heyy! this is my original story that I made up. Please read and enjoy!
Chapter 5
I closed the door behind me and locked it with my key. Then I turned to the rest of the chatting girls behind me and smiled. "Let's go."
"What about our pixies?" Kairi asked as Nympha sat delicately in her hand.
"I don't know." Lily confessed. "But I don't think anyone else is suppose to see them but us and anyone in on the secret."
We slowly made our way down the hall, passing other dorm rooms and talking groups of girls. Finally, we walked out of the our dorm and into the school building, onto the hall that led outside.
"Let's have breakfast in the city. I'm already sick of the cafeteria food." Isabella said, making a gagging noise and pretending it barf.
I laughed and nodded as we headed outside. "Wow, there's a slight breeze!"
"It's only September!" Bridgette complained. We hurried down the steps as Kairi tried to check her watch. "What time is it now...no...it can't be....that's weird...huh...."
"Wow, Ri. It's 8 o'clock, ok?" Iz sighed.
Suddenly, we bumped into a group of boys, all wearing hoodies and sunglasses.
"What the heck..." Lily murmured as the one in the front took off his hood. Then he took his sunglasses off only to reveal Jonah!
"Hey baby. What's up?" he asked, giving her wink. Lily's jaw dropped and she gave him a dirty look. Isabella stepped up to scream at Jonah just when another hooded guy stepped up to take down his hood and sunglasses. He had dark brown hair and light brown eyes and an angry look upon his face.
"Seth!" Lily cried and jumped into the guy's arms. "Lily!" He greeted as his face brightened up and a smile replaced the frown. Isabella blushed furiously, (I don't know why) and took a step back to stand behind me a bit.
"Is that her boyfriend?" I asked quietly to Bridgette.
"NO!" came four different voices. I looked around shocked. Not only did Lily and Seth cry 'no' but so did Isabella and Jonah. Suddenly, Jason took off his hood and laughed. "That is too funny!"
"That's Seth Summers; Lily's older brother. He's in Year 2. Like the rest of us." Jason explained between gulps of air.
I stared at the last two hooded people. Who were they?
"Could we please get moving? At least until we're out of the city then you can talk!" One of them said urgently. The other nodded and took off is hood. It reveal Todd Carter. Beside me Bridgette growled.
"Hey girls. Hey, Daph." He said, giving me a smile. I nodded meekly in reply, watching from the corner of my eye to see Bridgette turn away from him.
"Where are you girls off to anyway?" Seth asked, putting himself between Jonah and Lily. She smiled thankfully at her brother.
"Well...we're going to Kairi's place. We have to take the Ivylonia Expressbut it's ok. We want to go get some breakfast first though." Isabella explained. She tugged at my arm. "We have to go."
"Will that take us away from this place?" the last hooded guy asked. His voice was smooth and silky but also had an edgy, nervous tone to it. As if he didn't like being in Ivylonia!
"Yeah." I answered, smiling. "Who are you?"
"Can't tell you yet." He said and began to walk ahead. "Let's go with the girls. This way to the bus stop."
"Wait! Don't walk too fast!" Todd said and hurried to walk beside him, pulling his hood back up. Bridgette groaned.
"Yeah. We should go with them. Don't worry, we'll protect you gals." Jonah said, mostly towards Lily.
Seth sighed. "I think I can protect my own sis, thanks. Let's just get going."
I linked arms with Isabella, Bridgette and Kairi while Lily stayed by her brother's, away from Jonah. She suddenly seemed like a different person, a smaller, less independant girl, thankful that her big, older brother could take care of her.
"Can't we get breakfast first?" Isabella whined.
"No. Let's get it in the human world. Are you ok with that, Isabella?" Seth asked softly. Isabella gulped and nodded slowly.
I giggled with Bridgette as we tried to mimick her look. She smacked us each on the arm. "OW!"
Soon, we were at the bus stop, and it appeared; the bus that took me to this marvelous place.
Kairi went first and we came behind her. "Hey Bill! Take us home, will you?"
