Hey guys How has everyone been? And I've discovered a problem that I've discovered that I wrote some things wrong in earlier chapters and I do apologise. I was still in the planning stage and was making it up as I go along but now I have a definite plan and I'm gonna stick to it. So that being said, let me do this..
Special thanks to: sugar1997, WritingSoul and whatnameshallitake and there was one other person who's email I accidentally deleted. If you know who you are, please leave your name in the reviews so I can thank you properly!
Jazzy-Booey: Hahaha I'm glad that you like this! And it's good to know that you're excited about it.

"Georgia?!" Haruhi says with shock written all over her face. I couldn't imagine how she felt right now, but in a narcissistic way, she wouldn't know what I'm going through. I can feel my arm about to give out, as its beginning to shake from the strain. I need to get into the house.
I let out a weak chuckle. "Hi Haruhi." I say with a weak voice. My head is starting to hurt and my vision is beginning to fade in and out with black dots dancing around the edges. I can see her mouth moving as if to speak but she can't find her voice. For a logical person like Haruhi, it would take so much convincing that this was real.
"This can't be real. This is so illogical, it must be a dream." She reasons with her hands on my shoulders. I groan harder when the pain yet again increases.
"Real or not, can you please just get me inside?" I say slightly frustrated. It seems that she took my advice because she had put herself under my arm and helped me walk towards the door, which as we were heading to it, opened for us with Winter on the other side. My little bird flew back into the house while I and Haruhi stumbled to the back door.
I feel...I feel so dizzy now…
I groan as my head begins to throb with pain, and my vision is getting so much worse. I don't know which was is up anymore, and I can feel myself swaying from side to side. Thank god Haruhi was there to steady me. "I fe...feel so dizzy." I say and I can hear my voice slurring. My vision is now an assortment of shapes and everything said just echoes in my ears, not making any sense. I think Haruhi put me down or something because I know I'm not up right. My head is spinning and I have to close my eyes.
I'm...so...tired…
…
Haruhi P.O.V
"This can't be real!" I say. "This is so illogical, it must be a dream." I try to reason. This is totally out of the ordinary, and I knew it from the very start. This whole ordeal involving magic and that Artemis fairy (as my dad called her), I knew it couldn't be real! There was something just clawing at the back of my mind, telling me it's not!
"Real or not, can you please get me inside?" She asks. Her voice is shaky and holds so much pain in it. Whether this is a dream or not, I can't leave my friend like this. I put her arm over my shoulder and help her upwards. I could tell she was weak as she relied on me so much, just to walk. This isn't the Georgia I know. She seems so strong all the time and doesn't falter. But now, this is concerning me.
I head towards the house with haste. I am going to assume that this is her place, I'm sure there is a reason she brought us here. There was an almost overwhelming scent of flowers, and I do know that she and her parents own a florist. So my best guess is that this is the back yard. As I got us closer to the door, a daunting realisation washed over me, the door is probably locked.
But it then opened. Out of the blue the door just opened with almost no explanation. Not that I'm complaining for the lucky event, but it's just a little concerning. There was a red flash at the door, and then it was gone. Was that her bird? I remember it opening the door before, so I don't see a reason why it can't do it again. Georgia begins to tilt to the side, but I catch her. At least we've made it through the door.
She's getting worse, so I've gotta move quickly. " "I fe...feel so dizzy." she mumbles tilting yet again, as her eyes begin to droop closed, before they would snap open. She's trying to fight it, but she would have lost so much blood, how on Earth is she even able to stand? There are some people in this world that won't stop fighting, and I really think she is one of them.
"Yeah, I know. But you'll be fine." I tell her whilst her head is rolling from side to side, whilst she is trying to stay conscious.
"Just put her on the couch!" A feminine voice calls from somewhere else in the house. Oh, good here mother is home, at least I'm not on my own. I place a pillow under her head making her comfortable.
