Chapter 8: Era of Respect
When I woke up the first thing I saw was a bunch of eyes starring at me. At
first I thought I might have been bees. It's happened before. My sister
accidentally put a shrinking spill in me. Next thing I knew bees were huge
and around me. Luckily May Ling found me and made me my size again.
As my vision cleared I saw that it wasn't bees looking at me. Snowy, my family, my aunt, and elf friends were looking at me with concern. I tried to sit up but pain engulfed me.
I looked up at them. Their mouths moving at vivid speeds but I heard nothing. It was silent. The others seemed to have heard. Oh holy shit! Have I gone deaf? Fu%#
I saw Elle, Beryl, and Ashley flying about in their demi-size forms healing my wounds. I guess they sensed my confusion because they flew up to me asking questions. I shook my head softly and whispered or I think I did, because I really couldn't hear myself, "I can't hear you."
Everyone heard me. All of them looked down shocked expressions on their face. The talking stopped automatically. Or I think it did because their mouths weren't moving. Elle hit me with a bright pink light. Ugh! I hate pink and I was surrounding by that wrenched color for a few seconds. Well my hearing returned at least. I heard Legolas say "Are you alright now? Are you able to hear us?" I nodded my head up and down the best I could, I mean I was laying down flat on my back after all.
My aunt gave me a glass of clear liquid. I examined it wanted to know which potion I was just given. I determined it was a sleeping potion. I took a gulp and knew my prediction was correct. It had the sweet sensational taste of a ripe berry and I savored the taste.
An hour later I work up and heard cheering in the main hall. A party probably. I slipped onto the floor snapped my fingers and my warrior clothes changed into a buckskin top and skirt.
I walked out into the main hall. Suddenly all the talking stopped. All eyes were on me. Well here we go again. Then the room exploded with applause. Just to make sure it wasn't acting I read a few minds. I smiled. The respect they gave me was real not some bogus plan I aunt might have made up.
I finally gained the respect I deserved. It was a new era of respect where every one was appreciated for what they did.
