And they call me strange. She thought, shaking her head.