Another red blur passes in front of my face, as something is dropped into my lap. It was a cream of some sorts, definitely not a brand I have seen at the super market. It was a seaweed base ointment, labelled 'Miracle Healer' along with a bunch of bandages.
Georgia's eyes began to shut, and they are opening at a slower place…she's loosing. I grab her hand and speak to her. "Georgia, hey! Listen to me; you've got to stay awake. Do you hear me?" I yell at her. Where is her mother?
"y...ya…" She could barely mumble. That red blur came back and landed on the coffee table behind me.
"We need to get that ointment on her now!" That voice says with urgency. It was coming from in the room, but there was no one there. But if the voice was helping, and I can't ignore it.
In a rush, I pull up her shirt revealing a cut only a few centimetres deep, but it did look rather painful. I hastily open the jar of ointment, and scoop up a reasonable amount on my hand. I begin to lather it around the wound, making sure I get an equal layer all over, some of it mixes with her already spilt blood, but the cream seems to stop, almost instantly. It must be hard to get through. I notice Georgia wincing in pain as I touch the wound and I can't help but grimace. I then grab the bandage, getting it ready for when I sit her up.
Her eyelids are shut tight with pain, and her hair is sticking to her forehead from the sweat she's emitting. "I'm going to sit you up now." I tell her, but there was next to no response beside a groan. I sit her up right, allowing for me to work quickly as I wrap the bandage around her waist multiple times over; making sure it was good and tight. I use the little clip before placing her back down on the couch.
I let out a breath that I didn't realise I was holding. This feels almost too real for a dream.
"You did well Haruhi." The female voice calls from the room.
"Thank you?" I say like a question, standing up from sitting next to the couch. I glance around the room, there was not much, just a television and DVD player, a few pot plants, a coffee table and an arm chair, but unless this person can be an invisible contortionist, I doubt there in here.
A laugher echo's through the room and I'm more confused than ever.
"Oi, down here." It calls. Slowly I turn my head to the coffee table, and find myself staring at her pet red bird. "Surprise!" It exclaims.
I go wide-eyed as she spoke. A bird….spoke. "You...talk?" I gawk at her. My brain is beginning to hurt now. There is way too much going on that I can't explain.
"Trust me Hun, this ain't the craziest thing you've seen tonight, let alone what you will see in the future." She says as she lefts herself of the table and flitters in front of my face. "Want some tea?" She offers, before flying into the kitchen.
I hesitantly follow her, keeping a long glance on Georgia as I did so. "But what about Georgia? Shouldn't we be with her?" I ask concerned. The bird doesn't really seem bothered by this at all.
"She'll be fine, she just needs rest." She says grabbing a cup in her claws and placing it on the table. She then grabbed a tea bag and placed it inside the cup.
"She just got cut deeply by a knife and you say all she needs is rest? I don't get any of this." I say collapsing into the one of the chairs at the table. This is all one big dream, and I'm going to wake up soon in my bed and everything will be back to normal. The whole fairy thing was a hoax for publicity and Georgia will be at the club tomorrow completely fine.
"Hun, this ain't a dream. Believe me, you better get used to this." She flicks on the jug for some hot water; can she even lift the jug? "And no, I can't lift the jug, do you mind giving me a hand?" She asks. I stare at her wide-eyed, I she just voiced my thoughts twice in a row! This is too complex, even for me.
I stand up and grab the boiling jug of water and pour it in my cup. "Would you like one too?" I ask, and she laughs yet again.
"No, I'm a bird. I don't drink tea." She says like it's obvious. What? Are you kidding me? The bird laughs, and that reminds me, I don't think I know her name. "My name is Winter."
I sit back down on the chair, with one hand on my head. "How do you keep doing that?" I mutter.
She lands on the table in front of me, tilting her head with confusion. I can now see where Georgia gets it from. "Do what, read your thoughts? It's quite simple Hun. You're a fairy too."
"WHAT?!" I shout before I cover my mouth, realising that it was probably a bit loud. "Ok, I take it back. This is all a dream." As sharp pinch on my arm shocked me and I didn't see it coming. It was Winter, she did it.
