The hand grouped around for something to grasp. Adrienne was freaked out but reached forward and took a chance. The hand curved into her own, and soon an arm and head were working their way free from the waters captivity. A person slowly rose out of the water. A skimpily dressed woman she was. Hardly any of her body was covered. Once she was fully out of the water Adrienne wanted to run, but she simply stared in horror and shock at this body before her. The woman slowly sat up after a minuet and shook herself out. Adrienne then realized the girl's skin had a bluish tint to it.
"Well, it is about time someone came down here. Gosh it's been awfully long." The girls voice was whining and her form of speaking was anything but proper. She took no notice of Adrienne but suddenly seemed to see her. She tilted her head to the side sending her blond curls cascading all over the ground. Her mouth hung open slightly as if she were stupid.
"Who are you?" Adrienne asked finally plucking up the courage to do something about the situation. The girl flung her hair over her shoulder and stood up. Adrienne followed and found the girl at least four inches shorter then herself.
"I am Shaylee, Fairy princess." She stuck out her hand as if she wanted Adrienne to kiss it. She merely gave her a disgusted look.
"Then what are you doing above ground?" Adrienne asked trying to make herself as rude as possible, but nevertheless it didn't faze Shaylee. She wrinkled her nose up at Adrienne who felt as though she were two feet shorter then this 'fairy'.
"You know the Great Mother Goddess. Yeah well she was supposed to come tell me what to do next. Cause she says that I'm supposed to be working with this guy or something. I don't know, don't ask me. All I know is that you are supposed to be a guy." She stopped there to inspect her fingernails. Adrienne turned around and started to walk away hoping that this was just a nightmare.
"Hey, you can't just leave me out here?" Shaylee protested. Adrienne turned back on her heel and bit her bottom lip. The girl was leaning on her hip and had raised a greenish looking eyebrow.
"Yes, I can. Why don't you just go back into the water?" Adrienne said, but as fast as lightening can shoot from the sky Shaylee was standing in front of her looking up with big dark green eyes.
" Fine if there's no boy I'll tell you. 'The evil is spreading' there now you know, gosh. Anyway so if you want to visit me again any time soon make sure you bring some food ok?" She tilted her head to me again as if she were talking to a five year old. Adrienne squinted her eyes at Shaylee, and watched her run daintily then dive back into the water not even making a ripple.
Adrienne ran as fast as she could back to the Shang palace. Her breath was coming out in gasps as she stumbled into the library. Man, I didn't think I was that out of shape, Adrienne thought. She collapsed into a cushion then a moment later sprang to her feet as someone entered the library. It was only Peter. He looked stunned to see her.
"Did I interrupt anything?" HE asked eyeing Adrienne nervously. All she could find the strength to do was to stand there looking at each other. Finally Adrienne took a step forward.
"Peter, do you know anything about that lake down by the gardens?" Peter looked surprised at first then his eyes became smaller.
"You didn't go down to that lake, did you?" He voice quieted as he approached the 'did you' part. Adrienne could feel her face turning red. What had she done now? She simply nodded to Peter's question. He whistled a high sound, and ran a hand through his auburn hair. His blue/ gray eyes became interested.
"Did you meet Shaylee?" He asked as if sharing a secret. Adrienne looked around the room as if someone would just suddenly spring from a bookshelf.
"Yes." Was all she managed to get out. Peter smiled a flattering smile and walked further toward her. He nodded his head a few times then landed himself in a cushion. His muscles relaxed and he sighed a genuine sigh.
"Well, what did you think of her?" Peter smiled at the face Adrienne gave him. She blew air through her nose and sat in a chair opposite him.
"I think she is, well to tell the truth I really don't know what to think of her." Adrienne stared off into space trying to think of some word to describe Shaylee.
"I didn't like her the first time I met her either." Peter's comment brought Adrienne back to the room they were in. She gaped opened mouthed at him.
"You know Shaylee?" Adrienne scooted closer to Peter. He nodded and sighed gravely. "How? When did you meet her?" Adrienne watched as Peter turned to look off into space himself. In his eyes she could see something. She wasn't sure what it was. Sadness, regret, anger. She didn't know, but she only knew she wasn't sure she wanted the answer anymore.
"I tell you the answers to these question's in do time. Until then I'll leave your life alone, if you don't ask me questions about mine." Peter gazed deep into adrienne's eyes and she felt as if he wouldn't need questions answered he could just look deep enough into her.
"Fine." Adrienne answered brqusly, but was rewarded with a smile from Peter. She couldn't do anything but smile back.
That night she lay awake in bed doing everything in her power to get to sleep, but nothing seemed to be working. So, silently she crept out of bed down many showed halls into the moonlit courtyard. There she got into a fighting position, and started some exercises. She knew if she got caught she would be in big trouble, but at the moment with the moonlight and the soft ground beneath her feet she didn't care. Oh but for the consequences she would have to pay she would care!
So, here I am updating after what is like forever. I know it's been quite a long time, but I'm also working on another story. I thought about not going on with this one, but I hope that if you people want me to go on you'll show me be reviewing. Thank you love you guys!
