Now read on, My deformed little blue cupcakes, read on.
We barely made it fifty yards when Aiden started to shiver.
He tried to hide it of course, but I could hear his teeth chattering from here. He kept rubbing his arms and wiggling his double gloved fingers, He walked recklessly with no attempt to be quiet.
"The tree should be here somewhere," I muttered to myself, stopping to examine each frost covered tree. "Ahh here it is" I said I stood five feet away, closed my eyes and flung out my hand. Skeleton birds and bleeding doves flew fast away from the tree, as its winter coverings were stripped. One bird caught my eye, it had slivery blonde feathers and the eyes were humanoid but a shade of indigo.
"Did you guys see that bird?" I asked turning and finding my partners in crime spitting feathers and picking down from each other's hair.
"No we didn't,"
"we were to busy getting attacked by them!"
"Well sorry! If I didn't get to this tree Aiden would freeze to death!" I defended and reached in the tree and drew out a long trench coat covered in the eternally warm fur from various summer creatures, and shoved it at Aiden. I grabbed the matching hat and plopped it on his spikey scarlet hair. I unhooked fuzzy boot coverings, wrist straps and shoved them at Aiden's chest.
"This stuff is amazing" He exclaimed while securing on the numerous fur coverings. "It's super warm!"
"Yeah I know I'm the one who enchanted it. Hopefully you'll be fine in that, Do you want something too Kieran?"
"Yep" he nodded, I pulled out a similar coat for my brother.
"Wait why do you need one?" Aiden questioned while hoping from foot to foot, he's ADHD sometimes. "Aren't you guys supposed to be immune to the cold?"
"Full blood Unseelie fey are, but since we have summer, and iron and mortal in our blood, we are not." I answered as I pulled out my coat. A silk black French coat, which cut off in the front but dragged on the snowy ground in the back. When it cut off the back flared out a little making my hips look bigger than they are. I shrugged it on and tied the small bow resting on the small of my back. I pushed my raven hair behind my now pointed ears, and saw Aiden gaping at me.
"Umm… Aiden?" He snapped out of his trance, his pale face turning the same color as his hair. Kieran playfully elbowed him, a knowing smirk spread across his face. "Okay well anyway, we should get going. Find Stacey, and get the hell out of here."
"Oh leaving so soon, Love?"
I turned fast drawing my sword from the air it was sheathed in. I saw Xavier emerging from the shadows his hunting dogs following soundlessly. My twin and Aiden went for their weapons but the hounds attacked, not harming them but knocking their weapons away and pinning them to the ground, the rest of the pack started wrestling with Elliot and Yepa.
"Ugh, it's you" I said annoyed "Haven't I killed you already," I sneered, taping my sword to the ground changing the steel blade to an ice one, like my father's.
"Many times Love but never terribly, my sister has enjoyed our duels, it gives her quite a challenge fixing me up,"
"Speaking of your sister, how is she?" I said while circling my opponent.
"She is well, growing into a beautiful young healer, taken up swordplay as well, I wonder how that happened"
"Me obviously," I smirked, I could go all day. "And does she still like to slide down the grand stair case? And wear her mother's shoes?"
"Alexis what are you doing? Kill him already!" Aiden struggled to shout, I glanced sharply at him, "Shut up!" I mouthed. I glanced at my brother; he was lying unconscious a bloody gash being licked clean by one of Xavier's hounds.
"Silence Human!" My Foe sneered down at Aiden "And yes" he said calmly "I doubt Celli will grow out of that, would you not agree, Preeti?
"Ahh yes that's true, but Aiden is correct, I do believe it is time for our monthly duel." I lunged, easily slipping past Xavier's guard but purposely stabbed lightly so it was a shallow gash. We parried and blocked moving to a rhythmic dance. Our clashing blades were a good distraction from the world around us, the snow around my feet was melting as we sloshed around stabbing and slicing.
"Oh Xavier, you have gotten much better," I complemented, when he sliced at my jeans, he smiled stunningly, the surprise in his face showed. "I no longer feel as if I'm fighting a three year old human child, more of a trained Chihuahua." I smiled as his golden eyes flared.