"It's doesn't look like you are."
You know what? I'm not going to bother. I'm just going to give up, sit here and listen. "Please, continue."
It looks like she smiles at me; I don't know how considering she's a bird but nothing else makes sense tonight. "You are important, to Earth and to Georgia. Although she does not know it yet, is fighting a battle that she cannot win alone. In fact, the two of you cannot fight it alone, but you need each other. Haruhi, your powers are so much more powerful than you think. And so is Georgia, she hasn't even scraped the surface of her power yet, but she will get better." She explains. I can't help but look at her blankly and I think she notices, "So, to sum it all up, you're a fairy and you need to help Georgia save the worlds."
I still look at her dumbfounded. How could I not be? I'm sure any logical person would be completely dumbstruck by this situation, but there are two different things which are clawing at the back of my mind regarding what she said. "How do you know all of this? How would you know I'm the one you need, how do you even know I have magic powers or whatever to begin with?"
She pauses for a moment, as if pondering how to say this. "I may be older then I look," She begins but doesn't elaborate, "And I know it's you, I can sense it and even Georgia can sense it, and it's in your destiny. Both of your destinies. I'm here to guide the two of you, but I shouldn't even be saying this much." That was really philosophical of her. Is it just me or is this beginning to feel like some sort of stupid, cliché anime?
I look at her with curiosity, eye brows furrowed. "Why not? So even she doesn't know this?" Winter shakes her head, silently saying no. "Then why tell me?"
"Look, what you have to understand is that Georgia mustn't know about her destiny. But what we are meant to do is guide and aid her in it. Will you swear on your life that you won't tell Georgia about anything we've talked about?" She looks me dead in the eye; it's almost scary if you take out the fact that she's a little bird. But her words, they make so much sense, and her eyes, they say she's telling the truth.
"I swear." I tell her, and I'm completely honest. This is beginning to seem to real to be a dream. Even if this is still a dream and I'm going to wake up in my bed, I might as well have fun with this, but still…"It doesn't make any sense though."
Winter sighs. "All you Earth folk care about is logic. It's rather annoying." She complains.
"Of course. We like realism, I like realism. Having a fairy in town started to make me think otherwise, but still there are so many things that don't make sense! For one the existence of magic." I really don't know how to take this. Should I be pleased about it? Or should I study myself, or, should I be terrified?
"Girl, you will learn more, sooner than you think." She says. It seems that her speech pattern is beginning to change. Before she was more, how do you say, proper and formal. Maybe this conversation is done for now, but I would still like to know so much more. And I do think I should be watching over Georgia, she's hurt because of me and I want to make sure she's ok.
"Would it be ok if I stay the night? I would like to watch over Georgia and help her." I ask politely, I'm sure my Dad wouldn't mind about it, in fact I'm sure he would be thrilled at the fact that I'm spending time with a girl, even though she may be unconscious.
With the nod of her head she says, "You're welcome to stay as long as you like. Do you need a phone to call you father?"
I hum in response, before she flies over to the corner of the kitchen bench, where the land line lies. "Thanks." I mutter as I pick up the white, plastic phone. It was cordless so I walked into the nearby hallway for the slightest piece of privacy, but I don't really mind. The sound of the keys being presses echoed through the hall way, each one giving a different tone as I call the number of my dad's work. It began to ring, once, then twice, then three times. But just as the fourth one happened, there was a voice on the other end.
"Hello, how may I help you?" A somewhat distorted voice answers, but I recognise who it is.
"Hey Dad, it's Haruhi." I say into the phone. I hear a slightly confused hum on the other end before he becomes ecstatic.
"Haruhi my darling! I wasn't expecting a call from you! Is everything ok? Do you need your Daddy with you?" He rambles into the phone.
I chuckle into the phone. "Haha, no Dad. Actually I have something to ask you."