We all crowded onto the bus that was surprisingly empty. Once we were settled into seats, he took off driving.
"Ok, can you tell us who you are now?" I asked the hooded guy. Reluctantly, he took his hood off. His light brownish-blonde hair came tumbling out and he took off his sunglasses to reveal gold, perfect eyes. They were not the same as Isabella's, but still, it was not different. "Dylan. Dylan King."
My heart nearly stopped. He was a Royal! But that was not fully why I couldn't breathe anymore. It was because he was simply gorgeous.
"You're Daphne Nelson. The human in a magical creatures' school. I've heard alot." he smiled and I nearly fainted. All I could do was nod.
The way we were sitting was; Bridgette (by the window), Kairi, Isabella, Me, Lily, Seth, Dylan, Jonah, Jason and then Todd, by the other window.
"We can come out now right?" A voice chirped from my purse. I looked down surprised and all eyes were on me. I opened my purse slowly, then laughed when all five pixies flew out.
"Wow. Are those pixies?" Dylan asked, his eyes wide with amazement. I nodded as Pynki landed on my shoulder, smiling at Dylan. "You're cute!" she said, then pretended to blush. Her tiny hands came up to hide her mouth and she fluttered her eyelashes. I laughed.
Petalle came to sit in Lily's lap and suddenly, she didn't need Seth anymore. She began to play with Petalle's hair. Nympha sat upon Kairi's head while Blaze sat on the armrest thing, staring up at Isabella. Eira glided through the air gracefully to come and float beside Bridgette, who smiled at her tiny pixie.
The ride took shorter then I had thought and soon we were at Pearl Harbor.
"How exactly do we get to your house?" Lily asked, her arms folded across her chest stubbornly. We had just finished breakfast at a Pancake house that was delicious.
"Well, humans just simply can't find my transport. So don't worry 'bout that. Only magical creatures could see it." Kairi explained.
My smile came off. "Kairi...I'm not a magical creature though."
"You are now! You have me, Daph!" Pynki said. She was sitting on my shoulder.
"That's right." Jason smiled. "Don't worry."
Kairi walked to the edge of the harbor, towards the railing. She looked around and then slowly climbed to the other side of the railing.
"KAIRI! STOP! What are you doing? That's dangerous!" Jason cried, momentarily scared.
She laughed. "Come on!" Then, she disappeared below the railing.
"KAIRI!" Jason shouted then ran towards the railing and jumping over it quickly.
"Kairi! Jason!" we all cried then ran towards the railing and looked down. There was a ladder, and a tunnel that went down with the ladder, which carried air. Dylan slowly climbed over the railing and went down the ladder. "Come on, Daph. I'll catch you."
Not knowing why I suddenly believed him, I swung my leg over and then descended the ladder. Salt water slashed onto me, and my teeth chattered. It was freezing! Slowly I went down, and Todd, Bridgette , Seth, Isabella , Lily and then lastly Jonah came after me.
I jumped and, to my surprise, landed in Dylan's arms. I blushed. "Told ya I would catch you." he winked at me and setted my down. We parted way for Todd to come down and prepared to catch Bridgette. Surprisingly, she did a flip in the air, and landed gracefully on her feet, shoving Todd's arms away. "Hmf." she muttered as she stalked off towards Kairi, who was waiting beside a really angry/relieved Jason.
Once Seth had caught both Isabella and Lily and Jonah had came down last to shut off the tunnel's top, we hurried to Kairi. Beside her was a cart, and on it was a gazillion towels. "We usually get wet when we try to go in and out so we have extra towels here just in case. Daddy put more here because he thought I would bring the whole school instead of a couple of friends." she laughed and then dried her hair quickly with a towel. We all grabbed one to dry ourselves.
Finally, we slowly walked down the long, bright tunnel. Apparently, we were on the ocean's ground because loads of fish came swimming by. I grabbed Todd's arm and pulled him aside. "Todd! You have got to apologize to Bridgette. Please?"
"Yeah I know but she keeps avoiding me. I heard you guys made up, that's great!" He looked down at me, and I thought I saw something flash by. What was it?