"Yes I have Love, but I think I am more of a chimera, it's an easy mistake to make." He made a daring gamble that I knew he would try; I locked our hilts and jerked back yanking his sword out of his left hand while knocking him to the slush that coated the ground. I straddled his hips and pressed the crossed swords to his neck.
"What is this, twenty, twenty three?"
"I believe Preeti, it is only fifteen."
"Oh I'm sure it's more than that, nineteen perhaps?"
"Yes I believe that is a good number," I smiled down at my pinned foe.
"The great Preeti and her infant Chihuahua, X, finally agreeing on something, after putting on their best show know today, it's remarkable," I said in my best announcer voice, "Wouldn't you say, Larry?"
"I agree completely Jane, and the frightened boys, with the dogs? Ohh they were such a nice addition, and the remarks from Preeti, and Xavier? Talk about gold!" Xavier responded mocking my tone. "Ohh it's good to see you again Alexis," He laughed.
"Ohh little puppy, it's wonderful to see you too," I rolled off him and we laughed. We laughed at the snow, which was no longer seeping into our sparing circle. We laughed at Aiden and his horrified expression. We laughed at the dogs that were still rolling around on the wet ground. We laughed at his Queen and we laughed at mine. We laughed at the sky, daring it to snow, we laughed at the monsters lurking in the shadows daring them to attack. We laughed until we couldn't breathe.
"We should go Love; Cecily will be looking forward to healing your brother."
"As much as I love that idea, I'm banned from the Wintincanta estate,"
"Yes, but not the Tin-Can estate," he winked at me rising and bowing, offering his hand, "Princess Alexis of the iron court, heir to Queenship, and the most dangerous woman alive, would you care for a hand to rise?" I grasped his hand and was pulled up off my feet and placed gently on the damp grass. I hugged him, and he hugged me, careful to avoid my bow.
"It is truly wonderful to see you again," I repeated and fixed his messy jet black hair. I went over to Aiden and helped him up, brushing some snow of his coat and out of his hair placing his fur hat back on his scarlet spikes. "Aiden this is X, Xavier this is Aiden." the boys were glaring at each other, Xavier glanced at my arm which was resting on my best friends hip, and growled, Aiden smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at Xavier. As looked between them; I figured it was some stupid size up. I walked over to the shrub behind the coat tree pulling out a sled dog sled complete with harnesses, big enough to move my unconscious brother. I whistled and all the canines stop messing around and got into their proper order, waiting to be harnessed.
"I continue to be appalled by your ability to tame my pack, when I can barely do that myself." said Xavier as he approached to help with harnessing the dogs/wolves.
"This is awesome! Do we really get to ride on it?" Aiden gaped at the sled, running his hands over the sliver bark and drawing smiley faces in the snow coating.
"Hands off Human," Barked Xavier "of course we don't ride it you pun-"
"Xavier!" I stared at him in shock, he never acted this way, "first off normally people do ride dog sleds so it was a legitimate question, second his is definitely not what you were going to say, Aiden is an awesome person and a better friend, you insult him again I won't stop my sword when it comes in for the kill!" Yepa and Elliot snarled next to me to prove my point. "Whatever has gotten into you needs to leave X, I will not have you in this party if you are offensive and discriminating, Understand?"
"Why do your care for this mundane creature Love?" Aiden squirmed in the background, looking embarrassed.
"Because he's my best friend! And would you stop calling me Love, you know my real name now."
"But I knew you as Preeti long before I knew your true name; I like it much better then Alexis. The meaning is soooo appropriate" He responded sarcastically, I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fine but drag my brother over here would you? I'm sure he's dying to be hauled along to a freezing house and given a makeover by its youngest resident."
Xavier smirked "Sure thing Love,"
Potassium, hope ya'll liked it.
"Read and Review, Love"
"Xavier! Stay in the story! stop plaguing this innocent girl with your mundane rambling!"
"Yes Love"
Hehe, well anyway R&R, Love you all!
CHIPMUNK SMILE :3
Oreo Out!