"NO! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DATE HIM!" He pretty much screams into the phone, and I mentally face palm.
"Dad no. I was wondering if I could stay with my friend tonight. She needs a bit of a hand and its getting late, so she offered for me to stay here." I inform him and he 'ooohh's in realisation.
"No worries my precious daughter. I'm so happy that you're finally having a sleep over with a girl! I can't wait to hear all about it! I love you!" He rambles again. As much as I love him, he can be a real idiot some times.
But still, it makes me smile. "Ok Dad, bye, love you." I tell him before ending the call. As I walk back through the hall way, I glance at the brown haired girl. She her face showed no discomfort as it did before, but instead looked like a peaceful sleeping face one would have. I smile at the fact that my friend is more comfortable now.
Heading back to the kitchen, I find Winter eating from a silver seed dish in the corner of the room. "I have another question." I say breaking the silence in the kitchen.
"Not surprised." She mutters flying back so she can sit on the dining table. "Fire away."
I nod. "I recall you mentioning that we will 'save the worlds', as in plural. Are you saying there is more than one world?" I question. I mean I've heard of the multiple realities theory, but nothing about there being an entire other world out there.
"Ahh, yeah. I was waiting for this question. Well Hun, here's a few more shockers for ya. Besides Earth, there is another realm where people do exist. Well, we aren't human but we can easily resemble it and even be mistaken for it."
Then it clicked in my head. "So Georgia isn't human?"
"Hun, you should've realised that when you saw her wings." She retorts.
I sigh at her. "To be fair, I thought this was all some stupid dream, and I still think it kinda is." Winter rolls her eyes.
"She is gonna kill you for saying that." She mutters shaking her head.
"She's right," A very familiar voice calls from the entrance of the kitchen. There was Georgia, looking healthy as always, just leaning with her arms folded against the door frame. She has a smirk planted on her face. "I will."
…
Georgia P.O.V
…
"She's right," I smirk at Haruhi, "I will." My dark haired friend stands from her chair, mouth hanging on the floor. I think it's safe to say that she's a little shocked.
"Georgia?" She gaps. "You're ok? That injury should have kept you down for at least a weak." She fusses, looking me over and I remove the clip from the bandage because its digging into my side.
"It'll take a lot more than that to keep me down." I say unravelling the white bandage, which had the patterns of blood and Miracle cream remaining on the cloth. Honestly, I feel fine, it's a litter tender but nothing I can't handle. Haruhi stares at me wide eyed, in awe of what remains.
"But...what? There's nothing there!" She says completely astonished.
I laugh at her. "You should seriously see your face right now! You're eyes are gonna pop out of your head." I'm serious, that's how she looks! Haruhi approaches me slowly, almost as if uncertain of a lot of things, but that all disappears in an instant when she tackles me in a hug.
"I'm so glad you're ok!" she says, almost as if she was about to cry. It's sweet to know that she cares. She then pulls out and hits me in the arm, I let out an 'ouch' before she says "And that's for scaring me!"
Hey, I'm pretty sure if I was in her position I would wanna knock the lights out of whoever scared the crap out of me, but I do admire her bravery. As far as I know, she hasn't broken down in tears, cause her face is still dry. She's really something you know. "Ok, I deserved that. But you better sit down, there is a lot to tell you about." I say before going to the fridge and grabbing out the jug of readymade, red cordial. My favourite. "And, for your information this is not a dream. And if you say this is a dream one more time I will have the pleasure of feeding you to the rabbits wrapped in lettuce." I warn her, and I am not kidding, it is annoying as hell and I don't like it.
She looks at me concernedly, but slowly nods her head. "You know that sounds as menacing as a three year old."
"Three year olds are evil!" I exclaim.
"I though you liked kids?" She says, eyebrows raised.