Then, Dylan was at my side. "Just go talk to her. She'll forgive you. She always does." With that, he led me back to the group. "Stay away from him, Daph. He's a real player. The only one who could control him is Bridgette." Why did he care about me so much? I grinned and replied, "Don't worry. Todd and I are just friends. I have my eye set on another guy." I left him there to think about what I just said and hurried to link arms with Isabella and Bridgette.
Pynki came to rest on my shoulder once more, and whispered in my ear. "I'll get Bridgette alone with Todd. Leave it to me!" She flew off then and grabbed Eira from behind, covering her mouth so she couldn't scream and led her to Todd's shoulder.
"Where's Eira?" Bridgette asked, looking around. "I don't know. Go ask the others if they've seen her." I suggested, happy that Pynki was so smart. Bridgette nodded and went towards Kairi.
Then, Isabella screamed. "SHARK!"
I screamed and looked at the place she was pointing at. A large, white shark was swimming around the tunnel. Isabella grabbed one of Seth's arms as Lily grabbed the other. I backed right into Dylan's arms and he instantly whispered in my ear, "It's ok. It's ok. It's just a shark."
Jonah stood just before Lily, his arms ready to fight if needed. Jason wanted to pull Kairi back but she stood firmly were she was, and she was closest to the shark. I peeked over to see Bridgette holding onto Eira tenderly as Todd wrapped his arms around her.
I held onto Pynki in my hands, wanting to hide her from the terrors of the great beast. Nympha was hiding inside Kairi's hair while Blaze actually went back into her locket. Petalle was in Lily's arms. We all watched silently as the shark came closer and closer to the tunnel's outside. What if he broke in? What if we drowned?
Kairi took a step forward and Jason stood right beside her, whispering something urgently into her ear. She took another step forward. It looked like he was protesting! She pressed a hand on the glass wall and the shark's nose touched the glass where her hand is. She smiled then took her hand away. The shark swam away.
She turned towards us and gave us a surprised look. "Are you guys...afraid?"
"T-that was a-ash-ark! O-of c-course we'd be s-scared." I mumbled.
"He's very friendly though!" She protested. "He said, 'Welcome Home, Princess! And Welcome to your friends too! I hope they have a nice visit!'"
"Princess? You're a princess?" Bridgette asked.
We started following Kairi again. "For now. " she continued. "A couple of years back my father was just the general of the King. But then the King died, leaving only a widow and a son that was barely a year old. Daddy was given the crown, because we are also great descendants of King Triton I. Daddy will only be King until the time that the son is fully grown and can rule himself. Daddy is fine with being King but he prefers being a General. 'Greed is given to Kings. Generals still have generosity.' he says. So now, I am a princess. At least until little Logan is grown up. We leave in the castle, but so does the Widow and her family."
"Wow." We murmured.
"Wait...Kairi, you're a mermaid. But we're...we're not! I'm a fire phoenix! I'll die in the water! Kairi, how am I suppose to visit your house, once we're out of this tunnel?" Isabella asked, fearfully.
"We're here." Kairi murmured. Then she turned around. "Take these pills. They'll let you breathe underwater. And...these green pills here...will change you into temporary mermaids and mermans. That is, they only last for twenty four hours. Lastly, faeries can survive underwater too. So in case...you know? Take these." She handed each of us two pills; a blue and a green.
"Swallow the blue first. Then swallow the green as I open the door into my city. The Lost City of Atlantis, of course. We have a barrier around it, that prevnets humans or any non-magical creatures to be able to come across it." Kairi explained.
I took the blue one and swallowed. It tasted like blueberries. Then, as Kairi opened the door, I ate the green one. It was like green apples. A warm sensation came through my veins and a pink light surrounded me. When I opened my eyes, my clothes were gone and instead of legs was a pink mermaid's tail! I looked down upon myself and saw that my top was a tube top. How I felt violated! My locket's jewel was pink. It seemed Pixies could not survive in the water. Except water pixies; like Nympha. I looked around and saw that Bridgette had a silver tail, Isabella a red one and Lily had a green tail. The boys all had bare chests and a blue tail, which they flipped frequently. Finally, we looked around for Kairi. She was beautiful! Her tail was a rich ocean blue colour that matched her eyes. But not only did she had a tail, she had on a sort of skirt too. Her hair had a small golden crown laid upon it, and her arms each had on several bangles.
