Ash: I'm still mad.
Puck: Aww lighten up, ice-boy! This is about our kids, not you and Meghan or me and Meghan.
Dark Mina: *shakes head* I pity you two.
Ash & Puck: What? Why?
Dark Mina: If you guys can't figure that out you're stupider than I thought.
Ash & Puck: What?
Dark Mina: *sighs* on with the story!
Recap: "I want to know about that winter faery that attached you and-" Dad took a moment until he said, "-how long have you been in love with Kierran?"
My eyes widen with shock as I ask, "H-how did you know?"
Dad looked at me with sad eyes, "You look at Kierran the same way I look at Meghan."
Thorn
Silence filled the room until I finally said, "I've liked him for a while now, but my feeling grow the more time I spend with Kierran."
Dad nodded thoughtfully before saying the worse thing a dad can say, "I don't want you to see him again."
"What?" I screamed staring at him with disbelief.
"I'm sorry but I won't let you go through what Ash went through when there's a million more, here in the Seelie Court."
"But Kierran is my best friend!"
"I know and I'm sorry, but I will not let you go through the hurt that will follow this Iron and Summer love between you two."
"What if I fall for a Winter? Will you ban me from him too?" I yelled as my anger grew.
"Yes," was the last thing Dad said before leaving me in my room alone.
I looked down at my hand in my lap stunned. My dad, Robin Goodfellow, just banned me from Kierran! The fey I love and was just cuddling with! How could he be so cruel to do this to me?
Taking a deep breathe I got out a bed, got in a blue dress I've had for so long I don't even remember where it came from, but at the moment I couldn't care less. I quickly climbed out my window and ran over to a faery horse. As I swung my leg over I knew Dad would notice I was gone soon which meant I had to get as far as I could before he did. I didn't stop until I was near the Wyldwood. I took a deep breath and quickly went dashed to the dark forest.
I jumped off the horse and told it to leave. When it was a mile or so away, I started to enter but an ice shard quickly flew towards me. I dropped to the ground as the ice flew over my head. Looking around I slowly got up.
"Now you decide not to get hit?" asked the Winter girl walking out of the Wyldwood.
I glared at her and said, "Of course, it wouldn't be fun if I was already dying."
She smirked saying, "It would be more fun to fight then just drag your body to Queen Mab"
"Why does Mab want me anyway?" I asked.
"Isn't obvious?"
"Mab is too crazy to guess her motives."
"And Titania isn't?" she asked.
"You got me there," I said with a nod.
"Wait, you'll admit your queen is crazy?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
I shrugged and said, "I'm pretty sure everyone already knows Titania is, or at least thinks it."
"Are you always so casual with the people who want to kill you?"
"I don't know, my dad taught me how to fight so kind of."
The Winter stood there for a moment until her eyes widen and she quickly turned around seeing me with my dagger raised in the air.
I frowned and said, "I guess you know how my dad fights."
"Who doesn't?" she asked pulling out her own dagger.
Our blades clashed as we slashed at one another over and over again. She tried to stab me but I sliced her arm. She cried out in plain and took a step away from me.
"Goodfellow taught you well," the Winter said holding her arm.
"He wasn't the only one who taught me how to fight," I replied.
She looked at me for a moment then asked, "Who else taught you then?"
"Why do you care?" I asked taking another swipe at her.
She jumped back missing my blade and shot an ice shard at me. I quickly moved hitting out of the air, 'damn that hurt' I thought keeping an eye on the girl.
"Will you make a deal with me?" the Winter asked surprising me.
I stood there staring at her confused. "Look, I need to take you back to Mab and you… I don't know. But I could help you with anything you need."
"So I go back to the Winter Court with you after you help me? There's no way I'm that stupid."
"Aww come on just let me help you one little thing then come back with me to face Mab."
"Oh yeah I'll defiantly let you clean my house and then sacrifice myself."
"Take this serious for a moment will you?"
"I am," I practically yelled. I hate when people tell me to be serious when I make a little joke.
The girl put her hands up with surprise. "Touchy much?" she asked which only made me madder.
"You know what you're just like everyone else that thinks just because my dad is Puck that I'm as much as a trickster as him." Once the words left my mouth a stomped away into the dark woods leaving the Winter girl behind.
As I walked to me and Kierran's pond I could hear the girl running after me. Without thinking I yelled out, "What do you want?"
"You know what I want," she replied walking beside me.
"Who are you anyway?" I asked looking at her.
"You can call me Kiri," she said looking annoyed.
"Great now go away."
She grabbed my arm with no hesitation and turned me towards her so we were facing each other.
"I'm not going away until we have a deal or I have you knocked out on the ground, your choice."
"The only thing I need help with is seeing Kierran."
I couldn't believe what I just said as me and Kiri stared at each other. A hand was over my mouth and I couldn't stop thinking she's going to tell Mab, who will tell Oberon and I'll have a front row seat on the train to the human world, stuck forever going insane slowly.
Finally I was surprised when Kiri said, "Okay let me think of something to do."
Puck: *jaw to the floor*
Ash:*jaw to the floor*
Dark Mina: *smiles* more silence… isn't nice?
...
Dark Mina: Wow I didn't think this would stun you guys that much, especially because Ash and Meghan made a deal like this.
Ash: The deal I made with Meghan was I help her to Machina then come to the Tir Na Nog with me, not I help her get to her love in the Iron Realm.
Dark Mina: it's still kind of the same.
Ash: No it's not.
Puck: I can't believe my daughter might actually make a deal with a Winter!
Dark Mina: You did just ban her from Kierran… I would do the same thing.
Puck: Shut up *walks away*
Dark Mina: Why does it seem like he keeps leaving these things?
Ash: Because he's a candy ass
Dark Mina: *looks at Ash with eyebrow raised*
Ash: *sighs* Nevermind.