"Only if they're over eight years old!" I counter. I'm not kidding, little kids are creepy. She rolls her eyes. "But that's beside the point. You're a fairy, or witch. I still haven't worked it out yet, but I will eventually. We'll have to wait until you transform, and then we can work out your powers!" the last part I say with a thoughtful tone. Is she a fairy or witch? I don't know, and what powers does she have? "Have you ever done anything magical?" I say pointing hand towards a cup on the bench, and make it fly to me so I can have my cordial.
She looks at me unamused. "If I had, this would be an entirely different story."
"Very true." Why hasn't she had her power unlocked yet? We discover our powers when we're ten or eleven, and from then on we can use them. But why hasn't she? Is it because she doesn't believe? That's probably it. "Anyway back to the topic. Rather than me explaining everything to you, how about you ask questions and I'll answer them, because I will probably explain a lot of stuff that's unimportant and stuff." That and I'm incredibly lazy to explain the entire story because there is one hell of a lot.
She puts a hand under her chin, and her eyes glanced upwards, deep in thought. "Let's start with where are you really from?" She asks, but I can easily tell there are so many more questions circling in the back of her mind.
"Well," how do I start this? Let's go way back in time, "My home realm, where I was born and raised is called Asteria, the name was derived from our creator Astraea, the star goddess. Asteria is split into five different borders, one for each of the main four elements, fire, water, earth and air and the final one is a combined area, which isn't specific to one element. However, there are more than four elements, there actually seven. Water, fire, earth, air, light, darkness and ice. These are the main powers on Asteria, and every witch, fairy or wizard possesses one element. But there are the rarities of magic, which involve music, love and logic. These three are rare and are considered incredible powerful, and in the cliché movie way, love is the strongest and everyone has it you've just gotta unlock it, blah ,blah, blah, mushy lovey stuff."
Haruhi laughs at my little part at the end. "Does that make you a music fairy or something?" She asks, and I shake my head. Here comes the big one.
"No, but it is pretty close. I don't have any of those powers I mentioned. I'm a...special case." I
She looks at me with curiosity. "Special case?"
I let out a sigh, and rub the back of my neck. "Royals get a different kind of power…" I trial off waiting for the news to sink into her brain. I knew it did when her eyes almost popped out of her head.
"WHAT?!" She practically screams. "You're a Royal? As in a Queen?" She says, pure shock written all over her face. I nod at her with my lips pursed.
"More like a Princess...and we, as Royals, become the witch, fairy or wizard of all the natural elements." I tell her, she still has her dumbfounded look on her face.
She blinks a few times before talking again. "So, does that mean that you control all the elements? Like fire, ice, etcetera…"
I nod my head in approval. "Now you're getting it. But my powers don't stop there actually. It eventually becomes a play on words. For example, like how you thought I was a music fairy, in fact it was my magic that makes me good at music.
"So in other words, you cheat?" She raises an eyebrow.
"Not exactly." I say
"Yes she does!" Winter calls, not helping my situation.
"Oi, shhh!" I tell her, earning a small giggle from Haruhi.
Anything I enjoy, or even attempt, I can become naturally good at it. So when I was younger, I played a lot of music and could play almost all instruments, it was my natural talent. The same sort of thing happened with school, I became naturally good at a lot of my subjects without trying...well besides quadratics, I couldn't do that." Haruhi nods in agreement so I'm guessing she found it hard too.
"So, with keeping with the theme of playing with words, I can change the natural look of someone or something to however I please. Watch." I tell Haruhi.
My gaze goes to the bird in the corner eating her seed. She won't know a thing. I out stretch my arm towards her and think of bright pink with green polka dots, then I click. Haruhi gasps at what she saw. Winter was still eating her seeds but her feathers were bright pink, with bright green polka dots on them. I couldn't hold back my laugh, and it spilled out and so did Haruhi. I bang my fist on the table when Winter looked at us strangely.
"What?" She asks, jumping closer to us on her little feet. Haruhi and I laugh harder if that was even possible. I mean we were laughing so hard all ready, and Winter knew something was up. "What did you do Georgia!?" She shouts flying into the air and begins swooping at me. I shout with surprise and duck just in time every time she came back at me.