Suddenly, a dozen mermans appeared. They surrounded us and bowed deeply at Kairi. "Princess Kairi. Welcome home. Your father is waiting."
She smiled. "Stand please. And yes, escort me and my friends back to the castle. Thank you."
I giggled. Kairi was so different when she was in her original habitat. We swam (ha ha that's funny) into Atlantis' main court and everyone was starring, making way for the princess.
Finally, we stopped at the front gates. They were brilliant. The castle was all white marble and was gleaming. It had a gazillion towers and hallways and windows and all sorts of archways. The gates slowly opened and we glided inside. The floors and walls had actual jewels in them and on the floor was a gorgeous red carpet. White marble columns lined the sides and gran pictures of previous kings hung on the walls. It was like an underwater paradise.
In the front of the room, was three thrones. The middle was the largest golden one and on its left was the second largest. Lastly, on its right was the smallest but beautiful gran chair. In the middle throne sat a tall, buff merman. He had a royal blue tail and a gigantic chest. His wrists had golden bangles on them and on his head was a royal crown. He had the huge, gold Trident in his left hand and the left one was resting on the throne.
"DADDY!" Kairi cried, swimming towards her father. She jumped into his arms as he stood up and he laughed. "Kairi! Your friends are watching!"
Us girls curtsied while the four boys bowed. Dylan stood tall.
"Aren't you going to bow, boy?" Kairi's father (King Fredrick) asked, sitting down. Kairi sat in the smallest throne. "You may stand."
We stood up then looked at Dylan.
"No, sir. I am Dylan King, the eldest son of the Kings' family. The Royalfamily of Ivylonia." Dylan said loud and clear. He smiled. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Very well. A King, huh?" He laughed. "Get it? His last name's King, and he's from the royal family? No? Oh well."
Kairi hid her face in her hands.
Suddenly, a little boy swam out from behind the columns "Kai-ri!" he shouted and swam up to Kairi, throwing his arms around her neck. "Logan! It's nice to see you too!"
"That's the future king?" Dylan asked. Logan had a royal blue tail like King Fredrick but he had blonde hair and big blue eyes. He looked so handsome.
A woman swam out then. She curtsied deeply at King Fredrick's feet before getting Logan from Kairi's arms. Even though she looked like a normal mermaid, around her neck was a dazzling diamond necklace.
"Margaret! You have no need to curtsy in front of me! Surely you don't think that I am higher then you? Your son will be the heir to the throne, not my little Kairi here. She does not need such a position. But Logan, dear Logan, will be a mighty king and ruler of Atlantis! And you, as his mother, will be their guardian!" King Fredrick complimented. He smiled.
"Dear Fredrick. Thank you dearly for taking my dead husband's place. I could never had been able to do what you do now. Thank you. You are higher then me at the moment. And because of it, I must curtsy." Her voice was rich and high and very intelligent. She curtsied once more before saying, "I will get Queen Mandy for you."
Once Margaret had left, another woman came in. Her hair was up in a high bun and a royal golden crown was around it. She had a deep ocean blue tail like Kairi's and a red royal cloak tied around her. Her hair was a rich brown colour, and her eyes a beautiful light brown. She smiled and ran towards Kairi. "Baby!"
"Mother! My friends are here!" Kairi blushed. "It does not matter, Honey! Oh, how was school? Fun? Looks like you made a lot of friends! Wow! Was it hard? Did you drink all that water? Are u dehydrated? Baby, are you hungry? Should I call for the chef? Oh, I should probably make it myself! What about your little friends? Would the like something too? Wow, I'm so nervous! They're soo cute! Honey, are you cold? I'll get you a cloak! Why, they probably need one too! Gretchen!" Queen Mandy babbled on.
