Fairy 8
"What exactly do you need to teach me?" said Danny
Nuada was staring at her and it was making her nervous.
"a great many things but first I must awaken you" said Nuada
"awaken me?" said Danny
"yes there is some part of you that is hidden I must bring that out" said Nuada
"ah why and will it hurt?" said Danny
"for one my world is dangerous more so to one who looks human" said Nuada
Danny looked confused for a second.
"wait but I am human does that mean that.." she said
"still yourself child nothing shall harm you while I breathe" said Nuada
she calmed the rising wave of terror by fully believing his words.
"and you are only part human" he said
he wrinkled his face in a plainly disgusted look. She gave him a worried look as he walked across the room.
"as to it hurting it may some it depends how deeply that side of you is buried or if your father put up any blocks" said Nuada
"blocks?" said Danny
"magics designed to keep certain abilities blocked" said Nuada
"oh!" said Danny
her eyes going wide
"wouldn't that have kept me from ah bringing you two back?" said Danny
Nuada tilted his head like he was actually considering the question.
"in most instances yes but he used blood magic which is infinitely stronger than most unless it's ley line magic" said Nuada
"ley line?" said Danny
"grids of power that bisect the planet and give all things life" said Nuada
Danny frowned at him, that made some sort of sense.
"oh really then explain deserts" said Danny
"easy the lines flow through and only surface in certain areas" said Nuada
"certain areas?" said Danny
"oasis's" said Nuada
"oh, ok ah so how are we going to awaken me?" said Danny
"well the traditional way is to use blood magic but you've already lost enough for one week" said Nuada
"ok so whats left?" said Danny
Nuada sighed and turned towards her.
"provoking your survival instinct" said Nuada
"provoking my survival instinct?" said Danny
"how are you going to do that?" said Danny
he looked at his feet murmured a prayer and drew his lance with one smooth movement. He intended to only stab her nothing that would be a kill shot. Hoping in her ignorance that she would panic. One minute Danny was talking to him the next her shoulder was on fire and his weapon was sticking out of it.
"what the hell?" said Danny
Nuada was eying her warily for some reason
"do you feel anything?" said Nuada
he gave him an incredulous look
"ah yeah its called pain " said Danny
"my apologies Danny I miscalculated perhaps" said Nuada
he with drew the blade and she slid to the floor.
"dur next time give a girl some sort of heads up ok?" said Danny
"you are not angry?" said Nuada
perhaps that was the key he was missing?
"no believe it or not I actually expected it to hurt, not that you would stab me mind but the pain part" said Danny
Nuada tilted his head and rested his lance on his shoulder
"so you are not angry for me stabbing you" said Nuada
"no I forgive you" said Danny
Nuada frowned this was going to be harder than he thought it was going to be. he sighed and paced the floor in frustration. She frowned as she watched him cross the room and then back again.
"ah bleeding over here" said Danny
he turned towards her as if noticing her presence for the first time.
"my apologies again it seems my focus is a bit lax lately" said Nuada
he knelt beside her and put one of his hands over the wound. He closed his eyes and whispered something in that strange language of his. her shoulder stopped hurting and she felt a strange tugging sensation on her skin.
She couldn't resist the urge to look at her shoulder. She pulled back the cloth and stared as the wound slowly closed before her eyes. Her mouth dropped open in shock and she looked over at Nuada. He was still pacing the floor his hand was resting on his chin like he was thinking.
"ah Nuada?" said Danny
he turned back towards her and tilted his head sideways as if considering something. He pursed his lips and then approached her.
"there is another way but I am not sure how comfortable I am using it" said Nuada
"why not?" she said.
he looked away for some reason and for some reason looked nervous to her. he frowned as if considering something.
"because the other method involves something you are not adult enough to experience" he said
her mouth dropped open is shock surly he didn't mean what she thought he did. he looked away from her and she realized that was exactly what he meant.
"oh my gawd it does involve sex doesn't it?" she blurted out.
he narrowed his eyes at my outburst.
"yes now hush that is not appropriate conversation for one so young" he said
his voice sounded like a school teacher scolding an unruly student to her.
"i am sixteen you know, i do know what happens in the bedroom" she said proudly.
he groaned and rested his hand on his forehead. he was frustrated she could tell. her mom did that whenever Danny refused to just let a subject drop. he pinched the bridge of his nose as if he had a headache.
"well it doesn't matter what you know on that subject i will not do such activities with a child let alone one who looks human" he said
he suddenly paced towards the door.
"you are to stay here i will return shortly" he said
Danny watched as he walked out the door leaving her in the small room alone. she watched the door for a few minutes hoping he would come back. when he didn't immediately reappear she started to pace. she was nervous and scared. a part of her just wanted to go home.
This was more of a commitment then she thought it would be originally. she wasn't sure if what Nuada had planned on doing was reversible and if not where would that leave her when this was all over. Nuada would have his sister back but she would lose her humanity. at least if he succeeded with his plan to make her look more like them.
she wouldn't be able to go home if she was altered permanently and she had no where else she could go. was Nuada even thinking about what he was about to do. or was everything a single minded attempt to rescue his sister. she moaned and put her head in her hands. she didn't even know what he expected her to be able to do or if she could do it.
what if he changed her and she had no skills would he drop her like a hot potato? he wasn't fond of humans but would he change her back? she stopped suddenly as a horrifying thought flashed through her mind. he had no problem stabbing her earlier what if he planned to just kill her after-wards.
she hugged herself and let out a whimper of fear. the Nuada that had stabbed her was one scary individual and she had no doubt he could kill her easily. her breath hitched in her chest as she struggled to keep back the panicked sobs that were welling from her chest.
fear held her terrified in its grasp and she briefly thought about just running away. certain her days may already be numbered she reached for the knob and started to turn it. she opened the door slowly and came face to face with the backside of a Grey skinned monstrosity.
Wink's cousin she thought looking up at the creature. he smiled down at her and she tentatively smiled back before ducking back inside. great he had anticipated her attempt at flight. was he really going to hold her prisoner when she had offered to help him?
she heard his voice outside and a few minutes later he was in the room. he looked worried and kept glancing at her funny. he sat down with a sigh and ran a hand through his hair.
"Danny i must confess something to you" he said