"Ok, OK!" I shout as I snap my fingers and she was back to normal. Although, she still didn't know what happened.
"And don't do whatever you just did again! I know where you sleep!" She shouts slightly annoyed at the situation. She then flies out of the room, probably to go for a fly or something.
I smile at Haruhi. "See? It's a big play on words. I can even do it to you if you want." I say wiggling my eyebrows, making her laugh before she tell me not to.
"How come you don't act like Royalty?" Haruhi asks. I might as well just show her. I unhook the necklace around my neck and place it in front of Haruhi. "You're locket?"
I nod as she picks it up and examines it. Her brown eyes darted all over the silver locket, taking in every detail before she opened it. "Is that you?" She asks spinning it so I could see what photo she was looking at. It was the picture of me with my Royal family...my real family.
"Yeah, that was me a last year. That is my Royal Family. My mother, Lillyana is the Queen, whereas my father - Aiden, was a Lord form the fire nation. They married and had to children. Roselle, and Azalea-May."
Haruhi tilts her head to the side. "You have two sisters? Where are they?"
I chuckle at her. "Haha, no. My sister is Azalea-May."
"Then who's Roselle?"
I chuckle awkwardly as I know she is going to rapid fire questions at me. "I am…"
She stares at me blankly, and I can see the gears burning in her head turning before she gave up and sat back in her chair. "I've got nothing. Care for an explanation? And I'm also guessing that here comes your dramatic back story?"
"yep. You know me! Drama left right and centre." We both laugh before I turn serious. "For the first 10 years of my life, I grew up on a farm, being child of the couple on the other side of the locket." Haruhi looks at the locket while I talk, she seems to be studying them. "For those years I didn't really think about the fact that I didn't look like my parents but then on Legacy Day, which is where we discover our powers and destiny things took a rather strange turn."
Haruhi furrows her eyebrows. "Not in a good way I'm guessing." I shrug my shoulders, in reality, it was both. On that day, my life changed, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
"That day I found out I was a Princess. I thought it all was a joke, because seriously, it was way too cliché for me to even comprehend. That was the day they took me to the Castle of Asteria, and they put me through tests and things along those lines. And poof, I'm a princess." I tell her, creating a mini explosion gesture in my hands on the words poof.
"You're not wrong there, that seems like an amazing life." Haruhi says.
"It really was, and that's why I came to Ouran. It reminded me of life in the Castle." And it's true. I also opened the flower shop just to get part of my farming life too.
"Then why did you run away if you loved it?" She ponders thoughtfully.
My smile falls and I cast my gaze downwards. "I didn't run away because of the life style. I was forced to run. My sister and I we fled to Earth when the people of the Fireon or the Fire nation attacked, led by their leaders rebellious child Blayze. He and the people of his nation attacked the Castle on the day we celebrated their element. We should have seen it coming but when we did, it was too late. The last I saw of the place was beginning to burn, along with my real mother and my friends…" I can still see the fire, feel the heat, smell the smoke, hear the screams of agony. I felt a cool wetness roll down my cheek and I realised that I was crying.
I look at my friend and her gaze in down cast. "I'm so sorry about that…" She says almost like a whisper. I place a hand on her own, and she looks at my smiling face.
"Hey, don't worry about me. Think of it like this, if I never came here, I wouldn't have met you or the hosts. And life would be a little dull without you two around. But I am working on a way to get myself back and help my friends." I tell her with a hopeful look in my eyes, and I really do think that.
She looks at me with a smile. "And how's that going?"
I frown, "Not that great. But I'll keep working on it." I say turning my frown upside down.
"Georgia, you've been through so much, and you manage to keep a smile on your face. I'm here for you, and I'll help you get back," She places her other hand on mine. "I promise."
I pull her in for a hug. "Thank you Haruhi...truly."
…
I hoped that this clears a few things up but still leaves a little mystery. Love you all, please fave, follow and review!
Silva Out!