"Wow." Dylan murmured. "I know." I agreed.
"Excuse me. EXCUSE ME!" Lily cried. Queen Mandy stopped and looked at her. Lily blushed and curtsied then she stood up. "Hi. We're fine thanks. Umm...how about a tour?"
"Oh, of course! Why, duh! Ok, ok, GRETCHEN!" She called. Another mermaid came out bowing.
"Let's go!" Kairi shouted and soon we were excitedly walking down her halls and looking into the fabulous rooms.
We sat outside, in the royal garden, watching the city below. It was quite peaceful. After the tour of the castle, we were pooped, and it was nice to just rest. There was a carnival down in the city, and Kairi promised that after we rested we would be able to go. Have you ever been to an underwater carnival? Yeah, me either.
Then, Gretchen, the purple-tailed mermaid, came out, leading two toddlers by the hand. They were identical; light brownish- blonde hair that was wavy up to their shoulders and beautiful ocean blue tails. "Kairi!" They called, high and bell-like.
"Noelle! Jayde!" Kairi swam towards the girls and carried each of them up. "Guys, meet my baby sisters!"
"How do we tell them apart?" Isabella asked curiously, staying where she was. She didn't like kids as much.
"Well, Noelle has dark blue eyes like my father and I, while Jayde has light brown eyes like my mother." She kissed them each on the cheek. "They're barely a year old."
"Wow. They're as cute as you." Jason whispered quietly.
"Thanks." she murmured back to him. He gave her a surprised look because he didn't think that she could hear him.
After, Gretchen led the children away, despite their crying, to take their naps. We found benches and sat down, while some of the guys went to get drinks.
Dylan sat down beside me, and handed me a soda can. "I don't know what this flavour is, but Kairi says it tastes good."
I laughed and opened it then took a tiny sip. It was a sweet berry taste, yet also had a sugary side to it as well. I smiled at him. "Tell me about yourself, Dyl. About being a Royal. About your family."
"Well, I'm the oldest in my house. Then there's Monica but she takes private schooling. I used to go to this school, with all these guys but she pulled me out and into private schooling with her. Cassi, my youngest sister, was really playful then, and she usually skipped out on our poor tutor. Then, she disappeared. It was tragic and I just wanted to get away from all that. My mother died, two weeks ago. It made me snap out of the trace that Monica had on me. I...had to get away. Who knows what Monica, as Queen now, will do? Without Cassi, we're doomed!" He sighed then placed his head in his hands. "I dumped my friends because of Monica. Just think, she had that much power over me and my mother was still alive, now, when she's gone and my sister is crowned Queen, what will she make me do?"
I patted his shoulder. "You will do the best you can to do good instead of evil, Dylan. Your friends are still here with you, even though you dumped them for your sis. She can't really be that bad."
"EVERYONE LOOK! DEMONS! DADDY! DADDY! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Kairi cried, jumping up from the bench across from us. We ran towards the railing, overlooking the city. People were screaming and running for their lives as big huge demons smashed the rides and games at the carnival. An evil laugh could be heard all over the city. A girl's laugh.
"You were saying?" Dylan asked me. "Your sister did this?!?!?!?!?!"
A figure loomed high above the drama beneath it. A girl.
"That's Brie Bautista. She works for my sister. Pure evil? I just don't know." He answered.
"Everyone take cover!" Kairi cried and we ran into the castle.
"We have to stop her!" Jason shouted.
"How?" I asked.
"You guys are faeries! It's your jobs to defend evil!" Jonah cried, pulling Lily closer. "You can do it, Summers!"
"We'll protect you. We're your guardian protectors. But you have to fight off Brie!" Dylan said.
"We could do it, Daph!" A small voice came from my locket. "Pynki! Oh, Pynki, do you think so?"
"Yes! Say the words, Daph! Say it!" She urged.
"Pynki! Pixie Dust!" I cried. The pink light came back. I watched as my tail disappeared and my faerie outfit came back. Soon, I landed onto the ground, having my legs back once more.
"Eira! Pixie Dust!"
"Nympha! Pixie Dust!"
"Blaze! Pixie Dust!"
"Petalle! Pixie Dust!"
"GUARDIAN POWERS! PROTECT US!" The boys cried. (Wow. weirdd...) They all looked the same. Black track pants with blue edgings. Black muscle shirts and nice black boots. They had all sorts of ninja stuff; swords, knives, the star thingys, etc.
"You look cute." Dylan whispered in my ear. "Shut up." I muttered, blushing. "Girls! Let's see what we can do!"
We ran and jumped off the railing....
....but we didn't fall. At all....
...we began to fly!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I was in the lead and we flew right over to the carnival, landing just beyond the destruction. The monsters were more like black bears, huge, gimongous black bears. They roared and teared everything apart, while the Brie girl stood there laughing. She had mid-night black hair like my , and silver, taunting eyes. Her hair was up in a single ponytail, with side bangs parted at the side. Around her neck was a silver circle on a ribbon. She wore a black tube top with straps and a pink undershirt that was also tube style. She wore black baggy pants with a pink belt that tied at the side of her hip. Her right arm had a knife ready there and on her left arm was a pink ribbon that made X's on her arm. She had black gloves with pink edgings and big grey boots. She had a long, sword tied to her right hip and little daggers hung from the sword's belt thing. Lastly, she had a bandanna thing that covered her mouth. It was also black. To my surprise, floating beside her was a pixie! She had hot pink hair tied up in two short ponytails and a black and pink dress the same style as our pixies. Could she be, an EVIL pixie?
"MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! MWA HA HA HA HA! DYLAN KING, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR BETRAYING MY WONDERFUL QUEEN!" Brie shouted. She had spotted us!
"Heart Shield!" Came from my mouth as I lifted my hands to stop her. She bounced off the barrier and was thrown towards the sky. She shook her head and growled. "Who are you?"
"We are...we are....what are we? What do we call ourselves?" Bridgette asked. Lily sighed. Isabella slapped her head. Kairi frowned. "We are the ELEMENT FAERIES!" I shouted. "WHAT?" the girls shouted.
"Sorry, it was the only thing I could think of." I apologized, giving a small smile.
"Whatever! I'll DESTROY you!" She shouted and took out her sword, aiming at me first.
"WATER BUBBLES!" Kairi shouted. Bubbles actually came from her hands.
"ENVELOPING FIRE!" Isabella cried. "What the heck?"
"TWISTING VINES!" Lily yelled. "Wow...that really sucks."
They all shot at Brie and knocked her from the sky, her sword falling down upon her faerie. "Spira! Spira!" Brie cried. "I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS!" She grabbed her faerie and then disappeared into thin air.
The monsters were also gone, because the boys had just came back after fighting them off too.
"You girls did a great job!" the guys congratulated us.
We made our way back towards the castle, really really pooped now.
We headed into the school just as night was falling. You could never tell what time it is underwater. After a lot of explaining to King Fredrick, and a lot of worrying from Queen Mandy, we finally got to go home. The shark came back and we found out that sharks guarded outside of Atlantis.
"Thanks a bunch for letting us come too, Kairi." Jason said, smiling.
"Yeah, Thanks." Jonah also said.
"Bye." I murmured to Dylan. "Bye." he whispered back.
Todd gave Bridgette a hug then the guys turned and left.
Suddenly, Jonah turned around and ran back, giving Lily a quick peck on the cheek before running after his friends. Lily's jaw dropped and her cheeks became bright red. "He is soo going to get a beating from my brother!"
We all laughed and headed towards our dorm. "You liked it, Summers. You know you did." Isabella taunted.
"Yeah, well I've seen how you've looked at my brother. So you like Seth huh, Rossi?" Lily laughed.
Isabella blushed. "No..."
We went in, changed and then crawled into bed.
"Tomorrow, I think I'm going to pay my parents a visit. ok? You guys want to come with?" Isabella asked.
"Sure..."
"Good night."
"Yeah. See you guys tomorrow..."
"Night..."
